New LIME CRIME lippies :)

A good friend of mine was recently selling her 3 Lime Crime lippies and I just had to nab them!
So I now own Airborne Unicorn, Geradium and Babette which you can buy from here.
Babette however is unfortunately sold out, RRP is $18.
There are many sites that you can buy these products from in the UK to save on shipping costs and taxes from America.

Airborne Unicorn is the purple shade – not too light and really pops.
Geradium is very pink! – it’s almost fluorescent, definitely one to use with a dark smokey eye.
Babette is more of a coral toned pink/orange – great to use for summer throughout the day.

The texture of these are extremely creamy and soft and do not dry out your lips. They also have a high pigmentation.

My favourite thing about these is the packaging! It’s so unique, colourful and pretty – this reflects in the other shades that are available. Many drugstores and make up counters in department stores don’t have a huge selection of lipstick colours; just the usual reds, pinks, browns and nudes in different tones and strengths. The UK is screaming out for alternatively coloured make up!

Delayed blog post.. red lippy swatches :)

So so sorry for not posting in a little while. I have been trying to complete my overdue college assignments *_*
I procrastinate so bad when it comes to theory work.. so I’m 3 down 2 to go.
I’ve also been going through my make up stash and decided to swatch some red lipsticks I purchased last month.

So, I bought 5 lipsticks from the W7 red range which were on sale for 50p.. yes, 50p!
They are all very pigmented, have no offensive odour (some cheap lipsticks can smell very chemically) and the texture is lovely. They aren’t slimy or feel greasy on the lip and have a lovely satin sheen.

Each picture has the name of the shade below – this image has no filter and has not been edited apart from being entered into a collage with the text :)
They were taken with the main camera on my iPhone 4s.. the image below is a collage of the same shades in the same order taken with the front camera of my iPhone 4s.

I hope you have all liked this post and have been shown that cheap prices for make up doesn’t necessarily mean a cheap and nasty product!
You can buy these lipsticks from different cosmetics online shops, drugstores and the factory shop (where I bought them)
Here are some links for the time being:
Forever Red
Chestnut
Pillar Box
Ruby Red
Scarlet Fever

I’ve noticed that these lipsticks are available in different packaging from different sites. The original W7 cosmetics website link for these lipsticks is here and originally around £5 each. I’m not sure whether they are updated quite regularly but mine were in a black tube like this:

Love,
