Lime Crime Velvetines Liquid Matte Lipstick, Wicked - French Vanilla Scent - Long-Lasting Velvety Matte Lipstick - Won't Bleed or Transfer - Vegan

I'm very impressed with this product..I've been on a hunt for a gorgeous deep dark red color for a while now. The lime crime wicked is exactly what I had in mind..and the texture of it is so smooth in fact velvet is a good word for it. It glides on like a thick gloss at first but dries down within seconds, and the color dries evenly..sometimes these type of products when they dry down they get crackly and flaky but this one doesn't it stays very smooth and matte. It doesn't feel like heavy on your lips and it lasts a long time. When I tried it on I had to take oil makeup remover to it and it was hard to get off! I'm very happy with this purchase and if you're looking for a beautiful color try wicked!!

This is a great lip color for dark-complected African American women. The color is rich and, although I already use teeth whitening products, it makes my teeth look even more insanely white when I smile. The product goes on wet and takes a while to dry. Once it is dry, it stays on and doesn't fade or move until there is water or oil from eating on the lips. Then it gets a little messy and can smear on the teeth.The only other con with this product is that is must be applied with a lip liner. I have tried to use it with out lip lining and it didn't turn out as well as I'd hope. Because the product is rich in color, it can stain the skin around the mouth if there is not lip liner to help guide its application. Once the stain is on the skin around your mouth, it's not easy to come off. But other than this, it is a wonderful product and I highly recommend it.

LOVE IT!!! Got the Wicked shade in just in time for New Years Eve and decided to wear it. The color looks gorgeous and rich. I put it on around 730pm and it stayed on (without reapplying) till I removed it around 3am *dinner and drinks included*.On my skin tone, it came off as a dark reddish and sometimes almost brownish color. It really depended on what kind of light I was in.I prepped my lips by buffing with St Ives apricot scrub and the CO Bigelow lip buffer. I then put a thick layer of regular Vaseline on my lips to seal in the moisture and make then soft while I applied the rest of my makeup. When it was time for the lips, I gently wiped the vaseline off (not all of it! - just enough that my lips still slid smoothly against each other). I then lined my lips with a generic lipliner just so I could get the right shape (the last thing you want to do with a liquid lipstick is make an oops) and then applied Wicked (as the others said, a little goes a long way with this color -- it is very rich).

The color of this product is gorgeous. It was darker than I expected it to be and I love it. However, there are a few things to take caution with this product:1. It is very matte. As I was applying the product to my lips, it was already drying. So if I messed up, I had to go back and take off what I put on, then start again. Also, if you do have bigger lips (like I do), you have to work quickly to get a even and streak free coat.2. Just like with any matte lipstick, it tends to be very drying. About an hour into wearing the lipstick, my lips felt very dry. I didn't apply chap stick to the lipstick itself, but I will try that and update this with the results of it.3. This matte lipstick doesn't move. I drank with it on, ate with it on, laughed, kissed, etc. It will not move. There was no lipstick marks left on anything. WIth that being said, it took an act of Jesus to remove it from my lips. I had to let a makeup wipe set between my lips for a couple of seconds to get the matte lip to move.Overall, it is a great product. I love the color and sometimes the issues I mentioned above can be user error and not the product. But this review is my experience of the product. I would buy it again. :)

This is what I have been looking everywhere for. Just that perfect shade of dark red. I was kicking myself for spending so much after I bought it but then I wore it for a full day and now I'm probably going to buy another. The stuff goes on, dries quickly and stays for HOURS, even after drinking and eating. It can be smeared a little bit but you've pretty much got to do it on purpose. I put it on around 7 am and wore it all day to a graduation, through dinner and drinking with lots of lip-smacking and talking. By 2 am it wasn't as thick and dark as it was when applied but it was still there. I don't know much about lip liners but if you smear it on right, a bit of excess liquid on the rims of your lips look like a defined line to me. By 2 am it bled into the tiny cracks a little at the edges though. (Not that you'll care anymore at 2 am) Use makeup remover for easy removal.Oh and I did NOT receive any discount for my review like so many fake products do on Amazon. This is the real stuff. No filter for actual shade in my picture. Definitely recommend.

Because of all the hype, I decided to try the velvetines out despite my best judgment. I knew matte products did not suggest that it should be moisturizing. As a matter of fact, you'd be lucky if it wasn't drying..I have dry lips, its not always cracked nor bleeding, but pretty dry most of the time. even the revlon lip butters aren't moisturizing enough if i don't put a hydrating lip balm on top first. so i was just praying it wouldn't peel on me and it luckily it didn't, but i honestly believe this was the case since i purchased this dark color, so any dryness wouldn't jump out at you right away. and because I was working that day and consistently talking to customers when i tested this out, i put on a clear gloss which completely ruined the idea of a matte gloss..lol anyhow, for the product itself on normal hydrated non-problematic lips, I can completely understand the fascination and obsession with these as they are pretty darn revolutionary. they go on so pigmented almost like a stain, and its matte so its that much more true to its color and it's lightweight. think of it as a much more intense benitint and more viscous, but not close enough to what you'd think a gloss would feel like
