Lime Crime Velvetines lipcream Swatches
Price: P941.79/$20 (each)
Where to buy: Available on www.limecrime.com
Lime Crime launched their Unicorn Lipsticks, making them the first to introduce distinct and radical lip colors to the market. The first Velvetines followed in 2012, and lead the way in the hugely popular liquid to matte lipstick trend. All of Lime Crimes products have been cruelty-free since its inception in 2008.
Moisturizing Properties - No, this cannot moisturize your lips. This can make your lips dry than usual. If you want to wear this all day, you need to apply first a lip balm with spf to moisturize your lips while protecting it from harmful UV rays.
Highly Pigmented - This section is what I'm focusing in finding the perfect lip products. I can say that these products are rich in color. You can see a vibrant color in just one coat. No need to apply another coat to have the shade you want. A small amount goes a long way.
Long lasting - I love how long lasting this matte lip creams. I expect a long lasting effect because it's a matte lippie right? I can have a drink on coffees, juice and even a simple water without any changes on the thickest of the shade. But the thing about matte is; it can easily remove when your lips is expose on oily foods.
Bleached - I love this color because it makes my lips to look a full pout. Bleached is perfectly paired to summer outfits.
Cashmere - As you can see, this color didn't look great on my lips on the photo above. So I will not recommend this shade to some morenas.
Riot - On these collection, this is my favorite because it has a reddish pink shade. Riot is perfectly paired to any outfits.
Faded - I love this one, becaue this color gives a radiant glow to my face. Faded is perfectly paired with monochrome outfits.
Wicked - I totally love this color because Wicked is perfectly paired to feminine outfits, pure whites and music festival night parties.
Salem - This is the same as the color of wicked but Salem is a little bit darker. This color can be paired also to pure whites, feminine and night parties. But for me, I prefer Wicked than this.

I noticed that those highly pigment lip creams with vibrant colors don't have moisturizing properties. The lipnicure by CLIO comes to my mind. I don't know if it's purely coincidental or it's really that way for lip creams. Based on the photos that you showed, Riot is also my favorite. I think it looks stylish and it can be worn everyday. Thank you for sharing :)

ReplyDeleteI like wiked and riot
I love bleached and riot! I'm not a lippie fan but I'm starting to discover these things now because of my teammates. Haha. How much are these? :)
ReplyDeleteI love matte lippies but it sucks that they dry up my already dry lips :( From your swatches above, since I lean more to reddish tones, I'd love to get my hands on some Riot, though I love how intense Wicked looks.

What beautiful colors! Thanks for the tip about the lip balm! I've tried long lasting colors before and I love the effect but often they do try the lips. I think Faded looks amazing on you and I would love to try it myself!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely colors! These remind me of the items I got from MeNow Kissproof and MeNow liquid lipgloss. Currently eyeing on Cashmere, Salem and Wicked. I wonder how much are those. :D

Wow! This is one of the good lipstick reviews I had read. And this is my first time to hear about this lipstick line, I wonder how much they cost? I'm interested to try one! I like Bleached, Riot and Wicked!
ReplyDeletei'm not really into lipsticks as im usually satisfied with just my mint lip balm. But i would like to try the Bleached and Wicked shades, as I havent tried wearing nudes yet.
ReplyDeleteLove the bleached and riot the best. I find the cashmere pretty intriguing on me. Thanks for the lead.
ReplyDeleteRiot and Bleached for my top choices though I am not really into lipsticks. All look fine with you, dear! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish Dorothy I could wear lipstick too. HahahaAnyway before I read that riot is your favorite, looking at the photo its the most stunning. I love that color too ;) sweet and sexy!
ReplyDeleteI like the colors on the left side. Sadly, matte lipsticks do not work for me. My lips easily get dry. Even moisturizing lipsticks cause my lips to chap. So, I usually wear lip balm or gloss instead.
