While neither my first nor last Lime Crime lipstick, Glamour 101 might be one of my favorite lipsticks of all time. A gorgeous, luscious red, it truly applies opaque in one coat directly from the bullet and lasts for hours, even through eating and drinking. It's unbelievably creamy, smooth, and it smells delicious--think vanilla cupcake frosting (yum!).
The actual written description is EXACTLY what the lipstick appears to be in the tube. Despite what color the swatch image looks like on your screen, I would like to point out that different computer monitors change the swatch color completely--it looks the same on my lips as on my laptop screen, but on my desktop, it looks like a different, very blue based lipstick altogether.
I have a fair, olive-toned complexion that evens the color out from looking too "brick" on me, but rather makes it that perfect retro red. My lip pigmentation also gives it the tiniest pink quality. As with any cosmetic, you'll never know exactly what it looks like until you try it on yourself. I can say definitively, though, no matter what the color appears to you, that this lipstick is of excellent quality and offers fantastic pigmentation and coverage.
