Limelight By Alcone Foundation Reviews and Complaints

Tried the foundation and got chemical burn on my face! The lipsticks aren’t even cruelty free and the shadow has crushed bugs in it!

I recently ordered over $100 of Limelife makeup and to say the least Im very disappointed. The foundation is heavy and creases.

It doesnt stay on like they said it did. The contour literally stays on for an hour. The mascara dried up in two weeks. I loved the mascara for the first two uses and after that it was dry.

I also tried the tinted lip gloss and it doesnt stay on long and it dries up. I am so disappointed. I couldve just saved a whole lot of money and went to Walmart.

I completely have lost my trust in high end makeup. DISAPPOINTED!

I never thought about actually making a post on this site, but after much time has passed I finally decided to. I did NOT have a good experience with Limelife by alcone, neither as a beauty guide nor as a user of the products, and here is my story.

Before you continue reading, if you are a current beauty guide, do not attempt to argue with my statements nor opinions, for this is what happened to me. I first heard of Limelife by alcone over 2 years ago. A lady who lives near me was making very much money, and was able to quit her job because of LL. I was a gullible girl who saw all of these posts about how much money she was making, how she went out of state to nice estates, got a new vehicle, went on cruises, and I was just in awe.

I stood on the sidelines for many months wondering "should I do this too?" During my wondering period, LL boomed like crazy. The said lady had MANY people join her team, and those many people lived in my area. I'm talking hundreds of people within like a 25 mile radius- yea. Anyways, finally, after much thought and time, I decided to join BEFORE I had ever tried the products because, as someone who had never known much about the direct sales, I was gullible to believe every word about how the "products were perfect, did not cause breakouts and got rid of cystic acne" and all of this other "perfect" stuff.

Needless to say, when my starter kit arrived, I was ecstatic. I just KNEW I had the best products on the planet, because that's what every seller made it out to be. "Better than younique, better than this, better than that"- always priding the products. After using the products for just a few days, cystic acne began showing up on my face.

I brushed it off and thought "hm, there's no way it's because of these products, because I've always heard they don't cause acne." So, I kept using them, bragging on them, and standing by them. As months passed and my acne worsened, my face became overcome with it. The skin care wasn't benefiting it, only adding to the issue. I thought "hm, let me try the Mask of Zen, that's the acne treating mask for oily skin!" So I did.

Time and time again, months and months, I kept blaming my acne on things OTHER than LL. The foundation was an oil ridge on my face, and did not hide the fact that there was an acne infestation going on (although in videos beauty guides miraculously make it disappear). Finally, I decided to make an appointment with my dermatologist. I brought in the mask of zen, foundation, and cleanser.

Needless to say, he was not pleased with any of it. He suggested I tried Neutrogena foundation, and heck, it's Better to me than LL and less than half the price! When I told my upline what my dermatologist said, she said I was the only one who ever had that issue, and tried to get me to see a different dermatologist. She basically made it seem as though my dermatologist, someone who STUDIED the SKIN FOR YEARS, had no clue what he was talking about, and unfortunately, like an idiot, I was gullible and fell back into the trap.

however, I did stop using LL and began using a regimen my dermatologist prescribed to me. My acne WENT away when I stopped using LL.. that's when I knew it was not going to work for me and I was no longer going to promote those products. Ever since I had this experience, I have had a very salty attitude towards this company without meaning to.

However, it's quite hard not to when you're constantly seeing "these products can't cause acne! Nobody gets acne with this products! This foundation covers everything!

This is good for ANY skin type!" News flash: A particular brand is not perfect for every single person in the world; if it were, everyone would use it. I won't even get into detail about how I hardly made any money or the bossy training that occurred- that's been talked about enough on my behalf.

So, first of all I am not a promoter, nor do I sell Limelife. I have tried a wide range of Limelife products. I will list each with my review. Keep in mind I am mid 30's with oily acne prone skin with enlarged pores & some fine lines & wrinkles.

First lets start with makeup.

Botanical Foundation: I absolutely hated the foundation. Its thick, cakey, & feeks tacky even after setting it with powder & spray. It did not look good on my skin & basically melted off within a couple of hours. I would not recommend.

Perfect Eyeliner: if you like a really sharp eyeliner pen, you may like this eyeliner. I however felt the tip was too fine for my preference & didnt like this product. Would not Recommend.

Mascara: This is a buildable fiber mascara. I didn't notice much flaking, but you really have to build for it to look decent. (I'm talking like 5 coats.) Not for me. Would Not Reccomend.

Perfect lipstick: I purchased a sheer Lipstick. It feels amazing on my lips, but does have to be reapplied like chapstick. Doesn't last long but if you don't mind reapplying its great. A little pricey for the quality. I personally wouldn't repurchase.

Lipgloss: I do love my limelife lipgloss. I have to reapply often but thats with any gloss. The color I purchased is amazing. It smells great and feels good on. Not too tacky. I would recommend.

Matte Setting Spray: idk if this should be listed under makeup or skin care but I really like this setting spray. The smell is not pleasant AT ALL, but luckily it doesnt linger long and it really sets my makeup so well. Without it, my makeup partially melts off by mid day, with this setting spray my makeup lasts all day. Its so worth dealing with the terrible scent. Would recommend

Now, lets get to the good stuff. Skincare.

Dream Clean Face Cleanser: I LOVE this cleanser. It really removes my makeup well. I have purchased this product 3x & will continue to use this. Its an all around great cleanser. Love, Love, Love my Dream Clean. Would reccomend!

Masque of Zen: I like this mask. It feels very refreshing on my skin. I use this 2-3x/week. It does help, but from my experience does not eliminate acne. It removes oil and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. I have hormonal acne so its hard to tackle. This may work better for eliminating acne on ppl that only get occassional breakouts. Would Reccomend!

Skin Polish: I use this mask maybe once a week on a night im not using mask of Zen. It is hydrating & smells amazing. It exfoliates & leaves my skin feeling soft & smooth. I do like this mask & I would reccomend.

Calm Balm Moisturizer: I love this moisturizer. I actually apply it before applying my foundation. It absorbs quickly into the skin. Doesnt leave my skin looking shiny or oily. This is the only mousturizer I have ever found that I can honestly say I Love. I have purchased this more than once & I would recommend.

Basically I havent tried any limelife makeup I feel is worth the price other than the lip gloss & setting spray, but the skin care is amazing & I will continue to purchase it.

I wrote and AWFUL review because Limelight did not provide me a refund. Well, of course not!

Instead of returning the product, I sent back a sample that Erin Blair Goblin had graciously provided to me.

I apologize to Erin and to Limelight. Erin provided me with outstanding customer service.

Bought their foundation from a rep on FB. I love it!! Best foundation i've ever worn.

Wasnt told there was a 30 day refund policy.and actually didnt even know my makeup was returnable until after the warranty had expired.i only wore it twice but didnt like the color or texture.i loved the primer and concealer. Was hoping to exchange the foundation fir concealer even though id still be losing money.but at least id have some satisfaction on this matter

I love everything LimeLife (LimeLite). I’ve been using their products for the past 11 months and it truly has helped my skin complexion along with the whole Day wear cosmetics!

If you watch the videos and pay close attention to your beauty advisor, you can come out any way you want. . . from a mother to business professional to a movie starSome times it takes patience and a long length of time before a reversal in your skin will come about.

Stay the course! Oooops didn’t know I was on the Pissed Community only
