Okay coming to the packaging: -

 Lime crime Velvetines comes in a beautiful rosy red carton with frosted glass kind of tube through which you can see the shade and the level of how much it is there in it. The tube is sleek and it comes with a doe-foot applicator to apply the lip stain.

Lime crime velvetines are described as matte lip stain that will insanely stain your lips for hours without any fading. They are available in 6 shades and a new one that going to be launch very soon. Among all the 6 shades I grab red and pink the most hot selling lime crime velvetines. These two shades are most of the time remain out of stock so I have to order it through one of my friend.

My experience:-

Lime crime velvetines are famous for cruelty free, pigmented, long staying power and for drying properties. It is very obvious that when it comes about lip stain that lasts long it should be drying a bit so as to hold the shade without fading for hours on lips it has to be dry and lime crime velvetines just justify the point. So dry lips people should avoid these lip stains whereas matte lip products lover can jump to grab it. I personally love a lot matte lipsticks so these velvetines just click right for me. The shades are much pigmented, one swipe and it is enough to cover your lips. And the staying power? I seriously don’t think to describe that whereas lime crime are just famous for its long staying power, it stays beautifully 7-8 hours unless and until it is manually remove by some oil type makeup removers. It easily survives heavy meals and it doesn’t transfer here and there madly at all. The Velvetine are scented like some yummy cookies…I know it is not a good description of smell of a lip product but trust me atleast I found it smell like cookie which stays hardly few minutes after application. The velvetines has tendency to dry out quickly so it is suggested not to try to line your lips with it, otherwise you might end up with uneven dry lines so what I do …I simply draw outline with a red lip liner for red Velvetine in this case and followed by fill up with red Velvetine so it became very easy to draw the line over lip pencil and fill it quickly before it dries out. Proper exfoliation of lips before applying the velvetines is suggested else one might end up with uneven scaly lips showing all the fines lines of the lips too.

Here are few hand swatches of the Red velvetine along with few Lip swatches...lolzzz.... loads of pictures....:P

So here are the “ohh so good” and “ohh so bad points”:-

Good points:-

·         Nice sleek frosted glass packaging.

·         Pigmented.

·         Stays for hours.

·         Smells like freshly baked cookies.

·         Survive heavy meals without fading.

·         Doesn’t transfer here and there.

·         Never bleed or feather in summers.

Bad points:-

·         Availability.

·         They are not suitable for dry lips people.

My ratings: - 4.5/5

 And finally it is me with my favorite velvetine ....tadaaaaaaa !!!

My final verdict: - Despite of all the cons I just simply love the Velvetines as they are so pigmented, mattes and survive heavy meals…. so simply for these three points I will re purchase these Velvetines once I end up these, else the shades are pretty dupable so if u hate drying up your lips and love to flaunt your juicy or glossy lips then you can happily skip it.

Review and swatches of Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm stain in 020 Lovesick

Hello everyone,
Today i am up with review and some swatches on newly launched Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm stain in 020 Lovesick.
I just brought it few days back from our local store where i got it at Rs.590/- instead of Rs.600/- 

Now let see what the lip balm stain claim:-

It’s a pampering balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in an adorable chubby crayon. Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain gives softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush of color that lasts hour after hour. The gel formula comes in 12 vibrant shades that match any look or mood.

The 12 vibrant shades are :-

1. HONEY 
2. CRUSH
3. DARLING
4. CHERISH
5. LOVESICK [THIS ONE I BROUGHT]
6. SWEETHEART.
7. SMITTEN.
8. CHARM.
9. RENDEZVOUS
10. ROMANTIC
11. PRECIOUS
12. ADORE

The Product comes in a nice Chubby stick with a twisted steel color end that help to twist the lip stain like we do in lipstick.The color of the stick is individual for all shades so easy to find out in from your stash.It look  like near about Jumbo pencils of NYX.

Now my take:-

The first time i saw the lip balm stain telling you frankly I was not at all impressed by seeing it.In fact I went to the store to buy Maybelline 14hr lipsticks,so you can say it was not pre-planned.Infact I am a matte lover and spending 590 INR over a lip balm stain is not worth at all for me,for this reason i haven't brought Revlon Lip butter too..But as the Maybelline lipsticks was out of stock and I really need something to buy [yes i am lipoholic....I mean who love to buy new lipsticks every time they shop...heheeee my invention of "lipoholic"] so i brought it.I saw all the 12 shades but love this bright Pink.The color is little Fuchsia pink on my lips.Very well pigmented,I need just two swipes to get the actual color.And yes it is a lip gloss come lip stain,that don't become matte after few hours like the SA girl told me,so it will transfer on cup,glass....but leave a nice stain on your lips which looks like near about matte lipstick and it is really hard to remove even with face wash or makeup remover or any other facial cleanser [true by its 16hr claimation]. Now the bad thing is every time you wear it you need to exfoliate your lips and proper moisturizing before applying otherwise it will leave uneven stain on your lip"s creases focusing your fine lines and creases of your lips.In short I can say my money haven't wasted as i really started loving this lip stain very much :)

Pros:-

• True to its claimation of 16hr stain as really hard to remove.
• Pigmented.
• Easy to use as just by twisting like lipstick,no need of sharpener.
• No need of lip liner as it work both as lip liner and lip filler.
• although transfer on cup but leaves a lovely stain on lips.

Cons:-

• Expensive compare to quantity.
• Very soft in texture so it might broke in scorching heat of summer .
• Leave an uneven stain on lips if lips are not properly exfoliated and moisturizes.

My rating:- 

4/5 . One mark deducted for all Cons.

My recommendation:-

 Yes, If you loved Revlon Lip butter range then you will love this too and if you want a lip stain that really stays for long time on your lips then you should try it .

Revlon launched many shades in this range ,I think everybody will get atleast one color of their choice.
Have you brought this product yet?
