Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

Longwearing but drying Bright but wear unevenly Probably beautiful on lighter and darker skin tones, but as someone with olive skin set distinctly in the middle, I couldn't make any of the fluorescent colours work for me (Mali-boo, Rio-d and Tok-i-o). I love matte lip creams but these were too thick for me and so difficult to get off, and when they wore off they were so patchy that I got incredibly paranoid

These are fun, super bright in amazing colours and long lasting! They do taste a bit funny but not bad for the price of 17.50.

Iv'e tried many liquid to matte lipsticks and I find the velour lips average in quality. They do tend to take a while to dry on your lips so its kind of annoying applying but other than that they are good for the price. My velour lips just sit in my collection and never get used sadly.

Picked one up during a farmers sale and wow what a punch in the lips! I brought the hot pink version and it zings with pigments. The applicator is average, but it gets the products on the lips so that's a plus. The only thing that I have a problem with was flaking, after 3 hours my lips had caked up a bit, a touch of lip balm help blend it back out again and it stayed ok for the rest of the afternoon. The flaking might have been down to prep of my lips because the next time I wore it didn't flake as much, so I wouldn't mark it down for that. All in all a good matte finish for a good price that you can get a hold of pretty easy.

I both adore and dislike Velourlips! Firstly, the colours are gorgeous and he pigmentation is out of this world! I have the orange (Rio-D) and pink (Ma-Li-Boo) and they are so intense (in an awesome way).

However, they're a bit too high maintenance for me to want to wear them all the time! Your lips need to be super smooth and moisturised before applying the Velourlips if you want a flawless look that stays put, otherwise they look flakey/patchy or the colour wears off quickly. This puts me off wearing them if I'm in a rush/feeling lazy.

Their staying power is pretty amazing though if your lips are prepped well! I've found they stay on with minimal wear (which usually occurs in the centre of the bottom lip if at all) even after eating and drinking.

Overall I love Velourlips so I just deal with the fussy application :)

I have the Velourlips is Ny-cee, which is a very bright scarlet colour that I absolutely love. It's really pigmented and looks exactly like it does in the tube on your lips.

I've heard a lot of people saying that they found it very drying on their lips compared to the Lime Crime Velvetines, but I actually found the opposite! The Velourlips doesn't flake or dry out my lips, and it stays put all day, even with eating or drinking. I love it because it's so hard to find a bright lip colour that doesn't wear off quickly. It's a major mission to get off though! I generally have to use a fair amount of coconut oil to get rid of it.

I have this is Rio-D and wow I am super impressed with the colour! Its super bright and goes on your lips really nicely. The staying power is also really awesome, and I love how once it's on, it doesn't rub off easily (on glasses, when eating etc). I will say that I always find matte products a little bit drying and I need to make sure my lips are moisturised and scrubbed before applying.

I love my Rio-D Velourlips! Its a bright orange that actually looks orange after more than an hour! However, my family tease me a bit when I wear it because it is SO bright, my sister says it looks like chalk. So while I love it, not for everyone I think.

I own this in the hot pink shade. It is great for parties as it definately stands out. Pinks are always my got to colour but this one is definitely the brightest I own. The formula is long lasting and doesn't transfer onto anything so would be great going out for dinner and drinks.

Received this free from a magazine a little while ago. Wow they are highly pigmented, thought as I'm mature woman should I wear these but what the heck, its summer and the color I got was Rio-D, I was really after the Mal-I-boo as pinks are more my color, but the orange went well with my tan. It glided on really nicely like a gloss but really creamy then dried to a matte.

Now after about an hour I noticed that the cracks in my lips showed up a bit more than I wanted, I don't have dry lips its an age thing (big sigh) so I put a nude gloss over the top and it seemed to hide the cracks a bit. It did last for hours, almost all day it seemed like. Now when I removed at night I did notice my lips were a bit dry so I just applied a lip balm and they were fine. If I see the pink color on special I will probably go ahead and purchase as it has great lasting power.
