Lime Crime Velvetines

I loved the finished matte look of this lipstick. I used the colour wicked and it looked amazing! It also stayed on all night even when eating and drinking. It was so stubborn to get off I had to use make up remover. It did dry out my lips a little bit so make sure to use chapstick before putting it on and throughout the night

I own the shade Suedeberry which cost me around 35NZD as I bought from Princess Polly and I have absolutely nothing bad at all to say about LimeCrime Velvetines! I just don't know where to begin!!

Long-lasting, vibrant, matte, easy application - absolutely everything I look for in a lip stain! Obviously, if you aren't a fan of matte lip products then this is not for you, but if you are -as I clearly am- you'll absolutely adore LimeCrime Velvetines!

I find this products stays on much longer than my velour lips and not only is true to colour, it comes in an adorable carousel themed tube! LimeCrime is known for their impeccably pretty packaged lipsticks and their Velvetines range is no disappointment.

I highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone looking for a long lasting, matte lip product at a decent price.

As curious as I am, I had to get my hands on one of these Lime Crime Velvetines. Even with all this talk and speculation about them I had to give this liquid velvetine a try.

It's incased in this frosty glass tube. The lid has this retro yet funky design. The lip wand has this soft applicating sponge thats helps apply the lip stain on your lips well. The colour I chose was Utopia. I got mine from a friend selling it in a marketplace. It's the closest I could get to getting one of these so I was very thankful.

Application with this wand was truely the best I've ever experienced before. It goes on like liquid and magically dries into this matte lip stick coverage. How did they make this product. I am amazed! There was a scent like chemicals. It's indescribeable. I tried eating, drinking and doing my normal daily activities and not one smudge.

My results were well covered lips. My lips had a matte finish. There was no stickyness , no smudges whatsoever. It had a smell sort of like twink. It is becoming very rare with them stopping the imports to New Zealand. Like I said earlier I was lucky enough to get my hands on a second hand one. Would love to own a brand new one one day. I would buy it again. It's worth buying. The brightest colour I've ever had.

for me having big lips it hard to wear lipstick and go out for a meal becuase the lipstick ends up all over my chin and teeth but with this product it stays perfectly in place all night long and doesn't even come off when you kiss! they have a great range of colours, which i love

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

I have to say, Lime crime had the liquid lipstick way before kylie jenner started her lipkits and jeffree star's lipsticks. These will always be the original liquid lipsticks in my mind.

I have suedeberry, a orange-peach-red kind of color. It looks completely different depending on your skin color, and for me (pale nc10) it looks like a bright crimson mixed with a little bit of orange. The color is very striking so I only wear this when I want all the attention to be on my lips. The color does make my teeth look a little yellow.

Application is with a standard doefoot kind of lipgloss applicator. It's smooth and applied easily, but it's a little difficult to get the perfect outline since it's not a brush. I tend to have to go back with a cotton tip dipped in coconut oil so sharpen out the edges. It dries relatively quickly and goes completely matte. I find that it does feel very drying so when I wear this I always prep my lips with a very thick layer of lipbalm beforehand. It doesn't transfer apart from when I eat oily food (oil and liquid lipsticks are not friends).

It's easily removed with some coconut oil and doesn't leave a stain. There is a slight unpleasant, chemical smell when applying but it goes away after it dries.

I've been wanting to try Velvetines for so long now but just never ended up purchasing one before as they're quite pricey for a lip stain/stick. I was very very kindly gifted one by a fellow BR member (thank-you very much!!) in the shade Pink Velvet and I absolutely LOVE it! I wish I hadn't waited so long to try these, they seriously are amazing!

The packaging is nice, a red rosy lid and frosted tube so you can see the product inside. It's a doe-foot applicator which I was nervous to use at first but it actually allows for a really smooth line if you take the time. It has a little 'neck' at the top of the tube so excess product is wiped off when you pull the applicator out which is really nice - it leaves it with the perfect amount of product for a whole lip application on it. No dunking in and out of the tube 10 times to cover the lips!

The formula is suuper smooth and seriously opaque! One thin layer is all that's needed for full cover for me, and my lips are quite dark so show through most lipsticks.

It drys matte but is one of the more comfortable matte's I've ever worn and it doesn't look drying on the lips. I have extremely dry/chapped lips and struggle to wear most lipsticks because of it but these look great on me.

The staying power on these is amazing and I think my favourite part about these is that they don't transfer!! No bright pink lipstick in my hair or on my teeth or my jumper etc - awesome!

I don't have anything else this crazy bright pink and was a little nervous to wear it but I actually love the colour

I like that these are matte too because you can leave them matte or add some gloss depending on what you feel like that day

Basically these are super awesome and I've just spent my food money for the week on two more of these things in the shades Wicked and Utopia so cannot wait to try these ones out too!

I've been tempted to invest in a matte lip colour for a while now, but have been a bit skeptical as I've heard issues about bleeding etc. I got the opportunity to try a LC Velvetine and was instantly converted - they look amazing on and I got so many compliments on it, plus it lasted hours without needing to be reapplied (even when drinking and eating). I'm tempted to go out and buy the whole collection now!

I was excited enough to place my first order for some limecrime a few weeks ago and was extremely excited to try it out. I purchased Red Velvet, it is the perfect Red ever and I was happy with my choice.

Firstly the packaging is sleek and stylish and very girly which I love to bits. The applicator is very easy to use and the product smells amazing!

The wear was good although I did find a few problems with it. You need to prep, prep and prep your lips! This is with any lip product application but especially with the velvetiness. As they dry matte, if you have any dry skin at all on your lips it causes flakes and doesn't look very nice. You need to make sure you use a lipliner because I found that in the corners it does bleed abit.

I also found it extremely hard to remove. Overall I did like the product, and will keep trying it until I found combination that works for me.

I have tried the Wicked shade of the Lime Crime Velvetines (which i am wearing in my profile picture) and I love it. Such a rich wine red.

However what did bother me was that although it sticks really really well (a little too well when you're attempting to remove it lol) i find that I get an area around the inside of my lips that I've chewed/sucked/bitten off and it looks really terrible. You'd think that that'd be easy to solve with a simple re-application but when you re-apply these Velvetines they go quite lumpy and you can really see the edges of where you've chewed. It's just apersonal flaw of mine but yeah.
