Lime Crime True Love Set-


  •   Packaging & price- It was packed in a nice box that you can see- n here's the backside of the box! About price, since it's a replica, i got it for only 350bdt!

  • Color- 
  1. "Cupid"- it's a slight cool under toned pink. A very soft, rosy pink that you feel like to wear when you don't wana look bold and flashy. It's the softest and lightest shade in the true love set. I often wear it when I'm wearing white or very light colored dresses and it simply goes well with pink clothes! It glides very smoothly and the creaminess is very moderate and dries off pretty fast than the "saint" or "True Love".


  • Swatch:

2. True Love- it's the main attraction of the full set. I love this shade the most! It's a coral pink with majenta-ish look and has got a slight hint of orangish undertone, as you can see in the pic.
It looks very vibrant and even from the Tube you can tell, how beautiful the color is! I Just love the warm gorgeous color of it. The texture is quite soft and velvety even as a replica. Dries off after a few minutes of applying and you only need one coat to get the actual color! ^_^ 10/10!!!
  

  • Saint- Saint is a cinnamon brown with slight muave undertone. I Love to wear it with black outfits and also a good to go with skin colored ones or brown shaded clothes! The color TOTALLY varies from one swatch to another. It Looks very light, warm and soft, tawny brown when applied as one coat. But, if you apply it for a few caots, you can see the deep chocolaty brown with more of cinnamon kind shade! I wasn't so hyped up about this color form this shade. But somehow ended up liking it more than cupid and it's my second favorite after True Love!

MUA Luxe Reckless:
  •  Color- From top of the tube, it seems like Deep, cool Red, like you can see in the image below-
  • But when you open the tube, you get to see the this is a medium red, with a blue undertone, (the color in this second lot of MUA Reckless differs a lot from the previous one, which was a very deep maroon, like- Cabernet(red wine) type color. And this time, the color is a lot lighter and not the deep, red wine kinda gorgeous shade anymore. Still it's a nice color, but not the exact desired shade.
  •  Color- Mainly it's a cool red, with a blue undertone, but the color in this second lot differs a lot from the previous one, which was a very deep maroon..Cabernet(red wine) type color. And this time, the color is a lot lighter and not the deep, red wine kinda gorgeous shade anymore. Still it's a nice color, but not the exact desired shade.
  • In my old blog post, about the previous lot, i had mentioned- "It's one of the precious colors of Red, that I own so far! The mesmerizing cool toned maroon with a velvety look made me bound to get this just the moment I saw this on the website" But, this time it is not the same for me! I'll try to search for the old lot if i can! Or i'll try to get the "Milani amore matte lip cream- Devotion" which kinda matches to the older version of MUA Reckless.
 
  • Look & Feel-  As usual it has a matte finish after applying for a while. But, this time, it didn't feel that drying like- powdery matte and kinda creamy feeling at first few minutes on my lips. I rather felt the replicas of Lime Crime were drier than this and felt powdery matte. The swatch faded really fast after rubbing, when applied as one coat swatch on my hand. But on lips, it stays for a pretty long time without flaking or caking! As a whole good product!
  • It transfers very less and only while having food (oily, to be more specific I had chow-min) & it seemed to fade a little, but other than that, with dry food like cookies and other things like drinking water, it's perfectly alright and for removing it, i had to apply the same technique like removing it with Vaseline or make up removing agent
  • Swatch: Here's the swatch of MUA Reckless with a comparison with my Rioza Red and you will see the slight difference of cool undertone & thinner texture with the Rioza Red beside this (which is more of warm red and thicker). 




    •  Packaging- Unlike previous MUA Luxe Reckless, which used to come in this black and golden colored packet, this one comes in a simple plastic wrap, and the whole tube and cap also looks different. Though the basic tube is still that frosty but a little clear may be, which creates a velvet from outside. And the golden cap also makes it seem more gorgeous than previous packaging.The price remains same though!



  • My Rating- After using this batch of MUA Reckless, i am not overwhelmingly happy about it. My all over rating would be 7.5 out of 10 this time.
