[Dupe Alert! + REVIEW ] Lime Crime Dupe from PAC

Hi y'all!

A week ago i bought Lime Crime's Pink Velvet for my show, thinking i wouldn't have to retouch so many times for when i eat,drink,doing face change, or accidentally got hit when dancing(it happened) also because there are 2 shows in a day, so i thought this lime crime will help me reduce one more thing to re-apply

And?

I was wrong...

Well the color is really pigmented,it really didn't dry your lips, it's also very light i can feel it, but the staying power is only okay, i've been reading and hearing reviews about limecrime velvetines lip stain, that said "the colors will stay even after you woke up from your sleep" well...psh! I think it's overrated, for me the staying power is only okay, max factor's lip stain's staying power is much better, but it made your lips dry though...

Picture time!

The aplicator is a small wand that made it easier to apply the product to my lips

I scraped most of the product, the color is really pigmented even though you only use a little product, nice! The lipstain is water based, but it gradually feel sticky

On dim lighting

After 3 hours (no drinking or eating, indoor lighting)

After 6 hours (still no eating n drinking)

 

After appetizer...sashimi and wakame...is appetizer right?

After finished dinner!

Most of the lipstain is gone :'(

Oh well i guess it is hard to find a perfect lip product hehehehe

I still love the product though, the pigmentation is amazing, it's vegan so it's nice for our skin! The matte result is also so gorgeous

But you know what? I actually had the dupe way before this! Hehehe

I present to you PAC matte lipstick in dare pink!

(Can you guess which is which?)

The color is exactly the same! The finished look is also matte and both product didn't made my lips dry!

As you can see in the picture limecrime(left one) is more pigmented :) 

but sorry lime crime, i'd still prefer to repurchase PAC for it's wayyy more cheaper (50% cheaper guys!)

Tada! The color is really similar, (in these pics the lighting made PAC looked darker but it's not,just bad lighting hahaha while the limecrime one is took near LED light) 

PAC matte lipstick is a little bit shinier while Lime Crime is really matte

Okay... So pros n cons time!

First:

PAC

Pros:

- cheaper

- easy to get in my country

- gorgeous matte result

- pigmented

- didn't dry my lips

Cons:

- not kiss proof(again,cheek to cheek not lips) nor water,oil, or smudge proof
