Lime Crime Velvetines

I am in love with my Lime Crime Velvetine in the colour Wicked. It's bold, daring and has a depth of colour that I have found hard to compare to any other product I have tried. It's goes on so smooth and creamy but dries to a velvet finish - without drying your lips. This stuff is long lasting and could even be considered a stain. I wear it on stage when I sing and it stands up to the microphone test where I need only to touch up after each set. This however is where my sadness comes in. Lime Crime have stopped selling their products in NZ and I have heard a rumour that they made have shut up shop altogether? Eeek what to do?!!

Absolutely loved the colour selection,and the pigmentation from the Veletines, only down fall is that they left my lips insanely dry and chapped. And I always use a lip balm or primer before hand, but still my lips would dry out within a few hours.

I have a found a few dupes which are cheaper and don't leave my lips as dry.

I love these velvetines, lovely colours and pigmentation. Only thing is the price is quite steep and they dry your lips like crazy, they are definitely a product you'd use every so often (well they are for me) because having this lipstick on feels rather uncomfortable and the intensive treatments to repair your lips afterwards are too time consuming for me personally!!

I have had 2 of these suedeberry and wicked. Both beautiful, they dont dehydrate my lips, my fav of all time is wicked. they both last ages, as in hours throughout the day, they dont feather, they dry fast , theyre opaque Luckily though many other brands are coming out with liquid lipsticks because even though this is a really great product I wont be repurchasing this or recommending it to a friend. I only have wicked left and when it runs out i will put it on my mantel as one of the greatest and best lip products i have had the pleasure of using.

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.

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

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.

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.
