*REVIEW* Lime Crime Velvetine in Red Velvet

YAYAYAYAY.

I have finally acquired a product i've been lemming for forever,

thanks to my bestie :)

She got me the Velvetine I've wanted most, 'Red Velvet'.

AND IT'S AMAZING.

The Product:

A gloss that dries matte, giving your lips a smooth, velvet look.

This product has been around for well over a year now,

but they're still wildly popular and coveted :)

Some of it's Claims:

-A gloss that dries totally matte

- Touch/smudge proof

- Long lasting

- Comes in 3 shades

The Review:

As I said, i've been wanting this bad boy for a long time now.

Anyone remember my recent Revlon matte balm post?

Yeah, I bought that because it appeared to me a cheaper version of what I really wanted-

this velvetine!

Here it is:

:drools:

Yeah, this. is. awesome.

The velvet, matte look is to die for, for sure.

PROS:

- Does in fact dry to that sultry, velvety finish :)) LOVE.

- Goes on as a gloss, which makes it super easy to apply

- The brush is a standard gloss brush, but different from the Carousel Gloss 

brushes that LC uses now.

- LAST A LONG TIME. I ate, drank, sang, etc and it still took me awhile

to get off once it was time for bed haha. Definitely long lasting!

CONS:

- Pricey, with a price tag or $20 if you buy from their website

- Just comes in three colors. They've expanded their color options

by recently adding a pink, but I still wish they had more color choices.

They may be working up to that, though.

Verdict:

Whether or not I would suggest you buy this gloss depends on your budget, really.

If you don't have one (either because you're made of money or you're going to ask for it as a gift, ASK/BUY IT. Though it's $20, it does everything it claims and really is gorgeous.

However,

if you're on a stricter budget, Revlon's Matte Balm stains will do nicely.

'Standout' is a very similar shade to 'Red Velvet' and will suffice as a replacement.

It won't last quite as long as this one from LC<

but it will be a great compromise.

RATING (OUT OF 10): 9.5
