Lime Crime swatches and review

So I just received a package in the mail a little while ago that made me quite happy. First of all let me say that I've read up a lot on this company and I was a little hesitant to purchase anything but I really wanted to try out the gloss and lip shades so I said screw it. I figure people all make mistakes and deserve a second chance. Anyway, as long as I'm pleased with the product and am treated well, I'll be a happy person.

So first off the shipping was awesome, I got it one week from when I ordered and I live in Canada. unfortunately two of the lippies arrived broken so I e-mailed Lime Crime with pictures. They responded the same day and within a week I received new ones to replace the broken ones. So despite some of the negative stories about their customer service, I was extremely pleased.

So! On to the makeup! What did I get??

Well the package that arrives in the mail is this cute little purple box with the Lime Crime unicorn logo as well as a little quote from Doe Deere the founder of Lime Crime.

Inside wrapped in purple tissue was a holographic unicorn sticker, the Carrousel lip gloss collection, the China Doll Palette with a sample of the eyeshadow helper, and 8 opaque lip shades (Coquette, Airborne Unicorn, Retrofuturist, Glamour 101, Great Pink Planet, My Beautiful Rocket, Chinchilla, and Cosmopop)

The pressed eyeshadows are of really good quality and come in a cute purple tin that I can keep when I finish the colors off. They go on very smooth and and blend well. I'm also very impressed with the eyeshadow helper sample that came with it. It really does have great staying power and intensifies the colors.

Which color do you like best??

So far I'd have to say Coquette and Airborne Unicorn. I've haven't really been known to wear lipstick that often, but I was really attracted to the fun colors and wanted to have some lippies in my collection. I hope the pictures can help others decide on what colors they may want to buy.

On another note I have more lime Crime on the way. I awaiting the Palette d'Antoinette and the gel liner collection. YAY! And I want to get the blue and green and yellow lippies when they're back in stock.
