Limecrime for Xmas

Limecrime for Xmas

Limecriem Makeup is for everyone

 

If you have read this blog before you know that I am a BIG fan of Limecrime makeup and that most of the pictures that we run show the amazing looks you can create with the bold brand of Limecrime Makeup. 

Most of the looks we post are not for the shy types...so I was really delighted when I saw these pictures from Doe Deere's blog showing her in a very demur look using Limecrime.  This look could be worn by anyone from ages 13 to 75!  So if you have looked at Limecrimes makeup and thoguth you would love to buy some of it but hesitated because you don't think you could wear it.......................think again!

See what Cassie has to say about Limecrime and see what she has created!

Cassie also has a great blog that is well worth subscribing too and letting all your friends know about her tutorials. Cassie is one of the most watched You Tube Beauty Gurus' in Australia and she is really charming,..so check her out and tell me what you think.

Australian Launch of New Limecrime Colours late March!

If you think lipstick should only come in reds and browns, stop right here and think again. Lime Crime’s Pop Romance collection is for the bravest of trend-setters aiming to stand out — all the while remaining as cute as a button.
3 revolutionaryshades — paled-out nude, banana yellow and pastel mint — come in a 100% vegan formula and speak volumes of the wearer before she even opens her mouth. Coquette loves to mix feminine with edgy and can’t live a day without smoky eye, New Yolk City is a fearless experimental fashionista, and Mint To Be is for the cooky side in all of us.
Here at Lime Crime we like to speak our mind. Pop Romance is your lips, uncensored

Doe Deere from Limecrime Makeup dyes her hair

Doe Deere has gone from a redhead to a blonde and now to this brilliant blue.

What do you think of the colour, I actually loved her as a redhead and she also looked good as a blonde..but I have to say the blue is cute.  I once went purple but that was as a 14 year old that played with mothers Magic Silver White and got carried away...that ended up with me being grounded for a few weeks.....oh well..growing up can be fun.

Have you ever dyed your hair any strange colours?  What was the reaction of others when they noticed?  Good or not so good?

 

Here she is a redhead

 And here a blonde..I think she looks amazing with any colour hair!

Limecrime Eye Primer coming soon!

I am so excited to relay this message from Limecrime Makeup.  We will carry this line of product and we cannot wait!

It all started with a stranger’s complaint about a product we didn’t even have. A girl on a beauty forum was lamenting that eyelid primers didn’t work on her. I couldn’t exactly disagree - my experience with primers has been spotty at best. The idea was great – create a product that will keep eyeshadow bright and crease-free all day – yet I can’t count the times when I’d spend upwards $20 on something that simply didn’t do what I needed it to. Even ‘the best of the best’ lasted only a few hours before giving in to my lids’ natural oils and created those pesky crease lines.

What is an Eyeshadow Primer and what is it supposed to do?

Eyelid Primer’s primary function is to keep your eyeshadow from creasing. What’s the point in doing all this beautiful makeup when it’s going to be ruined a few hours down the road? Primers are supposed to keep your eyeshadow in place and keep the color from fading throughout the day. And so I set out to make the Next Generation Eyeshadow Primer.

Candy Eyed Eyeshadow Helper took 6 months to develop – we’ve been at it since February going back and forth, tweaking the formula and sometimes starting over from scratch. The results were well worth the pain – we finally have a primer that works even if you live in a hot climate or have oily eyelids.

So what’s the secret?

Eyeshadow Helper was designed specifically for wear with bright eyeshadows. It’s stickier than most primers you’ll meet, which allows it to grab on to eyeshadow particles, intensifying color to the max to fade-free results. It serves as a barrier between your skin and eyeshadow which keeps oils at bay. It’s moisture-resistant so you can run, sweat, even SWIM with full assurance your eyeshadow will stay put! Our lab says it’s so potent, you will need waterproof makeup remover just to get it off! (Seriously, I have video of water being sprayed in my face and my eyeshadow never budging!)

Packaging. Most primers come in a gloss-type container with a wand. This doesn’t make sense for 2 reasons: first, primer should never be applied with a wand – doing so will put too much product on your lids and actually promote creasing. Eyeshadow Helper comes in a cream form that is easy to spread in a thin film with your finger-tip – the best way to apply a primer. Second, wand containers are wasteful because you can never get the rest of it out. Eyeshadow Helper comes in a round jar that you can enjoy till the very last drop! The formula is weightless, fragrance-free and, of course, never tested on animals. :) This product does contain beeswax so unfortunately it’s not vegan.

 

It will be available around the middle of the month from our store!
