LIME CRIME PT.1. + China Doll palette review + swatches

Purchase HERE

So, Lime Crime make-up contacted me few weeks ago and gave me the opportunity to receive some of their products. I received this package the day before yesterday and just wanted to share with you my opinion on their make-up. So here it is :)

This is the package it came in

I didn't have a paper knife so I just ripped the shit out of this box :D

5 products: China Doll eyeshadow palette, Carousel gloss, 2 lipsticks, 1 Sample eye primer

A very shiny sticker

Ok, the first thing I must say - I just love this primer! It is very creamy and soft. The consistency is great - not as sheer as UD classic primer potion - not as thick asother lip and eye primers..it's right in between. As I don't own the famous Too Faced eye insurance, but I tested a sample of it about a half a year ago, and I can say - this remined me of it.

and this is their China Doll palette, at first - it reminds me of those preschool watercolor palettes.. I don't know, maybe because of the metallic case

they're in... or the colors..

This is just with one sweep, no base.

With their Lime Crime base, swatches with names. Amazing color payoff. They are so pigmented!

Jade-o-Lade : Deep moss green; teal-ish green. Matt finish, tiny sparkle flex (very very tiny)

Goldfish : True gold . Shimmer, satin finish with sparkle flex

Parasol : Baby blue. Matt finish, tiny sparkle flex (very very tiny)

Fly dragon fly : True red. Matt , with satin-y finish. Tiny sparkle flex (very very tiny)

Lotus noir (looks gray in the picture, just because of the flashlight) : True black. Matt finish,tiny sparkle flex (very very tiny)

Longetivity - amazing. The waterproof base makes them almost indestructable..maybe even a bit tooo hard-to-get of :D . 5/5

Blendability - As you will see in my further post, as i created a look with this. Every shadow blends amazing, but I had a bit struggle with Lotus noir. 4/5

Packaging - Well, the design of the packaging - it's a matter of taste. As I said, it remined me of those old watercolor palettes that I had in the kindergarten, so I had a positive feeling about this. 4/5

Price/Value - I checked , in the website it says - 34.99$ for 5 eyeshadows(1.3 gr each) , so that sums up for 7$ for a eyeshadow, which is NOT bad. 5/5

Texture - very creamy, soft, not powdery(Parasol is a bit powdery), quality is amazing. 4/5

I really recommend this palette to anyone who wants a palette of great quality bright eyeshadows!

Sigmax Synthethic Precision kit pt2

Purchase Sigma HERE

This is how the box looks like

Description says:

The Synthetic Precision Kit was developed to mimic your fingertips when applying makeup on your most sensitive and precise areas of your face. This line utilizes the exclusive Sigmax fibers for extreme softness and easy makeup application.

Brushes in this kit:

P80 - Precision Flat The small, dense and flat top is ideal to conceal blemishes, sun spots and small imperfections on the skin. It can be used to stipple concealer on defined areas, followed by precise application of setting powder.

P82 - Precision Round The rounded top was designed to mimic your fingertips, making this brush ideal to apply eye shadow primers. It can also be used for the precise application of highlight shades on the bridge of the nose, cheek bones and cupid's bow.

P84 - Precision Angled The small angled top makes this brush perfect for precise contouring on the sides of the nose and contouring the hollows of the cheek bones. It can also be used to highlight the brow bone.

P86 - Precision Tapered The tapered shape of this brush is ideal for application of concealer under the eyes and on defined areas such as the sides of the nose, chin and around the mouth. This brush can also be used to perfectly apply concealer around the lips to prevent color bleeding.

I am so sorry for them being dirty, because I just tested them, and I was really lazy to clean :D

The thing is that they sent me two Precision Round P82 ones, I don't know if it is a factory packaging malfunction, or something else, but I didn't get to try the Tapered one :(

This is the Precision Round P82

For me the brush is just perfect for applying concealer under eyes, since I usually don't use anything else but my fingers to put on concealer(it's just the best technique for me), this brush really suprised me with it's ability to perfectly mimic the softness and sturdiness of a fingertip.

This is the Precision Flat P80

First, when I saw this brush online, i though - oh great, another small duo fibre.. but it's nothing like it. It's very sturdy and FULL with bristles, very dense and thick. It is perfect for applying thicker correctors on blemishes or do a stippling motion to cover under eye.

This is the Precision Angled P84

It says that it is meant for contouring and highlighting, as it is very easy to manipulate with, ( I mean you can use the different angles of this brush) , and also highlighting, but I suggest - it is better to use cream products with it.

Ok, the price is $49 for all four brushes / $14 each separately - I'd say that it is reasonable.

Overall: Really great brushes! Totally for concealer perfectionists like me, but since they're not as multi-purpose as their other brushes, this is not a must have.

Cons: I really wanted to try the Tapered one, but I just didn't receive it, ah well, I am going to use

the other Rounded one for a future giveaway :D ;)
