I have had my eye on Limnit Lipsticks for many months, but I waited too long and they pulled the tubes because of slight issues with consistency. I am not a fan of pots because I am lazy and I prefer applying from a tube than with a brush! So I patiently waited for them to re-formulate the tubes…

However on 14th February they had a sale on all shades, so I picked up 9 that I thought I’d use the most. On 16th February my order shipped, and on 25th February they arrived at my house in the UK. One of the fastest TATs I have experienced with indies to date!

The branding is really professional in appearance which I appreciate. All the pots are neatly labelled top and bottom and a business card was included with the ingredients for the new formula (for Goodness Graycious only).

Anyway, onto the good stuff – the swatches!

Petal to the Metal is described as

A bold melon-pink, the intensity of this color comes from its lightness and semi-matte finish

Not sure I would call this a melon pink, but it’s a very pretty pastel pink.

The Fuchsia is Now is described as

A medium, cool pink that is very versatile

Yep, spot on. It’s actually not very fuchsia which I appreciate, but it’s a gorgeous mid-pink.

Swept Away is described as

Teetering between a medium mauve and cool pink

This is a lovely dusty, mauvey pink. I think I’ll wear this a lot.

Castle in the Sky currently out of stock, but it is a very rich mid purple. Colours like this tend to make me look a little sickly but I am going to see how this works on me.

Punk’in is described as

A bright and bold orange-red, similar to the skin of a ripe pumpkin,

Which it definitely is. This is gloriously orange in the best possible way! I can’t wait to wear this one.

Ms. President is currently out of stock but it’s a brick red. A classic shade and very wearable on most skin tones. A staple for sure!

Olly Olly Oxen Free is currently out of stock, but it’s meant to be a rich oxblood berry. On my arm swatch, this leans very red on me with no hint of berry, which I was a little disappointed with. However as you will see from the lip swatch below, it is absolutely gorgeous once applied.

Goodness Graycious is currently out of stock but it is a very wearable grey. This is in the new formula. As you can see from the swatch, this doesn’t dry down to a semi matte finish, it seems to stay fairly satin-sheen.

Deepest Taupes and Dreams is currently out of stock but is a surprisingly wearable cool brown-black. I am currently wearing this and from afar it looks black, but without looking harsh against my NC15 complexion.

Wear time is phenomenal – I applied Olly Olly Oxen Free at 7AM and after only one touch-up at lunch time it is still looking great at 7PM. There is slight fading in the centre of my lips but it’s very minimal.

I firmly swiped each shade with tissue after I’d taken photos. None of these were completely dry yet they all stuck around to some degree. In my opinion longevity and staining with lip products is a positive for me so I’m very happy these were all so stubborn.

The formula is comfortable to wear and the finish is definitely matte, but without making me look dehydrated. It’s incredibly pigmented – nearly all swatches were opaque in one swipe. I know that the formula has been changed and will be rolled out soon because of the grainy texture some experienced with the tubes, but I think I prefer the old formula. Possibly the new formula will be better for the tubes, and I will definitely be purchasing full sizes in many shades as soon as they out.

I was so excited to try this brand and now I’m even more excited to wear them all! Great customer service, great prices, and amazing products.

Thanks for reading, and as always let me know if you’ve tried this brand,
