Outtake from photosession with SNOB magazine. Photographer had a Persian cat :D

My dear Deerlings,

It’s been a while since I posted a more personal update, about what’s going on in my life. The last few months have been like a trip to DisneyWorld – you have hard time believing what’s actually happening, let alone documenting it! A week ago my mother was reading a paper on her way to work when she spied a familiar unicorn logo in the beauty section. Turns out, Lime Crime got featured in AM New York, a daily circular with readership of millions! What’s even more astounding (and incredibly humbling) is that my lipstick somehow ended up alongside Dior, MAC and – yes! – Lipstick Queen. Poppy King has been a huge inspiration to me, and it’s simply surreal. I really feel like my hard work is finally starting to pay off!

But wait, there’s more. One of my most favoritest magazines in the entire world, NYLON, recently summoned me into their offices to talk about my lipstick line! I almost died of happiness. Me and the beauty editor had a blast chatting about colorful cosmetics, unicorns, and how companies are afraid to make bright colors because they think they know what’s best for the consumer – and the importance of standing up to that! The interview is scheduled to come out in November and I encourage all of you go out and get a copy! As far as I’m concerned, this is history in the making. :) And if you’re in Russia, there is a luxury – and I mean, LUXURY – magazine called Snob which will have an interview with me as well in the October issue. They didn’t end up using photos with the cat and went with photos of me in New York, but it should be very interesting nonetheless. This interview is the result of my travels to Russia earlier in the year.


More photos from this set available in the Gallery.

I’m so happy you’re all finding my Marie Antoinette tutorial useful! Thank you for all your emails. :D I hope you love the rest of the set as much -  by the way, while posing with cake, I came up with the BEST description for Great Pink Planet lipstick. “Strawberry milkshake”!!! It’s  the same kind of delectable pastel pink that you just want to eat, yum!

Inventory update: lipsticks have been selling like hot pirogis on a winter day – we are almost sold out of the first shipment! I can’t believe it. Thank you SO MUCH! Just a heads-up: we are completely out of No She Didn’t, Cosmopop, Centrifuchsia and only 1 Airborne Unicorn & 5 Retrofuturist left.  Second shipment won’t be in until November so if you need them before Halloween, now is a good time to order.

Thank you all for your continuous support, your emails, comments, care packages in the mail. You guys are what keeps me going! I would like to especially thank our hard-working Street Team who have drummed up quite the buzz about Lime Crime. xo!
