LIME CRIME UTOPIA REVIEW

So I really had the privilege of collaborating with Lime Crime Thailand this time...and trust me I was completely stoked when they wanted to send me this baby for review! :P Lime Crime Utopia is the latest shade to be added to their Velvetine Collection, and to be honest I think it may be their best colour they have come up with so far (My very biased opinion..since my fave colour is purple lol)..nevertheless this is a beautiful shade of 'Orchid Purple' that is great for any skin tone.

The packaging like all of the other velvetines, came in this little cute glass tube with pretty rose pattern cap. The applicator wand that comes with the product is so useful too, it really helped give a nice coverage to the whole lip while applying...and as U can see from the pic, the consistency of the formula just like the others is quite liquidy ..non stick and light. It glides effortlessly on and after a few seconds dries off to a nice matte finish!..I usually apply around 2 coats after it dries to really play up on the vibrancy of the colour, and as U can see it really is VERY pigmented!..LOVEEEE ~

The colour for me pretty much stayed on for the whole day, even after all eating and drinking (yes..we do ALOT of that :P )..the colour stays on well and there really wasn't any need for me to touch up. It sticks to U so well that it can be a pain to take off at the end of the day LOL..you really need to scour your lips real good after wearing any of the velvetines on ure lips really!

I decided to swatch Utopia next to some other velvetines to compare the pigmentation and vibrancy of each colour up close.. Pink Velvet is the middle one and Sued-berry is the last.and as U can see..Utopia has more of a cooler undertone to it..which makes it more wearable than the other two shades..and also at more occasions..

I decided to also throw in the darker side of the Velvetines colour spectrum for comparison..the last 3 shades, Wicked, Salem and BlackVelvet are from "The Clueless Witch" Collection, and the first colour is "Red Velvet" of course another fave staple of mine!

I also had a chance to pop into their shop that just recently opened in Bangkok, the first one I see so far that is a proper retailer of Lime Crime Products! (& yes there were several decibels of harmonious screaming in my head when I discovered that there was a Lime Crime Shop in Thailand!) Needless to say I spent the whole of that afternoon swatching and admiring the packaging and products in person..it was so great to be able to do that before purchasing!...

The Shop is located close to the BTS (Skytrain) Asok Station area, at the Interchange Tower.. G floor..it took me awhile to find it at first since it was quite small..but it was definitely worth it ^^..there were so many stuff to look at (and play with! lol)..I really was quite shocked at how complete their collections were!...Besides the size of the shop..which was more like a little booth than a shop..I thoroughly enjoyed my time there! The shop has become so popular fast that most of the popular shades were gone...and many had to be put down on the waiting list..which kinda sucked but hey it only proves that their products are worth the wait! :P

WATCH OUT FOR FAKES!!

LADIES...please be careful of FRAUDS! There is so many fakes and copies that are made and distributed to look like the real ones when they're not!..so be careful when shopping for Lime Crime!..Make sure U see a Hologram sticker on both the packaging and the product itself before purchasing!!! BE SURE & most importantly BE SAFE! U don't want some crazy ingredients in your velvetines! :P
