Lime Crime Pink Velvet
Ah! Finally!!
Something I was waiting to write about. Lol. This is exciting :D…. because the
excitement among ladies before its launch was quite unbeatable. Yeah forget the
lipstick for a while but its launch, which was announced months back was so
hilarious.
Lime Crime Velvetines is already an
acclaimed line among the female crowd. The best seller of Lime Crime which was earlier
available in the shades “RED VELVET” and “SUEDEBERRY” decided to launch a new
shade called “PINK VELVET” on Black Friday.
The funny part was that their
website jammed for three days. Like seriously??? :o …. I was floored ….. three
days …and even after being told by them to give it sometime…the excitement
among ladies did not cease. Trust me, on their Instagram page I had read
comments like- is the launch as per CST,,,,PST,,,, blah blah ….I would need to
put an alarm…lol really??? ; the best was- I have been trying continuously since 9 hours…..finally
went through…OHH GOD! Madam…. I am glad
it went through….else I don’t know how much more time you would have wasted in
refreshing the page.. hahaha..that was pretty hilarious. I mean it is not like
the world was ending that day….
I got mine after 3 days… when their
poor website gained some conscious…..no insanity for me! :D but….but…it took 17
days to arrive…..ohh yeahh!!! A massive flood took place!!

When it arrived... damn!! The packing….wow!!
I am a sucker of good packaging let me show you how it looked and also the
template of my blog is quite similar.. NO JOKE! :D
Isn’t it beautiful??
As the name says the texture of this lipstick….
So velvety, smooth, is just marvelous. The shade “red velvet” is a dark red,
quite similar to that of MAC’s Ruby woo, warm toned and “Suedeberry”- more of a
coral red, cool toned; bit similar to MAC’s Lady danger. After two best variant of Red, they finally
decided to go pink. Yes and as I said in my “Sephora color lip last” review that I am
totally a Pink fanatic and a matte lipstick person. This lipstick has to be
here. :D. The only thing I don’t like about matte lipsticks is their application;
I mean those are dry and difficult to swipe. So Liquid to matte works wonders
for me.
Price: $20
What it claims?
Lip stain that goes on liquid
and dries completely matte. Touch-proof, long-wearing, and utterly addictive!
Supremely
true its words, this lipstick surpassed all my expectations. The color
is a cool toned bright pink; more like neon. I just love the pigment. See the
picture below, you can see that I applied it the same way I showed in my last
post- “Pucker up”. Although I just applied a single swipe, I think double swipe
would look even better. I have so many different variants of pink but this one
wins the hands down!!

A MUST… MUST have! If you were unable to get it that time, now its available plus you can get it cheaper here (including shipping and taxes).

Sephora Color Lip Last Number 12
Every time I am buying something specific I always look for it's
reviews on internet, specially if it is a cosmetic product. We don't want to take a chance
on that. Do we? So I decided when I buy something that needs a review, I would
definitely do.
So today I am gonna write about SEPHORA Color Lip Last lipstick in
number 12. Well let me first tell you that I got this lipstick the third time I
went to buy it because it was out of stock. Hint: It realllyyy has
something.
What it claims:-
What it is:
A radiant lipstick that lasts up to 10 hours with an incredibly comfortable feel.
What it does:
This exclusive, multitasking formula locks in color and provides comfortable wear for a beautiful pout that lasts. The high-coverage pigments distribute intense color and are mixed with a setting agent that acts as a base for the lips. The ultra-thin texture feels light and the waterproof formula makes it refreshingly smudge-proof.

This is the online link to this lipstick, if you want to take a look at it and it's other shades:- http://www.sephora.com/color-lip-last-P313004?skuId=1388933.
It is called ROYAL RASPBERRY and the color is MATTE FUSCHIA. This
is a matte or semi matte color of the line (it has some metallic shades too). This is how it looks like from the
outside. Black and sleek, in a stick form.

True to its name, it has some long lasting formula. like really
long lasting better than any of the MAC's long lasting lipstick. It is MATTE yet
MOISTURIZING, has some velvety touch which I really like. You would really
love this lipstick if you like Matte lipsticks but don't want your lips to dry
out. You would not really know it's Matte effect while applying until 5 minutes, when it turns completely Matte.
It has some Rose Hip oil which makes this swipe so easily unlike all
other Matte lipstick (you know what I mean if you use Matte lipstick and hate
them for that)

That was about its texture. Talking about this color, its a
deep bluish toned berry pink. I call it magenta. Such a BRIGHT PINK. Very
pigmented, soooooo intense providing high coverage(if you have pigmented
lips, this is the best) and smudge proof.
So far this is the best lipstick I have ever had. From its texture
to its color to its coverage. I have never seen such kind of pink, or may be
combined with its formula it gives such a different effect(much much better than it looks in this picture). So WOWW!! If you really like pink shades, this is definitely for you.
Tip:- if you have very dry lips you can use a lip balm before or
after applying this. it still would be the best.
