Wicked

I love my Lime Crime Velvetine Wicked. Before purchasing online, I conducted a bit of research and found that some people have problems with the product being drying. As I have dry skin/lips, as well as allergies to most lip balms, I was nervous about this. However, Wicked does not dry my lips at all. If any thing, it requires a small dab with paw paw cream every couple of hours, just to keep it fresh and moisturized. The only time I notice the drying effect is when worn for more than eight hours. After this, the lipstick does become something disgusting and begins peeling off my lips like sunburn. However, it is rare that I ever wear a lipstick for that period of time at a time, so I have no real issues with the dryness.

The only thing is the high price. I purchased Velvetine dupes off Ebay and found them just as good, if not better, for a fraction of the price and that came in twice as many shades.

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

Blah.

I brought this a while ago after hearing all the hype about its longevity and its matte finish. Well personally I LOVE the matte look so I spent $25 I think and brought one. BIG mistake. 1. It felt horrible to apply and I had to apply like three coats to get a decent color coverage. 2. It stung sooo bad!! 3. Was nowhere near as long wearing as advertised, in fact it smudged and rub off fairly easily for a lip stain. 4. The matte finish was not as silly as other brands I have used in the past, and it actually became very dry and crackled after about an hour. Will not be buying any more velvetines.

Tips: Don't buy

LIMECRIME Velvetine Review

So I LOVE liquid to matte lipsticks! They are my absolute fave, my make up kit has about 30+ of them. These are fantastic for people who are a little more "out there" and quite comfortable with themselves as the colours are quite bold and make a statement, but on the other hand there are a few neutral colours too which is nice. The applicator is nice I always achieve a perfect lip line without using a liner. They are super long lasting so you don't have to worry about re applying all the time! They smell amazing also. The only Problem with these is that they are quite drying! That would be the only down fall for me personally.

Tips: Would definitely use a lipscrub or lip balm before using these as tjese can be quite dry, also don't over apply product or it will crack and won't look nice!

One of my favs

I love my Velvetines - I have black velvet, pansy, cashmere, wicked, red velvet and riot. I still have more colours to purchase :) I never used to like matte lipsticks until i tried these. I don't know why, but I just fell in love (with the whole limecrime brand too). These lipsticks last all day at work and I don't need to reapply and when I wear these on a night out, I DON'T have to reapply! It amazes me :) They go on really smooth and i find they dry quite quickly. The applicator is easy to use and makes it easy to trace around your lips. If you make a mistake though, be quick with cleaning it up. I made the mistake of taking my time and it ended up staining! I ending up losing the plot (which involved a lot of swearing), wiping off all my make-up, starting again AND ended up late to my Uncles wedding. Please tell me I'm not the only one that gets like this when it comes to stuffing up my make up..... The only down side (which i don't really care about) is that they can feel like your lips are quite dry. But don't wear a balm underneath these, as it just doesn't dry up and ends up rubbing off. All in all - i love limecrime and i love these lipsticks.

Tips: Definitely exfoliate your lips before you use these matte lippies and slather your lips in a moisturizing balm of some sort (trilogy everything balm is my fav) and make sure you get it all off before you apply your velvetine. I always do this the night before so my lips absorb everything.

Use a lip liner to if you want to be perfect, but you really don't need too.

Amazing

I really love the velvetines tey have some awesome colours ranging from nudes to brights. It isn't drying at all for me personally and one of my favs is pink velvet. They also do last on the lips.

Tips: Avoid oily food eg. fried food as this is what kind of makes the colour come off. Also sometimes some batches or colours are more 'watery' than others but still looks great.

Lime Crime Velvetines

I love Lime Crime, the packaging is beautiful and palyful and the colours are uniquie. This would be getting a 5/5 but I found that my red velvet was a diffrent formula to my wicked and pink velvet as it didnt last as long and smudged/bleed more then the others. Over all the staying power is great, theyre vegan and pretty! whats no to love PLUS theyre relativly cheap ( I paid $25 off facebook new)

Fantastic pigmentation and lasting power

Ahhhh the velvetines - I can still remember the hype around these beautiful frosted tubes of colour with the fuchsia pink lid covered in hot pink roses. I really enjoy the shades and I've worn them several times whether it's to the office or a night out. Admittedly I have the more "tame" shades (in comparison to all the other crazy shades in the range) but they're still quite bold.

Red Velvet - a gorgeous blood red

Pink Velvet - a vibrant hot pink

Suede Berry - a coral based strawberry

Wicked - a dirty sangria

There's no room for sheer application with this lot, the opacity of the colours are just incredible - a swipe or two is all you need. One of the things I love about this product is that they don't take long to set so even if I'm in a rush I can quickly put it on knowing it will stay in place.

I love that they don't bleed or feather so I can skip the lip liner if I wanted to. They have fantastic lasting power, I remember the first time I wore it to work I kept checking my mirror to see if I needed to retouch and I did - AFTER 7 hours of wear! The colour stays vibrant for those 7 hours; so it's merely just fading around the edges but nothing blatantly obvious.

This product would have received top marks if it wasn't for the drying aspect. On the first day; there's probably just a bit of dryness on the lips but nothing that a lip conditioner can't fix. However what I noticed is that with consecutive days of use it actually just gets worse despite my best efforts to keep the dryness at bay.

If I know I'm going to wear this product or any drying lip product I always prep my lips the night before by using a lip exfoliator and lip conditioner and I repeat the process after I've removed the velvetine. Would I recommend this product? Absolutely I've gifted these to friends who love it just as much as I do.

My favourite is definitely Red Velvet. Lime Crime products used to be available in NZ however that changed not too long ago and you can only source it officially from the Lime Crime website.

Tips: Exfoliate lips and use lip conditioner before and after use of velvetine.

100% LOVE

Honestly, the only thing I could fault this for is its price. I got this in the colour of peachy and it was honestly amazing. I only just finished it p the other day and it lasted me a couple months with almost every day use ! this was finally the first lipstick I'd found that didn't smudge ! These colours are great for subtle day use but also can be dressed up with some other makeup to make look fancy LOVE LOVE LOVE

Tips: INVEST IN SOME ASAP

Amazing!!

I love this product, however this brand is controversial therefore I myself would not repurchase. The Velvetine I have tried was in the shade wicked. The formula was probably the most superior liquid lipstick I have tried, in comparison to Colourpop ultra matte or Australis velour lips. The lasting powder is beyond amazing, it stayed on for my school ball and even after eating it was still flawless. They can be tricky to apply but once applied will not let you down. The colour range is really cool and I would totally recommend to liquid lipstick lovers.

Tips: -Exfoliate lips first (try lush lip scrub) -Line lips with brush or corresponding lipliner
