In February 2005, she was hired by Rede Globo to replace Angélica of Vídeo Game, presenting the programme Vídeo Show, during pregnancy and maternity leave of the titular host.[5] Soon after, she was invited to act in the Bang Bang, set in a plot of city directly reflecting the old west Brazil, where she was the protagonist Diana Bullock. Without any training or experience in drama, she accepted the role, taking lessons martial arts and hiring a speech therapist. Due to being inexperienced for the lead role, her portrayal of the character received several criticisms from the press, who said she was the cause of the low ratings of the telenovela.[4] In spite of the criticisms, she was invited to play role in Pé na Jaca by Carlos Lombardi playing the role of Maria Bo. She got better reviews from the viewers.[4] After this, She got other roles in Fantástico, Daqui para Frente, and Por Toda Minha Vida.[5] In August 2009, she began hosting Amor & Sexo, which is aimed at a young audience and talks about the theme of sex and related topics.[6]

The neckline of the dress worn by Lima during the presentation of the draw was censored in the live broadcast of the event in Iran, one of the qualified countries of the World Cup. The authorities of the country – which has cultural and religious restrictions to women's clothing and where women can not go to football games – suspended transmission in real time.[13]
