I must say that I am yet again pleased by the service and products of Lime Crime Makeup. After ordering from the brand new Lip Noir series that was released on September 1st, I had a pretty pink package waiting at my door for me today. You've probably noticed in the past that I've posted about the other Lime Crime lippies I love: Coquette and D'Lilac.


When Doe Deere and the Lime Crime team announced the line, I was extra excited for Chinchilla (a lavender grey) and the Glamour 101 (a deep red). I decided to be "practical" and order the Glamour 101. Yes, yes, I know that I also own lilac-colored lipstick. I'm not one to be practical per se, but I knew that I wanted a deep red for autumn.

Okay, let me clarify, too, that I really like this lipstick. I've been wearing it since I made the video and it has great staying power. My lips feel moisturized and soft and I'm didn't even prep them with primer! With all of those goodies, though, I am still a little disappointed in the color. I wanted it to be a deeper wine red, whereas it's closer to a cherry (and very close to my $1 Posh by E.L.F.). I'm going to be keeping it, though, because I do enjoy its texture and shine much more than the E.L.F. red. And heck, I don't want to be that person who's all butthurt about the red not being just a tinge darker. It really is beautiful!

Pros: great pigment, excellent texture, fast shipping, outstanding customer service, vegan, not testing on animals
Cons: price is a little steep ($16) for a red that I don't consider to be the end-all be-all (but that's my opinion! It's still very pretty!), The fuchsia packaging — I really wish they would have done something special for the tubes this round (maybe black or red to make them stand out from my other Lime Crime lipsticks?).

I still definitely recommend this if you're not already sitting on a red that you adore. It's a great makeup staple and I really am pleased to find a company that has such fun colors for a nice price and that are also animal-friendly. Next on my wish list? Chinchilla, of course! Pick your lippes up on Lime Crime's website. Hurry, the Lip Noir line is limited edition!
