I have a confession to make: I’m madly in love. With lipstick.
In the past days, there hasn’t been a lipstick that I didn’t want to buy, own, hold close to my heart – or at least my makeup case. I never thought that a simple stick of color can make me feel so glamorous, so feminine, so confident! I’m not the only one, am I?!
This lip craze got so bad that I began dreaming up my own lipstick line. Fantasies of cool neon pinks, rich violets, and succulent reds won’t leave my mind. In addition to my ideas, I’d love to know what you think too!
Deerlings:
- What colors would you like to see Lime Crime carry?
- What textures do you prefer: matte, creamy, or sheer?
- What is the best-smelling lipstick? Is there a brand whose smell you can’t stand?
I’d love to see a color like the coral that you wear a lot, and a luscious deep red of course. I like creamy glosses better, so something sheer and light, but moisturizing would be great. Or maybe just make lipstick and glosses
I’d also love to see your line expand into other makeup. Maybe Solid shadows, eye liners, etc.
This is probably my favorite lip product at the moment. Burt’s Bees lip gloss in zesty red.

I love the smell of Este Lauder lipstick, it smells like roses.
I prefer colors like a slightly darker cherry red, or a nice nude in gloss or matte, I find if a lipstick is to creamy, it shifts around on my lips and smudges.
I too am a devoted lipstick fan. I’m a personal fan of matte shades. I don’t think lipstick and glitter can mesh well. Then again, I usually have more natural/vintage makeup styles.
I love reds (who doesn’t) and pinky-nudes the most.
It’d be so amazing if you made a line! Then again, I’m not sure you’d cater to the more natural makeup wearers. I know you like bright colors, but maybe in the lipstick area there could be a few more toned down colors? :)
I must admit that as much as I love chocolate, I strongly dislike the taste of every chocolate flavored lipstick I’ve tried here in Chicago. I would absolutely love to see a peppermint lipstick, one that not only smells like mint but will also taste of strong peppermint goodness.
I think a sheer red lipstick that gives you that lollypop/popsicle lips look would be nice.
Sometimes full lipstick is too much for school/work or everyday.
Oh! And Fuchsia pink! =)
A rich, matte fuschia…shine & shimmer could be added with a gloss, which you should make too :)
I think for Lime Crime lipsticks, they’d HAVE to be bright, vivid colors. Crazy colors like the ones you wear, that people think are too wild at first glance, but look awesome when you see them in action! Red, pinks, purple, coral, orange.. and then maybe even some more taboo colors! Ooh, and maybe matching glosses?
There’s a brand in Australia called Chi Chi and their lipsticks smelly really good I think it’s because they have alot of natural ingredients and only 1 or 2 artifical ones. I’m a big fan of creamy and matte lipsticks and in colours like hot pink, violet blue, creamy orange and birght red. Manily the colours that are hard or expensive to buy.
Estee Lauder lipsticks smell gorgeous: like berries, almost.
I like lip stains, and colour stays. Glossy or matte, it doesn’t matter as long as the colour’s good and I don’t have to reapply! Though I hate pearly and frosted tones. (I like dark berry shades. Gothy, but not black, of course!)
Actually, I mix a tiny bit of LC Crystal Ball powder with a pink-toned gloss I have, and it gives the lovliest blue sheen when the light hits it! I think I’m using it more on my lips than my eyelids now!
Uh, I never had the money to buy anything from MAC, so I don’t know how their lipsticks smell but sounds good! Haahahah!
Well, I have a lipstick that smells a little like watermelon and I like it a lot!
I like deep and bright red… and I’d like a very dark red too! – Actually, I can only think of red ’cause I only use red lipstick.
I think it would be interesting to see something lilac. Would it be strange? I imagine it’d be cool…. a little bit pink, a little bit purple… pretty enigmatic! XD
I think a deep or/and bright orange color would be really cool! *-*
I like the idea of Some really bright neon like hues, and some subtle, pale, natural pinks…
Oh! About texture, I like creamy better.
I’d want to see a vibrant red with like a gold frost to it. (For those of us who have an issue with patting eyeshadow on our lips. :[ )
And I’ve always wanted to try a really nude lip where it’s practically like having foundation on your lips, except glossier/shinier.
I think creamy texture is good with a soft gloss to it. And you should definitely include frosted ones!
I think you should try some interesting color combination with frosted colors like a red with pink shimmer or some iridescent colors. Oh, and metallics!
I don’t actually care much for smell as long as it’s not TOO strong or obnoxious because usually what ends up happening is my hair smells like something, my skin smells like something, my clothes smell like something, and soon I smell overwhelming and it’s horrible!
No-fragrance is okay too.
As far as Drugstore lines Revlon’s Moon Drops Lipstick has great Color Pay-off but the smell is terrible. Your Lipstick Smell could be signature like MAC’s so whatever fruit or scent you think best represents your line?
As for colors personally my tastes run to nudes, corals and reds. I would like a sturdy lipstick that layers well. I think that long-wear lipsticks are useful but I prefer lipsticks that don’t claim that staying power. Touch ups aren’t a hassle to me, rather they are a nice chance for me to excuse my self and process while doing re-touching my face.

I would love to see limecrime with a hot creamy pink and a creamy fleshtoned toned shade with a little bit of shimmer
I’ve recently discovered my intense love for lipstick :D NYX had a sale recently and I bought a lot of thirty of their lipsticks hahah. Not all of them worked for me, but they had quite a few gorgeous reds so I’m pretty happy. :P I don’t care too much about texture usually, but my eyes are always drawn towards mattes. My lips are pretty pigmented naturally, so sheers don’t work too well on me. I’m now on the lookout for the perfect nude lipstick!
As for smells, I generally don’t like things that smell like food. I mean, I do like the smells themselves, I just don’t like it when I put something on my lips (or hair or body or anything, actually) and it smells delicious and tastes…not good. hahahaha. My friend’s signature body lotion smells like apples and whenever I hang out with her I get cravings.
Hi,
I like the idea of deep reds and deep purples.
All lipstick “stinks” to me unless you put some kind of berry-smellin’ gloss over it.
I like the idea of matte lipstrck, but creme runs a close 2nd.

I love cute bright pink lipsticks that look all girly but not too coral colored. I dont like the make-up smell most lipsticks have I think I like fruit smells for lipsticks best.
haha I’ve actually never paid any attention to the smell of my lipsticks. My favourite lipstick so far has been sinner red by rimmel it actually comes in a little paint pot. It makes my pout just pop. I have always had an obsession with wearing a deep purply colour like revlons black cherry. Lipstick is the one type of makeup that I would be willing to try in any colour.
I love lipstick, too!
Personally, I would love to see unusual colors in Lime Crime. You know, shades of green, blue, yellow, etc. Reds and pinks and purples are always great, but I feel like there are enough of those out there to choose from. I always have a hard time finding good quality unusual colors for makeup, and that’s part of the reason why I love Lime Crime’s eyeshadows. They’re colors that M.A.C. doesn’t even have.
I’m not a big fan of sheer, but creamy and matte are both good to me. I feel like it’s not worth it to wear a sheer color when I can just wear a bright, opaque, bold color.
I really love the smell of Loreal and M.A.C. lipstick, I don’t know why. They just have this rich smell that other brands don’t have. I can’t think any that are too terrible, except generic halloween makeup.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE A LIPSTICK LINE THAT CAN GO WITH SOME OF UR EYE SHADOWS, ME..I AM A DEEP RED LIPSTICK KINDA GIRL, MATTE. I AM NOT A FAN OF PASTEL COLORS FOR LIPSTICK, I THINK THAT IS FOR OLD WOMEN IN THEIR 60′S OR SOMETHING.
AS FAR S SMELL I LOVE WHEN A LIPSTICK I OPEN HAS A GOOD SMELL,MMMMMM…BUT I DO HATE VANILLA OR ANYTHING MUSK
AND EVEN CINNAMON …..BUT DEEP REDS AND DEEP PURPLE’S WOULD BE GREAT, OO AND EVEN A LIME GREEN ONE, LOL
Hrmmm ever since I saw a picture of Karen Elson in blue lipstick (I think it was in a book by Kevyn Aucoin) I have been on a mission to find a good quality blue… or maybe a deep plum.
as for smells…as long as it doesn’t smell like paint or taste terrible idc.
I would love to see some unusual matte colors like greens, blues, and purples. Shiney lips are a thing of the past in my book ;^P
As for smells, I don’t usually pay much attention to what a lipstick smells like, but I couldn’t help but love how my MAC matte lipsticks smells!
Creamy reds! I heart them.
I have to agree with sam. I love the idea of bright matte lips in unique colours like orange purple, blue green yellow and awsome reds.
weel i think there is not blue lipstick out there!!! soo how about a blue mate lipstick to mix in with other colors as well.. reds dark reds and some violet type of magenta looking!!! i think wen is mate it looks more eyecatching
I have this matte red lipstick from Revlon that I’m pretty much in love with. As for what I’d like to see I think you need a little of everything =]pastels, neon, super dark, matte, creamy, sheer, conventional and non-conventional.
I definitely prefer Matte or Creamy Textured lipsticks that are pretty opaque. I’m personally not a fan of sheer lip color. I’ve been really obsessed with lilac and lavender lipsticks and there not easy to find so I’d definitely like to see those. Red’s and Pinks are also a given. I would really like to see a nice baby pink because I’ve looked everywhere and I honestly cannot find one.
i love the way the american eagle kiss sticks smell- they’re like peaches or something! but i like a lipstick that’s super smooth and moisturizing. yum.
I prefer matte myself. I would LOVE if you could make a color like OPI’s Nice Color Eh?, which is super versatile (I can put on one layer with some gloss over it and it just looks like slightly darker lips, or layer it up and it looks great, it stays ages) – it’s, to the best of my describing abilities, sort of a dark pinkish-berry sort of color. I dunno what I’m going to do when my tube runs out. :( A pink like the color you’re fond of in photoshoots would be great too.
I LOVE sheer reds and deep pinks. I also love matte light pinks (I know it sounds strange, but it gives this amazing sort of Barbie look in the best way).
Also, a sort of sheer gold would be great, or a pink with gold shimmer.
Berry pinks are the best, especially sheer. A purple-based pink would be lovely.
Also, I think you should have some matte fantasy colors: true blue, royal purple, coral, orange.
I don’t care too much about the smell, just as long as it goes on smooth. Nothing worse than overly waxy lipsticks.
Quite excited to see them come out!
I would love to see a variety of reds in your line. As I have the hardest time getting the right red and I have to visit almost every counter just to find what I’m looking for because each line has about 3 shades of red at the most. So many mauves, browns and purples. The vibrants too! :)
The best smell, I love victoria’s Secret lip glosses out right now, I can eat them, as there are so many different flavors of smell.
i love matte. i never see matte lipsticks anymore! they just feel so classic and look so interesting to me!
if you made a matte lipstick line i would doubtlessly purchase it.
i love light pinks, peaches, and the quintessential RED of course!
I love bold lips. Bright and dark, as long as its not pale or pastel. I love hot pink, deep burgandy, anything that makes a statement. Some sparkle is nice, but shine is important to me. Matte drys out my lips, and usually I am too lazy to put gloss ontop, although I think a matte is a great look. Lipglosses would be great too.
I love the smell of Mac lipsticks.
Matte color is my favorite, and honestly I think that would work best for the vibrant colors you’d create. I’m excited for your pinks/violets!
I like red when it’s creamy enough so that it doesn’t look flat but not glossy.
Personally I don’t really like lipstick (everyone would probably gasp and shun me :p)but I am a major lipgloss and chapstick girl!!!
Heck I practically worship burts bees! It’s just something about mint!!
I think I would so get into lipstick if you made a line!!
Can’t wait to see the colors!
Avon Plump Pout Lip Gloss in Nude. It tingles your lips when you wear it and doesn’t fade off or lose moisture.
MAC lipstick smells delicious!
What almost always inspires me to be more fabulous:
YOU!
I love 50s pinup red with creamy texture. The one that’s red with a hint of orange but not too much. Other colours that I would like to see for Lime Crime are hot pink, purple with pink sheen, orange and peachy pink.
Creamy lipsticks are the best. They are the most flattering type for most people.
I hate the smell of L’Oreal lipsticks. They smell waxy. Also Rimmel lippies’ smell is one the horrid side. I love the smell of Fyrinnae lippies.
I could eat MAC’s lippies, they smell sooo yummy!
color wise and finish wise…I am too much of a lippie whore to settle on just a few. However, I do think every line should have a nice, classic, real and vampy red!
I’d like to see some blues and purples. And I’d like to see a true red and pink.
I like matte and creamy lipsticks. Sheers are nice too. I like ‘em all. But I’d like to own some more mattes.
The best smelling lipsticks/lip products are the Bonne Bell Liplites. That Vanilla Swirl one smells sooo good.
I ould pay a million dollars for a good COOL pink lipstick! Anything with a vanillay or chocolatey smell is lovely! The fruity smells I really don’t like (save that for chapstick!)
I definitely like creamy lipsticks, sheers I don’t even bother with (unless it’s a nice red when I’m not feeling fantastically bold) because my lips are already very pigmented! Mattes are pretty too but I always end up putting gloss on them.
Oh mannn.. I KNOW how you feel. I never even liked lipstick before, because it always reminded me of my grandma, and the few I owned felt greasy/chunky, and gross…. Until I bought “Show Orchid” from MAC the other day… WOW, I LOVE IT. Gimme hot pink anytime!
Personally, I love true, deep reds, berry/plum hues and corals. I prefer matte textures, since they last longer. They are also the only kind I can use for performing.
I like lipstick with a tiny bit of glitter or shimmer. ^_^
Looking forward to seeing your line!
I would love to see you do an orange-gold lipstick, Doe! As for creme, matte, or sheer, I can’t say I really know the difference. I look forward to seeing lip color from you!
I think you’d be able to make a really nice rose and peach coloured lipstick. I think a clear but super-sparkly top coat would be an awesome lippy idea too!
–xo.
I love (!) lipstick too. I think it even gets to be a fetish at this point, I’m sorry to say. I love all stranger colors. Unfortunately the only one that does this to a larger extent is manic panic.
A nice 1920s red without being too goth. A sheer plum color, and maybe a nice matte rose color. I loove the smell of mac lipstick… I generally prefer strong colors so I can stain my lips with them and layer them easily. I hate glitter in lipstick though, I might add it myself later but there’s nothing worse than a lipstick that the only thing that lasts is some ugly color of lipstick. I have been looking for a nice glossy plum color but they are all either too strong and make me look goth or they have glitter and no pigmentation grr…
<3s and I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

I like a good creamy lippy, and one that doesn’t dry out quickly because that is not so fun at the end of the day (or in the middle of it!)
I like a lippy with good pigmentation, nothing too glittery, and as long as it doesn’t smell like the makeup case from high school I’m happy with that!
