Lime Crime Velvetines

Loyal classmates will remember Lime Crime’s Velvetine in Suedeberry as one of my first ever reviews. Since then, I’ve also purchased Cashmere, which was supposed to be a “greige” color. On me, it’s mostly brown. So I was really excited when Faded and Bleached came out, because they were also softer looking colors.

Faded is described as a “purple beige” and Bleached as a “Peachy Newtral” (their spelling).

Here are those two new shades swatched next to Cashmere, for reference:

LC swatches

top to bottom: Bleached, Faded, Cashmere

Both colors are subtle on the lips (on mine, at least). Faded pulls a little warmer than I’d like, but most products tend to do that on my lips. The below swatches were done incredibly hastily, so forgive me!

Bleached

Bleached

LC Faded

Faded

I anticipate getting a lot of wear out of these two, because they are both fairly neutral. They have the same lasting power and consistency (and smell!) of the other Velvetines, so I think they are worth checking out if you don’t mind the price!
