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

Not entirely impressed

I have to agree with those who didn't entirely love the product. It took me a couple of goes to decide that I would in fact use it, but I don't think I'd buy it again. I purchased Suedeberry, the colour is a really beautiful subtle red, I don't dislike the colour at all it is a beautiful change from intense red's, and a step up from light pinks. It is very wet when you first apply it, I now only apply the most minimal amount and then smooth that across my lips, it really does go far! In saying that unless I use two coats I find that it dries too opaque. But I found that it took a little longer than expected to dry, and while it does look matte, it is very sticky on my lips so it isn't the nicest feeling. However, staying power is great! And I have decided it smells like Creaming Soda so to be honest I kind of just want to eat it :))

Tips: I had a much better result using a similarly colored lip pencil, especially because it is a slippery mess when you first apply + two coats to ensure full coverage.

Waaaaaah :(

Why is it that I'm seeing all these wonderful reviews on the velvetines and then there's me who tried 'Wicked' and it was absolutely HORRIBLE on me :( I was super disappointed because I loved the colour and had seen all these wonderful reviews everywhere about it but somehow once I applied it, it dried completely patchy and disgusting, wiped off half of it ( I have a big bottom lip so wondered if that was why) and just slowly came off throughout the short amount of time I wore it for. Even my mum said it looks gross on me :( Was so upset cause I got a good deal off makeup.co.nz and was going to wearing it to my ball but sadly if it looked like that after only an hour of wear then I definitely couldn't wear it to the ball with food and drink. Ended up selling it after I had tried a couple of times and it just didnt work for me, I especially bought it cause it was kiss proof and for me it was not like that at all :( wondering if mine was a dud???

Not for me

Purchased this online in wicked because everybody who's anybody raves about it! Was disappointed with it and not because its not a great product but because I have very full lips and often get dry spots, even though I exfoliate like a demon lol. Went on beautifully, although I recommend a liner if you're a novice to matte creams like myself. But I found that when it dried, it showed up every single dry patch and looked cakey. Gorgeous product, just not suited to me

Nice colour, smells funky

I own a velvetine in the shade Suedeberry. The packaging is very pretty, with the velvetine having a red and pink floral printed lid. The velvetine smelled like vanilla when I first got it but after a couple of months it has a very unpleasant Playdough scent, which concerns me. The velvetine has a sponge applicator which applies it very neatly with no need for a lip liner. It's hard to get used to how drying it feels on my lips, but it looks good. Suedeberry is a very wearable orange, however I do find it makes my teeth look super yellow. I was gifted this product and I am glad I was as I feel the price of this product is very steep for what it is. Even though I liked the colour, I would not repurchase as I feel I could get a matte lipstick for cheaper that would provide a similar effect.

Great product.

This product I use to think was amazing u till I tried others like it that were cheeper and actually felt nicer on my lips as well. This product is average hence my scoring. I don't think this product is worth the price tag as it tends to flake off easily and doesn't stay on too long

Wicked

I bought this in Wicked which is the perfect deep shade of burgundy. I couldn't be happier with the colour and the matte finish. It's exactly the shade I have been looking for.

As some have pointed out, application is very tricky at first. I found that I was initially getting a very patchy result but in time I got the technique under control.

I thought the staying power was good but not as great as I was expecting. Admittedly I have mostly worn it in party situations where a drink wasn't too far from my mouth most of the night. I have had a lot more success with it lasting well on a normal work day. Touch ups do require VERY careful application or you can get a noticeably uneven result.

That said, I'm so happy with the colour that I can handle the extra effort required to make this one look good.

Will take a bit to get used to

I finally purchased two Lime Crime Velvetines the other week after seeing a gorgeous girl wearing them last summer and adding it to my "to buy" list. I bought wicked and Suedeberry after red velvet was sold out worldwide. Having become so used to applying stick lipstick the applicator too a few attempts to get used to on the first wear. However, they dry beautifully and mine lasted all night and I got at least 7 compliments. Can't wait to see what my friends think of Suede Berry, hopefully I'll be a bit more used to the applicator by then. Loved the Matte look and will definitely recommend to others.

Tips: On the first few applications wipe excess off the applicator to avoid running. Make sure your lips aren't too dry to begin with, as it dries matte so can leave your lips looking shrivelled.

Great product

The formula is really nice and goes on smooth though the applicator is a bit awkward to use (that is probably my own awkwardness) and the product is very drying but that can be easily fixed by putting on some lip balm first.

Not happy with Pansy :(

Matte lipstick is my go to lipstick. I love them! I originally bought Suedeberry which I fell in love with and just recently I splurged on Red Velvet & Pansy. However I am not sure what is going on, I find Pansy lacking that initial “WOW!!” that I had with Suedeberry, I love the colours no doubt about that but I feel there are some faults within the formula & the applicators. The applicators are awkwardly messy, which leaves unwanted streaks which require fixing and I find the formula very smudgy, they don't seem to have the same staying power as the original colours & is not kiss/eat/drink proof. Unlike Suedeberry, I eat & drink then I have to reapply within a few hours and it’s very drying on my lips. Due to the smudginess of Pansy, I feel somewhat self-conscious wearing it in public as I am constantly thinking as to whether if I have lipsticks smeared halfway across my face. I am hugely disappointed, makes me question if I got a dud product or is this it?

However I love the packaging, the pretty boxes & love how flowers feature so heavily. I am still eager to try Riot when it is released :)
