This is my go to liquid lipstick for a matte finish. It lasts for ages and does not smudge off even after eating and drinking. Favourite lipstick to use.

Reviews
Lime Crime is such an exciting and colourful brand. Love that they’re vegan and have such a huge range of products! But I was disappointed with my Red Velvet Matte Velvetine :(
Great packaging of course! And easy-to-use applicator. The shade was also to die for.. my only problem with it was the quality. I found that I was comparing it to matte lipstick products that were 5x cheaper, such as Colourpop. I could easily wear any of my Colourpop lipsticks for an entire day, eating and drinking, and would not need to reapply whatsoever. Whereas with my Velvetine it was cakey and didn’t stay on very long at all.
In the end I’d rather have it displayed on my makeup mantle than actually wear it out.
This one of my absolute favourites for liquid lipsticks I probably own around thirty different colours. They last almost all day and come in such a fun range of colours.
Additionally they don’t require a lipliner and are super full coverage. Lime Crime also regularly does sales on their velvetines.
The only negative is that they only have 2.6ml worth of product compared to a Kat Von D one or a Jeffree Star which has 6.6ml and 5.6ml of product respectively
My favourite item in my makeup bag! It doesn't move, and is super smooth to apply. I find I dont need to lip line as it doesn't seem to bleed on me and requires minimal re applications. As my tubes run out, I mix them with a bit of plain lip balm and they make a nice lip stain
Tips: Be super accurate when applying as once it's on it can be hard to correct.
These are super pigmented! I have this in three colours, they literally last all day and night. They can be drying so i apply a thin coat of lip balm throughout the day. They have a nice sweet smell that dosent linger too long, they are easy to apply and have a smooth texture. Pricey but the quality makes it worth it. Easy applicator to use. Always have one in my bag, on my shelf and in storage. Love these!
I love most of the Limecrime products I’ve used!
I love the Velveteens - good colouring giving a good coverage in usually just one application. I do find they can be quite drying though, so always use a good quality lip balm before application. Most colours I have used stay put, only needing a light touch up after eating or mid afternoon.
I do like the lighter colours to use as a base for the Diamond Crushers
Tips: Use a good lip balm before application
Use a lip liner - some colours I have are a little runny, and a lip liner helps stop them bleeding.
Use as a base colour for more depth when using the Diamond Crushers
I bought this after being recommended it by a friend and it quickly became my favourite! It went on beautifully with high pigment, was long wearing and didn't smudge! I ended up buying many different colours so I'd have one to go with everything!
Tips: I found I needed to use actual make up remover on my lips to get this off and is quite drying so apply sparingly and use a good hydrating lip balm when you remove it!
This is the perfect blue based red, it's a bit drying but I love matte lipstick and it lasts all day. It doesn't last through meals very well though, but it's the longest lasting lipstick I've ever used. I haven't found a pale pink that would be nice In this range though
Tips: Only apply once very sparingly as it's super pigmented.
I didn't purchase my lime Crime from the official Lime Crime website. I got them new from Trademe and they swore they weren't fakes and were authentic time crimes. However I'm not sure because I did t find the quality all that great. The lipstick went quite flakey and cracked and the colour smeared quite a bit. I wasn't pleased with the result however I must try ordering from the the lime Crime website and compare the quality as they may have been in fact fakes.
I recently tried the Lime Crime Velvetines matte liquid lipstick and I have to say, it's quickly become one of my favorite lip products! The color payoff is amazing - one swipe and you have a highly pigmented, vibrant shade that lasts all day without fading or smudging.
What I love most about this lipstick is its texture. Despite being a matte formula, it's surprisingly comfortable to wear, thanks to its velvety smooth consistency that glides on easily and doesn't dry out my lips. And once it's on, it stays put for hours without feeling heavy or cakey.
Another great thing about this product is the range of colors available. Whether you're looking for a bold, statement-making shade or something more understated, there's a Velvetines lipstick to suit your style. And the packaging is so cute!
Overall, I would definitely recommend the Lime Crime Velvetines lipstick to anyone who loves bold, long-lasting color with a comfortable matte finish. It's a bit pricier than some other lip products on the market, but the quality and longevity are well worth it in my opinion. I can't wait to try more shades!
