Hiiii! I hope you haven't had enough about lipstick posts yet, because this is not going to be the last one. In this post, I will be reviewing the Velvetines of my Lime Crime order now and the next one will be about the unicorn lipsticks. Let's begin, shall we?

If you did read my post about the Jeffree Star liquid lipstick, the following review will be a bit easier to understand since I'll be comparing the two brands.

Both brands have a great quality, but the main differences I noticed are these:

• The texture of Lime Crime Velvetines are a bit more watery/thinner than JS liquid lipsticks'. Both still give great, opaque finish.
• I felt like I had dip the applicator to the lipstick a few times more with LC, to get enough product on my lips.
• While JS lipstick didn't have any scent to it, LC Velvetines smell like delicious chocolate/toffee pudding and everytime I apply them on my lips, I start craving for some sweets, haha.
• The LC Velvetines were easier to remove from my from my lips than JS lipstick. Also, they didn't stain at all!

I think that was pretty much it! I noticed all these three shades are currently sold out on Lime Crime's site, but it seems Jeffree just released similar shades (which also sold out immediately, lol). They may not be exact dupes, but judging by the pictures, it looks like they're pretty close. Celebrity Skin is like Cashmere but without the grey undertone and Unicorn Blood looks like a mix of Salem and Wicked.

I don't know why, but it feels like every brand that has liquid lipsticks, are releasing almost exactly identical shades. I wonder why... Well, popular shades sell ofcourse, but I wish there would be more variety and unique shades to choose from, hmm.

Now let's move on to the colors I bought:


SALEM is a chocolate colored brown (liquid to matte, like all of these) lipstick, and it's definitely the weird one of this bunch. I was a bit worried about this one, because on some pics I found from google, it looked absolutely horrid... But then on the other pics it was super gorgeous. I actually managed to find one pic of a girl with a similar haircolor to mine and it looked great on her, so that's what made me get it in the end.

And I think it works!! I mean, when you first think about brown lipstick, you go kinda like 'eugh', but when you actually see one, it looks amazing! I love all kinds of dirty and muddy shades in makeup anyway and this one is no exception.


CASHMERE is a shade that's a mix of grey and beige and for me, it's a nude lip color I wish I would've found a lot earlier. I have bought nude lipsticks before too, but this one is the first one I absolutely love! I love how it's a very cold shade of nude and how pale it makes my lips look, without being too light either.

I don't know how, but I like how the color seems to dry a bit darker from the edges, giving a more defined finish. I can assure you I haven't used lip liner with this look at all! Cashmere is perfect for those days when you don't want to do bold lip makeup, but don't wanna go with bare lips either.


WICKED is a burgundy red shade, and who doesn't love reds? I have a bright red and orange-ish red lipsticks, but was missing a darker red shade so I decided to get this. No regrets, it's everything I expected from it.

With a quick glance, Wicked and Salem might look a bit similar, but when you take a closer look, they're not similar at all. I think both shades are worth owning.


SO, which one is your favourite? Do you perhaps own some of these? I can't really decide which one I like the most, because they're all great in their own way.

Next time I'll be trying on the two unicorn lipsticks I got... If you've been reading my blog for longer time, you know I've been wanting to get a lipstick similar to my haircolor for a long time. Let's see how these will do...!

As you probably know already, Tokyo is one of the most amazing places to shop in the world and definitely my favourite place for it. I can just walk into one of my favourite brand's stores and see the stuff in person before buying it.

Now, this has it's dark side for a person who's used to buying literally everything online. It's so much harder to find the stuff you like because you can't just browse and scroll through it?! I can't be the only one having this problem lol. For some reason, it's easier for me see if I like the stuff if I see pictures of someone wearing it first.

Even though it was a bit hard getting used to shopping the "regular" way, it was great because I hate waiting for my stuff to arrive after I've bought it. Maybe someday people will figure out a way to combine the best of the two ways to shop hahaha.


I mainly targeted my favourite japanese clothing brands during this trip, because american brands I like (such as UNIF) is much easier to buy online. Above, on the left you can see the entrance to Ghost of Harlem's flagship store in Shibuya, and on the right some accessories inside the store.


Here's a better look fom inside the store. I bought that maxi dress the mannequin is wearing, btw. It is super pretty!


One place I also liked to shop at was 109, but I didn't seem to enjoy it quite as much as I did on my first trip to Tokyo. I usually just checked Glad News, Fig&Viper and Growze.


Here's a shot I snapped outside Glad News' store in 109. While most of the shop staff only spoke japanese, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that one of the staff in Glad News, Miki, spoke pretty good english! Ahh, it felt so good to speak a language that you actually understand, to someone haha.


One of the things on my to-buy-list was comfy white platform sandals and I ended up buying this pair from Fig&Viper when I found them! I was originally looking for all-white shoes, but the holographic straps were too cute to be resisted.

Tons of cute chokers were also easy to find in almost any store. Here's the rack from Spinns. I might've bought a few...


Cute stuff at Growze. If I understood correct, they sell a lot of different brands but also have their own.


The place where I enjoyed shopping the most, was probably Laforet (link) in Harajuku. They have lots of great stores like Joyrich, Ghost of Harlem, Monomania and some other shops I don't remember the names of.  Also their Fig&Viper store is a bit bigger than the one in 109.

During my stay, they had this huge 5 day long Grand Bazar aka super sales, when the whole building went crazy and was packed with people.

I also enjoyed exploring the little streets of Harajuku (after Takeshita-dōri) and checking out the small stores there. One of the interesting finds there was the Prisila wig store! Didn't buy anything but it was fun to check out and you could actually try them on.



I was lucky, because on the second to last day of my stay, Ruki (who is the singer of my favourite band, the GazettE) launched his cosmetics line Vital Material and opened a store for it in Harajuku. Me and Anna decided to go check it out since we were in town.


The store was quite small, so we got a scheduled time when we could go in with a few other people. Even though it's a store, the first few days were dedicated for the exhibition of the first collection, so you couldn't buy anything yet, only get to know the products before the sales started.

I had just managed to catch a cold, so when the main point was try out the products and see what they felt like and smelled like, I couldn't smell anything :DD Which kinda sucked, but hey, atleast they were nice to look at. I could want one of the room diffusers for myself, hmm.

We also got pamphlets with us which included a postcard with some samples of the two perfumes the brand had, so atleast I got an idea of how those were because I was able to smell them after I got home and my sense of smell returned lol.

Here's a little clip I filmed while being inside the store!

Hiyaaaa! Today I want to tell you about this new finnish onlinestore called Edge.fi. Have you heard of it? They started at the end of last year so it's a fairly new store - but a very cool one at that, and I got really excited when I was asked to collaborate with them!! They currently have brands like Coal N Terry, Ivory Jar, Like Life Clothing etc in their selection, but I'm sure the list will grow with similar brands in the future.

You know I have collaborated with some other clothing stores in the past, but I feel like this one actually fits my style like 110% which is a big plus. Instead of trying to find the only piece I might like in the whole store, I was left wanting more stuff from them hahaha. I especially liked the CNT shorts and I've been secretly drooling over those since I first saw them online some years ago. Now I finally have a pair!♡

Anyway, I got to pick some stuff in exchange for a blog post and here's what I picked: Pretty Gold Cutoff shorts by Coal N Terry & Mathilda T-Shirt and Christ Beanie by Ivory Jar. In this post you can see two outfits I put together by using those pieces! I actually just realized the print on the t-shirt is based on a movie called Léon: The Professional... Well, might as well watch it now so it won't be awkward lol. I just thought it looked cool haha.

The shipping was really fast too. I made my order on Monday evening and recieved it on Wednesday. They currently ship to Finland only, but the page should open for international orders soon as well!

So! Which outfit you liked better? Please share your thoughts and remember to go like/follow Edge on Facebook and Instagram ✞

Also, here's something nice for my readers:
