Lime Crime Utopia Swatch & Review

So I decided to jump into the indie scene! I am really in love with lip creams, which are a cross of a matte lipstick and a lipgloss. They are liquid to a matte finish and the bottles are shaped like lipgloss. I decided to purchase Lime Crime Utopia from DollsKill (You may also find Lime Crime at NastyGal and ModCloth)

At time of writing, Authentic Lime Crime Utopia have similar stickers on both product and product packaging.

Now to swatch!

lets get closer!

Pros – now I really like the packaging and the shade. Lime Crime alludes to unicorns, and girly pretty stuff. And the shade is gorgeous! plus is 100% vegan. How would I describe the shade? hmm, “Vibrant Orchid”? The shade is good for up to 6 hours, you will need to reapply after a heavy meal but it survives light sipping of coffee & tea.

Cons – very expensive for what you get. The size of a Lime Crime Velvetine is 0.11 oz for $20. If you want a reference for comparison, you can get an NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream (VERY SIMILAR product albeit the shades are completely different) at 0.27 fl oz for $6 (almost triple the amount of product for 1/4 of the price). Drugstore-brand aside, a similar product is the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick which is $19 for .22 fl oz (literately double the size). You can find Kat Von D at Sephora. If you’re not price-conscious, this probably isn’t a big deal for you. If you’re on a budget, unless you absolutely covet a certain shade, give NYX a try, and if NYX is not good enough, then give the Kat Von D a try 🙂

I’m a warm tanned skin girl, so if you kinda look like me, this is how it might look like on you:

I’m Christian (Catholic) but I work as an Actress and I get cast for all sorts of ethnicities and races (Hispanic, Middle-Eastern [Mostly Arabic], Indian, Mixed [Caucasian & African American], Native American, etc). Sometimes hair can make a difference in a finished look. This is what it looks like if I wore a hijab:
