TLime Crime Velvetines are my favourite matte liquid lipsticks. I bought a few some time ago when everyone raved about them. I have Red Velvet, Wicked, Suedeberry and Pink Velvet. I love all those shades.
When I first the Lime Crime Velvetines, my lips went terribly dry and I was disappointed because they had raving reviews. So I thought I'd exfoliate my lips before I wore it and it was perfect! It was long lasting and survived the foods and drinks I had, except for greasy or oil food. It was also kiss proof, without it transferring on to the person. They are highly pigmented, so one application is usually enough, but I like intense lip colours and have two layers of it.
It’s shame that Lime Crime Velvetines are rare to find in New Zealand, but they came be shipped from overseas. I would love to try all their new shades!
Tips: Exfoliate your lips before applying it
This is the first time I've ever used limecrime liquid lipsticks before and it's not going to be the last because they are incredible.
Moonstone is a pastel purple shade very lilac. A light weight formula and non drying but has incredible staying power.
This formula is so smooth it makes the application very easy! However with it being such a light shade it does require a couple of coats to get a even coverage without it looking streaky.
I noticed no transfer what so ever which is amazing. It stays on through eating and drinking. I'd like to point out taking it off = Misson! It's so hard to get off I tried a makeup cleanser oil and a balm to get it off, while majority of it came off I had to get a flannel onto the lips to give them a decent scrub to remove this shade entirely.
If you are looking for a matte liquid lipstick that has incredible staying power and a non drying formula you need to look into these! Limecrime have some really unique and beautiful shades.
Velvetines are my favourite of all liquid lipsticks. The consistency is nice and thin, and goes on so nicely, but the colour is still very opaque and layers like a dream. It dries very quickly, which is good because it wont feel tacky for long, and once it has dried, it doesn't budge! Unless you're eating greasy food, this will last hours - smudge-proof, waterproof, kiss-proof, whatever, its not going anywhere. Which is fine because it is not at all uncomfortable, and probably the least drying liquid lipstick I have used.
Tips: Definitely look up swatches before you buy! Look up many different types of swatches, and on different skin tones. They can look very different on other people, especially with differences in undertones and the use of filters on pictures online
I didn't want to try these and I definitely didn't want to like them. I had heard that they were drying and not that great, and after all the negative press about the company I just never bothered. Then, one day, I found myself in the clearance section of Nordstrom Rack in Honolulu, looking at $6 Lime Crime Velvetines, and .... well I had to.
I now regret only getting one.
I chose the shade 'Polly' - a pink-mauve matte that is subtle, pretty, and infinitely wearable.
The packaging for these is gorgeous - a frosted glass tube showing the colour, with a rose-printed cap; this looks classy. The applicator is a short-wanded doe foot.
The formula is thin but not runny - I do find I need to scrape the applicator ad too much comes out at once. It's easy to apply and one thin layer is sufficient. It takes a little longer to dry than I would ideally like, but once dry, passes the 'touch test' with flying (lack of) colours, not transferring easily at all.
After eating and srinking and life for a few hours it starts to fade, but this is true of all lipsticks - I'm yet to meet one that can handle hours with no impact at all. Lips are left noticeably retaining colour, though , and the way this wears off is a lot more even than some in my collection.
In short I'm a big fan, and kicking myself for not buying the other shade there I wanted - Wisteria.
Tips: thin layers - the thick ones don't dry easily!
This is the perfect blue based red, it's a bit drying but I love matte lipstick and it lasts all day. It doesn't last through meals very well though, but it's the longest lasting lipstick I've ever used. I haven't found a pale pink that would be nice In this range though
Tips: Only apply once very sparingly as it's super pigmented.
These are super pigmented! I have this in three colours, they literally last all day and night. They can be drying so i apply a thin coat of lip balm throughout the day. They have a nice sweet smell that dosent linger too long, they are easy to apply and have a smooth texture. Pricey but the quality makes it worth it. Easy applicator to use. Always have one in my bag, on my shelf and in storage. Love these!
My favourite item in my makeup bag! It doesn't move, and is super smooth to apply. I find I dont need to lip line as it doesn't seem to bleed on me and requires minimal re applications. As my tubes run out, I mix them with a bit of plain lip balm and they make a nice lip stain
Tips: Be super accurate when applying as once it's on it can be hard to correct.
This one of my absolute favourites for liquid lipsticks I probably own around thirty different colours. They last almost all day and come in such a fun range of colours.
Additionally they don’t require a lipliner and are super full coverage. Lime Crime also regularly does sales on their velvetines.
The only negative is that they only have 2.6ml worth of product compared to a Kat Von D one or a Jeffree Star which has 6.6ml and 5.6ml of product respectively
LOVE LOVE LOVE this product.
Stays on all day. Well at least 6hrs without having to reapply Love the colour range. Smell and texture are great. Also love that i can kiss my man without it coming off.
Only down fall is how drying it can be.. i wouldnt use it daily for this reason.
Tips: Re apply after eating
