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!!
