Lime Crime Velvetines Liquid Matte Lipstick, Feelins (Deepest True Red) – Bold, Long Lasting Shades & Lip Lining – Stellar Color & High Comfort for All-Day Wear – Talc-Free & Paraben-Free

Vegan Holy Grail
Finding vegan cosmetics is so difficult. Usually, you have to settle for the cheap drug store products that sometimes work and sometimes don’t. Lime Crime outdid themselves with this liquid lip. Not drying, not greasy, not sticky, super pigmented, dries matte, and most importantly (for a liquid lip), LONG LASTING. Use a primer and lip liner and this will last the whole day without needing reapplication. Seriously, you should get this lipstick.

Long wear, color not as shown
I’m not pleased with color as it is not representative of what is shown – shown purports to be mauveish greige however my bottle is defiantly more brown. I’ve worn on lips and swatched on hand in both one coat to two coats. Each swatch produces a different finally dried down color that is more in the brown family. Firmly in the brown family with little mauve for first couple hours especially. Quite disappointing as it seems different batches from the company produce different colors that are not consistent. My 1st cashmere bought long ago was perfection as color shown from initial wear to taking it off. As consumers we buy most products based on consistency having liked a color, scent, flavor etc. I do enjoy the superior wear time for this lipstick as it does better than all my long lasting lip products. Drying lip feel isn’t a big problem at all for me as I prep lips well every day and night. This hasn’t cracked or caked or peeled off in little pieces Very pleased with wear time and literally no transfer unless eating heavy oil item that you bite directly or very hot coffee sipped from a mug. The lipstick will wear off slightly if continued exposure to the hot coffee but doesn’t wear off on cup. Just starts to flake on lips. If the color would be consistent back to what is pictured it would be a nearly unbeatable liquid matte lipstick. Swatches below show indoor first two as it appears more brown. Last photo taken four hours after application in natural light makes the color appear more true to company lip swatch. Of course lip color skin color can alter final color. But true color seems to appear a couple hours after application both on lips, hand swatch so maybe that’s the key to color differences? Hope this info helps as really it seems the color will vary but overall wear, consistency of texture are wonderful. Light vanilla (maybe just sweet) scent dissipated after first five minutes on lips.

Flakes, bleeds, cakes, and stains UPDATE: THINLY APPLIED IS THE KEY TO GETTING THIS LIPSTICK TO LOOK GOOD!
UPDATE: I applied this product with a brush rather than the applicator it comes with and it worked MUCH better. I was able to apply it more thinly and it still stayed true to color and didn’t cake up or dry out my lips, and it lasted all day! If you really want this color, and are looking for a clean, dry feeling, just keep in mind that a little dab’ll do you. Added 1 star.Really disappointed by this product. This was a little expensive for me, but got such great reviews I thought it was probably worth it. Unfortunately, not.I was pleasantly surprised by the sugar cookies smell, and although these kind of applicators are always a pain, it was velvety smooth once properly applied and exactly the shade I’d hoped for.I use a lot of different kind of lipsticks, and I love bright red, so I’m pretty good about knowing how to properly apply lipstick, especially new ones that I’m not sure about yet. One of the best ways to avoid flaking is to exfoliate the lips before applying, which I did, and it still flaked. Badly. Now, this is not supposed to be stain, or I would have expected the drying, but it did dry out my lips significantly.It was only an hour or two into the work day when I realized that it was starting to bleed outside my lipline. I was surprised by this because a) it dried so quickly I didn’t understand how it could have been wet enough to seep outside of where I put it and b) as I said, I’m an experienced lipstick applier/all-day-wearer and I’m in the habit of not touching my mouth and being careful when drinking anything throughout the day. I would have expected it to last through a meal, but this was very clearly bleeding, not smearing, because it formed those little perfect wrinkly lines away from my lips.Next came the caking. Sometimes you just have to learn how to wear a lipstick, so I fixed up the bleeding by wiping the edges of my lips and reapplying the product, and resolved to check in on it and be more careful in case I really had caused the messiness myself. A few minutes back at my desk, and my lips became so dry they hurt, and I could physically feel it clumping up again. I went back to the bathroom to check, and it was honest to g-d lumpy AND it was bleeding again!I had a meeting in half an hour, so rather than suffer through it feeling self conscious, I wiped it off. For something that wouldn’t stay on my face when I wanted it to, now it had stained my lips in bright red patches! And I don’t mean a faint pink, I mean the same color as the lipstick was stuck to the drier patches all over my lips. I managed to only just barely look presentable by applying some chapstick over it.The only reason this gets two stars instead of 1 is because it might be alright if you’re wearing it to an event, like if you’re doing a dance performance or a wedding. Even then, I might not risk it. But it is definitely not an everyday lipstick.

This lipstick stains your lips and is very durable. I would suggest that if you were to apply this that you put on som lip balm before hand as the formula is quite drying. The product is great and doesn’t smell bad.
