Lip stain that goes on liquid and dries completely matte. Touch-proof, long-wearing, and utterly addictive!

Lips feel like rose petals for sure

Velvetines are my favourite of all liquid lipsticks. The consistency is nice and thin, and goes on so nicely, but the colour is still very opaque and layers like a dream. It dries very quickly, which is good because it wont feel tacky for long, and once it has dried, it doesn't budge! Unless you're eating greasy food, this will last hours - smudge-proof, waterproof, kiss-proof, whatever, its not going anywhere. Which is fine because it is not at all uncomfortable, and probably the least drying liquid lipstick I have used.

Tips: Definitely look up swatches before you buy! Look up many different types of swatches, and on different skin tones. They can look very different on other people, especially with differences in undertones and the use of filters on pictures online

just call me a Lime Criminal

I didn't want to try these and I definitely didn't want to like them. I had heard that they were drying and not that great, and after all the negative press about the company I just never bothered. Then, one day, I found myself in the clearance section of Nordstrom Rack in Honolulu, looking at $6 Lime Crime Velvetines, and .... well I had to.

I now regret only getting one.

I chose the shade 'Polly' - a pink-mauve matte that is subtle, pretty, and infinitely wearable.

The packaging for these is gorgeous - a frosted glass tube showing the colour, with a rose-printed cap; this looks classy. The applicator is a short-wanded doe foot.

The formula is thin but not runny - I do find I need to scrape the applicator ad too much comes out at once. It's easy to apply and one thin layer is sufficient. It takes a little longer to dry than I would ideally like, but once dry, passes the 'touch test' with flying (lack of) colours, not transferring easily at all.

After eating and srinking and life for a few hours it starts to fade, but this is true of all lipsticks - I'm yet to meet one that can handle hours with no impact at all. Lips are left noticeably retaining colour, though , and the way this wears off is a lot more even than some in my collection.

In short I'm a big fan, and kicking myself for not buying the other shade there I wanted - Wisteria.

Tips: thin layers - the thick ones don't dry easily!

Sounds beautiful. I was drawn to the reviews purely for the packaging alone!

Red Velvet perfect red

This is the perfect blue based red, it's a bit drying but I love matte lipstick and it lasts all day. It doesn't last through meals very well though, but it's the longest lasting lipstick I've ever used. I haven't found a pale pink that would be nice In this range though

Tips: Only apply once very sparingly as it's super pigmented.

Super pigmented

These are super pigmented! I have this in three colours, they literally last all day and night. They can be drying so i apply a thin coat of lip balm throughout the day. They have a nice sweet smell that dosent linger too long, they are easy to apply and have a smooth texture. Pricey but the quality makes it worth it. Easy applicator to use. Always have one in my bag, on my shelf and in storage. Love these!

Favourite Liquid Lipstick

My favourite item in my makeup bag! It doesn't move, and is super smooth to apply. I find I dont need to lip line as it doesn't seem to bleed on me and requires minimal re applications. As my tubes run out, I mix them with a bit of plain lip balm and they make a nice lip stain

Tips: Be super accurate when applying as once it's on it can be hard to correct.

Best Liquid Lipsticks

This one of my absolute favourites for liquid lipsticks I probably own around thirty different colours. They last almost all day and come in such a fun range of colours.

Additionally they don’t require a lipliner and are super full coverage. Lime Crime also regularly does sales on their velvetines.

The only negative is that they only have 2.6ml worth of product compared to a Kat Von D one or a Jeffree Star which has 6.6ml and 5.6ml of product respectively

Perfect matte lipstick

This is my go to liquid lipstick for a matte finish. It lasts for ages and does not smudge off even after eating and drinking. Favourite lipstick to use.

Would recommend! x

I recently tried the Lime Crime Velvetines matte liquid lipstick and I have to say, it's quickly become one of my favorite lip products! The color payoff is amazing - one swipe and you have a highly pigmented, vibrant shade that lasts all day without fading or smudging.

What I love most about this lipstick is its texture. Despite being a matte formula, it's surprisingly comfortable to wear, thanks to its velvety smooth consistency that glides on easily and doesn't dry out my lips. And once it's on, it stays put for hours without feeling heavy or cakey.

Another great thing about this product is the range of colors available. Whether you're looking for a bold, statement-making shade or something more understated, there's a Velvetines lipstick to suit your style. And the packaging is so cute!

Overall, I would definitely recommend the Lime Crime Velvetines lipstick to anyone who loves bold, long-lasting color with a comfortable matte finish. It's a bit pricier than some other lip products on the market, but the quality and longevity are well worth it in my opinion. I can't wait to try more shades!
