Lime Crime Diamond Crushers review + swatches!

Hello folks, it's been a while...
It's actually school holidays now and I'm trying my best to push out blog posts but I've been VERY lazy you don't even know.
Anyway, today I have a review to share on a product I personally have no idea why I bought. I'm going to write this review for two shades: Trip and Lit. So let's jump right in!

TOP - BOTTOM: Trip, Lit
 I bought them off Carousell (you know the drill) for SGD$29! They retail for USD$18 per piece, and you can purchase the original bundle of six shades for a discounted price (currently) for USD$80! The relatively newer shade is Cheap Thrills, from their Valentine's day collection! But their newest collection just dropped recently I believe, which consists of three new shades, Black Unicorn, Acid Fairy and Cleopatra! Available individually for USD$18 and in a trio at a discounted price of USD$40, and everything can be purchased here! Each tube comes with 0.14 fl. oz/4.14 mL, which is an upgrade from their Velvetines, with only ~2.6mL of product.

On the website, it states that "Get the effect of *crushed diamonds* on your lips, cheeks, and anywhere else on your body with a swipe of a wand! Can be worn by itself or over matte lipstick without making it run. And did we mention it smells like strawberries??" I know for one, it definitely smells like strawberries. It smells so darn delicious (but it actually isn't, don't eat it). The website also states "What it does: Glitters up your life. Enhances liquid mattes. Makes you look like f*cking amazing! What it won't do: Run, feel gritty or drying. Ruin your liquid matte lipstick." Let's see if these claims are true!

Let me show you guys how these bad boys look first! These are just naked swatches of how they look alone and mixed!

TRIPIridescent lip topper in a 'delirium purple' hue.
LITIridescent lip topper in a 'rose gold on acid' hue.

LIT + TRIP: Gives kind of a lilac-y gold shift thingy. Pretty.

Lightweight water-based formula is filled with light-reflective iridescent shimmers that dance and glisten with you as you move. Feels like nothing on skin & lasts forever.

Now, my swatches are a little bit weird on this one, so I'm gonna put it both here and in the caption. I swatched the toppers over 7 colours on my arms. I swatched a wide range of colours from blue to brown to pinks and greys so you guys get a rough idea of how they look! For your information, my swatches are always with Lit on the top and Trip on the bottom!ABH: Anastasia Beverly Hills, LC: Lime Crime, GGM: Give Me Glow, JSC: Jeffree Star Cosmetics, KVD: Kat Von D.

Sorry if the swatches are a little bit messy, especially the set of swatches under flash! Anyway, here's me using it as a highlighter and a lip topper!
using Trip as a highlighter
using Lit as a topper over LC Cement!

They are indeed very lightweight, and it's texture is very runny, but not runny to the point of the product dripping off the applicator etc. My tip while using these products is that if you're planning to use these as lip toppers and not as opaque glitters on the lips, you shouldn't apply to thick a layer, if not you may end up covering your base colour beneath it!

 Overall, they perform very excellent-ly in my opinion! They kinda are transfer-proof. Only thing is that there definitely will be some specks of glitter that get on to the cup or whatever. But they definitely do not come out in chunks. Happy that I got them and I will definitely purchase more! Thanks for reading this lengthy review! Have a great day wherever you are!!
