Lime Crime: New Nail Polishes

Mmm I just put on some of my golden carousel gloss and decided to go check out the LC site. I think I might be purchasing some of their white eyeliner soon because it would be useful for gyaru eyes. ;)



And that's when I saw that they have nail polishes now! Errr well, coming soon that is!
I am personally not *that* excited unless their formula is really good, because I feel like you can pretty much find any shade of nail polish in a cheaper brand if you so desire and you look hard enough.

But the colors are still pretty nice and of course I love LC, despite all of the bad history of the company. :P

What do you guys and gals think about their new nail polishes? Tried anything from LC lately? I really love their gloss consistency but they need more colors! I can't wear dark red, black, blue, and dark purple on a daily basis. X___x; I can barely wear this gold but it looks nice and bronzey on my tan skin right now.

Oh yes, I went spray-tanning today with my gal pal Jax because we're going to a Hawaiian themed party so we both decided to wear manba. Well, romanba for me. I am scared. It's my first time attempting such makeup! Trial run tomorrow, before the party of course! The party is Thursday. X___x;

Oh and Fyrinnae released some lovely eyeshadows! Pastels! <3

Lime Crime: New Eyeliners

So I don't usually follow what certain brands release but I am kind of a sucker for Lime Crime's packaging and general colorfulness! xD



Wonder if they will be any good. I avoided their eyeshadows because I heard they basically just repackage.... lol. But I own some of their (maybe repackaged?) lip sticks and gloss!

Also... I took a ton of pics last night of my bb Creams and other products but I haven't had time to upload them. Here are the items I want to review:

Holika Holika Peach Girl BB Cream
Tony Moly Milk Latte Art Morning Pack
Skin 79 BB Cream Minis
Misc samples.

So stay tuned... X___x;;

Nude Lips for Gyaru!

Before I start this post, does anyone know what happened to universal-doll.com?? It says her account is suspended? D: D: D:
(Maybe she hasn't paid her webhosting fees on time? LOL IDK! Come back soon, Mitsu! D:


So anyway today's post is going to be about nude lips for gal style make up (make!)



Let's talk about a few products you could use for achieving the nude lip look!


Candy Doll Lip Concealer + Gloss
MAC Myth Lipstick
Kat Von D "Celebutard" Lipstick
Lime Crime Coquette Lipstick
Tarina Tarantino





L to R: Lime Crime Lipstick in Coquette, Kat Von D Lipstick in Celebutard, and MAC Myth.


L to R: Candy Doll Pink Gloss alone, Candy Doll pink gloss overtop of Nude Lip Concealer (below that some of the concealer by itself), MAC Lipglass in Poetic License, and far right is the Tarina Tarantino Gloss in Ruffle.

Overall I prefer Candy Doll's the best and MAC second best.

Lime Crime Makeup Review: Lipsticks!!!

For those of you who don't know, Lime Crime Make-up is a company notorious for a few things: selling obscenely bright cosmetics, and shady business practices. Despite the shadiness and the rumors of their re-packaging, I buckled down and bought some of their lipsticks. Why? I LOVE the colors they offer, and of course, the amazing purple unicorn packaging. >D Sparkly purple unicorns? YES PLEEEASE!



So yeah.

(click the jump to read more!)










That aside. I have 7 lipsticks:

- My Beautiful Rocket (orange)


- Cosmopop ( pastel/creamy orange)
(some how forgot to take a photo up close of this one...sorry guys! Will add it later!) :x

- Coquette (pinky nude color, new)


- Great Pink Planet (pastel pink)


- D'Lilac (pastel blueish purple)


- Airborne Unicorn (more of a reddish/pinkish purple)


and

- Countessa Fluorescent (Barbie doll pink!)


Countessa, worn:

(I am wearing this over exfoliated lips (used LUSH sweet lips scrub), Burt's Bees Honey Balm base, and OVER my lipstick I am wearing Rimmel Clear Gloss!!




SWATCHES!

L to R: Countessa Fluorescent, Airborne Unicorn, D'Lilac, Great Pink Planet, Coquette, Cosmopop, My Beautiful Rocket

THE GOOD:
- Verrry pigmented. almost annoyingly so. :x
- CUTE packaging, good for putting in purse. Loved the boxes they came in too.
- Unusual colors that you can't really find anywhere else!
- Was able to Google for coupon codes and found one (fb10) that got me 10% off every single item I bought, so basically free shipping!
- Easy to use site, easy to pay, not complicated at all, etc.!!
- I was pissed that they accidentally shipped to the wrong address, so they reimbursed the cost it took for my dad to ship the lipsticks from my other home to my current address! Yay! The shipping was only $3.00 but they didn't overlook it as trivial and reimbursed me. I was honestly more annoyed about the wait time. But anyway!


THE BAD:
- So pigmented that they STAIN your lips when you wipe it off. You need to use makeup remover to get it off all the way and even then...
- Kinda "greasy"...
- Some formulas are better than others, for some reason. Not sure if this has to do with a product being vegan or not...??
- L.C. is very VERY bad at setting their lipsticks properly in molds. My lipsticks arrived with random scuffs and "cuts" in them. Also can tell that they're not properly fixed on their bases. See photos below of My Beautiful Rocket orange lipstick. I bought it (at Modcloth.com, not L.C.) about a year before I bought all of the other colors in this post, and it's already freaking broken! :( And I only used it like once every two months at the most.
- They shipped one of my orders to my billing address by accident. u___u;


"Mess Up" photos:


My poor "My Beautiful Rocket" lipstick after a year of owning it...it had already broken a bit from its base!! >(

Weird "cuts" on my "Great Pink Planet" lipstick. It came out of the box like this. Wtf?
