I got Riot yesterday and I love the color, but disappointed with the formula. I ordered my first Velvetines in 2013 (Red Velvet & Suedeberry) for $16 and those are still going strong for me. Very minimal transfer when eating. But this new one... transfers onto my cup when I'm just drinking water. Beyond that, it also feels slightly sticky on the lips - way more than my old formula Red Velvet & Suedeberry, which really did feel like 'velvet' and 'rose petals' on the lips. It seems they've upped the prices, are putting less product in the packaging, and are selling lower quality product these days... I'm not sure why they even changed the formula from the old one, it was near perfect. I'm kind of let down...

wow mine is not like that at all. I applied it around 1pm and it lasted all day, I removed it around 7.
I drink like 29034342 teas every day, and it didn't transfer to my cup at all. :/

Maybe there is a batch issue going on?? I am hearing so many mixed reviews lately.

If it's a batch issue only then I suppose that's better than the entire formula being worse... still, I'd like to have a better product in my hands. I don't even know how to contact Lime Crime with this issue. I can't find an e-mail address on their site.

I tried mine on last night, and the consistency is definitely different from my first two Velvetines from a year or so ago. Much thinner, but I had no issues building up opacity. I'm gonna wear one to work today and see what happens.

Cashmere, Riot, Rave Indoor lighting, no flash and flash (Ignore the Vampira swatch below) Same findings as everyone else--watery consistency and not full all the way. With the wand in it looks about 80% full. Without the wand it looks 75% full. I got Venus too, I'll swatch that later
