Lime Crime lipstick in Geradium

Hello again my lovelies! Today I'll be reviewing a gorgeous lipstick from Lime Crime. I have to warn you though - this will be a picture heavy post (I really couldn't help myself from taking a bunch of photos and showing them all to you). :D

I wasn't really planing on getting this lipstick, I was actually looking at some Mac ones... but somehow I found myself on the Lime Crime web site, browsing through the selection. :) Geradium seemed a really interesting color and at the same time, a color that I would actually wear outside my home (if you're familiar with Lime Crime then you know their lipstick shades aren't really subtle). :D

I have to say right away that I am totally in love with this lipstick! There really isn't anything about it that I don't like. :) It's a gorgeous shade, it's very opaque and it glides on the lips effortlessly. It feels really nice on the lips and does not dry them out (which I was afraid it would). The scent is really mild, almost unnoticeable (a typical lipstick scent I would say). It has great lasting power and stains like nobodies business. Seriously - I swatched it on my hand to take some photos and left it there for about a minute or so, then took it off with a makeup removing wipe and washed my hands with soap... and the next morning you could still see some pink hints of it on my hand. Insane I tell you! :) It does the same with the lips... Which I think is great, because you're always left with some color on your lips, even when the lipstick itself has worn off. 

The packaging is obviously gorgeous - I mean who wouldn't want to pull out a beautiful purple lipstick casing with a unicorn on it, out of their makeup bag? I certainly like to take it out and show it off... :D And it's not just pretty, it shuts nicely and doesn't open very easily, so your lipstick is always secure. I'm also pretty happy with the price tag - I definitely think it's worth $16. I already have my eye on some other shades - like Babette, Retrofuturist and Centrifuschia.

What do you think of this shade? Do you own any Lime Crime lipsticks, which one is your favorite? If not, which ones would you like to have?
