Allo there!
Remember my review on
LimeCrime's "Cosmopop" Opaque Lipstick?
At that point of time, I was looking for an alternative to my (then) HG nude lippie, MAC PeachStock.
Swatches of "Cosmopop" on
LimeCrime and
Temptalia seemed promising,
and
LimeCrime was kind enough to send me a tube for review purposes.
Alas, to my utter disappointment, eventhough I loved pretty much everything (texture, coverage, packaging, etc) about it,
the most important factor - COLOUR - was a TOTAL #FAIL.
Sadly, on SUPER pigmented lips, it turned out a very bright coral (bordering on orange, actually) instead of the touted "
Buttery, softened orange. Think creamsicle!"
It was tragic, I tell you T_T
Maybe LimeCrime heard my heart-wrenching cries all the way in the United States, because et-voile!
The "
Pop Romance - Your lips, uncensored" Collection was born... ^_^
And . I . HAD . MY . HEART . SET . ON . "
Coquette"
- "
Pale, blushed nude. Because extra-pale lips are beautiful!"
So, very, ME!!!
Come hell and high water, I would get my grubby paws on it,
and I did! *Thank you, Erica! {hugs}*
Fun aspects of the lipstick which makes it oh-so-appealing to the young (and young at heart).
PACKAGING
Any lover of MAC Heatherette's packaging will swoon over this.
Did you say, "No"?
OK, what about silver unicorns and stars which makes the tube look carefree, New Age and "hippie"? ^_^
I must admit though, that at the ripe old age of 35, it's just not something I would whip out, without feeling slightly embarrassed, but that's just me being a prude... =_=
EXTRA FUN STUFF
I love the Fable which comes with every LimeCrime lipstick.
In the case of "Coquette", the Fable is:
It was a typical city morning. Citizens grappled for their first cups of coffee, buses sighed and hissed from stop to stop, and pigeons discussed the latest street fashions. Even against this familiar murmur, Becky knew something was different. She opened her eyes, then her window, and from the height of her 8th floor apartment she saw towering mountains of heart-shaped candy boxes piled past her window. “Oh no,” Becky thought, “I guess I shouldn’t have blown so many kisses yesterday!” But that thought quickly faded as she stroked more lipstick over her lips. Soon she was back at her old game, blowing kisses out the window as the ever-increasing piles of candy threatened to topple. Becky wasn’t just flirting with all the boys; she was flirting with danger.
I don't know about you, but it's like, slicking this lipstick would give me a whole new alter-ego! :P
Clark Kent does it in a phone booth;
I just need a LimeCrime lipstick! HA! ^_~
On to the Serious Stuff - the LIPSTICK itself.
