As you can see the packing is super cute, holographic unicorns on each tube of lipstick make for a 'gleeful' time when re-applying. Doe Deere is a strong believer that when you apply lipstick, it should be an artful process, not something that should be done hidden in the depths of a bathroom. I definitely would not be ashamed to take of this lipstick and apply it in front of everyone, what a conversation starter it would be!
Above: This is what D'Lilac looks like on my lips. I have really been in love with lilac colors as of late, I think it exudes a sort of Cyberpunk sort of look and I am really smitten with this lipstick. In fact, I am wearing it today to work! I love the way it mutes out the natural color of lips and really speaks for itself!
Above: This is what My Beautiful Rocket looks like on my lips. A beautiful, pure orange without any red undertones. Exactly what I have been looking for in an orange lipstick!
I would definitely recommend applying these lipsticks with a lipbrush for precise application or I would advise applying slowly to make sure you get a nice crisp line (especially on the lower lip).
Pros - a multitude of colors you won't find any where else, lasts on the lips for quite awhile before reapplying is needed, fast shipping/packaged well, pure glee every time you put it on!
Cons - kind of expensive ($16 for one lipstick), a bit dry when you first put it on (I would apply a bit of chapstick/Carmex to prep the lips before applying), bright colors make for a statement so try to apply it as best as you can (watch for messiness!).
Overall, I have to say that I am in love with Lime Crime Makeup and what Doe Deere has to offer. She gives you a multitude of colors (both with these new lipsticks and the existing eyeshadows that are sold) that you cannot find anywhere else. I am impressed with Doe Deere's ability to be both inspiring as well as a teacher through her work with her cosmetics line and I am sure she will continue to revolutionize what it means to wear makeup and how you make a statement with it! If anything, I would buy one color just to be part of the experience! I am sure at some point in the future, I will be buying myself another color from the site!

It was a splurge, not something I would do all the time! :) Save up for one, I am sure they will be around for a long time, since they have been selling extremely successfully!

Having an opinion is good, spamming other people's blogs is not.
At the risk of being called a spammer or troll, I have to point out that you can in fact order pigments that perform identically to hers but are much more reasonably priced. I am NOT saying that they're the same- they come in baggies, not cute little unicorn adorned jars, but for $1.50 that's a point of difference I'm willing to contend with. BTW, I have been a professional makeup artist for 14 years, so when I say the pigments seem identical, that is a trained beauty pro's opinion.
ReplyDeleteHer lipsticks certainly look unique, and the packaging is adorable. I also agree with Lacy about Xenia's (aka Doe Deere's)ability to teach and inspire. Just think people should know the facts! :)
