Purchased By Me
About a month back Lime Crime had a really sweet deal going on. I went a little crazy and grabbed quite a few Velvetines including the M$LF Velvetines Set. I loved the first one I tried out so much that I just couldn’t wait to place another order. I like to wait for good deals though. Or new releases. And boy did I luck out! I believe I paid half price for the set. It’s originally $50.00.
The M$LF Velvetines set comes in a cute pink box. It looks like a cigarette box. I’m not a smoker, but the box is still super cute. The set contains 4 Velvetines. All of them applied nicely and evenly. For the most part I did find them to be very long lasting. I also found them to be some of the most comfortable liquid lipsticks I’ve ever tried. And they smell like cake!
Cougar is described as a grey taupe. This is the only shade I didn’t get a picture of. I didn’t care for how it looked on me. I might give it another go with a different eye look.
Low Cut is described as a true terracotta. I’m really loving this shade lately.
MSLF is described as a Rose Nude. I found that this looked nothing like the swatch posted on the website. Actually NONE of the lipsticks looked anything like the swatches on the website. But this one bummed me out the most. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a gorgeous nude shade. But I was hoping for that really nice MLBB shade that’s depicted on the website. Instead this is a true (barely there) nude.
Stacy’s Mom is described as a sugar plum mauve. I actually prefer the actual shade of this over the website swatch. I’m digging the muted plum look on me. My only issue with this shade is that it wasn’t even filled all the way. You can see in the photo below. I’m really bummed because this was the shade I was most excited about.
Overall, I think it’s a really cute set and I was lucky to get it at a really great price. However, if you’re hoping for those vibrant shades depicted on the website, you might be disappointed. Because for me they were WAY off!
Low Cut is stunning on you! I haven’t tried anything from Lime Crime and quite frankly I don’t think I ever will.

Yeah I know. It’s still pretty, but not what I was expecting at all.
This is my only apprehension of online shopping, what if it would not look exactly same. :(
I loved all of them on you.
