My Rating:  10 out of 10 Feathers

Cost:  $18.00 for 0.12 oz

Availability:  www.limecrime.com

Formula:  Metallic Finish.

The Packaging:  Round shaped lipstick tube twist up.

My Final Thoughts:  I bought this first and foremost out of curiosity to see if it really was as true to the swatches they posted. Once I received it I couldn't stop staring at it, it was gorgeous in the packaging and just as beautiful after I swatched it.

Serpentina is described on their site as a Metallic Green and omg is it ever true to that and then some. It's got a beautiful shift of almost sparkles of blue and light green as well. It didn't make my lips dry at all and it went on creamy and pigmented! 

I LOVE this lipstick shade, I love the packaging as well then again I'm all about unicorns and any mythical horse really so I guess I'm a tad biased there!

I found this lipstick has a smell that is similar to MAC lipsticks, it's sort of a vanilla scent that is not overly strong and you really can't smell much once on the lips. 

Would I purchase again?  Absolutely, YES! This lipstick is pigmented, creamy, unique, and the smell is really pleasant! The price is higher than most but you're also getting a gorgeous shade that is really great quality.

Do you own Serpentina? What are you thoughts?

Formula:  Varies with shade matte to metallic finishes.

The Packaging:  Square shaped lipstick tube twist up.

My Final Thoughts:  So far I am loving all the color statement lipsticks, this review is basically a pleasant repeat of the previous two shades I reviewed and I hope it will continue with the remaining shades (and boy are there a ton of shades to go)!

04 High Voltage is a vinyl finish lipstick in an orange based red shade, it went on very smooth, creamy, and pigmented. I love the fact it made my lips looks really hydrated despite the fact they were extremely dry.

05 Red Label is a cream finish lipstick in a blue based red shade, this shade also went on very smooth, creamy, and pigmented as well. It wasn't drying at all on my lips despite the fact they were very dry and irritated from swatching so much that day.


Would I purchase again?  YES! I found these two shades to be very creamy and pigmented and they applied very easily without feeling dry at all. They have a pleasant strawberry like smell and there are over 30 different colors to choose from in this collection so you're sure to find a shade you love at a terrific price!

Do you own any of these? What's your favorite shade?

My Final Thoughts:  These lipsticks are amazing, when I swatched them they went on easily in just one swipe. They have an almost strawberry scent that isn't too strong which I personally like so that's a plus.

01 Sweet Nectar is a cream finish lipstick in a bright orange shade, it went on very smooth, creamy, and pigmented. It didn't feel drying on the lips at all even with mine being dry from the winter weather right now.

03 Orange-Gina is a pearl finish lipstick in a brown orange shade with a gold shimmer, this shade also went on very smooth, creamy, and pigmented as well. I really love the shimmer look this shade has, it's really gorgeous especially when the sun light was hitting it.


Would I purchase again?  Definitely, yes! These are true to the statement of one swipe instant color, they are amazingly pigmented without being drying. They have a pleasant strawberry like smell and there are over 30 different colors to choose from in this collection so you're sure to find a shade you love at a terrific price!

Do you own any of these? What's your favorite shade?
