Lime Crime is known for creating "makeup for unicorns", they even have the quote on their packaging! Their vibrant colours and deep shades can be used by a variety of different people for a variety of different occasions and their Velvetines are no exception. Velvetine's cute, floral and bright red packaging only further attracts their audience and this design is copied on the liquid lipsticks' lid. What interested me the most about Lime Crime is that they are vegan-friendly. The four shades I will be reviewing are Beet It, Salem, Pumpkin and Zenon. The pictures below were taken at night with the flash on.
As soon as I opened them, Lime Crime's distinct, sweet chocolate scent filled my nose almost instantly. Once I began putting these on, I quickly noticed just how pigmented the colors were and with it's very smooth application I was able to cover my lips quickly with no problems. There were no visible streaks after letting them dry and the darker colours did not show any patches. When I previously wore these, they were also long-lasting, staying on my lips throughout the day.
But there are a few problems, even with a great product like this one. First of all is the lipstick's tendency to transfer its pigment onto other surfaces throughout the day. This is normal for liquid lipsticks, but if Lime Crime claims it is "touch-proof" then there shouldn't be any residue on other surfaces, let alone your fingers. Velvetines are long-lasting though, so I am not really bothered by it.
Another problem I have is the frosted glass that contains the formula. As much as it produces a beautiful look to the design, it keeps any dirty fingerprints, especially after using different products. I wouldn't have a problem with it if it wasn't difficult to clean!
To sum Lime Crime's Velvetines up, their matte liquid lipsticks are a must-have for your makeup bag. Some colours can be worn daily and others are for occassions. Nevertheless the products are amazing and I am thankful to have these with me!
