It’s not really hard to tell that I really love Lime Crime. The Velvetine’s formula is the one liquid lipstick that I love the best.
They cost £16 each from UK Suppliers or $20 USD from Lime Crime. Shipping to the UK is only $6.95 but doesn’t include taxes, that will be calculated and added at checkout.
I’ve been through my collection and picked out the more unusual colours for this post. Unfortunately, some of these shades may not be available by the time I post this, so I apologise in advance.
I got really excited when Lime Crime announced Serpentina was coming back as a liquid lipstick. It was my favourite shade in their Unicorn Lipstick range. Then I got it. It’s very sheer and quite patchy. It doesn’t layer well, the more you put on the more it breaks up. This one is a major disappointment. This swatch is three layers.
I have mixed feelings about Alien. It certainly doesn’t suit me. It’s also quite hard to get an even swatch but unlike Serpentina it layers well for two layers. After that, you’re getting into dry feeling lips territory. I like having it but I’d never buy it again.
Oh No She Didn’t is one of those iconic shades from Lime Crime. It’s the original unicorn lipstick and it’s a nice solid colour. It is, of course, a lipstick so it does smudge. It’s a little light for me but I do love it for its shock value.
Mermaid’s Grotto is a sheer lipstick that’s nice and blue. It’s one of those that should have given me a clue on how Serpentina would work. It’s better as a topper. The only way to get this opaque is to use so many layers it becomes unwearable.
Thistle is really the matte version of Oh No She Didn’t. I really like it because of the colour. It is opaque and comfortable.
I love Lime Crime’s Velvetine formula. For me, it’s the most comfortable on the market and even with these that holds true. I find the glittery ones a little less comfortable but still just a long-wearing.
