Back on the Hunt Du Jour 6.7.09

Back on the hunt for the perfect purple. I like this but not what I am looking for. This is a random brand that a reader had suggested to me, it's called Lime Crime, and the color is Empress. Very pretty, pigmented, shimmery purple. I feel it is very easy to get a pretty pigmented shimmer but so much harder to find a quality densely pigmented matte. Agree?




Very pretty purple and hunter green. Will be great mixed with mixing medium and used as liner or as lid colors. Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

  4. I got Vixen from Lime Crime...It is more of a matte purple. I can do a swatch if you want. Lime Crime is really nice though...I know how hard it is to find that perfect shade....

    Lime Crime is superb but not for everyone, that's true!

  10. The green one looks kinda like Mac's Club e/s from the pic?? They're both pretty and look insanely pigmented. Would make beautiful liners!

  13. I do agree that a matte purple is hard to find. The only brands I can think of that truly do mattes well are Illamasqua and Make Up For Ever

  15. I've heard so much about Lime Crime! I almost bought some loose eyeshadow off of the site and I've heard the pigmentation is amazing!!!! The green loose eyeshadow looks like Club e/s from MAC. Can you do swatch of both of them together?

  16. Fab- They are nothing alike, CLub has a reddish brown base, the green is PURE green! I will swatch them for you though!

  17. tina- yes they are very pigmented and DEF a night time look, possibly to use as a sheer wash for the daytime!
