LIMECRIME MAKEUP

So a lil birdy (aka internet livejournal surfing) told me that LC orders her pigments for her shadow line from the TKB. and well... idk what are your opinions? $12 vs. $1.50...
hmmm... decisions...

C: Savin' you girlies some moooooooola.

LC "Circus Girl" = TKB "Lemon Drop" *
LC "Cleopatra" = TKB "Tangerine Pop"
LC "Crystal Ball" = TKB "Starlight Blue" *
LC "Diva" = TKB "Bronzed Gold" *
LC "Dragon Scales" = TKB "Chameleon Fine"
LC "Duchess" = TKB "Indian Blue"
LC "Elf" = TKB "Apple Green" *
LC "Empress" = TKB "Grape Pop" *
LC "Enchant" = TKB "Blackstar Green"
LC "F.airy Wings" = TKB "Sparkle Violet" *
LC "Lime Criminal" = TKB "Losta Lime" * (Also, incidentally, this is a recipe that was made and is available for free on the site, made by a TKB customer)
LC "Medusa" = TKB "Blackstar Blue"
LC "Mermaid" = TKB "Coral Reef Blue"
LC "Mirror Mirror" = TKB "Antique Silver" *
LC "Nymph" = TKB "Starlight Gold" *
LC "Pink Poodle" = TKB "Cloisonne Red" * (Hilariously, in "view additional images" lies a pink poodle)
LC "Sapphire" = TKB "Sapphire"
LC "Primadonna" = TKB "Raspberry Pop" *
LC "Princess Caraboo" = TKB "Emerald Green"
LC "Shoe Addict" = TKB "Blueberry Pop" *
LC "Siren" = TKB "Crucible Red"
LC "Snow Queen" = TKB "Sparkle Turquoise"
LC "Treasure Chest" = TKB "Crucible Khaki"
LC "Twilight" = TKB "Pearl Violet"
LC "Vixen" = TKB "Maganese Violet"

Oh, and apparently the lipsticks are Stargazers. which are $3

LC Cosmopop = SG 123
LC Countessa Flourescent = SG 106
LC D'Lilac = SG 115
LC Great Pink Planet = SG 109
LC My Beautiful Rocket = SG 102
LC No She Didn't = SG 104
LC Retrofuturist = SG 106
LC Styletto = SG 110

I wouldn't be surprised (remember the whole "duct tape to hem a dress" fiasco?). I was never interested in the line solely because her name was attached to it. I was more interested in the Twilight palettes, and I HATE Twilight.

Can you post links? I totally gotta see this shit for myself.

fersure.

lol and I also was directed after clickin' around a bit to the girl who bought the dress, she was contemplating on buying the lipstick, but wasn't sure.
She also posted the dress story.
apparently Xenia, basically said
"I sold a shoddy dress. Someone bought it for $100. Who's the real asshole here"

she really disgusts me. ;-\

I'm kindof excited for Shrinkle's Sugarpill line, she apparently brought in MUFE # 92, and said "REMAKE THIS COLOR".
hoping for a super cheap dupe *fingers crossed*

the dress story and how she acted even after we defended her at one point is why I give not a damn for the woman. pretentious bastard.

I'm sorry, but how does she sleep at night? That's just shitty...

what a bitch. for real. who does that? i trawled around adn read all the articles i could get my hands on. this just pisses me off-especially since i wanted that damn blue lipstick. NO MONIEZ FOR YOU!

Man thats such a shame - like we're all here because we discovered a mutual interest in makeup through her... and it seems like she just doesnt care about her customers/fans at all.

And that is unreal about the glosses and shadows - I totally agree with the girl who wrote a comment about it being mad that she priced her stuff up along with MAC et all. If her shadows were $6-7 then nobody would have said a thing, but $12 is getting a bit steep.
I've just been checking them out on her site and its a bit sneaky that she put "10g sifter jar and contains 0.14 oz net weight". so basically a 10g jar only has 4g of product? sucky!!!!!

lol lil the blue lipstick is probs photoshopped to hell. I'm pretty sure I remember (this is back in the day of goth ava!) that Stargazer did a pretty rad blue lippie. can anybody find any swatches of the LC one? I cant find it anywhere...

lol the only pics of any of her lipsticks are from her, soooo I really don't know how reliable that is.
and I can't find any stargazer lipsticks, sooo that may be out of the questions.

but there's always Illamasqua.

remember her photoshopping the picture of Raquel Reed to make it look as if she was modeling the blue lipstick? hmph!

Agreed!

If the lipsticks are from Stargazer, that sucks
she's gone on on her blog before about how she can never find out of the ordinary lipstick colours that are highly pigmented and blablabla and I don't think Stargazer lipsticks are that great (I've got some UV shadows from them that are shitty) so it's all a shamm

That enraged me!!! Thank god for this forum or I might have bought it. Talk about false advertising.

On youtube a member was posting that this site:

Apparently it is almost the EXACT same formula as limecrime. Some of the colours are verrrrrry similar too.

if anyone's heard of Make Up Store... they do a great purple lipliner, and loads of eyeliners so maybe there'd be similar ones if anyone still wants the LC colours?

Bloody hell, she doesn't call it lime CRIME for nothin huh

nice one, bianca! haha.

whatta bitch!

That's just ridiculous. I don't even have anything to say other than... what the hellll is she thinking!?

OCC is great for bold lippies...if you recall one of my happy posts from a while back they make yellow, orange, purple, and even blue lippies. They're worth a looksee.

UGHHH OCC<3

they're having a 20% off deal atm

want want want

oh my gosh I was looking at the LC colors a few days ago and thinking "wow, that looks a lot like my pigments from TKB!" hahah how weird.

Jesus Christ that's sad and infuriating.

She's thinking "hundreds of girls love me, I can make alot of money out of that!!"

Wow, I feel a bit embarrassed I used to think she was cool now! How has she been up to this sort of thing for so long and she's still even in business? I mean I remember hearing yeeears ago about the ebay shilling etc, and somehow didn't think there was anything shady about her.

Heres a link to lots of other people who have figured out what a jip LC is

She's the one who was unlucky enough to get the dress hemmed with duck tape!!

She talks about it on youtube here

If you compare her colors in each tutorial they don't look the same which screams ohotoshop to me. It was really disappointing when I got mine and they were not at all what she was making them look like.

well, also, aparently they have no like fixers on them, they're just pure pigment (which is why TKB is so cheap) but like beauty from the earth has the fixer things so they at least stick to your lid

Anyone seen the latest LC drama.

She's just a poor a Russian immigrant. Brings a tear to my eye.
