I received my new Lime Crime Lipstick in the mail about 2 days ago, and this is what the color was suppose to look like:
www.limecrimemakeup.com
However, when I got it - it's not the pale pinkish nude that I thought it'd be like on their website. It's more of a beige nude - like a tan-ish nude. It's still a nice color - and I like it -- but I already have a lipstick like that :(
In fact, the color I already have like Lime Crime's Coquette is Revlon's Colorburst Soft Nude Lipstick.
Almost the same exact color! Sorry, I've used my Revlon Soft Nude quite a bit :P
Of course, Coquette is more pigmented than Soft Nude - but it should be - it's about $10 than the Revlon Soft Nude! If you've read my other review on my other Lime Crime Lipsticks, I really like those - but this one had a bit of a different texture - it doesn't go on as smoothly as the others I have (Cosmopop & Great Pink Planet). However, Revlon's Soft Nude - it goes on easier. But of course, you have to use more of the Soft Nude product to get as much pigmentation as Coquette.
Coquette looks really nice with about 2 layers on & a nice tanish/nude lipgloss to go over it. I do like Coquette, but I just thought it'd be a pinky-nude more so than a beige-nude.
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Soft Nude (#070) = About $6
Lime Crime Lipstick in Coquette = $16
Awww I wish you'd show some pics of you wearing them! this made me go out and get "Soft Nude" for myself though, so thanks for the post! :)
