Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

The Australis Velourlips Matte Creams are great value for money! I purchased the Tokyo shade a while back and have loved the vibrant colour, when wearing it for a long time it can start to crack and rub off but that seems to be common in Matte lip creams however, i found that with my tokyo shade it became really drying. All in all Australis have come out with some really beautiful new shades and i will definitely be purchasing some of the other shades in the near future! :)

I'll be honest, this product isn't my favourite in terms of matte liquid lipsticks, however for it's price it's defintely a good option. There's a fantastic range of colours to choose from (I myself own 4). The let down is the formula. It's extremely drying on your lips, it crumbles off rather easily (and messily!) and you can't layer it. After you've eaten you can't just touch up the bits that have come off, you have to take the whole lot off and start fresh. But if you can't afford the more expensive brands of liquid lipstick then I say absolutely go for Velourlips!

Love the coverage of these products. Great colours. Can feel a little cakey on the lips, and is a bit difficult to retouch after eating.

Love the colour range! But this matte lippy has its disadvantages. For starters once applied to lips ut is very hard to get the colour distributed evenly, I have found there are always blotches where I can still see through to my natural lip colour. Secondly, it dries quickly so you have to be precise about how you apply it to your lips because like I said it comes out very unevenly on your lips. And thirdly it comes off so easily! Even taking a drink a few minutes after application it will come off. Apart from that I love the colors, so pigmented. And the smell is really nice.

Recently bought this product in mum-bai, and it was okay. I didn't find the colour as vibrant as it appears in the bottle. The product smells super nice though, I'll give them that. I'll probably use the rest of the bottle and most likely not purchase again.

I have two of these: Mum-bai (a very dark burgundy that dries almost black) and To-ki-o (the most fabulous shade of purple).

The colours are vibrant and amazing. You don't need to go too overboard with application to get a great colour payoff. In fact you really do need to exercise some restraint with application as you can get a nasty, patchy result if you apply too much at once.

Very patient application is key with these liquid lipsticks. Prepare well with exfoliation, a good waxy lipbalm and very precise liner application. These aren't too forgiving if you go too fast and paint outside the lines! The pigmentation is strong and stains your skin quickly. It takes a bit of getting used to how much to apply is the right amount as too much or too little can look terrible. Also be patient in letting it dry completely before you press your lips together!

It lasts well if you stay away from anything greasy and be careful with your drinks. I really love these lipsticks, but they do take a bit of effort for a good result. For this reason I don't wear them every day, but I do love to get them out when I'm in the mood.

The sweet smell of the product is an added bonus too!

Such a beautiful colour, Loved the end result! was a little messy to apply but not too bad that I wouldn't use it again. Love this and cant wait to get all the other colours :)

I have a set of the minis of this - the brights I think it is. I cannot remember what the names of them all are but there's a bright Pink, a Red, A Purple & a sort of Orange/ Pink. I gave the orange one away as I hate this colour on me.

The other 3 I don't mind so much but they're not my faves.... They're quite bold statement colours that I just feel a little inappropriate in.

I find these glide on easily, they have a little soft wand in the cap. The purple I only really need one coat with while the others all needed at least 3 coats to not look patchy.

Once it dries it feels a bit strange to be honest, like I don't want to move my lips.

I do find that once I start smiling or talking a bit, it can crack a little but the colour stays on quite well. I find they start to feel a bit gritty after some time of wear...

The staying power of these is fairly incredible really! In fact I find them quite difficult to get off!

I also find them quite drying, so lip balm is essential.

I will keep these as I like to have them for the occasion where I'll need them but they are not my go to lip product.

I have this in the shade MIL-A-NO. It's a beautiful peachy nude. I was immediately drawn to this shade as I wanted something that was easy to wear and would suit most makeup looks.

This comes in a see through tube, which is good so you can immediately see the colour. It has a screw lid and it's never leaked at all on me, I've had this for over a year. This has a slanted doe foot applicator which collects a good amount of product at the tip so you don't have to keep dipping it in to get the right amount. For me, this is where the good points end. I hate how this sits on my lips. I find it so hard to get some kind of even finish. It just looks terribly patchy. I've tried putting balm underneath which helps to lessen the patching but it is still noticeable. Once on my lips, it feels weird once it dries down. Not quite tacky and not overly dry, just weird. I really can't comment on how long it lasts as I can't stand to have it on my lips for more than 10 minutes. I hate seeing how caked it looks so I just wipe it off. I've tried it about 10 different times but I am now giving up. Possibly just this shade sucks as I know people love these lipsticks but I am not keen to try out any other shades after using this one. I'd recommend spending a bit more and getting a better matte lipstick, I personally love LA Splash.
