I've always wanted to try Lime Crime but just never gotten around to buying it. I love the packaging and the colour range, they offer something so different but still pretty wearable. When I saw the new Velvetines collection I knew I needed one! The new collection has three colours and is called the Witches collection. The colours are a black, deep red and a brown with a hint of red. The idea behind the Velvetines is that they are a liquid lipstick that dry completely matte. They are transfer proof, touch proof and long wearing. I decided on the deep red. Firstly this lipstick smells amazing!! Like sweet caramel almost. They have a standard lip applicator which I think makes a pretty easy application. If you are new to lipstick I recommend a lip liner though. The product it self is very pigmented and I applied one layer and worked it in until it was even. I didn't have to re-dip the applicator for more product there was more than enough. It took a couple of minutes to dry and was completely matte and didn't have a dry feel to them. Around five hours later I had lunch and this did take a little of the product off but nothing that couldn't have been easily touched up. It did begin to feel pretty dry though so I used a light lip balm over it which did lift more of the product. Instead of touching up with the lipstick I used a normal deep red lipstick and it looked fine. All up it lasted around seven hours before I took it off. This product is really long wearing and the colour is beautiful, I just suggest that you pick what you eat carefully! I had sushi and the soy sauce was just too oily for the lipstick so shifted it more than what other food would. I do highly recommend them however! If you have naturally dry lips just ensure you apply lip balm at least 30mins before applying. Nicole xx
