Lime Crime Velvetines

Lime crime has always been on my must try list until I saw they were releasing the new shade Utopia, It is the most gorgeous pinky purple colour you will ever see. I just had to buy it, just to imagine a grown woman running out to her mail box every day for 2 weeks until the parcel arrived, I was that excited, you think about what it will be like until you actually get it in your hands and you try it for yourself.

The packaging is gorgeous, the box I have kept because it is so sparkly and fabulous and im not normally the type of person to keep any boxes of any sort! The velvetine was exactly as it sounds, velvety and smooth, the colour is pigmented and thick, it slides on your lips and the applicator is smaller than I thought it would be. Its a lot more precise to outline your lips and get all the corners, AND THE SMELL! Who knew a lip product could smell so good!

It is by far the best lip product I own of any sort, the packaging, the colour, the quality and the smell are all amazing. I have already planned to buy more.

I have the wicked lipstain and it's my go to whenever i go out. I absolutely love the vibrant colour and the smell, Oh. My. God. I wish they had that in a perfume! best applied after a nyx liplinner as it can feather out. The colour stays really well and it doesnt come off unless you want it to. I wore it to my school ball so i could still kiss my boyfriend and he didnt have a mark on him whatsoever!

I currently have 4 of the velvetines - Suedeberry, Pink Velvet, Wicked and Salem and I cannot wait to get my hands on Utopia and Red Velvet.

I love wearing these lipsticks to work or when I am going out somewhere where I cannot touch up my makeup. I know that whenever I wear these bad boys, they are going to look exactly the same at the end of the night as they did when I first put them on.

The velvetine that I have used most, and would have to be my favourite, quite surprisingly is Salem, which is a deep brown colour. As I am so fair, it gives me that 90s grunge vibe, without the stark harshness that black lipstick gives me.

I got a Velvetine in Utpoia because I liked the idea of a bold colour - I don't normally go that bright. I found application easy and the texture agreeable. It turned matte shortly after application like it was supposed to.

Staying power can vary depending on if you're eating or drinking - so I may lose colour along my inner lips but mostly it does leave a stain of colour that requires makeup remover to take off.

I have 5 of these velvetines in Salem, Wicked, pink velvet, red velvet and suedeberry...and need to get my hands on the newest Utopia I like these so much due to the matte finish they give and the long lasting powers. These are perfect for a night out and they stay in place, and are food/drinkproof. They do leave a stain on the lips so I usually have to makeup wipe or exfoliate to completely get rid of the colour. Not only are they a great product but the packaging is also amazing and looks great in any makeup collection.

These are my favourite lipsticks ever! They're so unique. Firstly the package (as everyone says) is amazing! So detailed and cute. The product itself is soooo pigmented, more than any other lipstick I own! And this is in a lipgloss form. I do find that it is quite drying and begins to show the cracks in your lips after a while if they are dry. There are such amazing colours, slightly limited but there are new ones always coming out! These last for so long, as in hours without budge! They leave a stain on your lips too as they wear away which is cool, if you're eating definitley bring the lipstick with you, as it wears away in the middle. These lipsticks smell amazing! And are super easy to apply. Would definitley reccommend to everyone for a reasonable price& something different to add to your collection! :) such a velvety smooth texture that looks great on anyone! Can't wait to get some More

When winter came the brown and black Smokey eye and dark red lipstick was trending a lot! I brought the wicked Velvetine and fell in love. the colour is amazing and the texture is sooo soft and creamy. After about 5 minutes the lip stain set into a matte finish and lasted all day long. After I got wicked I brought Red Velvet, Pink Velvet and recently Utopia. The packaging is very cute with colourful roses. The product also smells great and has very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for great lip products.

Matte lipstick is my favourite finish on a lipstick. I have tried other brands of liquid matte lipsticks, but decided to take the plunge and try one of these.

I got the shade 'wicked', which is the most beautiful deep red shade (it is somewhat reminiscent of venous blood haha).

The packaging is nice - although I kind of wish it had the sparkly unicorns that the opaque lipsticks have. The lid has roses on it, which is pretty, and I love that the tube where the lipstick is, is frosted. It looks expensive and feels like good quality and very sturdy.

The first thing that I noticed when I opened it, was that the doe foot applicator is smaller than other brands of lip products. I actually quite like this as it makes it very easy to line the lips precisely.

As with other Lime Crime products, this has a light vanilla scent to it, which is pleasant and not at all overpowering.

In terms of the pigmentation of this - it gets 10/10. It is SO pigmented, which means you don't have to use a lot of product to cover your lips. It dries fairly quickly and, once dried, it has a beautiful velvet looking matte finish. It is very, very matte - so if you want a slight sheen or gloss when wearing this then you will need to put a lip gloss over the top of it.

These last a long, long time on your lips without moving or fading - unless you eat or get drink on them. If I don't eat and am careful with drinking, I can get about 6-7 hours of wear out of this before touching it up. If I eat, however, the product does degrade a little where food has touched my lips, so I take this with me if I plan to eat.

Because they are super matte they can be a little drying, although I personally don't mind this as I love the staying power. However, if dry lips are something you abhor, read my tips below on how to avoid that when wearing this :) You don't have to use a lip liner when wearing these, however I like to as when it starts to wear off it tends to bleed a little around the corners of my mouth.

Overall I absolutely adore this and very much want to get Salem, Suedeberry and Red Velvet to add to my collection. The colour Wicked is the perfect shade for vampy lips and I always get complimented when wearing it. It's one of my favourite ever lipsticks and I highly recommend it!

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!

OMG I dont wear lipstick everyday but when I do I want one that does what it says, and this ones does! I was so impressed, I had never heard of the brand before but my friend introduced me to it and now i am addicted! It goes on wet but dries to MATT and STAYS on all day or all night. I was truly amazed by this brand that my friend introduced me to. I love the colour that I bought, it stays bright throughout the day/night without fading.

I hope they bring out more summer colours as I am in love with the Pink Velvet one so far!
