One Word: AMAZING

This is one product that really does what it says it will. These babies go on and stay on! So so long wearing. You can literally go a full day with only one or two very minor touch ups and mostly only to the centre of your lips where food or drink might touch. Wish they had more shades to choose from, I have Red Velvet and Suedeberry and they are both gorgeous. For a matte lipstick, I was surprised at how my lips felt as they didn't dry out as much as other matte lip products can make them do. Definitely would recommend trying these out.

Tips: As they are matte pop a lip balm on first to help with any dryness.

Not sold.. Not convinced. 'Wicked'

I wanted to own a Velvetine for the longest time. I had forever lusted after Wicked! One day I was lucky enough to win it and I was over the moon! All the incredible reviews and fans of this product had my expectations high and my lips excited..

Expectation vs reality.. I was let down.

I like the packaging its gorgeous. I love the color its the most perfect rich red. I love the scent.. An almost vanilla.

The formula.. Errr.. Okay yes its opaque. The applicator.. Not a fan.. Personally I do not think its the right kind of tip for this sort of product. You are most definitely left with rich color with one application.. Its a bit messy to apply and takes a bit of getting used to due to the applicator.

Now the finish.. Yes the finish is matte.. I am a huge fan of matte but clearly not this kind. It didn't look nice up close at all.

The stayability.. Honestly.. Did I get a dud? Because this was leaving all sorts of marks on anything my lips touched and wore off pretty damn fast. I applied this a good hour and a half before going out to Dinner.. Didn't eat or drink anything in that time period and the minute I had a sip of my drink it started leaving lip marks everywhere! After finishing Dinner it was totally gone except for what looked like a lip liner only line surrounding my lips.

The second and third and fourth tries.. I tried to love this and was left with the same disappointing results.

Would I try again.. I might buy another color and hope that one doesn't fail me but at this point in time I am not impressed and do not get the fuss!

Tips: Not for me.. Or I got a dud.. Hard to decide!

It's refreshing to see that not everyone is a fan of limecrime products.:) I have the pink velvetine and it stayed on even after washing my face and drinking/eating a lot, maybe it depends on the color as they can't formulate them all the same way?

Worth The Hype

After seeing sooo many people rave about the Velvetines range, I had to try it for myself. I purchased the Suede Berry shade which is a beautiful, bright red/orange. The bottle and packaging is very pretty. The lipstain itself is quite watery so you need to be careful when applying it but a little does go a long way. The colour is very pigmented and 2 coats gave me a nice deep, matte colour. The staying power is great, better than any other lippy I've tried. I ate, drank and gossiped away for the day and 5 hours later it was still on although the finish wasn't as perfect and the inside part of my lips was coming off. One thing that stopped my giving it a perfect score was the fact that it is very drying and it accentuated the dry lines that my lips get. Overall it is a fantastic product and I can't wait to try the other shades.

Tips: Dry lips and loose skin are really noticeable with this product so exfoliate and apply lip balm first.

Wicked!

This girl does not like matte lipstick, lets just get that clear, then I was gifted this lipstick by a sweet BRA member and my perception of mattes has been changed.

I'm a soft and creamy lipstick kind of girl and having a dry, moisture sucking lipstick on my lips is just tortureous. My lips are naturally dry and therefore need all the moisture they can get to look their best. Mattes have never made my lips look good.

I've definitely changed my tune with Limecrime velvetines. The quick liquid to matte formula is amazing because the lipstick is set within seconds. I love lasting power of this lipstick as lasts me the entire day and I have to scrub it off before. Eat, drink and kiss all you want, this lipstick isnt going anywhere.

I don't find the matte formula drying at all even when I have to scrub it off my lips.

I love the applicator tip as it makes for precise application and a pretty straight line making the lipstick look superb. I find some liquid to mattes can go cakey on the lips but not this lipstick.

This lipstick suits pretty much every single skin tone and is a universal favourite and my recent favourite matte.

Tips: Every girl needs to try Wicked

Lime Crime Velvetines

I LOVE this product! Goes on liquidy and dries matte. I have this in Red Velvet. I wore it to a wedding reception and throughout the reception I ate and drank and it lasted about 8 hours with only one touch up. I didn't use a liner with this and it wasn't too drying on my lips either. The colour payoff is amazing! Definately recommended if you don't want to keep touching up throughout the day/night. The only downfall is they only have 3 colours. Can't wait until Lime Crime release more colours - I'll definately be buying more!!

Tips: This will suit anyone so worth investing in one of these to add to your collection. If you add gloss on top, the staying power will not last as long.

Lime Crime

After a friend showed me hers I decided I had to try my own without a doubt. Now I am a devoted MAC girl but wow these Velvetines are defeintly making my loyalty swing! I have two and I wear them out more than my MAC's now. They glide on like a gloss and then fade to a matte stain. I love them because I can eat and not have to worry about leakage. And when I go to take them off I normally still have a slight hint of colour the next morning! The only bad thing I can say about these is that they are not actually kiss proof.

Tips: Get a good makeup remover if you want to fully get these lippies off! Cause they cling to your lips

Prime before you 'Crime'.

I was lucky enough to be gifted Lime Crime Utopia by one of the beautiful BRAs - and I was SOOOO excited! I've always wanted to try one, but my wish list is insane and it kept being pushed down the list by other 'must haves'.

First of all, I adore the packaging - it's so fun and funky, but still manages to look like a luxury product. But is it as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside? Absolutely. I love the liquid formula. It went on easily, although you do have to be careful as it can bleed a bit on older lips, and if you go over your intended lip line it can be a mission to fix. The first time I nailed it, but since then I've had to have a couple of goes each time I wore it. It doesn't take long to dry and after that it's stuck on your lips. Seriously! I smooched my wee girl and she didn't have a mark on her. There were marks on my coffee cup, but it didn't translate to a loss of colour on my lips. Amazing!!

So did it last for long? Yes. It easily went four hours before I wanted to give it a wee touch up. But that being said, my experience did change on different days. On the days where my lips were smooth and hydrated, the Lime Crime stayed on longer and looked fresher, and when I did reapply it applied nicely. However on days where I'd forgotten to exfoliate and moisturise my lips it looked quite cakey and dry rather quickly.

That being said I would still recommend - if you're not one for fussing about with your lips after the initial application, this is a winner!

Tips: BR have taught us it's a crime not to prime, and the same goes for this product. It's a crime not to prime before you apply Lime Crime.

WICKED for the WICKED

After countless efforts of finding the perfect red for me I decided to break the budget and splurge on this delightful delicacy. Wicked was sold out online so I picked up a brand new one (above RRP) on Trade me. Slightly put off when it arrived, as through the applicator it looked more brown than red, BUT... then it danced over my lips. A red that is so dark, it 'feels' seductive, definately a tinge of brown but I wouldn't have it any other way. This look was so bold that I had an incredible boost of confidence and (40 selfies later) I realised that this was MY red. Paired with a perfect coverage foundation and some lovely black lashes this would be the perfect evening shade. Totally kissable, it.would.not.smudge! I could only remove it with make up remover, but who wants their lippy to come off easily? My search ends here.The perfect lips...Lime Crime xo

Beautiful Colour & Packaging, but not for me

Its weird to think a year ago, I didn’t know or care who Lime Crime was, but when this company did pop up on my radar, it was because of their velvetiness. They were beautiful. I have googled swatches for these left, right and centre, and not just because of the beautiful and unique colours they came in, but also because the beautiful packaging.

The lime crime velvetine range is packaged in a clear frosted plastic cylinder. The top half on the packaging is red and covered in roses with the lime crime logo printed in white text. It’s pretty and I don’t think anyone could deny that. The red part of the packaging twists off and pulls out of the frosted section to reveal the wand applicator, and the beautiful velvetine inside. In my case, my chosen colour was uptopia, which is an epic cool toned magenta.

Application is easy, but I find with the package design, way more product then I need come out so I have to wipe it off before I use it which make it a bit messy. But it’s a good fact that a little bit of this product goes a long way. I use the wand for application, and carefully line my lips with the velvetine before colouring in my whole lip. The colour is opaque, that’s for sure and it has some serious staying power. But I also find that it really really dries my lips out. Plus even when I exfoliate before using the product, this product seems to almost highlight the lines in my lips.

I find this product is lovely in regards to colour and packaging, but it just does not agree with my lips and this means I rarely reach for this product, and have only used it a handful of times. For that reason as well as a couple others, I won’t be repurchasing Lime Crime Velvetines again, and I have decided to sell my Utopia Lime Crime aswell.

I have NY-CEE, MA-LI-BOO, SHAN-HAI and TO-KI-O... MA-LI-BOO is probably my fave - it's the neon pink in my profile pink, but SHAN-HAI is a lovely darker pink that could suit you!

I really want to try these. Utopia is the purple yeah? That's on my list. I'm liking my Australia Velourlips a lot and I'm told by some that these are better but by some that they aren't as good

Suedeberry

First impression of Packaging: I love the effort that limecrime puts into their packaging, I find it to be very fun and creative and attractive. Also the tube is very simple to use.

Colour: I was EXTREMELY impressed with the vibrancy of my Suedeberry, I have been dying to get my hands on this colour for along time so I was over the moon when I saw how bold it was.

Consistency: I was a little bit freaked out at first when I applied it because the formula felt so watery going on, when it dried though.. Holy moly it was gorgeous and a little goes along way!

Availability: Like most makeup products, its a little harder trying to track the velvetines down, unless you buy from overseas or through a seller. It would be nice to see more in store opposed to online in NZ.

Price: A little pricey for students, but great for a splurge!

Last: This lasted all day and I even jumped in the shower with it to see how it handled, it HANDLED!!

Tips: Go forth and splurge
