Lime Crime Lips

This is gonna be fun. *gg*

As you probably saw on my Birthday haul, I bought two new Lime Crime lipsticks. Now it's time to show you all the shades I own, not too many unfortunately, but of course the craziest. :-)

First some pictures of the packaging which is genius and all the colours beside each other:



New Yolk City, Mint To Be, No She Didn't, Styletto





Now to the fun part, of course I had to apply them. Here we go:

New Yolk City


This one wasn't easy to work with. Although the lipsticks are amazingly pigmented, they are softer than most, so you have to be careful. The lighter shades are always tricky to work with. Especially, with my pigmented lips, but in the end it worked quite well.



Mint To Be:


My absolute favorite!! Such a fun colour. :-)



No She Didn't:


Another genius one



Styletto - This was tricky as well. After each colour, I used them in the order you see them, I had to cancel out my lip colour with concealer. Unfortunately with black it ended up looking like a dark blue rather than a black:



I tried it without covering my lips and it worked!


Not perfectly applied, but you see that it normally is pitch-black.. Pretty, right??


To see how well pigmented they are, here are my lips. Quite some coverage needed:


Amazing, right?

There is also a shout out: Without those two this wouldn't have worked so well:


So what do you think? I absolutely love them!

I ordered them from Shining Cosmetics for 13,95€ each. About the same price you would have to pay if you ordered from the Lime Crime website.

Birthday Haul

On wednesday was my 25th birthday and it was quite a nice day. It had a few hickups, but I'm gonna do a post about that later.

Since I'm not 12 anymore the gift giving policy changed a bit and knowing that nobody from my family and close friends would buy my anything even remotely related to beauty I bought something for myself. lol

I ordered several products from Shining Cosmetics, my favorite online shop. I love that store, the prices are more than fair, the shipping rate is okay and the variety of products is amazing.


Here's what I got: 


Three polishes from the new China Glaze "Summer Neons" collection.

Sun-Kissed


Orange You Hot


I'm With The Lifeguard


The palette and blush from the new Sleek 2012 collection.


..new packaging - what do you think?


Glory



Honour


aaand two new Lime Crime lipsticks, of course in weird colours!! I love their packaging..





Mint To Be


New Yolk City


Swatches of all the products will come in the next couple of days.

All in all, I'm more than happy with my present for me. *gg*

Love,
Guinevere
