Lime Crime Makeup

Posted Nov 27, 2008 at 17:09 CET in Makeup and Me.

Xenia of Lime Crime Makeup sent me some makeup to try out so I’m doing a little review!

I chose the Finishing Pixie Dust, the Electric Bubblegum blush and the Dreamer and Medusa eyeshadows.

Finishing Pixie Dust

Normally I don’t wear skin-covering makeup like foundations and powder and such, because I don’t like the feeling and idea of something covering my skin, and I think it looks just fine as it is. I wanted to try this stuff though. It makes the skin completely matte and it really does give something of a “soft lens effect” like the product description promises. It does feel a bit weird having something cover my face, probably because I’m not used to it, but it’s great for removing shinyness. I didn’t have a good brush for this so I’ve just been patting it on with my fingers, it would probably be even better if used with a brush.

Electric Bubblegum Blush

This is a great blush. It looks super fluorescent in the pot but you can control just how bright or soft you want it to look on your cheeks.

Dreamer Eyeshadow

This is easily my new favourite eyeshadow. The colour is beautiful and it is so very glittery, definitely the glitteriest eyeshadow I’ve seen. The glitter is really fine and just amazing, and the photos do it no justice at all.

Medusa Eyeshadow

This shadow is equally glittery and amazing, but in a much darker colour. It looks like glittery charcoal in the pot, and it goes on as a greyish black with a slightly blue tone. You can probably make it even darker by applying it wet, but i haven’t tried that yet. I love this shadow!

These eyeshadows are the best glittery eyeshadows I’ve ever tried and they look so much better in real life than on the Lime Crime site (or in my photos). I highly recommend them. In all these photos I’m wearing the Electric Bubblegum blush and some of the Pixie Dust on my forehead, nose and under the eyes.

tjusigt! du har porslinshy och jag är väldigt avundsjuk ;)

Thank you very much!

va fina bilder. jag blev väldigt nyfiken att se va du har på dig också.. det så spännande och fint ut! jag hitta för länge sen din wardrobe project på flickr. jag är glad att du bloggar nu med!

Tack så mycket! Jag hade faktiskt pyjamas på mig egentligen :D Jag tog bara på en svart kofta och en pälskrage så det skulle se okej ut på bild.

ja, du ser jätte jätte fin ut!
läste att du kommer ifrån malung, där jag spenderat de flesta jular och sommarlov =) min mormor och morfar bor där. kul att sverige är så litet!
ha en fin helg!

Tack så mycket! :)

i want to look like you! you are adorable, like a doll but without the plastic!

vilken snygg makeup. Själv har jag svårt att måla på eyeliner.

Men kvinna du är ju helt gudomligt vacker!

Hello Johanna!
You must be tired of earing this [or not ;) ]: But you are truly beautiful! You are one of my inspirations! If only I was that gorgeous.
I’m asking if you normaly use liquid eyeliner or pencil.
Thank you in advance :)

Thank you very much! :D I usually use pencil actually, it looks softer and is quicker to put on.

hej. undrar så hur du fått till de där fina lockarna? är de permanentat eller rullar?
och i så fall, hur långt hår har du egentligen?

Tack! Jag gör “pin curls”, alltså rullar bara upp håret och sätter en hårnål, och sover på det. Just nu har jag lite längre än axellängd.

It’s so horrible that she turned out to be a fraud. She didn’t ‘develop’ anything. She’s straight repackaging wholesale product in her fancy little jars and claiming she made it herself.

Google ‘lime crime repackaged’ for the truth.

Thank you for the reviews. The products sound like something I’d like but I do have another question regarding the lovely pic of you. Your eyebrows are the exact color I have been looking for without any luck. Can you tell me the name and if it’s pencil or powder. ?

Anam

It’s a Sephora eyebrow pencil but I’m afraid it’s so short now that I can’t see the name of the shade. It’s brown though.

Thanks Johanna ;]
