Lime Crime Velvetines Liquid Matte Lipstick, Wicked - French Vanilla Scent - Long-Lasting Velvety Matte Lipstick - Won't Bleed or Transfer - Vegan

This is a great lip color for dark-complected African American women. The color is rich and, although I already use teeth whitening products, it makes my teeth look even more insanely white when I smile. The product goes on wet and takes a while to dry. Once it is dry, it stays on and doesn't fade or move until there is water or oil from eating on the lips. Then it gets a little messy and can smear on the teeth.The only other con with this product is that is must be applied with a lip liner. I have tried to use it with out lip lining and it didn't turn out as well as I'd hope. Because the product is rich in color, it can stain the skin around the mouth if there is not lip liner to help guide its application. Once the stain is on the skin around your mouth, it's not easy to come off. But other than this, it is a wonderful product and I highly recommend it.

I'm very impressed with this product..I've been on a hunt for a gorgeous deep dark red color for a while now. The lime crime wicked is exactly what I had in mind..and the texture of it is so smooth in fact velvet is a good word for it. It glides on like a thick gloss at first but dries down within seconds, and the color dries evenly..sometimes these type of products when they dry down they get crackly and flaky but this one doesn't it stays very smooth and matte. It doesn't feel like heavy on your lips and it lasts a long time. When I tried it on I had to take oil makeup remover to it and it was hard to get off! I'm very happy with this purchase and if you're looking for a beautiful color try wicked!!

This is what I have been looking everywhere for. Just that perfect shade of dark red. I was kicking myself for spending so much after I bought it but then I wore it for a full day and now I'm probably going to buy another. The stuff goes on, dries quickly and stays for HOURS, even after drinking and eating. It can be smeared a little bit but you've pretty much got to do it on purpose. I put it on around 7 am and wore it all day to a graduation, through dinner and drinking with lots of lip-smacking and talking. By 2 am it wasn't as thick and dark as it was when applied but it was still there. I don't know much about lip liners but if you smear it on right, a bit of excess liquid on the rims of your lips look like a defined line to me. By 2 am it bled into the tiny cracks a little at the edges though. (Not that you'll care anymore at 2 am) Use makeup remover for easy removal.Oh and I did NOT receive any discount for my review like so many fake products do on Amazon. This is the real stuff. No filter for actual shade in my picture. Definitely recommend.

So here is my 100% honest to my Godesses review. I'll be attaching images below.I have NEVER owned a liquid lipstick, so this is hard for me to tame and apply. That is no big deal, I'll learn. So as I am looking at the product, I ordered "Wicked," a deep red color. I got the lippie and it says that it is the right color on the bottle, but now that I am looking at the colors, it looks a lot like the color "Salem." It does look like "Wicked" in some light but that is after I put on a second coat. This does not instantly dry like I thought it would, and it does come off and crumble, especially where your lips naturally sit. From my understanding, it should NOT crumble and it should NOT even budge. Even with one coat on. I do love the smell. It is not intense and doesn't smell like chemicals. it's like a cherry shortcake smell.I will never order from the Lime Crime site. The owner is awful and she is sketchy in the fact that she never seems to pay the money that isneeded to keep the site secure. Some reviews are claiming bootlegs....I have never seen a real one so I cannot tell. I still love it, but I am unsure of it. If Lime Crime cannot keep their promises of a liquid to matte lipstick that doesn't budge, then that is poor marketing. I honestly think I should have gotten a Jeffree Star liquid to matte. More product comes in the packaging and it is cheaper by $2.So, the color is darker than I expected. It is also not easy for me to apply. I use a lip liner to line the outside of my lips and then use an angled brush to get what I need around the edges, then I fill in my lips with the product. I definitely need practice. I occasionally wipe off the crumbles around the area where my lips close at and apply a light layer, which makes for a cool ombre affect. The product causes irritation in the form of crumbles making my mouth feel weird. I'll be sad when i run out of this product, but I will NOT scramble to buy this immediately.

LOVE IT!!! Got the Wicked shade in just in time for New Years Eve and decided to wear it. The color looks gorgeous and rich. I put it on around 730pm and it stayed on (without reapplying) till I removed it around 3am *dinner and drinks included*.On my skin tone, it came off as a dark reddish and sometimes almost brownish color. It really depended on what kind of light I was in.I prepped my lips by buffing with St Ives apricot scrub and the CO Bigelow lip buffer. I then put a thick layer of regular Vaseline on my lips to seal in the moisture and make then soft while I applied the rest of my makeup. When it was time for the lips, I gently wiped the vaseline off (not all of it! - just enough that my lips still slid smoothly against each other). I then lined my lips with a generic lipliner just so I could get the right shape (the last thing you want to do with a liquid lipstick is make an oops) and then applied Wicked (as the others said, a little goes a long way with this color -- it is very rich).
