Everything you need to know about the zeitgeist-y vegan beauty brand

Sound the new make-up klaxon, because Lime Crime has officially touched down on UK soil.

Founded by Doe Deere in 2008, the brand is about as colourful and fun as you could possibly get, while its name is a nod to Deere's favourite colour, green.

Every product in the line is carefully thought out, vegan and cruelty free, ticking all the boxes for modern make-up lovers.

Lime Crime has just taken up permanent residence in Selfridges, so allow us to take you on a whistle stop tour of their greatest hits that should definitely add to your beauty arsenal.

Velvetines

Lime Crime Velvetines Matte Lipstick, £18, Selfridges

Lime Crime Velvetines

Liquid lipstick without the dryness, these glide on for the perfect powdery-matte pout. The formula is so thin, but densely pigmented, that you'll forget you're even wearing it. We love shade Cashmere, a super soft dusky nude.

Plushies

Lime Crime Plushies Lip Veil, £18, Selfridges

If Velvetines are too matte for your tastes, Plushies are that slightly silkier demi-matte with all the colour. Think fuller-looking lips with just the right dash of rich colour for the perfect pout, and tonnes of shades to choose from.

Highlighter

Lime Crime Hi-Lite Palette in Opals, £35, Selfridges

It wouldn't be a modern beauty brand without the inclusion of some killer highlighter palettes, like the Hi-Lites. Our favourite is the Opals palette, boasting holographic shades of pink, gold and peach for that multi-dimensional glow. Every highlighter addict needs this in their life.
