You read that right. I have gone mad and I blame it on pretty lipstick. It's one extreme to the other. Weeks after telling you I've joined the dark side, i.e. declaring my love for dark lipstick, I have another confession to make - yes, already! By the time I'd gotten used to the look of a 'vampy' lip, an exciting package delivery from vegan & cruelty free makeup brand Lime Crime arrived. Inside were 3 of their opaque lipsticks. While my friend's picks were a classic red and the daring black Styletto, I chose Centrifuchsia, a crazy colour I would've avoided determinedly not long ago.
Before we get to the actual product, let's just have a look at the packaging. Lime Crime lipsticks come in this girly, lilac packaging with a unicorn printed on it. A unicorn. Just, awesome. It's even got the disco ball thing-y going on. If this were a video, I could probably go on and on about it, but I'll just stop myself before I get carried away. Besides its pretty design, the packaging is strong. It closes with a click mechanism, so no need to worry about getting pink lipstick all over your bag.
Centrifuchsia is a bright fuchsia pink. Very bright, as you can see from the swatches below. The lipstick is highly pigmented and applies wonderfully. You'll achieve an even layer with just one coat. A lip brush is almost unnecessary; actually, I don't think I've used one to apply this before.
The lipstick has a gorgeous finish. It doesn't feel drying at all, but I'd recommend prepping the lips before applying because Centrifuchsia leaves one hell of a stain (and scrubbing to get the last bits of product off isn't very gentle on the lips). I'd say its lasting power is about 3 hours after drinks or meals, but either way it fades beautifully. Centrifuchsia might even last longer than soms of my matte lipsticks, when it's usually the other way around.
Have you heard of the brand Lime Crime?
