Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

I think the formula of this product is very good and doesn't crack on my lips however the colours are not very nice and I find are too intense. I purchased the colour HO-CHE-MIN and although the consistancy looked good the colour was awful and not what I was expecting! If it wasn't for the crazy colours I would absolutely love this as it smells amazing too.

I purchased this in the colour MA-LI-BOO after hearing all the hype and wanting a bold bright colour for summer and it definitely doesn't fall short in the colour pay off area it definitely turns heads. This is the only matte cream I have tried to date so I can't compare with similar products but I'm absolutely a fan of this one. The doe foot applicator is the perfect tool to get the perfect finish and once dried it is non transferable and doesn't budge apart from however with liquid which I quickly learnt to avoid by using a straw I don't find it too much of a sacrifice because it lasts all night with no touch ups. I will absolutely be purchasing more colours and definitely recommend for a fun addition to any make up collection.

I bought this baby from Farmers along with the AC contour kit and got a free primer (yay!) So was so happy and expecting good things from the product when I bought it!

I bought one of the new shades, a bright dark pink (if that makes sense...). I fell in love with the shade as soon as I saw it and I knew that I absolutely had to buy it. I did not try the shade on so hoped that It suited my medium-olive skin and im so glad because it does!

The packaging is lovely - simple but looks nice on your dresser. The colour that you see in the tube truly reflects what colour you get when its on your lips. The formula is so extremely pigmented which is incredible, but you have to be careful to not make mistakes as you will need a good makeup remover to fix mistakes. The shade goes on so smoothly and nicely it feels like you're rubbing butter against your lips! The product has a slight cherry scent which I dont mind although cherry was never my fave scent so could be a bit biased right now haha. But the scent goes away when on your lips and does not irritate at all.

The thing i love about the product is the price point. $17.50 for a nice matte lippy isnt bad at all. I just wish they had more shades that suited my skin tone but I love the crazy shades they have - hope I get more confident to wear them!

I purchased the shade ny-cee to wear to a wedding as I was looking for long wearing colour that would stand up to all the food, drink and talking involved over a full day.

It definitely lived up to its promise the colour didn't move all night long! With the exception of some wearing on the inside of my lip but to be fair I ate a full meal and had a few drink and I was really impressed with the staying power.

I found application a little difficult as the colour was very intense and once it was on it was hard to remove so you do need to be careful to ensure a smooth application.

The one downside is the product is very drying so it's important to make sure your have really moisturised lips before application.

Overall I would recommend this product if you are looking for a bold colour that will last all night long. It's great bit having to worry a touching up your lippy all night long!!

I had this in hon a lou lou, I found the colour very intence/pigmented. But still nice, the texture was a little difficult though as it was such a powerful colour if your a little heavy handed you may be in for some trouble as the colour doesnt budge, so you need to get it right the first time other wise your in for a colourful shock. I paid around $16 from farmers for mine. The item looks nice, smells nice but just a wee bit off in the consistency.

It definitely has a matte finish! Super pigmented but i find when i wear this that my lips get super dry and flake. The product wears off my lips but tends to stick to dry patches which can be embarrassing! Have tried lip balms underneath, on top and prepping before hand but just hasn't worked for me. Ive tried so hard to love it but i just can't :(

I had seen so much hype over this product so had to pick it up and try it for myself! I haven't used them in forever, I have pretty much forgotten about this product but I have it in red and orange/coral.

The packaging is alright. It has the clear tube so you can see the colour of the product and then it has a black lid. It's straight to the point and is fine for a drug store packaging. The applicator was fine and got the product on evenly without much mess.

The product is extremely pigmented. You can build it up for a super intense look or you can put a very thin layer on to make it opaque (Which I much prefer for the orange colour). The colour pay off did not disappoint!

The particular time I wore velour lips I went out for dinner and this did not budge! It stayed on throughout eating and drinking (with a straw) and did not need to be reapplied and still looked flawless when I got home. It did dry a tiny amount but didn't cake or flake for me like other girls have said it did. I did moisturise throughly before applying so that may have played a part in it!

I also found it very easy to take off with just a Kmart make up remover wipe and it didn't stain at all. I was very impressed with the product and was great for the price. However I find the colour to intense for everyday wear and this is why I probably don't reach for it as much as I should.

When these matte creams first came out I wasn't very impressed with the colours because they were too bright and out there and just not something I would wear very often.

But when they came out with a few new ones I fell in love with the colour Shang-hi, it was the perfect deep pink/purple shade and I was so excited to start wearing it.

I found that I preferred to wear this with a lip liner just on the edges of my lips because it made it easier to apply. It was quite easy to apply, really smooth and it spread out quite evenly. After about a minute it completely dries on your lips and when I say dry I mean super dry. It felt like I had put paint on my lips. I tried putting a lip balm underneath but I found that it didn't apply as evenly as without the balm. It made my lips extremely dry and chapped and it starts to fade on the inner part of my lip withing an hour or so. However I did have a lip gloss that was the same shade as the lip stick so I put it over the lip stick after it was completely dry to stop it from moving around. Once I had the lip gloss on, my lips stayed moisturised for as long as the gloss stayed on my lips but it still faded on the inner part of my lips.

This is not a bad product, the formula just needs to be adjusted just a little bit to make it more wearable.

I now own 5 of the velour lips shades, mostly nude shade and I love them! The colour pay off is amazing and are super matte! Only problem Iv had with them is if I rub my lips together the formula balls up a little on my lips (goes a little lumpy)

I purchased this from Farmers a wee while ago as I had heard a lot of great things about it, and because I am a sucker for GWP (got a free nail polish). I got the colour Mi-a-mee which is a beautiful watermelon-peachy colour, and smells delicious like watermelon.

At first I found it quite strange to use a liquid lipstick that dries on the lips but after a couple of times practicing I got the hang of it and the colour pay off was wonderful! Very vibrant and bright.

However this product just dried my lips out way too much. Even after using lip exfoliator and lipbalm first, I found it quite uncomfortable and made my lips look flakey.

It lasted reasonably well on my lips, but I found it annoying that you can't do a neat job of touch ups, it just went crusty! Overall a beautifully pigmented and great smelling product, but too drying for me to use.
