Lime Crime Creates Makeup Products for all your Bold and Beautiful Looks

When it comes to making bold statements with makeup, many turn to Lime Crime. This is a cosmetic company that has been around since 2008. In recent time, however, they've been gaining more and more attention. That's because times are changing and people now want to embrace a look that is entirely their own. No longer do people want to blend in with the crowd by wearing nude lipstick and colors that match everyone else.

Lime Crime was created because the founder and CEO, Doe Deere, saw that there was a need for bright and bold colors. When Deere decided to pursue her passion for makeup, she realized a disturbing trend. That was the trend that cosmetic companies all over were trying to get people to be the same. They were selling lipstick colors that were close to the natural shade of lips. They were selling eyeshadows that were toned down in color. Deere realized that there were those who believe makeup is an art form. She wanted those to be able to express themselves freely.

Lime Crime is a cosmetic company that specializes in the bold. Their Velvetine lip line is all the rage. These are colors such as pinks, blues, purples, and more. Deere teaches us that you can mix and match to create the perfect look. Deere recently took on a new role within the company to help with the marketing and development of products. It's the perfect role for Deere because she truly is in touch with what people want. She is someone who spends a great deal of time on social media, searching to see what the latest trends are. Thanks to Deere, some great products have been created.

One recent product is the Unicorn Hair Dye. Anyone who sees Deere sees just how important her bright colored locks are. Deere can be seen rocking shades such as pink, purple, and red. She always looks flawless with her perfect porcelain skin, bold hair, and matching makeup. The Unicorn Hair Dye is perfect for anyone because there are shades for those with dark hair and those with light hair. Deere wants everyone to be able to find the look that makes them comfortable. These colors come in shades such as turquoise, charcoal, purple, and more. They gradually fade over time, leaving hair with a soft and still magical look.

Deere has also been responsible for the launch of the Diamond Crushers. The Diamond Crushers are the perfect look for summer. They glide over lips to give them that added pop of color. It literally looks like a thin layer of crushed up diamonds is dazzling on your lips. Again, these colors come in shades of pink, purple, green, and more. The Diamond Crushers can be worn on their own for a subtle look and shimmer. They can also be added on top of Velvetines to create a bold and fun look.

The company also has a line of Plushies which are all the rage. Plushies help bring out your natural shade. It enhances the color and makes your lip feel soft and plush. All of Lime Crime's makeup products are built to last. Once you apply, you don't have to worry. Your lip product will stay place in place through eating, talking, and drinking. Your liner won't smudge throughout the day either.

Whatever makeup product you choose, this company has got you covered. They're constantly coming out with new products to keep up with the latest trends. Thanks to this makeup company, you can create your own unique look with their lipsticks, eyeliners, hair dye, and more.

Divaderme Fiber Wings II Mascara and Lash Extender Review.

Divaderme, renowned for luxurious 2-in-1 beauty products for more than 30 years, owes its innovative formulations to its founder, Noreen Leuzzi. As a self-proclaimed makeup fanatic, she suffered when using traditional chemical-laden formulations and set out to create all natural products with instant results and long-term benefits.

Thanks to a family team of visionaries, inventors, natural chemists, and professional artists, Divaderme’s Italian formulations marry science with nature’s most beneficial extracts to create prestigious formulations with unparalleled results. Today, Divaderme’s entire line of products is infused with 100% natural skin-loving ingredients and contain absolutely no artificial or chemical ingredients. They are the perfect fusion of problem solvers and lavish treatments.

For more than three decades, Divaderme has satisfied the needs of those longing for radiant natural skincare, flawless makeup, lush lashes, perfectly sculpted eyebrows, and shimmering lips in a palette of chic European ultra-feminine colors and weightless textures. Divaderme’s use of cellulose fibers to safely and naturally enhance the length and volume of lashes and brows continues to defy competition. And their unprecedented semi-permanent products offer extraordinary value for those seeking more than a temporary fix.

Unlike traditional cosmetic formulas, Divaderme products feature plant-based extracts to help repair skin, soothe irritation, enhance color, cover gray, reduce hair loss, and aid in healthy hair production. Italian terra sea mineral clays, Boswellia Serrata, and Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract are just a few of the coveted ingredients that make Divaderme the undeniable choice of the world’s most discerning women.

Become an instant Diva with Divaderme Professional Cosmetics.

My Thoughts:

I adore makeup, and any form of eye intensifying products are my weaknesses. My favorite thing to rock are long, luscious lashes. Since my eyes are my favorite thing to show off, I tend to go for dramatic looks. However, false lashes are not something enjoyable for me. I try to look for products that will mimic the appearance of them, without all the work. I found that the Divaderme line was a wonderful substitute! The three step process to get fantastic lashes with their Fiber II Wings Mascara along with the Last II Extender was simple, fast, and effective. 

Here are a few points about each product:

PRODUCT FEATURES-

Fiber Wings II Mascara is a natural Argan Fiber Treatment Mascara-

A single coat creates dramatic definition, length, thickness, and volume.

Your 2-in-1 fix for instant results and long-term benefits.Your 2-in-1 fix for instant results and long-term benefits.

Active ingredients nourish, strengthen, and moisturize.

Use with Lash Extender II for extreme diva drama.

Natural cellulose fibers in deep rich mascara create instant length.

Safe for contact lens wearers.

NATURE’S PERFECT INGREDIENTS-

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, prized for its ability to promote hair growth and provide a beautiful sheen, conditions lashes with every stroke.

Cera Alba, or beeswax, is rich in fatty acids and esters, which help keep lashes plump and healthy.

Panthenol occurs naturally in every living thing and enhances body, sheen, and lash texture.

Nucifera Extract, or lotus root, conditions and strengthens lashes while adding shine.

Cynara Scolymus Leaf Extract, or artichoke extract, provides natural pigmentation without chemicals or artificial colors.

Keratin provides hydration and improves lash elasticity, which can result in less breakage.

PRODUCT FEATURES-

Lash Extender II-

Instantly lengthen and volumize lashes up to 1000%.

Create full, lush lashes without harsh chemicals or artificial ingredients.

Instant gratification with long-term benefits all in one bottle.

Safe for contact lens wearers.

NATURE’S PERFECT INGREDIENTS-

Boswellia Serrata, the Indian version of frankincense, can both strengthen hair roots, reducing fallout, as well as improve shine and condition.

Tocopherol, similar to Vitamin E, conditions skin and helps keep follicles healthy and producing new growth.

Panax Quinquefolius Extract, also known as American Ginseng, often has a firming effect when applied topically.

I've never applied fiber mascara before, so this was a new experience for me. In order to get the best results, Divaderme recommends a three step system. Firstly, apply a coat of the Fiber Wings II Mascara. Next, apply one coat of the Lash Extender II right after to ensure the mascara does not dry. If it drys, the fibers will not stick properly. Then, finish off with another coat of the mascara and you are good to go!

The Fiber Wings II Mascara brought out a significant amount of length and volume. The formula was thick, but went on evenly and it covered my lashes well. Applying the Lash Extender was a bit messy since you are coating your wet lashes with fibers. However, Divaderme recommends leaning over the sink and applying towards your mirror. Always remember that tapping the brush will help remove any excess fibers. Finish off the application by dusting the fibers off with your makeup brush if any have gotten onto your skin. The next coat of mascara will finish off the look. It did indeed lock in the fibers, while adding some extra length and intensity to my lashes. I was very happy overall! 

I have to say my look lasted all day. My mascara did not smudge or run. It was simple to remove with my makeup wipes and cleanser before bed. I was quite happy with my gorgeous lashes! I would certainly recommend giving Divaderme a try if you are on the market for a quality fiber mascara line of products. Not only do they work, but the ingredients and results will ensure a long lasting and healthy feel!

My Thoughts

With the new school year about to begin and the day getting cooler,  you need to start thinking about getting your lips healthy. Outside the cold wind causes chapping while the dry heat inside can suck all the moisture out of your lips. I always have a tube of ChapStick nearby in the winter months. It's always been one of my favorite products, and now I have even more reason to love it. The new ChapStick Lip Butters are 100% natural. These fabulous products moisturize, renew, and transform your lips without any chemical ingredients.

I was lucky enough to try a few of the new ChapSticks and they are just amazing. The three varieties I received are: Pink Grapefruit, Green Tea Mint, and Sweet Papaya. These fruity and minty flavors make it easy to forget how cold it will get outside, because they're like getting a little taste of the topics. They go on smooth, have a delightful taste, and even leave behind a light shine on your lips.  But the most important aspect of this lip care is that the special formula keeps your lips moisturized and helps maintain their youthful appearance. You only need to apply a few times a day to keep your lips looking and feeling great.  One affordable tube will last for months at a time.  ChapStick may have a new look, but it's still the reliable brand I've always trusted. I am thrilled with the new all natural line!

My Thoughts

 If you're tired of your daughter tossing her makeup all over the house, Caboodles has the perfect solution. Their beautiful cases offer tons of storage space and they come  in fun designs teens will love. There are a variety of compartments so you can sort all your beauty must-haves. My daughter has nail polish, make up, and moisturizers all stored in one lovey case. There was even room for her hair straightener. The chaos on her dresser is now under control.

This case is extremely well made with sturdy zippers and thick linings. The bright pink color doesn't stain easily and it's easy to wipe it clean if any makeup bottles leak.  It's by far the best make-up makeup bag  you can ask for.  Even better, this one is just the right size for her lock, making it a great choice for back-to-school. 

What I love most about Caboodles is that they are so timeless. I had one when I was a teenager. It was pink and purple, and I carried it around all through high school and college. The new cases with their beautiful designs are bringing a classic to a new generation. My daughter loves it! Anyone with a teen should consider adding this to their back-to-school wish list.

My Thoughts

These are all adorable and perfect sizes. Not only would they be great for travel, but also your purse. You could get a mini bag and be able to bring along all your favorite make-ups with you. 

I got to test out the Makeup Academy brand. This was a new brand for me. I liked on the back of each packet, it gave tips on how to use the make-up or ideas on how to make your thin lips look thicker. A company putting in little details like that for me, go a long way. While I like to put on make-up, I'm not expert and little tips help me a lot.

The eye shadows went on lightly and not overly dark. I liked the range of browns so I could define my eyes. I've never been a lipstick fan, but I did like the lipstick duo that they sent me to try. Both colors were flattering and worked well with the color palette they sent me that went well with the eye shadow. I also got to try a few of their brushes, such as an eyebow comb, and angled brush, and a powder brush. The brushes were soft against my skin and applied the make-up evenly.

Over all, I really liked this make-up line and will be looking at more of Makeup Academy products, which are sold at CVS. Be sure to stop by and pick up travel sizes of all your favorite make-ups to keep in your purse or be TSA ready with your favorite face products.

My Thoughts

I have a hard time with foundation the last few years for some reason. It always makes me break out. Not long ago, I finally found a BB cream that worked, but I hate the wet feeling of it before it dries into my skin. I was excited to try out Oxygenetix.

I found that this foundation went on very smooth and covered up my baggage under my eyes to where I didn't need concealer too. After it went on, it absorbed quick and didn't feel thick on my skin at all. Since using it, I have not had a breakout. I  have actually started to wear make-up again because of this foundation. I'm very pleased with it as an adult, so I imagine that it would work wonders on a teenager who is dealing with oily skin and constant breakouts.

This worked well all day as well. I didn't feel like I needed to reapply a few hours later. It also washed off without issue either. This was a really nice make-up and I will be checking out their entire line.
