Toy-Like Makeup Palettes

Lime Crime's 'Pocket Candy' Collection Has Polly Pocket-Style Packaging

Inspired by the charming Polly Pocket toys that were released in the 90s, Lime Crime announced a new trio of 'Pocket Candy Palettes' that will offer plenty of nostalgia to Millennials.

All of the shades in the Sugar Plum, Bubblegum and Pink Lemonade palettes are vegan and cruelty-free. As much as the Pocket Candy Palettes offer a fun throwback to one's childhood, Lime Crime promises that the products "ain't your momma's vintage makeup." On top of this, Lime Crime describes its yet-to-be-released products by piling on the references to other heart-warming 90s fixations like the Power Rangers.

Each kit contains a curated range of five colors, which may be used to enhance the eyes and cheeks. True to their name, the Pocket Candy Palletes are packaged in pocket-sized collectible cases.
