Candy-scented Eyeshadow Primer?

Total Voters: 859
Loading ...Thanks for your feedback – point taken! A lot of you are concerned with fragrance causing irritation, and while I would never release something that didn’t go through rigorous testing, I would rather you not worry about these things. Scent-free, it is – packaging will still be cute though! ;)
The primer itself is a great idea, but I think having a scented product could be irritating to a lot of people, especially those who are sensitive or allergic to perfumed products.
At the very least, there should be a fragrance-free option.
I think that sounds delightful! As long as it’s a light smell and not over powering. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Love and Turtledoves,
Jaco

Definitely a light scent – more of a hint. ;)
Although it is a whimsical idea and would fit your company theme well, personally as someone with very sensitive skin I avoid scented products, especially ones used on the face. I am happy that you are planning to sell an eyeshadow primer though, it will come in handy to use with your pretty shadows!
Best, ~Kim
Totally!! I think it would go so well with the packages!!!!
every girl loves a scented lipstick (well I do anyway) so why not eye shadow?!
Love what you do girl!!!
I can see fragrance on the eyelid being problematic. Perhaps you should have the container scented? Like fragrance impregnated plastic a la Strawberry Shortcake. That way you don’t have to worry about potential irritants and you still get the fun scent.

I agree also
I think if the scent is light then it would be hit! I have been looking for a good primer but haven’t found one worth investing in but I am already more intertested in this primer than others I’ve looked up. I refuse to wear Urban Decay primer simply because of its name, I mean I would feel a bit embarrassed to tell someone that my makeup is called Urban Decay. It sounds like a decomposing disease, anyone else feel this way?

Well, Urban Decay, when you break it down it’s the decay of urban settings. Not people or a disease. It’d be closer to an old crumbling building than a disease.

Urban Decay is a relic of the 90′s grunge era. But I suppose they are stuck with the name. At the time it was the most goth grunge make up you could get in darker and weirder colors. Now there are many more options with cuter names.

Their primer potion is known to work really well, so is Two-Faced Shadow Insurance…. If you prefer the name Two-Faced over Urban Decay
Brittany Reply:

I feel like I have to clear my name,lol. I just expressed how the name (not the brand,mind you)kinda makes me feel like I’d be wearing something thats decaying and I wouldn’t judge anyone else for wearing the brand.But I did ask though,haha.
I think having a fragrance on an eye product is a very bad idea. Especially for those like myself who have sensitive skin and easily irritated eyes. I always try to steer clear of scented products when it comes to my face.
If you decide to make a fragrance primer you should also make a non scented one so people have a choice. A lot of companies give you that choice now which is great.
I wouldn’t spend money on an eyeshadow primer that is scented for several reasons:
1. Scents on the eyes aren’t something that the wearer would particularly notice, and it’d be extremely unlikely anyone else would notice either.
2. It sounds like it would be fairly chemical-based, not something I would want to put around the delicate skin on my eyes.
3. In order to create a scented product that works well, it would probably be overpriced compared to other primers. (Overpriced for a benefit that wouldn’t be particularly noticable/useful.)
I admire you for thinking outside the box but honestly speaking I think a lot of people would give this product a miss.

It may be true that you can very easily find other blue lipsticks, I’ve never seen that particular shade of opaque bubblegum blue anywhere else, and I try to duplicate everything. (I’ve never run out of a favorite limited edition color by simply looking around for duplicates.) At any rate, someone had the idea of having a scented plastic container (like Strawberry Shortcake) and I vote for that!
Ashley Reply:
August 29, 2010 at 10:12 pm
That is a better way to phrase it. Because I can name off several blue lipsticks off the top of my head. And that color can be easily made with OCC lip tars, just mixing the white and blue. But yes, you’re right, that particular shade is hard to find without having to mix.
Noooo! I’m allergic to most scents. I’d wear that and my eyes would puff up like those funky goldfish with the google eyes! O_o

I voted no- I wouldn’t mind a very light scent, as long as I wouldn’t be able to smell it on my face, or anyone else (I don’t like smells interfering with fragrances I am wearing)
But the problem is I have VERY sensitive skin, especially on my eyelids! I’m worried the fragrance might irritate them : (
I can’t believe yes is winning- i worked cosmetics retail
& management for over 10 years, I can promise you scenting your primer would hurt your sales. Many people won’t even consider trying a facial product w/ added fragrance, let alone one for the eyes. It sounds yummy, but just isn’t practical for this application.
Yes, if it’s vegan
Where is the YES YES YES YES YES option?

In my mind! :D
OMG! YES! YES! YES! =D
although maybe not the scent…I mean don’t get me wrong i love nice smelling products but it could cause alot or drama if people got iriitated skin because of the scent.
also, can you make it at least semi-cheap! sorry i didnt mean to sound rude but for teens like me with not much money it’s really hard with such amazing products!! =/
That sounds like a terrible idea, you really shouldn’t put scented anything close to your eyes. :/
i voted yes! sounds awesome! I love your way of thinking Doe Deere ;)
you should make perfume….i would SO buy it! imagine you could do like bright rainbow, unicorn,cute packaging like the lipsticks!
Contact lenses + scented primer? No thanks.
I don’t like the idea of bringing anything scented near the sensitive skin on my eyelids. On the other hand, my foundation smells like canteloupe and I love it.

If it were fruit scented I wouldn’t be as wary, as that can be obtained with fruit oils most likely.
It’s the candy aspect that has me worried.
Brittany Reply:
August 5, 2010 at 1:26 pm
I love the fruit oil idea! Maybe there could be candy scents and fruits scents…
I love the idea! I understand that a lot of people have allergies, but as long as there are other eyeshadows to choose from, I’m sure it will work out just great. (:
Just throwing this out there after reading through what was already posted, I highly doubt a scented eyeshadow primer could overwhelm perfume.
Stephanie Reply:
August 5, 2010 at 1:14 pm
*eyeshadows should be eyeshadow primer instead, heh I realise the difference.
OMG, yes, yes, yes. This would be awesome!
I think it would be great, but a lot of people have trouble with fragrances. If they’re not allergic, they tend to irritate the skin. With the eyelid be sensitive area, it might be ouchie. If you can find a way to make them hypo-allergenic, too, that would be great! I personally love scented cosmetics, but I know a lot of people who are bothered by them. :$
my eyelids are the only things that have ever reacted negatively to makeup, so I try to take it easy on them. It sounds cute, but I’d rather lipstick smelled like something cute right under my nose than my eyelids.
Not for me, I love the bright colours of Lime Crime but I think as a brand having candy-scented things makes it seem a bit… childish, which it’s not – it’s a luxury product, with a reputation for quality.
I’m much more looking forward to new colours and more lipsticks! xx
More or less, any fragrance, especially artificial ones are going to be a skin or eye irritant. I wouldn’t risk an allergic reaction just to have a makeup product that smells nice. Besides, it’s an eye primer and you wouldn’t be able to smell your own eyelids. You would only be able to smell the product in the container or hands….
Maybe you can make a candy scented shimmery body powder instead. It would still fit the spirit of Lime Crime, and it’s safer. Just my thoughts :)
Satsuma Reply:
August 5, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Achro, that’s a brilliant idea! Since the shimmery body powder is functional but not, you know, as specifically necessary as eye primer, people could adjust it to their own wants more easily, and it wouldn’t run such risk of irritation.
I still don’t understand why people is like ‘Omg yes!’ I don’t really see the benefits in a candy scented eyeshadow primer. POSSIBLY a foundation one, cos I guess you could at least smell it… but the way I see it, perfumes aren’t really intended for the face. Even if we love Doe, we don’t have to agree with every idea she throws at us, particularly if it will be a bad business decision (:
Ashley Reply:
August 5, 2010 at 4:17 pm
Thank you! I really think the majority of the votes are just girls assuming that it’s what Doe wants us to want. But it doesn’t make any sense.
I voted no – because I am VERY sensitive to scents. That’s one of the things i love about your existing line – no fragrance!
If you want to offer it for those who want it and also sell an unscented formula for me and the rest of us frangrance free folks that would be AWESOME!
I’m all for it. I wonder that you would even ask! but people said NO!?
I use and eye cream from 100% pure that smells like cake, so I think candy scented primer is a MUST*!*
I wanna be my *MOST* Mindeelishus self for the world.

What’s the brand of eye cream you use??
Absolutely not. I’m extremely allergic to fragrances. I mean, so allergic I’ll get a migraine coupled with hives.
Hmm, sounds like a lot of people really want it but a lot of people also have legitimate concerns about it irritating their eyes. Is there any way that you could sell both a scented and nonscented version?
Well, my opinion is this. You’re going to have something like ‘scented’ on the label, right? There are going to be those of us who are totally up for scented eyeshadows! And then, there’s going to be those who have skin allergies or are concerned about their contacts. Weeell. Those people who KNOW that the eyeshadow is scented are not required to buy them. So, saying yes for the sake of novelty or saying no due to problems others may have with it isn’t quite in keeping with the poll.
I voted yes because I want scented eyeshadows myself and because I’m fairly sure I wouldn’t have a problem with it. :D
I think yes if you also offered one with no fragrance for sensitive skinned beauties. Something like strawberry candy would be nice but I’d also be afraid of bees being attracted to my eyelids.
I really, really, really love this idea! But I have very sensitive skin, so I could see it being a problem for me and many others. As much as I would LOVE having primer that smelled like unicorn cupcakes, or something like that, I don’t think I’d be able to wear it unless it was hypoallergenic, which is hard to be if it’s a scented product);
I’m going with no only because most candy-scented things make my head hurt, and I don’t think I’d like to have the smell of candy on my eyelids anyway. I’d rather have a candy-scented lipy or gloss or even some sugary-scented body dusts than something scenty on my eyelids.
Definate NOO! lol not on the eyes. Especially for girls with sensitive skin, contacts, or allergies. My eyes don’t need to smell, do yours? Candy scents might make a GREAT fragrance line or set of lip glosses? Think of how cute the packaging could be <3
I voted yes, love the idea!
I’m not sensitive to fragrances so I voted yes, but I do see the problem in having a scented eye product. Perhaps unscented primer and scented other things… creme blush, highlighter, etc.
<3 Hope your day is absolutely wonderful!
Okay, those of you voting yes, really, why?
Are you really going to ask people to smell your eyes? If the primer is scented and eyeshadows aren’t, what’s the point anyway? The scent would get covered by the layers of eyeshadow.

Where in the whole thread does it say I want people to SMELL my eyes!? It’s just for ME, for US girls who use it, not for the other ones. It’s just to feel comfortable while applying our primer.
It’s a cute idea, but as others had said, it would irritating to the eye. So, no. ):
Try a lip gloss instead? :D
I don’t see how this is appealing…. especially how you already said it would be a really light scent. Is the tiniest “hint” of a smell worth irritation? It just sounds sooo gimmicky.
I love the idea of a light candy scent so long as it doesn’t impair the quality of the product you are delivering. Why not delight the senses?
I don’t care what it smells like as long as it works. Adding scent just for the sake of it seems gimmicky.
Besides, there’s always the fact that not everyone reacts well to fragrance.
I have to weigh in with a huge, resounding nofortheloveofallthatsgoodpleasedon’t NO!
I am also one with sensitivities, especially affecting my eyes. I’d never in a million years try it – there’s no reason to risk the reaction.
There’s -no- benefit here. Eyes don’t smell bad. There’s no need to add fragrance – no beneficial purpose to that at all, but plenty of adverse potential. Possibilities allergic reactions, watery-eye irritation, unnecessary added chemicals and irritants on delicate skin and membranes, and even just clashing with perfume or other fragrance.
This is makeup, not a Hello Kitty eraser we’re talking about! It just seems completely off-base to add potential irritants to something for use around the eyes for no useful purpose at all.
I’ll be honest, I can’t see this working. Not only is there the worry of scented cosmetics near the eyes being pretty unhealthy, but I just don’t understand the point of scenting something no one’s going to smell… Why not work on a lime crime fragrance or something instead?!
Why is owning eyeshadow primer a must if one can just use foundation?!

Primer makes your eyeshadow last twice as long, makes the color stand out more, prevents creasing, and gives you a smooth surface to apply your eyeshadow on.
Mind you, they also sell face primer, to put on BEFORE foundation. So that there shows that a primer is needed for that as well.

I’m an artist too and I have to dissagree with you.
Foundations are for evening out the skin’s TONE, primers are for evening out the skin’s TEXTURE.
Same goes for paints, my darling.
You use a primer on wood (or other surfaces) to make the texture smoother. ;)
In case of an eye primer, not only does it make it smoother, but it usualy is a bit sticky, so the powder of the shadow will really stay on.
Kristi Reply:
August 9, 2010 at 3:12 pm
I know, duh. My liquid foundation does just that.
No no no no no. stupid idea.
a) sensitive skin, allergies, contact lens users. I for one have such severe fragrance allergies that I can only use plain soaps, no body wash, eau du toilette, perfume etc. Your excluding a lot of people.
b) it’s childish and gimmicky IMO. “Like OMG you guys come smell my eyelids, like aren’t I so totally rad and candyfuture?” puke
c) in what social situation do people sniff eyelids. Have I been so cosseted I’ve missed out on this vital adventure?
d) i’ve fallen out of love with the whole Limecrime thing. A few years ago I really looked up to you and your skills, not anymore. After all the fandango with lipstick reviewers being threatened with lawsuits etc, I’d rather nothing new was released.

Doe has made a very careful, thoughtful, and wise decision. The irony of this is that it’s the decision most of the huffy-puffy people wanted!

I think your response to Alexandriana’s comment is really rude and out of line … Is anyone who questions your products and business practices stupid? And these are not “baseless” rumors – it’s a fact that you have sent emails to reviewers forcing them to retract their negative reviews by threatening them with legal action (Gothique), and asking your candyfuture fans to bombard a reviewer with “their thoughts” on your lipsticks (Temptalia). The emails you have sent them and the newsletter have been made public, to call them rumors would be incorrect, and referring to your readers as “less intelligent” comes across as really unprofessional and unnecessary to me.
I’m not counting on this being approved, but I hope you at least have the decency to let people express their opinions. I for one also used to look up to you and your creativity, and a lot of your actions have put me off.

Just to address some folklore that has been going around and needs to be put to rest -
Gothique – there was no issue with her review. She didn’t like the lipsticks, so what. People have a right to their opinion. Unfortunately, she also chose to post untrue, defamatory information – and was sent a letter informing her of that. Keep in mind that she only posted half of the letter she’d received – conveniently omitting the most important parts to make me seem like a bully. I don’t think this is fair – she shouldn’t have purported untrue and damaging information as fact in the first place.
Temptalia – this is just outright false. Nobody ‘bombarded’ her with anything, people like to exaggerate everything. :) I encouraged our customers to share their positive experiences with the brand in a polite & professional manner – which is exactly what they did. Christine has yet to receive one rude or aggressive comment, all she got was a couple of positive ones, for a change. The only thing I’m guilty of here is sending some rainbows and butterflies her way. ;)
To summarize, Lime Crime did not nor would ever attack anyone for speaking their mind. There are plenty of good & bad reviews out there for everyone to see – that’s what makes our community such a diverse and interesting place. Now, let’s all just get along. :))))
Rosalie Reply:
August 6, 2010 at 12:30 pm
Oh come on – Temptalia reviewed your product honestly, objectively and professionally, and you asked your candyfuturettes to spam her PERSONAL email to tell her all her views are false. It is HER opinion and you can not expect everyone to like your product, she – like everyone – should have the right decide so for herself. It is not “sending some rainbows and butterflies her way”, it’s a childish way to set your fans on someone who is entitled to her opinion (and has the pictures to back it up!). Even your fans agree that this was uncalled for.
What did you expect to accomplish? Her changing her views simply because others disagree with her? Maybe instead, you should look at the flaws she pointed our and IMPROVE YOUR PRODUCT!
And you are contradicting yourself immensely in this comment – “she didn’t like the lipsticks, so what?” EXACTLY! Temptalia didn’t like the lipsticks, so what? Why feel the need to convince her to think otherwise?
Doe Deere Reply:
August 6, 2010 at 12:53 pm
Christine’s email was definitely not personal. I had only corresponded with her professionally, and that’s the email I was given.
Objectivity of the review – umm, let’s just say I have a piece of information that leads me to believe it was far from that. Given our prior correspondence, the review came as a shock – and perhaps my reaction was a little strong. I probably wouldn’t do that again. Regardless, it was her decision to make, just like it was mine. Sometimes it’s hard to see what’s going on on the inside from the outside, and I don’t want anybody to be angry/think that I’m a bad person over misconstruing the situation.
I do think Christine made some excellent points and we are already working on improving the product based on her (and others’!) feedback. In the end, if you guys are not happy, I’m not happy! xo
Rosalie Reply:
August 6, 2010 at 2:04 pm
It’s not the email that is listed on the website, and in the comment section of her review she points out that she tries to keep it for more personal stuff. It might be the email she gave to you for one-to-one correspondence, but that does not give you the right to give it out to others.
Anyway, I’ve said what I had to say, it’s all on your conscience in the end and it is everyone’s own choice to buy from your business & believe what they want to believe. Thank you for approving my comments :)
Doe Deere Reply:
August 6, 2010 at 4:28 pm
All I can say is she at least used to use it as a professional email. After all, Christine and I knew each other strictly in a professional setting and I would never assume I was worthy of her personal email, hehe. She changed it to a form on her website a few months back independently of the incident.
And hey, no need to thank me! As long as a person is reasonable, it’s all good! :)

Seems to me like a defamatory comment: that you say it to cast doubt, but won’t (I bet can’t) back it up with facts.
You threw her under the bus with that comment. Back it up with facts or don’t say anything at all. You obviously seem to think you can tell us what to think without backing up any of your claims.
Must say I’m pretty disappointed. Don’t expect you to post this comment, but thought you should know I really feel let down by your poor attitude.

I agree… I feel that professionalism should be at the forefront in a company, and to suggest that there is something potentially damaging to the integrity of another party to the public (without specifics) gives me an uneasy feeling. It does throw Christine under the bus.
If the ‘piece of information’ was something specific and obvious, it should be shared. If it was just an interpretation, a hunch, or just a guess – then it’s not fact, and the suggestion of it isn’t fair (just like the rumors about Lime Crime aren’t exactly fair.)

O_o I’m fairly new to all this but I know there have been rumors about LC and all I’ve gotta say is that if you believe the rumors [which i do not] all you gotta do is just not shop LC. it’s that simple. No need to get your panties in a knot. In King Leonidas’s words, “Besides, there is no reason we can’t be civil, is there?” Lol.

Actually it is a well known fact that you threatened Grey from Le Gothique with a lawsuit if she didn’t remove her review of your products which was her personal opinion. No matter how you feel about what someone says about you it is unethical, rude and bad business to threaten them into hiding their true opinions.

There was no issue with her review – people have a right to their opinion, and we respect that. Unfortunately, she also chose to post untrue, defamatory information – and was sent a letter informing her of that. Keep in mind that she only posted half of the letter she’d received – conveniently omitting the most important parts to make us seem like a bully. I don’t think this is fair – she shouldn’t have purported untrue and damaging information as fact in the first place.

4g. We’re changing the description in a few days to reflect the new eyeshadows. :)
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Goodness me, ANYTHING with fragrance in it leaves my eyelids and undereyes RED, Stinging and unable to wear makeup or even touch for 48 hours afterwards without enduring excruciating pain. Frangrance and eyes do not mix. they are the most delicate part of our appearance and im telling you, it’d be a horrible decision. Even for people who are unaware if they have sensitivities may have an issue.
Oh, I voted yes, but I forgot my dermatologist told me I should really stay away from scented products.
I LOVE your products but suffer from eczema and would not be able to use the primer if it was scented. It would be unfair as I am very much looking forward to your primer and would be dissapointed if it was scented.
It’s a cute idea that would fit the company but really wouldn’t suit all your customers.

Good point, Jenny.
