It's been a little over a year since my last blog post, and I am happy to announce my return to the world of blogging. These past two years have been so busy with wedding planning, but I am now officially a Mrs!
I must say that wedding planning was the hardest thing I have ever done, but my wedding was such a blast and I got to marry my best friend. Since getting married, and working out my anxiety issues with a wonderful therapist, I decided to make the crazy leap from education to beauty and cosmetology. As I am trying to teach myself the art of makeup, I will also be doing reviews on some of my favorite beauty and skincare products to help out any newbies, such as myself. I look forward to hearing comments and tips from all of you darlings! Let's get to it!
LimeCrime Velvetines
Summary:
- Long-wearing, cruelty-free, vegan liquid lipstick
- Transfer-proof, dries matte- but doesn't dry out your lips
- Price is $20.00 (totally worth it!!) here on LimeCrime's website and here on Urban Outfitter's website
- Colors available are Red Velvet, Pink Velvet, Suedeberry, Utopia, Black Velvet, Wicked, and Salem
Oh my goodness, y'all! If you do not have a Velvetine liquid lipstick from LimeCrime, you are really missing out. Retailing at $20.00, I can see some of you getting scared, but don't be so quick to run. While the price may be higher than you might initially like, you are really paying for the quality of the product, and high quality makeup products mean you don't need as much, so they last longer. Also, while LimeCrime rarely has any sales or coupons, you can always get it here at Urban Outfitters online store and use their store coupons or deals on the price, although their packaging is not nearly as cute as LimeCrime (take a look at it from my recent Utopia order!).
Initially, I was so hesitant to buy a LimeCrime Velvetine because of the alleged controversy surrounding the company, but after hearing so many rave reviews of the product and getting a look into LimeCrime creator Doe Deere's wonderfully colorful life via her Instagram, I thought I would give their cult classic, Red Velvet a try.
I mean, guys and gals, look at that red! It's the perfect red, not too blue and not too orange (in terms of cool and warm). It compliments every skin tone, is ridiculously opaque and pigmented, and the application is so smooth. I don't even use a lip liner when I apply it, but you certainly can (Lining your lips with a lip liner will decrease bleeding or fading of the color!). After a few seconds, the liquid will dry matte, and although it is not 100% transfer proof, I would say it around 98% transfer proof, which is more than most matte lipstick colors can boast. Surprisingly enough, it also doesn't dry out your lips, either. Here are another few looks with me rocking my cruelty-free, vegan Red Velvet, and seriously, I have never gotten as many compliments on my lips as when I wear Red Velvet.

Here's a look at their latest color Utopia, a vibrant orchid, that I just could not resist or wait for! I ordered it as soon as I got the email for it!
If you don't have a Velvetine, do yourself the biggest favor and pick one up! I can promise you won't regret it! I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of them! :)
Peace and Love,
Farrah <3
