Review and Swatches-Lime Crime Eyeliners


Hey everyone! This is my first official makeup post! Feel free to ask any questions in the comment section :) 
If I'm doing ANYTHING wrong, let me know!!

So You can purchase these eyeliners from www.limecrime.com , or on amazon which will save you more money considering the shipping is cheaper if you want to buy one of them. (LC shipping is $5.99 and free over orders $50+) 

I own 4 out of 8 colors and I've had them for almost a month now so I think I can get a pretty solid review.
The packaging for me is a 10/10 because it's so cute, and they recently changed it to this b/w to make the liner color pop.
Brush quality 8.5/10 I have heard that the brushes have frayed on these fast, but that's not the case for me. Why I rated it a 8.5 is because of the thickness of the brush so you can't get a good, thin line due to the thick bristles. They are extremely soft,though.

Staying power 10/10 they last all day for me and my eyes tend to water ALOT throughout the day. 

Next, the swatches.
"Blue Milk"
My favorite,It appears so pale and unvivid in pictures in the bottle, but once you apply it, it oxidizes and is the perfect neon bright cyan blue that I love. This is my all time favorite and I planned to only purchase this one and Citruese  from the collection.
Excuse my makeup on my eyelash, but this is it with no primer, no mascara on, just plain liner. I kinda did the cat eye a little wobbly, though. 1000/10 for pigmentation.

"Citreuse"
Another one of my faves, a vibrant, neon green.
Btw, these remove so easily and they don't tug on eyes at all. They remove flawlessly with just water.

"Lunar Sea"
Described as a 'opaque white'
I got a little in my eye in this photo, sorry if it looks funny!


"Orchidaceous"
This one has a strong, gold shimmer.
The shimmer doesn't show up on the eyes or in pictures, though.


These eyeliners are $14.00 USD and I paid $1 shipping on an amazon seller by the name of "Dusk to Dawn beauty LLC" they have the fastest shipping. Love them. If your gonna order these on amazon ,order them from that seller.

Thank you for tuning in on my first blog! See ya next week!

Intro to my Blog!!


Hello Everyone!!


Due to boredom in the Summer, I decided to start a blog! I will probably post about once a week/every 2 weeks. I'm still getting used to this blog thing, but i wanted to check it out! I will be doing blogs about dupes, new beauty products, etc!! I planned a schedule convenient for me to post so I won't be a ghost blogger! I will try to make a blog about a 'dupe' for a beauty product every month!!

6/20: Swatches & Review-Lime Crime Eyeliners
7/2: Trendi Tops™ Nail polish swatches!
7/5: Product Review-(Too Faced or Essence, depending on my mood)
7/11:Free Slurpee Day+High end vs. Drugstore Product
7/18:Product Review-Urban Decay

Every month I will attempt to do a Swatch & Review thing either with a brand or a certain product. I also wanted to do a "Does This Thing Work?"/Is it worth the Hype? thing  because I thought it would be cool to share if a certain product has a lasting time  or 'No Flake' policy like it claims. I really wanted to do a review & swatches of a certain brand in I have alot of products. I also wanted to do a either Highend vs Highend product or Drugstore vs Drugstore or Drugstore vs. Highend because i've seen alot of similar drugstore & highend products like the balm stains or the cushion foundations. I will also be doing first impressions, Hauls, and possibly a blog about piercings because i'm thinking about getting my nose pierced.
 
                         Excuse my long, boring, blog!! I will try to make these better!!
                                                   xoxo, Phoebe
