Tales of the Unicorn Queen

Chinadoll Palette

Category Beauty

Don’t let her milky skin, pouty mouth and flushed cheeks fool you; underneath the poised façade, there lies a heart of a tigress…

Lime Crime’s long-anticipated foray into the realm of pressed eyeshadow begins with Chinadoll. Brought to life by indie style icon Hanna Beth, this collection is not for the faint of heart with shades of flame red, sky blue, sparkling gold, deep jade and jet black bursting forth. True to Lime Crime tradition, each eyeshadow is lavishly-pigmented, creamy in texture and provides superior coverage and blendability to satisfy even the pickiest eyeshadow lover. The five hues come encased in a deluxe purple tin.

THE CHINADOLL LOOK
as created by Doe Deere, Makeup Artist & Lime Crime Founder

“Chinadoll is fragile and bold, soft-spoken and out-spoken, a free spirit of undeniable presence. I created a romantic duality by casting watercolor gradients against sharper lines — Lotus Noir was applied under lower lashes, blended into Jade-o-Lade, then faded seamlessly into Parasol. Finally, I added soft-red accents to her cheeks, brows and around the temples for an innocent glow evocative of vintage Chinese advertising posters.”

An App That Saved My Sanity

Category Weekly Glee

Five years ago I heard a beautiful song over the radio in a supermarket. Male and female vocals entwined over a simple melody and Spanish guitars. I had it stuck in my head for weeks; what tortured me is that I couldn’t figure out who sang it. It didn’t help that the song was in a foreign language; which? I couldn’t quite place. I got so obsessed, I even referenced it (melodically) on the Doe Deere record, which I was writing at the time! Eventually, I accepted the fact that I will never know and it must stay in my head as a sweet memory.

Years later, thanks to the SoundHound app, I was able to hum it into my iPhone (!) and finally uncover its origins. It’s by an Iranian singer Arash, and is performed in Farsi. It’s such a gorgeous song, I can listen to it for days and days. Enjoy!
