Left: "Criminal", Right: "Kooky"

I saw some reviews on these and decided to give them a try!
Both colors give excellent color payoff and I had no trouble with applying them - both glides on very easily and I didn´t experience any patchiness..
Having hydrated lips is a good tip though as they do have a matte finish and we all know what happens if you don´t have hydrated lips ;)
They are a lot thicker in formula than Lime Crime Velvetines and they do not have that delicious scent to them. They don´t smell a thing actually, but I don´t mind.
I actually adore both colors - and perhaps especially "Criminal". I find it drying to a even more matte finish that "Kooky" - it feels a bit thicker in formula for some reason..
I´m not very picky about staying power unless we´re talking extremely lousy staying power.
I feel these do the job perfectly to the price of $5. If you expect a matte finish lip lacquer to stay on all day without getting patchy when you´re out all day and eating and drinking regularly - without touching up, then I would say you´re having a tiny bit high expectations - not for these in particular, but for lip products in general.
Just make sure to have hydrated lips when you apply this and to touch up during the day and I think you´ll be more than fine!
I really want to buy the red Lip Lacquer as well, I would love to do a budget/dupe test for the Lime Crime Red Velvet (which is amazing and will be up on the blog soon)
A beautiful bright pink, perfect for summer! Absolutely in love with this color.. However I´m not feeling it quite yet, we´re having snowstorms over here and I just can´t do bright pink lips then... I can´t wait for warmer weather and a nice opportunity to wear it :)
(Sorry, I know it´s not very neat around the edges.)
Definitely a color I would try out if I´m going for a more grungey, rocker look!
My dark lipstick obsession has calmed down now and I´m a totally nude lips girl at the moment, so I don´t see myself wearing this quite yet either! But don´t you worry, the time will come ;-)
I´m not doing much these days sadly, I´ve just recently started wearing makeup again after weeks of not wearing a drop of foundation, I´m mostly alone in the house all day and putting on makeup and a cool lippie can either be way too much work or totally just what I need to get in a good mood ;-)
These lovely lacquers totally made my day and I still can´t believe what you get for that price!
If you´re into matte lip laquers you should definitely check out these!!
