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?!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

one of my all time favourite liquid lips.They last all day and hardly move! i can go a full day eating and drinking like normal and it still looks like i just applied it. Amazing colour range too! worth the price they are! love the packaging. I have used 3 tubes of cashmere because i love it so much!!!

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!

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.
