Lime Crime Velvetines

I HATE applying these things. Red Velvet is VERY unforgiving if you happen to go outside your lip line. You pretty much have to start allover again. It's taken some time for me to get the hang of them. Suede Berry is a bit easier.

Red Velvet is definitely my favourite, i haven't tried the Pink or Black velvets yet. Suede Berry is ok, but i find the colour average. RV is just perfect and would suit any skin tone, in my opinion. It's also blue based so your teeth look super white!

Only con (apart from the dreaded application) is they're quite drying, so moisturise beforehand.

Ok so wow!!! Red velvet !!!!!

The packaging was incredible the tube amazing!!!

The colour? To die for pin up red :)

I got this for my birthday last year , the old style box with a carousel and horse... I applied it immediately and fell in love.

It lasts well, the only downfall is that it did wear off while drinking and eating.

And I am converted. Have seen lot's of my friends making purchases recently and have finally jumped on the bandwagon. My biggest issue was I didn't want to buy them online, I wanted to see them in real life and swatch the colors. I discovered a shop in Wellington CBD sells them, so off I went. I purchased 'Suedeberry', a bit brighter than I initially wanted, was on the hunt for 'Wicked' but obviously it was sold out. Goes on somewhat easy but I think it will take a while to master, I would definitely recommend lining your lips first to avoid it bleeding out. I love that its touch proof but the inner did wear throughout the day with eating and drinking but nowhere near as much as what a normal everyday lipstick would have. I loved being able to go into a meeting and not worry about smudging or needing to re-apply. I will definitely get 'Wicked' when the new stock comes in.

My only issue was the removal.. not as simple as just wiping it off, the only thing I found in my bathroom that actually took it off was my toner, which probably wasn't the best thing for my lips so any suggestions would be welcomed!

Such a gorgeous colour!, a little goes a long way with this product, it goes on full and with a heavy pigment. However, i found its staying power wasnt too effective and am left with it only on the outer lip and it had all worn off in the middle within a couple of hours or after a drink

i love Lime Crime, so a week ago i decided to get the Velvetine Wicked and i love it :) quite dark but gorgeous, got so many comments on it. I hope they bring out more soft colours as theyre all quite bold (which i love but a soft colour would be nice); but overall amazing product :)

I love the look of matte lips, so I am a fan of Lime Crime Velvetines. The colours are rich and stay on for a long time. It does rub off after a while, it almost chips off from the inside of the lips, but need to worry about it coming off when you eat or getting any on your teeth!

As it is also a stain you need to be careful when applying because once it goes on it is hard to get off.

I loved the Lime Crime Velvetines, although they do dry out your lips. I put lip balm on top every couple of hours which seems to do the trick.

Absolutely love lime crime products!!!! It's such long lasting an the color holds amazing!!! I would recommend this to anyone an also can't wait to try out some of the brighter colors

I have tis in pink velvet i purchased it as i wanted something long lasting for going clubbing without having to reapply throughout the night whist drinking and I was not dissapointed. Firstly the packaging is so cute with the metalic looking lid. I dont think this is a colour i would personally wear day to day but defineatly one for those nights out. Its long lasting and doesnt come off! The formula is very drying so I have to use my lip scrub and moisturise before i apply. The finish is matte but if you prefer a glossy look you can always apply your favourite lipgoss over it. Im unsure how to discribe the smell but its defineatly not unpleasant.

I own black velvet and utopia and love them both! They don't dry out your lips and last quite a few hours. It's great when going out clubbing and don't want to keep re applying your lippy. Utopia is such a vibrant colour that it's easy to have subtle eyes and look great! Certainly need to stock up on the rest of the colours.

The only downfall with the velvetines, and any other dry, matte lip colour is that to much application can leave the colour looking cracked and actually start to chip off. So any re application only needs to be on the bare part of the lips, or remove it all completely and start fresh!
