I'm back!!!!
As some of you may know I went to New York a few weeks ago and LOVED IT! I just love the whole atmosphere of NY, the people are nice, there is so much good food to eat, so many good shops, and everything is much cheaper than here in London! ;-)
Today I am showing you guys the lip combo I have been loving lately...a few months back all I saw on Instagram was these LimeCrime Velvetine lip colours, that go on as a liquid and dry matte, so I hunted down any UK sellers to get my hands on them...

| I got this shade 'Utopia' - a bright purple |
So with matte lip colours I always use a lip liner to not only line my lips but to fill the whole damn thing in! Nobody wants that cracking look on their lips that matte lipsticks tend to leave...

| LipCrime 'Utopia' & MAC lip liner 'Magenta' perfect match right? |
Here is what I do...
Step 1 - I used my MAC lip liner in 'Magenta' (this was given to me in MAC to go with Heroine..but it matches the LimeCrime 'Utopia' shade perfectly!) I use the lip liner to line my lips first, then I fill in the whole lip.
Step 2 - I take my LimeCrime Velvetine and go over my lips with a thin coat, it goes on shiny so I give it a few seconds to dry and go completely matte.
Step 3 - For the ultimate all day staying power, I go over my lips lightly with my pressed powder, DO NOT USE A LOT OF POWDER, just a light brushing - then I repeat steps 1 & 2 again.
Trust me when I say these steps do not take long at all AND this lip combo will not budge! I did this in the morning and the colour lasted all day at work, and I'm talking it lasted through me drinking cups of tea, eating lunch and fruit, talking etc. It did not budge!
Let me know your favourite lip combos and how you apply them to make them last all day or all night ;-)
