Lime Crime Velvetine in Sueberry

Lime crime came out last winter with a 2 color lip creme collection  called Velvetines. One is a vibrant red color called red velvet and the other which I have on through out this post is sueberry. Sueberry is an amazing strawberry red color. The formula of the velvetines are amazing. They are considered lip stains and lip stains are a pain but this is highly pigmented and so smooth and easy to work with. You could even layer it and it won't smudge or flake like most lip stains.

Priced at $16.99 and only availableon Lime Crimes website or ebay, I'd say its worth giving a try. Here I paired it with Mac's Nightmoth Lip Liner.

Dupe Alert!!!!

Recently I had purchased the Viva Glam Nicki lipstick from Mac and did a post on it because I have never seen such a pretty color that was both vibrant and pigmented  before.

 The color is a coral pink, which I've seen but nothing compared until I found Wet n Wild's long wear lipstick in pinkerbell. Now this is dead on compared to Viva Glam Nicki. Pigmentation and vibrancy is Amazing!!!! For the price and quality, they mind as well switch the lipstick tube and call it Viva Glam.

I honestly think Wet n Wild's lipstick is much more opaque then Mac's lipstick and is a 60 percent cheaper. Mac lipstick is $15 and Wet n Wild is $2.95.
