Lime Crime Alchemy Collection

Posted on September 25, 2012 by Allura

Release Date: October 13, 2012
Availability: Lime Crime

Company’s Description

October 13th, Lime Crime will release a makeup collection unlike any other. Inspired by the swirling transmutations of an alchemist’s potion, ALCHEMY will materialize at midnight in the form of an eyeshadow palette, two lipsticks and a “mook”. Five duochromatic eyeshadows, shifting from one color to another depending on the angle, are a first for Lime Crime. Lipsticks, while retaining the same color-intense formula the brand is known for, will boast a lustrous finish reminiscent of the skin of a wet snake: also a first. Rounding out the concoction is the Alchemy “mook”: a collectible, limited-edition magazine/book featuring a magical photostory with a bonus section of ‘Beauty Potions’ for every practitioner’s fancy.

The face of the collection is the bewitching songstress and style icon, Lola Blanc.

**Update** This collection is now live! For the month of October only, you can get all of the items in the collection for $49.99 ($66.95 value).

Lime Crime’s upcoming Alchemy collection features a new duo-chromatic eyeshadow palette and two lipstick colors. Keep reading for color descriptions and images!

Oh, and by the way, there are a few of Lime Crime’s Magical Dust Eyeshadows still in stock at 50% off!
