My Lime Crime makeup arrived quite recently. I’ve only just got around to doing this review! It’s safe to say I’ve been really busy. 
I bought four colours by Lime Crime; No She Didn’t, Cosmopop, D’Lilac and Countessa Flourescent.
Packaging
I would like to start by saying that I’ve heard a few people saying that the tail and hooves of the unicorn don’t match up when aligned correctly. 2 of mine do, and 2 of mine don’t…Pretty weird! It doesn’t bother me or anything, but it’s something to note. I do like the packaging – when I first saw it, I didn’t. But I am always losing things in my bag, and I like that the lipsticks are easy to find because of the unique packaging. They were more of a “learn to love” thing for me. That said, they are definitely very unique. 
Sure, the shape of the tubes are similar to that of other brands, but there are only so many shapes for a lipstick tube you can have! Consider that. :p
Product
The first thing I noticed upon swatching these lipsticks is that they are very soft indeed. To the point where even if you are incredibly careful, they will still break. Having only swatched all of them for the first time, the tubes were messy and the lipsticks themselves no longer had the new finish to them, having pressed against the sides of the tubes. The only one that hasn’t done this is No She Didn’t, which is just fine. No problems with that one at all.
I do love the way the lipsticks smell, though. They aren’t flavoured, which is great. I really don’t like flavoured lip products because I only want to taste what goes in my mouth, not what goes on it! The smell is pleasant and subtle, which is great. No issues there!
Lastly, I want to say that for me, I did find that they were reasonably opaque in one streak. Well, they would have been if they didn’t break when I tried to apply them. The let down with regards to their colour is that they don’t seem to stay on. One night when I was out, a friend of mine, who never usually notices makeup, pointed out that my D’Lilac had come off as I took one puff of my cigarette (even though I’d applied some just before sparking up). I had problems with it coming off all evening, which was irritating. I would also like to say that the colours do stain your lips to an extent. Countessa Flourescent stains the worst and will noticeably stain your lips in seconds.
I have to say that I do love how pigmented these lipsticks are. I also adore the colours…I love bright colours, as well as pastels. Awesome.
