Great formula

Very comfortable to wear with a large range of stunning colors. A bit of a warning, these are very liquidy in the tube and in application, but they do dry down completely matte with no transfer. I only bring this up to warn you when you pull out the applicator do not tilt the bottom part of the lipstick as the product will spill out of the container. This is only an issue if the lid is not on the lipstick, it doesn't spill if it is closed properly.

Most Helpful Critical Review

Nope.

Jinx is a great color on me. Unfortunately, it's got issues. It applies thinly and very watery. It also dries down fast, so you need to apply a 2nd coat within 10 seconds and hope the applicator doesn't push the liquidy product around into patches. Once it dries down, it makes my lips feel beyond dry. They feel chapped. That happens no matter which lip balm I use beneath this stuff. (No, my lips weren't chapped beforehand.) The only way to fix that is to dab a bit of balm on top of the dried-down lipstick. Doing this makes the lipstick patchy, no matter how careful and gentle I am about it. But patchy coverage is far better than stingingly dry lips. With or without a top coat of lip balm, Jinx isn't long lasting. I'd rate it a 6 on the long-lasting/no-transfer scale. Honestly, I'd rather just wipe it all off than reapply it. So I'd only wear this for an event/outing lasting 1-3 hours, tops. (If I was actually going to wear it again.) Color wise, Too Faced Melted Matte in Wine Not is very close to Lime Crime Jinx, and it's a much better formula-especially for this price range. After buying Jinx, I found another Lime Crime Velvetine shade, Teacup, at another store. Teacup's even worse than Jinx: super watery and streaky application, and just as painfully drying. I won't give Lime Crime's liquid lipstick a 3rd chance.

Nice shade

cakegirl from Florida

Had tried a few Velveteens in the past, Salem being my favorite, until I saw they came out with new shades. The Peacock shade was calling my name and I had to add it to my cart. Its a wonderful shade of matte blue teal that is dramatic in all the best ways. Fantastic for dramatic or editorial looks and a stand out when paired with a classicly made up face too. Smell isn't chemically and is pleasant. The only downside is depending on how much you layer it can get dry. Going heavy handed on applications isn't necessary. One of my top 5 lip products for sure.

I can't rave enough about this product. I love Limecrime. This lipstick stays on, will not come off until you use a makeup remover. Beautiful color.

Great Matte Lipstick

LaMoya from Florida

These lipsticks are great! I bought 6 different colors. I'm a matte lipstick kind of girl and these look great under gloss or on their own and don't need a lip liner. If you have dry lips or don't like how mattes dry down, apply an oil-free lip balm maybe 5 mins before putting on the lipstick and it makes it so much more comfortable. These have great color payoff and stay on for a long time, at least 6 hours with no reapplication. Highly recommend if you like matte lipsticks

BLOT Those Lips

5

A. from Folsom, CA.

Okay, so trial and error on my part. I love this, it smells heavenly and glides on great (doesn't feel dry when it dries on too so big plus). The thing is, I learned you have to blot with tissue after because the color builds up around the corners of your lips where it's applied. It can mess up a look but if you blot, it looks and works excellent.

LOVE!!

I've heard great things about lime crime which is why I bought this lipstick and it's AMAZING I was not expecting it to be so velvety smooth and the color is just amazing in love can't wait to buy more!!!

So good!

Alice from Maryland

Probably one of the best matte lipsticks I've ever tried! Goes on super smoothly and doesn't look patchy. Very pigmented and nice. I will totally get another one < 3

Okay

Ale from Laredo tx

Loved the way it applies and the pigmentation what i didn't like was that it doesn't last and ends up everywhere. Its very messy. I expected more since i had heard good reviews.

Good payoff

Shay from Nevada

I've owned probably 6 of these lipsticks and while they smell again and the pay off is good they flake away like no other! Definitely not in my top favorite lipsticks.

why does it burn

90s movie bully from texas

I put this on my lips in the normal fashion, within seconds it was all over my teeth and tongue(?), it was patchy on the first coat so I put on another one. Still patchy and it kind of burns... but I look like the bully in a 90s coming of age movie so thats kind of cool I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

Very pretty (Marshmallow and Buffy)

5

Megs from Hesperia, Ca

My first purchase of Lime Crime lipstick ever and I dont regret it (shades Marshmallow and Buffy) super pretty! I also purchased Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink (my tied and true go to formula.. lasts all day) in the shade Loyalty and have discovered it is IDENTICAL to the shade Marshmallow when it dries down, so there's a dupe. I have yet to test the lasting power of the velveteen lipsticks, but the shades are gorgeous and I do very much enjoy them.. when they're on sale again I will be buying more shades forsure.

Such a nice touch👌

Nick from Hesperia, CA

I just wore this alone & my bf couldn't stop complementing me. I really do Love Lime Crime lipsticks, they wear so nicely. I just hate the mask covers it. I really do Love the smell of them & how well put they stay.

So good

5

Jessica from North Carolina

I got the shade "Cashmere" and it's absolutely beautiful, the formula itself goes on very pigmented, dries down pretty fast and isn't nearly as drying or uncomfortable as other mattes liquid lipsticks I've tried. Highly recommend.

Not true red

Akleddy88 from Texas

I purchased the Velvet true red which had a berry undertone. The formula is matte but not long lasting and transfers. I really wanted to love this. I have yet to find a better liquid lipstick than NYX red kitten heels.

Nice color but doesn't last long

3

MightyB from Mississippi

I got this product because I'd heard about it and wanted to try it out myself. I honestly don't get the hype. The color is nice and the Matt finish is good but it wears off very easily and applies very thinly. Will not purchase again!

LOVE IT!

5

Jake from Bellingham, WA

The formula (as i've tried with the black velvet shade) is very easy to work with and provides full, intense pigment! It wears for a long while if you're a tad gentle with using your lips, and the dry-down consistency is air weight, sometimes I forget I'm wearing it! My only small issue, is that the formula IS a bit difficult to get off after it fully dries down. There is no staining, but as custom with dry liquid lips you tend to have to scrub a bit more.

alright

Lilimar from Loveland Colorado

I absolutely love Lime crime! ive bought from Lime crime website before and for some reason the Lime crime lipsticks that ive bought on this Ulta site and on the original Lime crime site seem different. the ones from the Lime crime site seem to set faster and seem brighter. The Lime crime lipsticks that ive purchased here seemed like they take a while to set and more liquidy...idk if It's just me but regardless both products look great on and last Forever! long wear and you do not need lipliner when using this.

Awesome color, but doesn't last

4

Jordan from Pittsburgh, PA

I'll keep buying these because I love the colors, but after a while they smear off. If you put more on, they start to get chunky & flaky

I can't believe I hadn't tried this sooner

5

Babydoll from East la

I love liquid lipsticks and I have a brand i love however they do transfer or one that doesn't transfer but is a little on the dry side so I've been on the hunt for one that isn't too drying and this one is perfect. Comfortable matte formula, doesn't bleed, flake or transfer... i had the lipstick on all day with VERY MINIMAL need for a touch up in the center of my lips which I expected after all the food & drink throughout the day. Plus love the shade range....will definitely be purchasing more shades

I love these Lippies!

BB from FL

They are so soft and pigmented. Nightshade is stunning. I've bought a few of these in different colors and i probably definitely will be buying more in the future. Can't go wrong with this brands lippies!

Katia from Utah

Purchased gigi, sasha ,riot, red velvet and teddy bear I am MAC NC30 and the first 2 colors I mentioned were kinda light for my light skin. Returned all of them but teddy bear that color is the bomb get it you won't regret it. Riot and red velvet were beautiful colors but they didn't last as long only kept teddy bear out of the whole bunch

Love it

I love lime crime matte lipsticks, they're my go tos for my everyday look.

Comfortable on lips

5

PV from WI

I was scared to order these lipsticks because of some reviews I read. But to my surprise, I LOVE these! They're comfortable on the lips, not drying at all! They are 99% transfer proof. I'm definitely looking forward to buying some more!

Love the velvetines!

E from So cal

I love the velvetine matte lipsticks. I think the quality is great and I love its opacity. Neptune is described as "Mauvy purple" and it dries very brown. It's a nice shade, but not what I anticipated.
