LIME CRIME POISONBERRY REVIEW

[Since this was written I have discovered that this is a FAKE Lime Crime lipstick, please check out my post on How To Spot A Fake Lime Crime Lipstick]

Lime Crime is a company I have wanted to try since I first heard about them. I finally got one of there lipstick and here is my review on it. 

About The Product 

Described by Lime Crime "Bold. Opaque. Recklessly loaded with pigment. For lips that speak louder then words"

Review

I love the shade of this colour it's a berry purple lipstick. I was disappointed because it wasn't as opaque in the photo on Lime Crime's website. It has a lustruous sheen to it which makes it look almost like a gloss. I did have to apply a few stroke of this lipstick to get the desired opaqueness that I wanted. However I do love this lipstick and I have been wearing it often. On the Lime Crime website it says "this shade combines lipstick and lip stain for prolonged wear" I have to say I don't really agree with that I don't think it really stains the lips and it last about an above average amount of time. I do want to try other lipstick from this brand so hopefully I will be getting them soon :)

Price

You can purchase Lime Crime lipstick from there site.

Lipstick 

$18.00 US

Overall

*Not as opaque as I was expecting 

*Beautiful berry purple lipstick

*Gloss finish

*Last an above average amount of time before reapplying 

Have you tried any Lime Crime lipstick?

Which Lime Crime lipstick should I try next?

ALL GONE [PRODUCTS THAT I'VE FINISHED] #5

Hello to my lovely readers, I'm back to day with my 5th empties post. I have finished some items a few weeks ago and here is my thoughts on the products that I finished.

1. Glow By Jlo this is so old! I have had this since I was in middle school or high school and I finally finished it. This was Jennifer Lopez first perfume that she put out and I think I got this for Christmas or a birthday. It's a floral citrus smell. I first I did like it but over the years I didn't like it anymore and felt it was too strong.

2. Julep Elixir Organic Moroccan Argan Oil, I used this product a few times on my face but I mostly used it in my hair. I love using this because it would moisturize my ends when they looked dry and add shine to my hair. This is something I would buy again.

3. Maybelline Line Stiletto in Brownish Black, I bought the brownish black by mistake but I actually ended up liking this and would wear in on days I didn't feel like wearing black liner. This is a good liquid liner I would buy this again. The tip never dried out and it was easy to use.

4. Peter Thomas Roth Oilless Oil, I got this as a free sample from Sephora. Although I didn't even ask for this the lady just put it in my bag. But I ended up liking this product I would use this after I washed my face and the next day my face was less oily than usual. You only need a little when using products like these. I don't know if I would buy the full size.

5. Ital Blends Goat Milk Body Lotion Jamaican Gypsy, I loved this lotion! It smelled so amazing it would remind me of the spa it had a very relaxing smell to it. I got this lotion in Jamaica at the International Airport when I was leaving. I recommend getting this if you ever have the chance, I think you can also order this online :)

6. Maybelline New York Fit Me Cafe Concealer is my favorite concealer from a drug store this stuff is amazing, there was pretty much no creasing with this concealer and it applied well. You all have to try it! I would for sure buy this again it's a great product.

VELOUR LASHES DOLL ME UP REVIEW

Hey Dolls! Today I'm reviewing Velour Lashes, this is not my first time trying these lashes as I have tried them before, to check out the review on Are Those Real you can click here. Today I'm reviewing their Doll Me Up Lashes.

 

 

About The Product

Launched and based in Toronto, Ontario Velour Lashes are made with 100% authentic mink fur, there high quality, long lasting, light weight, and comfortable. Velour Lashes are cruelty free with no harm being done to the animals, the hair is brushes from live mink and is then sterilized to ensure safe usage. Lashes can be used up to 25 times but if you care for them well they can be use well over 25 times. For more information on Velour Lashes click here.

 

 

 

Review

Like in my lash review when you're taking out these lashes from the case you need to be gentle, as the first time I bought Velour Lashes I accidently pull a lash out. The style that I bought this time around are called Doll Me Up which I have been wanting to try for so long, I was going to get them as IMATS last year but they were sold out. Doll Me Up lashes are inspired by doll like eyes. The designs of these lashes follow a long short pattern. I love the design of these lashes there so flirty! At first the lashes were not comfortable because they were a bit to big for my eyes but that was simply solved my cutting a bit off the end of the lashes. Then they become more comfortable. It's recommend with these lashes no to apply mascara to them and they can also be worn up to 25 or more times with taking good care of them. In the photos below are the lashes and how they looked before I cut them to fit better.

 

 

 

 

Price

Velour lashes can go from $29.99 to $49.99

 Doll Me Up Velour Lashes

$29.99

 

 

 

Overall

*Mink lashes, cruelty free with no harm being done to the animals a 

*100% sterilized mink lashes

 *Can be worn up to 25 times

 *The design of these lashes follows a long short pattern

 *Become more comfortable for my eyes once I cut a bit off the end of lashes
