You know how we have a uni-carton? Well, now we have a uni-shipper as well!
When I started this line, I wanted to bring a vision to life. A makeup line that’s not just bright, but quality and FUN – something that’s been missing in cosmetics for a long time. This vision took me on a glittering journey of pudgy purple tubes, blue lipsticks and sparkly unicorns. One thing I was never happy about was our ‘opening experience’. The box Lime Crime goodies came in was ok, but it wasn’t anything special – and here at Lime Crime we don’t believe in treating our customers anything but! The way I see it, if it’s going to be something you guys eagerly await and bug your mail man every day about, it better be damn special!
And so I designed something that I myself would love to receive in the mail – something that squeals “GLEE!!!” before you even open the box! All orders placed on limecrimemakeup.com are shipped in these from now on!
You bet I design on lime paper! ;)
Uni shipper and its prototype
What you’ll find inside the uni-shipper…
Deerlings: what do you think? Is there anything else you’d like to see inside our uni-shipper?
How adorable! I mean I get all giddy just opening up the normal packages, but now I get a cute box too? How Gleeful!
Love it :)
Just got money for my birthday, So hopefully I’ll get to buy some lime crime makeup :D
the box looks fantastic!! ive never seen a shipping box like it, :) <3
Nice touch, Doe. Little details count.

Agreed. People love thought out things throughout the product… the product itself as well as what it comes in. =)
hurray for new shipment boxes, look is sooo important in fashion/makeup. Goodbye old boring white shipment boxe ^_^
one thing though, i think there should be a smaller size, because when you order like.. one lipstick, or 2 eyeshadow, it’s kinda overwhelming, and not very eco-friendly…. but that is just my 2 cents
overall, it’s a nice step forward for Lime Crime :)

I would definitely reuse the box to store other things, but I agree with you. If you’re just buying one tube of lipstick the huge box seems a bit excessive.

Agreed, but that’s the beauty of Doe’s site, we get to let her know what we’d like to see from her product and she tries to make it reality.
I would definitely prefer a smaller box though, my mailer has to give the larger box to my apartment manager and I’m afraid something that cute would get taken! Not really a concern, just being over dramatic!

i would definitely reuse the box, but indeed a smaller one would fit in my mailbox and not end up at the post office for pickup ;)

Yea, you’re right. Then the one lipstick or the one eyeshadow would be bumping around in the big box on its way over. But you can definitely use it to store cute goodies! Small boxes would be really cute too.

Since there aren’t smaller ones, You could always recycle the box :) Thats eco-friendly(:
But When I get mine I’m cutting out the unicorn and hanging i on my wall :)

nopee, they were talking about the shipper not the packaging.
Oh my god, I frickin’ love it! I’m gonna have to buy something now for the shipper alone. Adores it!
I’d totally squee if I got a package like that in the mail, they’re so cute.
How would shipping stickers work on the top? The unicorn is going to be covered up!

We instructed our shipping center to use smaller stickers for that very reason. :) It would be a shame to cover up the ‘corn!

ok just checking! I’m a graphic designer and I would cry if an ugly huge sticker was messing with my design!
I love it!! I wish all my online purchases came in pretty boxes like this!
It’s so adorable~! I love it!
And you are just too cute. :D
I just can repeat myself: I need one of those boxes, ha ha, I love them!
So cute!! Now I REALLY want to order. ^_^
omg! omg!
*needs to buy limecrime once again*
that is SO adorable!! :)
Well..I love it! AND..it’s my favorite color! :-)
Wow, this is so gorgeous! Can’t wait to place next month’s order!
So adorable. I can’t wait to place my order once my paycheck comes in!
This is sooo cute! Looks like I will be ordering some new products soon! I really like the box!
Love it… make me want to buy more amazing lipstick!
xx
My goodness! If all boxes were this adorable, I would be in trouble :)
The lovely shade of blue just screams glee!
Now I have no excuse left…I WILL order a lipstick this week! (It will be shipped in that cute box if I order this week right??)
I wanna buy some stuff again now that I know it’s being shipped so nicely!
AHH!! Now I definitely have to order some stuff!
I got No She Didn’t the other day & it came in the new box. It’s totally fab.
Getting mail with fantastic stuff inside is always fun, but with this box it’s even more so! Love the design, love the teal/blue. Maybe a pink inside?
It’s really great that you finally addressed the bow issue. Before, the orders came in pretty ordinary white boxes. Now I can recieve my Lime Crime makeup in totally unique packages. My mail lady will be so jealous!
oops. *Box not bow
Awesome! I remember some people making such a big deal about your old plain white shippers (even though many great places use the same! It’s what’s inside that counts!) but the news ones are so cute and unique! Definitely would use it on my makeup table :> I love the way you’re always working to improve the Lime Crime brand. It makes me feel proud as a customer and CF team member to see LC get more amazing every day!
This is adorable!!! I can’t wait to buy some more limecrime make up!!! I LOVE the details!!
It’s refreshing to see someone pay so much attention to nice packaging.
Now everyone will know how much you care about Lime Crime from the second they see the box!
LOVE The new shipper! It’s so darn cute! I love using cute boxes I get as holders for others things and that would definitely be on top of my “Want cute box” list!
Also: Your hair is just gorgeous this way! How did you manage it?
Adorable as always and can’t wait to save up my money ot buy some of that beautiful makeup! <3
That’s a good way to continue making the line unique!
That’s soooo great! The little things really are what count. I’m looking into custom printed cards and wrappings for Goldmine Trash myself. I really want our customers to be wowed by EVERYTHING when they shop with us.

such cute boxes!!! <33333 although i have to agree, littler ones would be nice. ordering one magic dust would be a bit too little for that size box! maybe you could design unicorned bubble mailers too for smaller orders? :D

yea you should doe! lime ones?
Aaw :) this is sooo adorable!
I’ve gotten really hyper when I’ve received LimeCrime makeup in the past, and I can’t believe how Gleeful I would get if this showed up in the mail ^^
One thing I would love to get in the uni-shipper would be a small mirror with a unicorn on ^^ haha :D
I love how you think about these things and actually put EVERY customer in the centre, and not just giving VIP-people the good stuff. You are a revolutionary entrepeneur, and it will pay off :)
Thanks god a good idea.
Opening packages from Lime Crime was already a blast with the pretty product packaging and the sparkley packing paper. I love that you take so much care delivering your products!
My latest order arrived in that adorable box a few days ago! Nice touch, I loved it!
I love it! all these little details make such a difference! it’s truly magical, I’m even more excited to place a Lime Crime order now!
I got my order today in a uni-shipper! I thought I had placed my order too early to get one when I read this post, so I was pleasantly surprised to see the pretty blue box. I bought only two lipsticks and I don’t think the box is too big. The lippies were nicely wrapped so they probably didn’t move around too much during the travel. Thanks Doe for the great customer service!
doe, i just wanted to tell you that you have the cutest little accent in the world :) so adorable!
It’s gorgeous! I love it and I really hope I get my order in one of those cute boxes! …though I wonder how I ever could throw one of those away? I guess I’d never…
I think the packaging is adorable, i dont think its too big i would love to get that box bc i could also reuse it to hold the make up and carry in my make up kit, i think it brings alot of attention to the products and it gets people asking questions, its a great way for your customers to advertise you and bring you new customers!! an idea to maybe add inside the box? stickers of the unicorn! maybe? haha can’t wait to place my order!!!
Oh my goodness! That is just the most enchanting shipper ever! This is why I love your brand so much. The aesthetic is amazing. Style and substance- you can’t go wrong. I must make an order now, because I need that box to store my lippies in!
That is one yummy box
LOL Did I hear a kitty in the background?!
Also, I remember a while back hearing some blogger “Grey” or “Gothique” criticize Doe on the lack of creativity in the shipper itself before when it was just plain white. I immediately thought that was completely unfair but I LOVE seeing the new Uni-Shipper! It’s like a kick in the pants to that meanie!
That is such a great idea! I would have never thought of it!
When I opened up my mailbox yesterday and saw the bright turquoise package waiting for me, I started laughing and squealing like a deranged person in the middle of the street… No one was around thankfully! I think it’s perfect, and it really fills you with glee and makes your fingers itch to open it and see what’s inside!
Doe your idea was amazing, but well, when are your ideas not? The products are a joy to use, and now we have more reasons to wait for the mail-man everyday! Oh, and the starry paper is another nice touch, loved it!
