But, according to reviews of those who were not too lazy to purchase the original and the Chinese version and compare them not only by photo, there is a difference not only in technical specifications, but also in shades, although they are similar to the original ones and have the same names.

What exactly is Lyme Lipstick good for?

Reviews and their analysis show that lipstick is loved because it:

1. Velvet.
2. It has a very small neat brush, eliminating uneven application, villi or their prints.
3. Really persistent! The fair sex say that this is the best of all lasting lipsticks.
4. The unique color revealed on each girl in her own way. It is for this advantage that many customers forgive her some shortcomings (such as price).

A little lower we will see what are matte lipsticks "Lime Kraim" according to reviews.

How is lipstick worn?

As bloggers respond, Lyme Liquid is incredibly resistant to both water and fat. The latter is especially noteworthy, because, as a rule, any cosmetics, even the most persistent, dissolves in fats. Typically, a stable lipstick holds well if you drank juice or ate a salad, but it will not stand ice cream or dinner. Lime Crime Velvetines can withstand even dinner, of course, provided that you eat carefully. The only thing is that it will be slightly erased in the center, but the outline will remain in order.

Many girls are faced with the fact that sustainable lipstick cannot be updated. The second layer hopelessly spoils its appearance, it becomes similar to the old plaster: cracks, peeling, spools. Lime Crime lipstick looks great both in the second and even the third layer.

Application and texture of Velvetines

The texture is a very pigmented liquid water. The lipstick is really liquid, after application it dries for 2 minutes to a matte state, which is no longer afraid of water or kisses. Many users note a very pleasant feature of lipstick - after drying it lies an amazingly thin and pleasantly gentle layer, like a veil. If the product in the tube has a creamy consistency - this is a fake.

Is lipstick comfortable?

Judging by the reviews, “Lyme Crime” Velvetines is not for sensitive lips. Lipstick is felt on the lips, tightens delicate skin and dries. However, many users note that they are used to such a texture and do not consider this a drawback. After a few hours, they don’t feel it, and everyone compensates for very bright, expressive and clear colors.

In addition, there are shoppers with sensitive lip skin who noted that they can only feel good with this stable lipstick: it does not dry, unlike other brands.

How to remove long-lasting Lyme Cream

Options that met in reviews:

1. Wet wipes for removing makeup.
2. Ordinary micellar water.
3. Natural oil, such as apricot.

How to choose

All shades, without exception, are very expressive and able to "make an image." The impression of color varies greatly on different girls. Skin, hair and eye color play a huge role. The effect after application can be completely different. Another caveat - some tones are very difficult to capture with digital technology. And taking into account the fact that all customers have different monitors and their settings, you can choose “Lime Kray” lipstick from the photo only in advance. Ideally, it is advisable to try it on yourself personally, and not on the hand, but on the face, checking how it looks in different lighting and makeup. In addition, it makes sense to try and atypical shades for yourself. For example, many girls are afraid of dark colors, but in vain - they may not look rude at all, but elegant and sensual, it all depends on the nuances of appearance. So worth a try.

Cashmere

Lipstick Velvetines today includes 37 stunning shades.

The most popular lipstick is Lime Crime Cashmere. Reviews for this color are as numerous as controversial.

Cashmere is a complex cold lilac-beige nude shade that quickly gained fame as a whim. Even unstable lipsticks of such tones are difficult to apply, it's all about the characteristics of the pigment. Here the difficulty is not only that the lipstick tightens and dries the lips, but also that this tone requires careful selection. According to the mass of reviews, there is a risk of getting blue, frozen lips, and in general - a painful and tired look. Nevertheless, this shade is wildly popular, because it can look very gentle, natural and at the same time elegant and unusual.

Other light shades

• Buffy . Almost perfect, almost everyone going nude. Not dark, but not whitening lips. The tint is like a toffee. Buffy is close to Cashmere, but it is much warmer, it looks very natural on warm skin with a light tan. On girls with cold fair skin and gray-violet nuances in the color of the eyes and hair, it may seem red, but in general it is quite neutral.
• Teddy Bear . Lime Kray lipstick with such a plush name is a chameleon, like all mauve tones. A pink-lilac-brown tone may seem more violet, then go into a burgundy, or suddenly give out a warm chocolate tone. It looks quite calmly among other shades of lipstick and may well be appropriate in the correct business make-up. Color requires rigorous testing because it is neutral, and can appear either cold (lilac, purple, burgundy) at dusk, or warm (brown, chocolate) in the sun.
• Marshmallow Very delicate pink-beige shade, causing associations with marshmallows and other confectionery "sweets". It is difficult to apply - the lips should be stretched, apply the lipstick in a very thin layer and wait for it to dry, otherwise the lipstick will fall into all possible folds, which no one even suspected of, and emphasize the relief so that it will look, to put it mildly, unaesthetic.
• Bleached . Light and clear peach color. Spring is good on girls of a color type, but since pure color types cannot be found, it makes sense to test thoroughly. Even on a slightly tanned skin, it may be too light, whitening, which some find beautiful, while others categorically do not accept. Some believe that this color is very natural, delicate, but at the same time playful and flirty. Lime Kray lipstick in this shade is pleasant to customers for a highlight.

• Shroom. Nude, but very peculiar. It resembles a mushroom hat, a light beige-greenish tint. Depending on the skin color type, greens may appear stronger, and may be barely noticeable. It will play beautifully in a golden-copper environment. Some shoppers called him lipstick for a rocker girl, a lover of experimentation, but some simply adore him for his unusual redhead.

Universal tones

• Faded - This 2015 new product is ideal for brunettes, especially winter ones, with a cool tint of skin. This color of a pink rose, slightly fading in the photo, may be appropriate in any situation. It is very natural, and looks quite bright in many “official” pictures, but it all depends on the intensity of the skin tone, on fair-skinned people it seems quite dark.

• Polly . Deep pink with a purple undertone, but not fading into lilacs. It evokes associations with vintage roses. Very feminine.

Bright shades for the summer

• Suedeberry Another crazy coral option. Very similar to True Love, but a little more red. This is, perhaps, the canonical coral neon, fully imitating the school marker pink-orange. Goes well with a tan.
• Pink Velvet. Truly pink neon. It’s hard to catch a hue in the photo, it may seem like bright coral or even red under warm lighting and flash, but this is the real color of the pink panther.

• Flamingo Bright pink color without impurities. Close to Pink Velvet, however a little lighter, does not hit neon. Rather, it is a natural pink color, although very expressive.
• Rave. Violet-lilac-pink neon. Carnival shade, very demanding on the shade of the skin. Capillaries, blood vessels, pale complexion - all this he emphasizes. According to some reviews, capricious in applying.
• Pansy. Violet neon. Next to the Rave, it will appear bluer, but it is close in appearance. Suitable for thematic images, in the afternoon it looks too shocking. However, there are girls who use it daily.

True Love Set

This set consists of three shades, quite versatile and in demand, at least all the customers who decided to buy this trio were not disappointed in any. Of course, Lime Kray lipstick in these shades is sold separately, although it’s cheaper in the kit.

• Saint Neutral raspberry red tone. The most serious and "adult" in the trio. Moderately warm, and moderately cold. Very good at brunettes. It may appear almost black in several layers and in twilight lighting. Quite calm, though saturated.
• True love The craziest in the top three. This is a blinding coral red shade that makes lips the center of attention. Some lovers of a truly crazy extreme find it rustic, although this can be considered nitpicking - the color is really striking.
• Cupid . Girlish and romantic. This is a cool pink shade, medium in intensity and looking quite gentle in the line of Velvetines lipsticks. Although in terms of expressiveness it is not inferior to others. Neutral, it looks appropriate on almost every girl, but you should still remember that it may seem different depending on the environment.

Sexy feminine tones

Due to the velvet finish, any Lyme Kray lipstick makes lips sensual, but the shades described below are especially deep in color.

• Raven is a rich, saturated eggplant. It may seem almost black. Balm on the first layer, however, it lies beautifully in several layers.
• Fetish - sensual burgundy red, the color of a very thick red wine. The official website described as deep plum. Very similar to Jinx, only a little warmer.
• Jinx is a very saturated violet color, magnetic, evokes associations with magic and sorceresses. It may seem almost black, but it is indeed a very rich color, playing with all shades of velvet black and purple roses. According to reviews, the color is noble and very beautiful, but few decide to wear it every day.
• Beat it is a rich beetroot, brunette's dream. Very bright, expressive, but without frivolity. Looks appropriate both day and evening.
• Riot is a warm reddish-brown, fairly calm shade, but can be heavy. According to reviews, not everyone will suit, especially unsuccessfully and rustic it can look on girls with fair skin. It goes very red and those who have a warm or neutral skin tone - in this case, the enthusiasm of others is provided, because the shade looks interesting and attracts the eye.
• Pumpkin - red, with a pronounced orange tint. The official website is described as brick red. The richness of color reveals itself very well both on tanned and on fair skin. He is cheerful, provocative, southern, but, as they say in the reviews, can look great for every day, if you collect the image.
• Red velvet is a classic red color that suits absolutely everyone. The most popular lipstick is Lime Kraim. Reviews about her are more common than about others. Almost everyone talks about its increased stamina.
• Wicked - a very thick saturated red color. Evening, elegant, classic, light skin will make snow-white. Customers find this shade suitable for a celebration, restaurant, evening out.
• Salem is a popular and famous shade. Catchy rich chocolate-red color of Indian spices. Sensual and at the same time restrained. Suitable for intriguing, languorous images. It will look different on girls with fair or tanned skin. It goes the same for both.

Shades are not for the brave, but for the very brave
