Lime Crime Velvetines

The packaging is absolutely stunning with gorgeous roses on the lid and clear tube so you can see the product inside.

It has a doe foot applicator which I prefer to use.

I was given a couple of tips when given this which were to use a nude lip liner as this lipstick can sometimes bleed. The second tip was to apply bit by bit as it's highly pigmentated.

I actually haven't needed to use a lip liner as I find it doesn't bleed for me but I definitely follow the second tip I received, this gorgeous pink is so strong in colour, very bright and I only use a very small amount which means that the product will last a long time so is fantastic value for money.

My first time wearing it, my lips felt extremely dry. This was my first time ever wearing a matte lippy so thought I'd bare with it. I no longer feel like my lips are dry but suggest that you apply a lipbalm beforehand and see if that makes a difference?

I was completely gobsmacked when four hours later at lunch (when id normally reapply my lippy) my lips were still perfect....wow...and then a further two hours later is was still there staring at me through the mirror! Holy moly! After six hours, it had only come off in the corners of my mouth and inner lip area. This lippy has the most amazing staying power! EVER

Ive noticed over time that it doesn't transfer on to my coffee cup at all but comes off fairly easily if im eating something hot or greasy like hot chips etc

am I happy with this lipstick? YES would I recommend it? YES

I bought the colour Wicked and LOVE it! I never had a matte lipstick so matte. The staying power is unreal - oily foods are about the only thing to make it budge and even then it has good staying power. I get hours and hours out of this thing. The only downside for me would be the colour range - Wicked it super vampy (don't get me wrong I love it, but I have darker skin and am lucky to pull it off where a lot of my friends could not) and the others are super bold too. I guess that is what Lime Crime is about, but for such a long wearing formula I think something more daytime/work appropriate would be nice.

I was initially going to purchase pink velvet but I ended up buying Suedeberry and I LOVE IT! Firstly I love the smell, it's not too sweet or anything. Secondly I love the formula. It's thinner than what I thought it would be but it makes it easier to put on your lips. Suedeberry is such a pretty shade and once it goes on your lips it is seriously hard to get off. Also, like everything from Lime Crime, the packaging for these is STUNNING. 100% recommend these for every lipstick enthusiast.

I was quite unsure whether to jump on the lime crime bus. I had seen some mixed reviews, and it took my a long time to take the plunge.

I first bought one of these, and I wear it nearly every day. I love that I can put it on at home in front of my mirror every morning, eat and drink and all the usual things one does and come home time it is still on.

I'm forever touching up lipstick, but I simply don't need to with this. It is amazing - a must have for every make up lover

I LOVE THESE. And as they are a little pricey for my pocket i went in search of cheaper dupes. But after trying a few of the other 'matte lip laquer' type lippies It didn't take long to conclude that there is NOTHING in this world that is as good as these! These are the Lip sticks of all lip sticks and I love them. The packaging is cute, the colour pay off is fab and only a little product is needed AND it lasts HOURS!!! They are worth their money for sure and If my pocket allowed, I'd have them all!!! <3 <3

I have three Lime Crime velvetines and I really love them, especially red velvet. They dry into a matte finish on your lips and literally last hours so they're great if you're going to a party and don't want to keep reapplying lippy if you're drinking. Super impressed with the formula, hope they bring out more colours :)

I have Pink Velvet and i love love love it!!! Its a nice deep fuchsia pink colour. Gorgeous packaging as always from lime crime! I love the roses!! :) The wand makes the lippy easy to apply too. The formula drys to a matte finish and you don't need to reapply very often like other lippys. It has awesome staying power, it lasts for hours!! If you have dry lips you definately need to moisturise first with a lip balm. I have also put a gloss over the top if my lips feel a little dry and have found it to last well also. It smells nice too! I would love to get Utopia as well!! They are worth the money and I definately would recommend this lippy to anyone!! :)

I've been tempted to invest in a matte lip colour for a while now, but have been a bit skeptical as I've heard issues about bleeding etc. I got the opportunity to try a LC Velvetine and was instantly converted - they look amazing on and I got so many compliments on it, plus it lasted hours without needing to be reapplied (even when drinking and eating). I'm tempted to go out and buy the whole collection now!

I was lucky enough to be gifted one of these from a friend - Utopia, and the other Pink Velvet I picked up from Cosmic Corner online here in NZ. Lime Crime are no longer going to be stocking Aus and NZ though but from what I have heard from others ordering directly from the Lime Crime website is quick and has excellent customer service. I also follow the founder Doe Deere on instagram, she is the coolest woman!

Pink Velvet is a super bright pink, bordering on highlighter pink which I love. Utopia is more of a purple with a touch of pink. I'm still not used to wearing a purple, I see it on myself in the mirror and get a wee shock! Bare in mind there are no plain colours in this range so they are all different. I think this is awesome and brings something special and different to a makeup range.

The packaging on these is beautiful. The bottom is a clear frosted acrylic so you can see the shade of the lipstick through the packaging which I love. The lid is a dark shiny red with some pink roses on it. It says Lime Crime in white on the side and has the logo on the top, two unicorns. It feels high-end and classy. The applicator is a doe foot applicator which is quite short in length compared to other applicators I have used. I found the applicator easy to use which was a bit of a shock given the bright colour I expected it to be a lot harder to use.

The colours go on smoothly and almost glossy at first. They don't dry down straight away so you have some time to get them in the right place. They are a wee bit drying when they become matte but I think that is to be expected. Once dried down they also stay on really nicely. I do find the middle budges a bit when eating etc, but the outter stays put. Also when you reapply after eating etc it still sits nicely and looks like one layer.

I can't believe I took so long in trying Lime Crime products, so happy with the quality of these!

This is every burlesque kittens must have- Big Red Velvet lips that can be seen for miles!! This lip colour lasts for hours without the need of touch ups and doesn't budge under a bit of gloss either. It's a little runny to apply (definitely one to apply before getting in the car!) but after one application you'll get the hang of it. The colour is rich and opaque and the coverage is the same even if applied over a bit of balm (It can feel a little dry without). I will always have this product in my make-up kit.
