Lime Crime Velvetines from Aliexpress & eBay

**Lime Crime Velvetines**




I purchased these liquid lipsticks from Aliexpress & eBay. I usually do Aliexpress hauls on YouTube but now they will not allow us to post such hauls as they are counterfeit and/or fake products. So I will now only show them on my blog and videos on my facebook page and/or the facebook groups I'm in. So without any more rambling, let's get into this!!!
(Links are at the bottom)

 First let's talk packaging.


 This is the box that they all came in. Packaging looks good, no damage and the colors also coincide with the original packaging.

I only took one picture of the front, I'm not sure if the color on the box, actually matches the original shade of Riot. It does however match the shade in the box.

Let's talk colors:
I will break them up into groups of 4, and the company I bought them from. 
So let's start with eBay.

These liquid lipsticks quite pigmented, but the lasting power is quite short. They only last about 3/4 hours depending on the activity. It will survive through drinking, and maybe light snacking but not a meal. They do dry to a complete matte finish, and some do have a sticky feeling after drying matte.

Time for some swatches:

The colors are as follows (Left to Right): Bleached * Riot * Red Velvet * Wicked
All of the colors seem to look quite like the originals except for bleached. In the swatch, it's a medium brown shade, when it's supposed to be a nudy pink. My favorite is Red Velvet!!!

These last 4 came from Aliexpress:


 The Colors are as follows (Left to Right): Buffy * Polly * Teddybear * Fetish
 These are just the same as the top ones. They don't have a great long wear time, and the formulas seem to differ from the first set. Some are very sticky, and smell like chemicals, and some smell like chocolate and coconut and are not sticky. This set didn't arrive with boxes otherwise I would have done a comparison of them. I do love the colors, and my favorite is Buffy.

There are all the colors in one group:

 

As you can see here, some are also patchy in spots. But I also learned that you can layer them up and it looks like the regular coat. I really do like these and I have another set of 4 coming from again Aliexpress. 

Hope you enjoyed!!

Wet N Wild Limited Edition Summer Collection


**Faux Lashes $2.99**
So everything I got was from Rite Aid, and depending on where you go prices will be different. The lashes I bought were In the Mood for MOD and I thought they looked so good in the packaging. The issues I had with the lashes is that they were difficult to apply and to get them to stay on. Also the inner corner part of the lashes were pointy and didn't have any lashes. (I will show a picture below) I also used my all time favorite lash glue (Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive), and they still wouldn't stay. It also didn't help that I scared my husband when he saw me in them. So NOT a item I will repurchase from Wet N Wild.


**Lip Gloss $1.99**
I also purchased ALL 6 shades of the lip glosses. I love the colors and most are definitely for summer. I will show a picture below with the shades and names. I do find the texture creamy and they are shiny..obviously (since they are actually a gloss) lol. One or two of them are a bit patchy but easily fixable. They don't last very long maybe an hour or 2 at the most. I do really recommend them, I love the shades and they are a great gloss...and they smell like vanilla frosting!!! If you don't like scents, then you won't like these.  

                             
**Shades**
 (From Left to Right): Jackie a la Mode * Raised on good Morals * Strawberries & Femme 
* Very Well Red * Lilac Theater * Violet in Furs 

**Swatches**
Same order as above.

**As you can tell the dark purple (Violet in Furs) & the red shade (Strawberries & Femme) are patchy in spots.
