Just gotta say MAC LipMix can be used to dupe both Velvetines. They are totally matte, but I find they last alot better and you probably need less.

Thanks, I’ll add that to the dupe spreadsheet ASAP.

Hey DDL, I was wondering is there any way to get some more information on Lime Crime's recent charity drive? I'm really suspicious, knowing Lime Crime have committed charity fraud in the past, and I would hate to think charity money given by customers in good faith has been pocketed by Doe and Mark.
doedeerelies doedeerelies Said:

The only evidence we have of the donation is their word and the fact that these two charities actually exist, unlike the vague Brooklyn Shelter from the first incident. We still don’t know what percentage from sales was actually donated and there’s no hard evidence of the donation transaction being complete. I want to believe that they are beyond doing something like that again, but seeing their past actions I am also suspicious.

Revlon's Strawberry Suede looks pretty similar to the swatch of Suedeberry, it wasn't a liquid lipstick though...

Thanks!

Looks like LC finally changed their front page and took off Storm’s image. Yay!!

Hopefully it’ll it won’t change back to the Alchemy theme after this sale weekend!

Not sure about you but LC's glitter helper looks a bit like Too Faced glitter glue.

It looks near identical packaging-wise to me.

I remember seeing a preview with Mosh for the Velvetines lipstick. Now that the product has launched, it's odd not to see an official promotion pic.
doedeerelies doedeerelies Said:

I think there are more colors coming out from the line, so maybe when it launches in full the campaign will be used?

maimaimaiii replied to your post: Quality of Velvetines?

I wouldn’t worry too much about the silicone in it, I think most people react to it when it’s applied to the skin as opposed to lips. As it is though, the super uber matte finish means your lips have to be in perfect condition or else it’ll look bad

My skin is super sensitive, especially to any products with dimethicone as one of the first ingredients, so I’m a bit paranoid.

Going from LC's swatch photo of Suedeberry, NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp looks extremely similar. The only difference is Suedeberry looks just a hint more pink. I have the NYX product, and it doesn't bleed and isn't drying at all.

Great!

Kat von D Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw is a sold dupe for Red Velvet, or at least its swatch. Idk if the any of the other colours in the line are dupes for Suedeberry, but it's worth a look. I own a couple and the formula is pretty nice.

Thanks for passing this on!
