Lime Crime - Velvetines - Red Velvet



 

I had been waiting a while for Lime Crime's Velvetine lipsticks and they do not disappoint! They are a-m-a-z-i-n-g. The colour, longevity and the impact - I literally feel like a modern day Snow White.. I can't explain how... but Red Velvet is divine!
Not to get too carried away (very hard not to), I should point out that I have to wear my trusted clear lip liner to ensure the colour does not move as it is quite runny in consistency before drying to the beautiful matt velvet finish. The colour is intense, so those who are not used to wearing bright colours will need to be aware and the same goes for those in a hurry... it can be a little tricky to apply and I have to admit that it did end up on my teeth once or twice ;p

 If you can get your hands on these Velvetines.. don't think twice - just buy them and have fun :)

Julie Hewett - Noir Collection - Red Lipstick

Here are some swatches of Julie Hewett's Noir lipstick collection for comparison - I hope it helps :)

Julie Hewett Lipstick - Rouge Noir

Julie Hewett's Lipstick 'Rouge Noir' is another striking classic red, less pink than Rouge Noir and less orange than Rouge Belle. It wears brilliantly and stays well on the lips. I've just swatched Julie Hewett's Noir Collection reds side by side so will post shortly. Very impressive shades and lovely product to wear!
