Hey guys! I hope you are enjoying lip swatch week!! I have recently heard weird things about limecrime! What is up with this company?!? I'm so NOT aware? PS- These videos were all pre recorded (since I'm in the process of moving) and when I went to edit Saturday's video, the files were corrupted (cries in corner) I KNOW so many of you were looking forward to the too faced melted lipsticks!!!! I'm so sorry' THE SECOND I get all settled in to my new place im going to film that video and post it. Don't hate meeeee
I was unaffected by the security breach since I used PayPal but people who used their credit cards got fraudulent charges. Some got a couple hundred dollars stolen and I've read in the comment section that some got a few thousand dollars worth of fraudulent charges. It sucks that they waited so long to address the issue but people forget that Lime Crime is still relatively small business.
Yeah, limecrime is a terrible company unfortunately. Your followers should be warned that their security system at checkout isn't great, my cc info was stolen after making a purchase there. This happened to tons of people, and when they started making comments last week on an instagram post, lc chose to delete the post instead of being a professional company and looking into the problem. It wasn't until HUGE backlash that they are backpedaling. Very unprofessional and they won't be getting my business ever again, which sucks because I really do like their velvetines. Oh well.
Omg!!!!! Wtf. I'm NOT EVEN KIDDING RIGHT NOW.. I just had a fraud on my card a couple of days ago. I had to deactivate it! I wonder if it was cause of LC!!!! Wow.
The music makes me feel like I'm in a Jeep Wrangler driving full speed through a jungle or desert or whatever with the wind blowing through my hair about to go on the adventure of my life. I love it. Lol
Lmao!!! I seriously thought the same things pictured myself on a river or something driving a boat at full speed with my hair blowing in the wind outgoing through a jungle
Hi Kathleen, I normally am not very comfortable commenting on controversial subjects and I'm honestly not sure how I feel about Lime Crime anymore, but I loved the velvetines they were my first liquid lipsticks I ever tried and the formula was also my favorite. However, in the last year or so I started hearing a lot of rumors about shady stuff their CEO did in the past and I didn't really know what to think about it but recently I saw a post on Lime Crime's website about their website being hacked and apparently thousands of people have gotten their bank information compromised and money taken from their accounts. I read through the comments and it turns out that MANY customers have been trying to contact Lime Crime about fraudulent charges on their accounts after making purchases on their website since OCTOBER. Thankfully, I made my last purchase through PayPal but I was very alarmed when I first found out and I noticed you said you purchased the velvetine about two months ago which was shortly after when the comments started to show up and Lime Crime has only now addressed it. I just thought I would let you know if you weren't already informed. It saddens me that their is so much controversy revolving this company because I was a huge fan of their products and while it is common for hacking to occur (like it did with Target last year), it adds a lot more to the Lime Crime controversy. I am not trying to spread anymore negativity as I am someone who previously really liked the brand, but I think people should just be aware.
Thanks girl! I've just seen so many nasty comments on Instagram regarding the subject and I know it's good to speak out but it's like damned if you do, damned if you don't with this case. But when it comes to people stealing hard earned money due to a company's neglect, I think it definitely needs to be brought to people's attention. I'm glad I wasn't affected but I feel for everyone that was and I still feel uneasy because I'm not sure if I had saved my cc info on their website in the past. I only recently started using PayPal for everything and I'm SO glad I did!!
I had over $1,500AUD taken from my account the night before I was going on vacation, so I literally cried so hard. Now that I know where it went wrong, I am so upset. I love Lime Crime, but hate what has been happening
Wow girl I'm so sorry you had to go through that, it's so upsetting. Literally none of the liquid lipsticks I've tried compare in formula or longevity but I just can't feel right supporting a company that has such bad business practices like this. It definitely serves as a lesson for all of us though to always use PayPal. I really hope you can get your money back.
honestly, doe deere is such a shady person, she's done some terrible things and I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually just her taking the money. that being said, I did bite the bullet and purchase cashmere, even though I didn't want to support her or her company, I just couldn't find anything like it so the makeup addict in me told me to just do it. And I DO love cashmere but now that every company ever seems to be jumping on the liquid matte lipstick bandwagon I know I won't be re-purchasing.
being super pale, I know the feeelz girl. and this is probably weird but I line my lips with anastasia brow wiz in taupe and I feel like I look a lot less corpse-like when I do that. I usually never go for nudes that don't have strong pink undertones but I love cashmere!
I suggest people watch Stephanie Nicole's video on all the rumors ... I personally think its been exaggerated upon and people need to think before they write something down... correlation is not always causation and not everything people say online is true.
R Gerber So true ! Doe Deer doesn’t ever own LC anymore. She’s on the board though. But they’ve changed management and on their way into the light from out of their very dark past.
I think it's ridiculous how some people here are all up on their high horse calling out LC and the owner, yet they will still purchase from people like Jeffree Star and get hella defensive about him and his character. smh. ☕🐸
I've been looking into these "make up controversies" of the past few weeks and from my observations, fans/customers are more likely to tear down a brand depending on how big the personality is and if they are male or female. Female headed brands/you tubers seem to get no mercy from their fans.
it's so sad, bc a lot of people made up stories during the LC thing ("they purposely let their security lapse!!" etc.) and refused to do any research but a video comes out of Jeffree straight up harassing a woman on the street and throwing out the n-word like it's candy and they all go, "Oh but that was in the past" "He was young" blah blah blah
+SpinnyChair absolutely. I stayed away from the brand for two years based on all the "facts" everyone was yelling about on RUclips. Then I saw Stephanie Nicole's video which made me do my own research. Some shit that went down was no cool. Has she tried to fix it? Absolutely. As far as everything is concerned I think it's really fucked all the rumours that are blatant lies that have come out about her. People threw her and the company under the bus. So sad.
They're so pretty, but after the recent breach in security where I heard horror stories like bank accounts being drained of all the money because of "hackers", supposedly, I have no desire to buy these. :/
I am in love with cashmere but unfortunately i'm also one of the people that got "hacked". My credit card claims i used $2500 on limecrime wtf??!!! Not gonna repurchase, sadly.
I am so upset over hearing all the money being stolen straight out of people's cards. That's hard earned money being so shamelessly taken and I'm just alarmed that the situation has being happening for so long and they haven't found out or even announced what has been happening exactly. I understand fraud happens all the time but the thing is the LC owner is also very shady and I would not give my money to a company ran by someone who does such things as apparently make fake charities to fund her lavish vacations as I read on another comment. I hope u the best with this, love. Nobody deserves this!
My bank solved it and refund my money. This is actually one of my favorite brand in terms of matte liquid lipstick.. But i'm not gonna take the risk of buying it from their website.
They look incredible! Haha your little expressions cracked me up...after reading about the fraudulent nature of the company I'm nervous about ordering! x
My card got hacked because of limecrime ! $2,000 that I was saving and so proud of. I cried for hours I would not be surprised if the owner is taking everyone's money. I tried reaching out to them and nothing! Horrible company don't care how good the lipsticks are I do not SUPPORT lime crime at all now :(
If you do order from their website, pay through PayPal. People have been reporting that they noticed fraudulent charges on their credit cards after ordering from Lime Crime. Their servers aren't secure, I guess. Also, if you have any problems with your order, good luck - I've heard a lot of people (including Kathleen in the video) say that their customer service sucks. I'd personally just give LC a pass if I were you.
Please look up like crime scandal and everything cruel the owner has done before you consider buying from them. These all look so pretty but the owner has done so much it's not worth it to me.
SO, I'm not big on leaving comments on any one's uploads normally, but I've been watching your videos for a while now (I've only started watching YT videos frequently about a year ago) so within the past 2 or 3 months I discovered you and I just wanted to say that I love you and your videos, and I think lip swatch week is cute and a great idea so honestly screw whoever doesn't like em! Haha but really you're doing great on here and you seem the most real out of Anyone else I really watch on here. So with that being said, keep up the great work and thank you for all your posting :) !
FDA send them a warning letter because they use unsafe ingredients in the Velvetines. It is not a rumor you can check FDA website, the letter is public. Lime Crime say it was a "misprint" but false labeling is a crime too, they were irresponsible for not checking. I have seen some people complaining about a lip rash, so I personally think they do include the harmful ingredients.
Cashmere and Suedeberry look AMAZING with your makeup today. I agree their customer service is AWFUL. Their products are very inconsistent across the board. Two friends and I ordered a bunch of stuff together, including multiples of some products. They all shipped together and none of our colors swatched the same or had the same consistency. I thought it was weird and called. I was told to ship back anything I wanted to be looked at. I did. They never responded in the time they said they would. When I did finally call them, they refused to replace anything and blamed everything on us. They would not send the products back unless I paid shipping and would not issue a refund. I was even told I lied about receiving the package directly from the carrier because the products "must have" been left in the sun.
Here are some other liquid lipsticks on the market if you want to avoid Lime Crime xx - Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick - Sephora Cream Lip Stain - Too Faced Melted Liquid Lipstick - Smashbox Lip Lacquer - Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick - Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick - Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro - Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick - Revlon Colorstay Liquid Lipstick - Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge - Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream - Chanel Rouge Allure Laque - Bite Beauty Cashmere Lip Cream - Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color - Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer - L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paint - City Color Cosmetics Creamy Lip Stain - Dose Of Colors Matte Lipstick - Chi Chi Creamy Matte Liquid Lipstick
I just picked up the OCC matte lip tar in Sebastian because I heard it was a good doupe. The Velvetines are always sold out anyways, and I was tired of waiting haha
Marilyn Woods here's a link to a history of the company and all the terrible stuff they've done: homoarigato.tumblr.com/post/111031417315/rippingupthedisco-rippingupthedisco-psa-dont
I got cashmere when it came out and I was really excited to wear it cause the swatches of it looked gorgeous, sadly with my pale skin and really pale lips it makes me look even more corpse like lol
how in the world did you manage to take off all the colors without you bleeding your lippy off!!!!! I was trying to take casmere and i swore i took of my first 6 layers of lip skin :-(
You're the only beauty guru I've seen who always has the best music in their vids. Not the super upbeat pop/dubstep stuff and not the overused tunes but something soothing, original and nice.
I wish they sold limecrime in sephora or ulta.. I would love to buy these but they've had way too many problems with their site. Maybe I'll just buy like a throw away debit card from like Walmart and load the money im gonna spend on there and buy it that way? Lol. Hmmm.
Actually they did have these on Sephora for like a minute! I bought 2 of these but after so many people protested to Sephora about this horrible & shady company Sephora removed lime crime from their website ... I have to say that after hearing about all of this ...I will not be supporting this company ...I even had a bad experience with lime crime at last years NYC IMATS ... Ugh no ... I won't support this horrible company again & with all these other companies releasing liquid lip sticks lime crime could seriously go straight to hell!! This is really too much right now ... The CEO is shady & dishonest & is just a nasty person! & now this? People being robbed of their hard earned money? Nope unacceptable in my book 👎 I wouldn't be at all surprised that it was Lime Crime behind the "hacking" of people's info and its this crazy CEO who stole everyone's money
The only lip color I want from them is cashmere so if somebody else makes a lip color dupe for that I would be soooo happy. But yeah there's just too much bullshit going on with that company which is why I haven't bought anything from them.
The chick that runs Lime Crime is sooo sketchy. I'm astounded anyone still buys anything from her. The colours and quality vary by batch because it's all cheap stuff that gets repackaged for her, she's labeled them as vegan but half of the products aren't made with vegan ingredients, and she tries to control peoples' ratings and reviews, to the point where I'd be amazed if she doesn't threaten Kathleen with legal action for saying their customer service is shit, which it is. I'm ashamed I ever bought anything from them, I got rid of the one lipstick and shadow palette I bought when I found out about this crap. It's cute packaging, but it makes me feel dirty having it in my home.
I was on vacation when you did lip swatch week and I told myself I would watch the whole series without buying anything.... I was doing so well, until now!!!
Limecrime's security breach is probably the LEAST shadiest thing they have done. and the reason it was so bad is because it only happened because doe deere knowingly refused to pay for her customers to be protected. Repeatedly. (I'm not one of the people who believes she was stealing the money herself, but I will throw that theory out there because they are truly a pathetic establishment and I wouldn't put it past her). Her response to customers was just disgusting. Pick a response, they are almost all unprofessional and overly defensive. Doe deere very obviously does not care about her customers, but I would even argue based on several of her comments that she looks down on them and thinks she is entitled to their money. She has called them idiots for buying her products on several occasions. REPACKAGING cheap products, more than once, and pretending its an exclusive and original product!? How much lower can you even go? Getting a warning from the FDA about an ingredient that shouldn't be in lipstick at all and then whining that the ingredient isn't illegal in other countries as if that means anything, and then claiming that the ingredients got misprinted and it was never in there as if any of those things are any better than the other or even slightly ok!?!? And I thought the batch of lip gloss containing human hair that she sent out was bad. I could trust counterfeit makeup from outside the asian market downtown more. Especially since the videos she made of her "creating" her makeup were obviously staged and showed her making several mistakes that even an amateur wouldn't look over. And it's a good thing you liked these or you probably would have gotten the threats and harsh treatment other bloggers experienced for having a negative opinion. oh, and my question a few lines ago about how low you can go? doe deere answered already. She is SUCH the humanitarian she has held fundraisers for animal shelters......that don't even exist!!! There is NO good reason to support the company, period. Everyone deserves a second chance?? ok, normally I would agree, BUT shes on her fifth chance AT LEAST!! Lime crime is pathetic, disgusting, and a blight of the beauty world.
When people were telling her about how their money got stolen she said that her products weren't for poor people or something along those lines. Awful thing to say
They didn't do the security breach, there were hackers and hackers specifically hack the site at the most popular times, like when theres a new release. Lime crime didn't let it happen.
+Aleena Perez that's actually not true, they didn't "not pay" even sony has security breaches. That rumor was totally made up It doesn't even make sense.
You guys need to quit coming after me. Because seriously, it was YOUR fault that you idiots were stupid enough to spend $16 for a gram of product. But how can I blame you? My products are second to none in quality. Beautiful, whimsical colors in designer packaging. If you're too poor to buy my products, then go elsewhere and spend less and get a low quality product. You don't deserve to use Lime Crime - Google that quote from Doe Deere. This company makes me sick. I'm not hating on you at all girl because you are bomb dot com, but I feel like if more people knew the truth about Lime Crime, they wouldn't support the company. Not only does LC have TERRIBLE customer service, they've also been known to buy cheap wholesale makeup and just repackage it and sell it as a "custom, high end" product.
ALSO...the creator of Lime Crime has admitted to stealing, and even went as far as setting up a fake charity claiming money donated would support an animal shelter...the animal shelter wasn't even real!!!!!! One last thing, not sure if it's still like this, but at one point the products claimed to be "vegan", yet they contained beeswax and carmine/cochineal (crushed bugs - often used to produce a red dye) Anyways, Kathleen you're AMAZING and I cannot wait for your Colourpop eye shadows!!!!!!!!
I found you on RUclips because of your anxiety video and I cried along with you the entire time (my parents also went through a divorce and that was the start of my anxiety. I actually egged my dads car I was so frustrated!) but it really hit home. You're such a sweet, genuine, real person and I LOVE that you do high end AND drugstore. A certain few of my old favorite bloggers have stopped all drugstore videos and really let the fame change them. So I'm glad I found you on here and you just gained a new subscriber
I would never give my money to a shady company like Lime Crime. I'd much rather spend that money on Makeup Geek products because Marlena actually works her ass off to make her company great!
KathleenLights They're great products, the company has issues but I think the business just grew faster than they could handle. Try Australis Velour Lips they are near-identical and loads of colours.
Marta Jary It's one thing if they grew too fast and were honest about it, but the chick that runs it is sooo sketchy. I'm astounded anyone still buys anything from her. The colours vary by batch because it's all cheap stuff that gets repackaged for her, she's labeled them as vegan but half of the products aren't made with vegan ingredients, and she tries to control peoples' ratings and reviews, to the point where I'd be amazed if she doesn't threaten Kathleen with legal action for saying their customer service is shit, which it is. I'm ashamed I ever bought anything from them, I got rid of the one lipstick and shadow palette I bought when I found out about this crap.
Kels Bentley I've heard some negative things true but I've also seen some things get blown way out of proportion. There are bigger companies doing worse things and yet indies seem to get way more hate.
WTF!? Daaamn your #LipSwatchWeek just saved your subscribers hundreds and by the looks of it even thousands of dollars from this fraud ass company! Good thing everyone commented their experiences with lime crime. You're a low key hero Kathleen! Lol! What a shame because all of these liquid lipsticks were my favorite on you.
I am LOVING lip swatch week!!! I would love you to do some more in the future featuring other products/brands you didn't get a chance to swatch this time. Please ignore the haters - I am lipstick OBSESSED and am constantly trying to hunt down swatches on blogs, etc. So for me, your channel this week has been AMAZING! Thank you beautiful xo
I love these swatch videos! You are doing a GREAT job! I just wanted to say that I appreciate the fact that you took a few peoples suggestion of smiling, so we can see how the colors affect the look of your teeth! Super helpful and I always appreciate when you tubers take viewer advice! You are really great about getting back to us too! Especially when you have so many of us watching and commenting! You brighten my day every time you post a video! Just thought I would let you know that you are appreciated! Lots of love!
Girl your foundation always looks FLAWLESS! I loved your Kat chat video about marrying young, I have yet to find a beauty youtuber who doesn't say "stay single and live your life" My husband pulled me out of a horrible situation just like yours did for you. Your an inspiration! Love you!
I watch the videos mostly to see you try new products and create gorgeous makeup looks as opposed to the products themselves. These colors are gorgeous, although lately I feel as though most brands are coming out with the same shades, I guess there's only so many colors that can be created for lips. Thank you for posting!
Hey Kathleen - just wanted to know that I LOVE lip swatch week! I watch all your videos but I have loved this and it's been SO helpful and I love the style of video you used to do these as well - thank you!
oh my! i can only imagine the effort you put into making these lip swatches. it must be hard to take off all the dark lipstick and make your face look flawless for next colour! you look beautiful as always and i fell in love with this brand!
I love that you were honest about Limecrime's Customer Service! I actually got Suedeberry based on the other tut you did. Its not as neon red on me as it is on you but Its still awesome and gets compliments. Everything looks so good on you Kathleen!
I've only ever ordered limecrime products through the Urban Outfitters website. Limecrime has always been a sketchy company and I've never felt comfortable ordering straight from them due to their bad customer service, but I do still enjoy the products so I think Urban Outfitters is the safest way to get limecrime right now. I've never had a bad experience with Urban and their customer service is always top quality. They don't carry all of the velvetine colors but they have most of them! They have the lipsticks and eyeliners too!
I love this series that you are doing! Your videos are so organized and you hit on the key points, and don't drag it out into a 10 minute or so video. I love everything about this series, from how you switch from high end to drug store, to starting the videos with the swatches, and your pure, genuine honesty! Please do more of these in the future! Great work! =)
Hey guys! I hope you are enjoying lip swatch week!! I have recently heard weird things about limecrime! What is up with this company?!? I'm so NOT aware?
PS- These videos were all pre recorded (since I'm in the process of moving) and when I went to edit Saturday's video, the files were corrupted (cries in corner) I KNOW so many of you were looking forward to the too faced melted lipsticks!!!! I'm so sorry' THE SECOND I get all settled in to my new place im going to film that video and post it. Don't hate meeeee

Omg!!!!! Wtf. I'm NOT EVEN KIDDING RIGHT NOW.. I just had a fraud on my card a couple of days ago. I had to deactivate it! I wonder if it was cause of LC!!!! Wow.
I hate it when that happens and companies don't tell their consumers!
I love lip swatch week because I've been debating whether to purchase new lip products and this is a big help!
Who the hell is tired of lip swatch week? I AM SO LOVING ME SOME LIP SWATCHES tbh.
Same girl same! Haha
The music makes me feel like I'm in a Jeep Wrangler driving full speed through a jungle or desert or whatever with the wind blowing through my hair about to go on the adventure of my life. I love it. Lol
Lmao!!! I see it
hahaha! I can totally picture that!
It reminds me of The Wild Thornberry's!
Lmao!!! I seriously thought the same things pictured myself on a river or something driving a boat at full speed with my hair blowing in the wind outgoing through a jungle
This made me laugh so hard, but it's so true 😂😂
Does anyone else find it super unfair how she suits every single colour
Lip Swatch week is everything!! Thank you for doing this Kathleen :)
Thank you for watching!!
Yup!!! I'm loving It
Hi Kathleen,
I normally am not very comfortable commenting on controversial subjects and I'm honestly not sure how I feel about Lime Crime anymore, but I loved the velvetines they were my first liquid lipsticks I ever tried and the formula was also my favorite.

Girl, telling the truth and exposing fraud is NEVER negative! Just remember that. :)

And I DO love cashmere but now that every company ever seems to be jumping on the liquid matte lipstick bandwagon I know I won't be re-purchasing.
Cashmere is such a pretty color! Although, I feel like if I tried to wear it, I would look dead lol.
That's how I feel when I wear it!
KathleenLights Don't worry, I feel your struggle lol.
Did it to me too!! But you should use a brown lip liner and shade it so it looks like an ombré lip! It works really well :)
being super pale, I know the feeelz girl. and this is probably weird but I line my lips with anastasia brow wiz in taupe and I feel like I look a lot less corpse-like when I do that. I usually never go for nudes that don't have strong pink undertones but I love cashmere!
I even went back and replayed the cashmere swatch. It is so beautiful, but I doubt I could pull it off with my fair skin and red hair lol.
I suggest people watch Stephanie Nicole's video on all the rumors ... I personally think its been exaggerated upon and people need to think before they write something down... correlation is not always causation and not everything people say online is true.
Thats what i was saying 😂
R Gerber So true ! Doe Deer doesn’t ever own LC anymore. She’s on the board though. But they’ve changed management and on their way into the light from out of their very dark past.
Can you please EXPLAIN HOW THE HECK EVERY COLOR LOOKS FLAWLESS ON YOU.....what the heck! I'm sitting here jealous of how much perfection you possess!
She s gorgeous
I think it's ridiculous how some people here are all up on their high horse calling out LC and the owner, yet they will still purchase from people like Jeffree Star and get hella defensive about him and his character. smh. ☕🐸
I've been looking into these "make up controversies" of the past few weeks and from my observations, fans/customers are more likely to tear down a brand depending on how big the personality is and if they are male or female. Female headed brands/you tubers seem to get no mercy from their fans.
+Mia Sarah Barghini yes!!🙌🙌
it's so sad, bc a lot of people made up stories during the LC thing ("they purposely let their security lapse!!" etc.) and refused to do any research but a video comes out of Jeffree straight up harassing a woman on the street and throwing out the n-word like it's candy and they all go, "Oh but that was in the past" "He was young" blah blah blah

+sam sun thank you!!! Jeffree and his disciples actually kind of freak me out
They're so pretty, but after the recent breach in security where I heard horror stories like bank accounts being drained of all the money because of "hackers", supposedly, I have no desire to buy these. :/
Also, your story about the bad batch also turns me off. :/ I don't have disposable money for a company that has no quality control. Sucks.
You can always purchase them from Urban Outfitter's website. :-) It might be a lot safer to go that route.
Laura Neuzeth That's a good idea! Thank you so much!
I'm kinda freaked out. I pre recorded this before I heard all the weird news
KathleenLights It is freaky :(
How can anyone not like lip swatch week?!!! I'm loving it!
I am in love with cashmere but unfortunately i'm also one of the people that got "hacked". My credit card claims i used $2500 on limecrime wtf??!!! Not gonna repurchase, sadly.
Sorry to hear that :/ hope you get that resolved
I am so upset over hearing all the money being stolen straight out of people's cards.

I forgot to mention, they have the worst customer service, period.
sorry hun,i hope u were refunded.
I honestly think she would be an amazing model
I totally agree!!
She is not tall!
+SH0dah She could be celebrity instead 😂
You totally could pull of being Ariel, the little mermaid.
Who doesn't love lip swatch week? It's great! You're a star Kathleen!
They look incredible! Haha your little expressions cracked me up...after reading about the fraudulent nature of the company I'm nervous about ordering! x
Please don't love, to much drama for one company.
Not worth the risk. People have each had $2,000 or more taken from them by lime crime
Dont do it
Not worth the risk. Seriously, it is just lipstick! You can get wiped out of your savings!
Melanie Murphy If you really want these, use Paypal!
You literally suit every lip colour but bright red looks AMAZING on you!!
After lip swatch week, can you do a vid on your skin care routine?? Cause your face is flawless.
I love how you're not afraid to be silly in your videos Kathleen! :)
My card got hacked because of limecrime ! $2,000 that I was saving and so proud of. I cried for hours I would not be surprised if the owner is taking everyone's money. I tried reaching out to them and nothing! Horrible company don't care how good the lipsticks are I do not SUPPORT lime crime at all now :(
Call your bank girl!!! It happened to me too
Yes call your bank and dispute those charges! Sorry to hear that you were hacked!
OH MY GOD IT HAPPENED TO BOTH OF YOU?!! 2000$ THATS SUCKS!!!!
THAT IS PLAIN AWFUL!!!
me too!!! they got to both my debit card and credit card
This what a swatch video should look like...refreshing and professionally edited
I NEED to try LimeCrime:( they're all so beautiful especially pansy i can't even
If you do order from their website, pay through PayPal. People have been reporting that they noticed fraudulent charges on their credit cards after ordering from Lime Crime. Their servers aren't secure, I guess.
Also, if you have any problems with your order, good luck - I've heard a lot of people (including Kathleen in the video) say that their customer service sucks. I'd personally just give LC a pass if I were you.
Yeah, don't worry, i'll probably wait till all of that is over with/if ever, no lipstick is worth that much hassle! Thanks for your advice!xxx
I think you can order lime crime from the urban outfitters website. And it's probably much safer :)
Please look up like crime scandal and everything cruel the owner has done before you consider buying from them. These all look so pretty but the owner has done so much it's not worth it to me.
Yeah I posted my comment before I read the others, I've looked them up :( so not worth it!
I love Lip Swatch, I cannot get enough of Lip Swatch week! I hope you do this again!
SO, I'm not big on leaving comments on any one's uploads normally, but I've been watching your videos for a while now (I've only started watching YT videos frequently about a year ago) so within the past 2 or 3 months I discovered you and I just wanted to say that I love you and your videos, and I think lip swatch week is cute and a great idea so honestly screw whoever doesn't like em! Haha but really you're doing great on here and you seem the most real out of Anyone else I really watch on here. So with that being said, keep up the great work and thank you for all your posting :) !
MORE! MORE! MORE! I LOOOVVVEEEE LIP SWATCH WEEK!!!! I BOUGHT THE NYX BUTTER LIP GLOSS BECAUSE OF THIS!! WEARING IT RIGHT NOW!!
FDA send them a warning letter because they use unsafe ingredients in the Velvetines. It is not a rumor you can check FDA website, the letter is public. Lime Crime say it was a "misprint" but false labeling is a crime too, they were irresponsible for not checking. I have seen some people complaining about a lip rash, so I personally think they do include the harmful ingredients.
I absolutely love lip swatch week. Gives us all a chance to see all the choices out there. Really enjoying this series.
Cashmere and Suedeberry look AMAZING with your makeup today.
I agree their customer service is AWFUL. Their products are very inconsistent across the board. Two friends and I ordered a bunch of stuff together, including multiples of some products. They all shipped together and none of our colors swatched the same or had the same consistency. I thought it was weird and called. I was told to ship back anything I wanted to be looked at. I did. They never responded in the time they said they would. When I did finally call them, they refused to replace anything and blamed everything on us. They would not send the products back unless I paid shipping and would not issue a refund. I was even told I lied about receiving the package directly from the carrier because the products "must have" been left in the sun.
Kathleen, efff those who don't like lip swatch week, keep up the good work, I love you !

It really stinks that this company is shady because cashmere is calling my name... Too bad...
I know right
Feel you. :(
I just picked up the OCC matte lip tar in Sebastian because I heard it was a good doupe. The Velvetines are always sold out anyways, and I was tired of waiting haha
Why are they shady? I was interested in a couple after this video, but not if the company is shady.
Marilyn Woods here's a link to a history of the company and all the terrible stuff they've done: homoarigato.tumblr.com/post/111031417315/rippingupthedisco-rippingupthedisco-psa-dont
Finally a video of swatches on natural lips without all those horrible fillers😍 you look beautiful x
I got cashmere when it came out and I was really excited to wear it cause the swatches of it looked gorgeous, sadly with my pale skin and really pale lips it makes me look even more corpse like lol
I love how creative you are with Lip Swatch Week & appreciate all the hard work you put in to show us these products!!!!
xoxo
how in the world did you manage to take off all the colors without you bleeding your lippy off!!!!! I was trying to take casmere and i swore i took of my first 6 layers of lip skin :-(
Olive oil! Dab a little on the lips and take a paper towel and it should come off a lot easier
Pao Gon you can also use coconut oil :)
MACs cleanse off oil is LIFE! You can get a small one to try out for 10 bucks and it actually lasts a long time for me!
You're the only beauty guru I've seen who always has the best music in their vids. Not the super upbeat pop/dubstep stuff and not the overused tunes but something soothing, original and nice.
I wish they sold limecrime in sephora or ulta.. I would love to buy these but they've had way too many problems with their site. Maybe I'll just buy like a throw away debit card from like Walmart and load the money im gonna spend on there and buy it that way? Lol. Hmmm.
ugh girl i agree i want these so bad Krissy Bennett
Actually they did have these on Sephora for like a minute! I bought 2 of these but after so many people protested to Sephora about this horrible & shady company Sephora removed lime crime from their website ... I have to say that after hearing about all of this ...I will not be supporting this company ...I even had a bad experience with lime crime at last years NYC IMATS ... Ugh no ... I won't support this horrible company again & with all these other companies releasing liquid lip sticks lime crime could seriously go straight to hell!! This is really too much right now ... The CEO is shady & dishonest & is just a nasty person! & now this? People being robbed of their hard earned money? Nope unacceptable in my book 👎 I wouldn't be at all surprised that it was Lime Crime behind the "hacking" of people's info and its this crazy CEO who stole everyone's money
Yup, they actually did have this at Sephora. But they stopped selling it cuz everyone was so upset!
The only lip color I want from them is cashmere so if somebody else makes a lip color dupe for that I would be soooo happy. But yeah there's just too much bullshit going on with that company which is why I haven't bought anything from them.
they sell them through urban outfitters!
I am sooooo glad you are doing lip swatch week! I don't want it to end :( You can seriously pull off every single color I swear!!
Waited all day
Minty Puma me too haha
Thank you for asking questions Kathleen, you don't have to call anyone out but it's great to see you are trying to stay informed.
Never bought anything from Lime Crime before and now I DEFINITELY won't if they have poor customer service!
It's really crappy
The chick that runs Lime Crime is sooo sketchy. I'm astounded anyone still buys anything from her. The colours and quality vary by batch because it's all cheap stuff that gets repackaged for her, she's labeled them as vegan but half of the products aren't made with vegan ingredients, and she tries to control peoples' ratings and reviews, to the point where I'd be amazed if she doesn't threaten Kathleen with legal action for saying their customer service is shit, which it is. I'm ashamed I ever bought anything from them, I got rid of the one lipstick and shadow palette I bought when I found out about this crap. It's cute packaging, but it makes me feel dirty having it in my home.
wowww wow like that fucking nuts O.O
I was on vacation when you did lip swatch week and I told myself I would watch the whole series without buying anything.... I was doing so well, until now!!!
Come on Kat wat about Sephora Lipstains,KVD and Jeffree Star liquid lipsticks.....
Lip swatch week has quickly become one of my favorite type of video you've made! Keep them coming!!
Limecrime's security breach is probably the LEAST shadiest thing they have done. and the reason it was so bad is because it only happened because doe deere knowingly refused to pay for her customers to be protected. Repeatedly. (I'm not one of the people who believes she was stealing the money herself, but I will throw that theory out there because they are truly a pathetic establishment and I wouldn't put it past her). Her response to customers was just disgusting. Pick a response, they are almost all unprofessional and overly defensive. Doe deere very obviously does not care about her customers, but I would even argue based on several of her comments that she looks down on them and thinks she is entitled to their money. She has called them idiots for buying her products on several occasions. REPACKAGING cheap products, more than once, and pretending its an exclusive and original product!? How much lower can you even go? Getting a warning from the FDA about an ingredient that shouldn't be in lipstick at all and then whining that the ingredient isn't illegal in other countries as if that means anything, and then claiming that the ingredients got misprinted and it was never in there as if any of those things are any better than the other or even slightly ok!?!? And I thought the batch of lip gloss containing human hair that she sent out was bad. I could trust counterfeit makeup from outside the asian market downtown more. Especially since the videos she made of her "creating" her makeup were obviously staged and showed her making several mistakes that even an amateur wouldn't look over. And it's a good thing you liked these or you probably would have gotten the threats and harsh treatment other bloggers experienced for having a negative opinion. oh, and my question a few lines ago about how low you can go? doe deere answered already. She is SUCH the humanitarian she has held fundraisers for animal shelters......that don't even exist!!! There is NO good reason to support the company, period. Everyone deserves a second chance?? ok, normally I would agree, BUT shes on her fifth chance AT LEAST!! Lime crime is pathetic, disgusting, and a blight of the beauty world.
When people were telling her about how their money got stolen she said that her products weren't for poor people or something along those lines. Awful thing to say
Unreasonable company indeed. Rather buy a Colourpop.
They didn't do the security breach, there were hackers and hackers specifically hack the site at the most popular times, like when theres a new release. Lime crime didn't let it happen.
Jordan Wolcott
they let it happen by choosing not to pay for security measures to prevent it
+Aleena Perez that's actually not true, they didn't "not pay" even sony has security breaches. That rumor was totally made up It doesn't even make sense.
I'm loving lip swatch week! Bring on the lip swatchessssss!
What's the name of the song?
lipswatch week is my all time fave 'series' you've done!!! please keep it up, i honestly don't understand how people don't like these?!
You guys need to quit coming after me. Because seriously, it was YOUR fault that you idiots were stupid enough to spend $16 for a gram of product. But how can I blame you? My products are second to none in quality. Beautiful, whimsical colors in designer packaging. If you're too poor to buy my products, then go elsewhere and spend less and get a low quality product. You don't deserve to use Lime Crime
- Google that quote from Doe Deere. This company makes me sick. I'm not hating on you at all girl because you are bomb dot com, but I feel like if more people knew the truth about Lime Crime, they wouldn't support the company. Not only does LC have TERRIBLE customer service, they've also been known to buy cheap wholesale makeup and just repackage it and sell it as a "custom, high end" product.
ALSO...the creator of Lime Crime has admitted to stealing, and even went as far as setting up a fake charity claiming money donated would support an animal shelter...the animal shelter wasn't even real!!!!!! One last thing, not sure if it's still like this, but at one point the products claimed to be "vegan", yet they contained beeswax and carmine/cochineal (crushed bugs - often used to produce a red dye)
Anyways, Kathleen you're AMAZING and I cannot wait for your Colourpop eye shadows!!!!!!!!
I found you on RUclips because of your anxiety video and I cried along with you the entire time (my parents also went through a divorce and that was the start of my anxiety. I actually egged my dads car I was so frustrated!) but it really hit home. You're such a sweet, genuine, real person and I LOVE that you do high end AND drugstore. A certain few of my old favorite bloggers have stopped all drugstore videos and really let the fame change them. So I'm glad I found you on here and you just gained a new subscriber
I have the biggest girl crush on Kathleen. My boyfriend is starting to worry. 😂😂
I love that you are doing lip swatch week it helps me a lot. I hope you keep doing this.
I would never give my money to a shady company like Lime Crime. I'd much rather spend that money on Makeup Geek products because Marlena actually works her ass off to make her company great!
although purple lipstick is typically an iffy color for most, it makes your green eyes stand out and look absolutely gorgeous. love you girl. 💕
These look great on you
The last one really brought out the color in your eyes! Love them all!
GARBAGE COMPANY!!! I hope you didn't buy these
I bought them all :'(
KathleenLights They're great products, the company has issues but I think the business just grew faster than they could handle. Try Australis Velour Lips they are near-identical and loads of colours.
Marta Jary It's one thing if they grew too fast and were honest about it, but the chick that runs it is sooo sketchy. I'm astounded anyone still buys anything from her. The colours vary by batch because it's all cheap stuff that gets repackaged for her, she's labeled them as vegan but half of the products aren't made with vegan ingredients, and she tries to control peoples' ratings and reviews, to the point where I'd be amazed if she doesn't threaten Kathleen with legal action for saying their customer service is shit, which it is. I'm ashamed I ever bought anything from them, I got rid of the one lipstick and shadow palette I bought when I found out about this crap.
Kels Bentley I've heard some negative things true but I've also seen some things get blown way out of proportion. There are bigger companies doing worse things and yet indies seem to get way more hate.
KathleenLights I really hope you used paypal then hun, two of my cards had fraud on them from this company
Its amazing how every single color looks gorgeous on you!!!
Oh and I'm not a fan of the lady who owns (created?) Lime Crime, she is.... offensive :/ But god I want to wear and own all of them D: dilemma
Girl me tooo😩
Steve Jobs was such a horrible person but I love my IPhone !
honestly all of these look amazing on you! I LOVE the 3 darker colors, and Pink Velvet is AMAZING! holy gorgeous Kathleen!
WTF!? Daaamn your #LipSwatchWeek just saved your subscribers hundreds and by the looks of it even thousands of dollars from this fraud ass company! Good thing everyone commented their experiences with lime crime. You're a low key hero Kathleen! Lol! What a shame because all of these liquid lipsticks were my favorite on you.
I should be studying, but lip swatch week is way better and more entertaining than studying:p love you Kathleen
I adore you with my whole heart :')
I adore you right back!
I am LOVING lip swatch week!!! I would love you to do some more in the future featuring other products/brands you didn't get a chance to swatch this time. Please ignore the haters - I am lipstick OBSESSED and am constantly trying to hunt down swatches on blogs, etc. So for me, your channel this week has been AMAZING! Thank you beautiful xo
What I love about you is how honest you are! When you review a product I know for sure you mean what you say (: thanks for that x
I am loving lip swatch week! You always make my night when you post a new video, you are so much fun to watch!
I love this theme week and really love that you are doing swatches first. Love your channel and you girl!
I just want to say I am so loving lip swatch week, thank you so much Kathleen!!!
Oh and thank you for always being real with us! You're my favorite youtuber by far, I adore you so much!
I seriously LOVE lipswatch week Kathleen!!!!!!
Even with only the music playing we can still see your personality shine through haha. Love you Kathleen!
Girl you can pull off any color lipstick in this world! I love them all on you! Your a little doll! Love your videos! Love your personality!!
I'm really happy that u swatched these. They're so gorgeous and I'm dying to try some Lime Crime!!
I've never seen anyone pull off cashmere and salem like you! you look AMAZING!
I love these swatch videos! You are doing a GREAT job! I just wanted to say that I appreciate the fact that you took a few peoples suggestion of smiling, so we can see how the colors affect the look of your teeth! Super helpful and I always appreciate when you tubers take viewer advice! You are really great about getting back to us too! Especially when you have so many of us watching and commenting! You brighten my day every time you post a video! Just thought I would let you know that you are appreciated! Lots of love!
I love lip swatch week! props to you for being creative and coming up with a new concept for a little series :)
i LOOOOVED lip swatch week, and I can't wait for you to do it again!!!
Girl your foundation always looks FLAWLESS! I loved your Kat chat video about marrying young, I have yet to find a beauty youtuber who doesn't say "stay single and live your life" My husband pulled me out of a horrible situation just like yours did for you. Your an inspiration! Love you!
Just finished cleaning up breakfast and I was like oh I have to watch lip swatch week! Love this
I literally just loooove seeing your face almost everyday for an entire week so yassss kathleen! I love lip swatch week!
I've never really been too much of a fan of neutrals/mauves but as soon as I saw cashmere my heart exploded and now I want it.
In every lip swatch video you pull off every single color in the collection i'm so jealous 😭❤️❤️
I watch the videos mostly to see you try new products and create gorgeous makeup looks as opposed to the products themselves. These colors are gorgeous, although lately I feel as though most brands are coming out with the same shades, I guess there's only so many colors that can be created for lips. Thank you for posting!
Some of us are lovinggggg swatch week!!! girl, keep em coming! xoxo!!
Hey Kathleen - just wanted to know that I LOVE lip swatch week! I watch all your videos but I have loved this and it's been SO helpful and I love the style of video you used to do these as well - thank you!
oh my! i can only imagine the effort you put into making these lip swatches. it must be hard to take off all the dark lipstick and make your face look flawless for next colour! you look beautiful as always and i fell in love with this brand!
I love that you were honest about Limecrime's Customer Service! I actually got Suedeberry based on the other tut you did. Its not as neon red on me as it is on you but Its still awesome and gets compliments. Everything looks so good on you Kathleen!
I've only ever ordered limecrime products through the Urban Outfitters website. Limecrime has always been a sketchy company and I've never felt comfortable ordering straight from them due to their bad customer service, but I do still enjoy the products so I think Urban Outfitters is the safest way to get limecrime right now. I've never had a bad experience with Urban and their customer service is always top quality. They don't carry all of the velvetine colors but they have most of them! They have the lipsticks and eyeliners too!
It's official. Every lip color looks amazing on you!
I LOVE lip swatch week!! Please, please, please keep doing it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm super enjoying your lipswatch week!!!!! Please do it more often!!
Lip swatch week is my FAVORITE! 💕
I love this series that you are doing! Your videos are so organized and you hit on the key points, and don't drag it out into a 10 minute or so video. I love everything about this series, from how you switch from high end to drug store, to starting the videos with the swatches, and your pure, genuine honesty! Please do more of these in the future! Great work! =)
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE BEAUTY GURU OUT OF EVERYONE ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love lip swatch week! Keep doing these!
I love lip swatch week! I'm sorry other people don't, but thanks for doing it girl! Love you!
Kathleen, I LOVE Lip Swatch week! This was such a great thing to do!
These colours are so gorgeous, I really like the darker ones. I love lip swatch videos! x
i love lip swatch week! so far i haven't missed a day :)
