Limecrime Velvetines Lipsticks

Like most other girls - I’m a big fan of make-up and getting dolled up. A full face of makeup is never complete without a good lipstick. At the moment, matte lipsticks are my favourite. I just love the matte effect and how strong it looks!

MAC is usually my go-to brand, but recently I've been experimenting with new brands and seeing what else is out there. I came across LimeCrime lipsticks when a friend of mine kept telling me how good they were and that was enough to convince me to try it out for myself,  and I must say, I’m really impressed.

Before I tried this brand out, I must admit - I thought the packaging looked abit tacky... Like something you'd buy from a random hair shop. However, the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" couldn't apply more than it does here. I did my research and Limecrime is actually well known and popular in the States. I think their whole brand is supposed to be quite edgy and alternative, which explains their choice of packaging and their brand message.

 I have the two different colours below:
 1. Pansy (Purple)
 2. Salem (Brown)
• The lipstick is fully pigmented 
• Long lasting wear and I definitely mean this – This lipstick stays in place for the hours
• Soft texture – When you apply the lipstick, it’s initially liquid based then quickly matte’s out
• The price – for £13.17 I think they’re amazing and you can order directly from their website. The only downer is that shipping from the US to the UK is a flat rate of £10.95 – so it may be worth purchasing more than one at a time to get good value for money.

If your lips are quite sensitive, try their other sheen or glossy alternatives :)
