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.

Matte lips

I have mixed thoughts on this product, I got caught up in all the hype I must admit, I wanted some vixen red lips that didn't budge. What I didn't consider was matte lips and I don't get on much, while it looks great on others I just don't seem to be able to pull it off! I have red velvet and while I adore the colour the formula wasn't really what I expected. It was very watery which made it really hard for me to apply, no matter what I get a stupid amount on my teeth! A little goes a long way so I think you need to apply with a lip brush to get a neat job. Once dry (I feel it takes awhile) it is very long lasting. Overall it was an impulse buy which just doesn't suit my preference. I think I'll stick to the lipsticks in future.

UPDATE: I am not sure if it's because mine has been exposed to the air but the formula has changed slightly, it's a lot easier to apply now, not so watery. So it's not quite as nightmarish to apply anymore which is great!

Amazing product

After reading reviews on this product i decided to buy my own and how happy i am i did. The pigmentation and colours are amazing. Only a little is needed for full coverage too, i wore one layer and after a normal day of work, eating etc the coverage was still there!

I also found that there was no cracking, flaking or bleeding!

It's well worth it's price and when applying your first layer always use a small amount that helps with it all drying at the same pace. And if your wanting it darker just add another layer. And fix mistakes quickly otherwise it's hard to fix :)

Lime Crime Velvetines

I have this in Suedeberry and it's such a great product! The colour is awesome (a real orangey-red) and the pigmentation is really good. I find that you need to be careful with how much you put on, as if you put on more than one coat I find that it doesn't dry properly or takes ages to dry.

Tips: Be quick to fix any mistakes as these dry quickly and really don't budge!

Love it

I currently only have this product in "Red Velvet". It is the perfect true red and will match many skin times. It lasts for hours and stays true to colour.

It is highly pigmented and at first feels unusual during application, very wet. However, it dries very fast and creates a perfect classic lip.

Update: I bought the "pink velvet" version of this and although this a beautiful pink colour the formula is not as good as the "red velvet". Although the colour is much more wearable and suitable for everyday use, the formula lets it down.

Tips: If you've read that it's kiss proof - don't believe it. Be careful to only get the product on your lips of it can stain/ruin your foundation.

In my experience no, probably peck proof though! I didn't find it too drying, occasionally had noticeably dry lips..but the pink velvet definitely had a chemical taste to it.

Fantastic review - I was wondering if these were kiss proof. Is this drying on your lips?

Huge staying power

I had to have those sexy velvet red lips. I'm not a lippy girl but now I'm converted! Packaging is cute. Nice bottle & applicator. You only need a tiny bit on the applicator as a little goes a very long way! What a absolutely fab colour. Eye popping. (Velvet red) It stayed on well through eating & drinking, needed to scrub it off before bed.

***update*** Love so much I've now brought wicked, pink and Salem and utopia! Looooving the lime crime!

Best thing I have found to remove is a coconut oil. Rub all over, use a cloth to remove. Continue normal cleansing routine

Tips: Wear a lip liner to make sure it doesn't bleed into your foundation before it sets dry. Use the liner all over the lip (a nude) just apply a light layer of the colour first, wait to dry a bit then another thin layer

Suedeberry velvetine

I loooooove the look of matte on lips, think its gorg. But for reason I found that the formulation of this product, although it did stay all day and didn't budge, was extremely drying on the lips. Also the colour was slightly darker than what I was expecting. All in all a better than average product with minor problems

Tips: Make sure you moisturise your lips like crazy before you use.

Brilliant!

Long lasting, super pigmented and doesn't dry your lips out. Can be hard to put on though but once dry turns matte and lasts a long time so no need to worry about re apply for ages!

Tips: don't apply to lips straight away, swipe wand ontop of opening to get rid of excess, makes it easier to apply!

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.

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
