Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

I purchased Velour lips in 'Pa-ree'. I was after a nice everyday nude and this definitely hit the mark. It's highly pigmented and you only need one (maybe two) applications. It goes on like a thick lipgloss but dries up into it's matte finish. You have to make sure your lips are really exfoliated and soft beforehand as it tends to show up any dry patches or cracks really obviously. It has excellent staying power but will need reapplied when eating and drinking.

Since I was lucky enough to trial the Candylipz lip plumper I have been buying more lipsticks than ever and once upon a time matte lipsticks were the biggest no-no. They made my lips look like little caterpillars, complete with the lines. Matte lipsticks were and are very unforgiving, so I did tread with caution while purchasing this one and didn't get my hopes to high.

I purchased this from lovemymakeup and it arrived the next day, I purchased the colour noo-d fighters, which as the creative name would suggest is a nude colour. A perfect pink-brown, it's part of the metallic addition so it has shimmer through it and I am so in love with it.

The scent! Yes I am obsessed with this scent it took me ages to figure out the scent, it reminded me of my childhood then i suddenly had a light bulb moment.. It smells like grape hubba bubba, the scent lasts for an hour before fading away thank goodness because it makes me hungry.

It is of course matte so I make sure my lips are moisturised a lot before applying it. This comes in a tube with a doe foot applicator and it is so easy to apply. It takes about 3 swipes to get the right depth of colour and then wait as it dries which is only a couple of minutes. Once dried i love it, this pink brown colour with the shimmer is perfect, I was worried it could have had a bit of a frosted look with all the shimmer or a bling blinging disco ball but the balance is perfect.

This lasts 6 hours plus even through eating and drinking it barely budges. It is very drying though even when I do apply a mountain of lip balm first. But the colour and no budging is worth the dryness for me, I love this and want more especially in the metallic range.

Grandmaster pash. I got this for half price from Love my makeup.NZs mini version of Ulta lol. I've bought a few of these believe it or not I've not tried them I've otter them for swaps to send over seas since so many rave on about these. I'm so glad I got myself one. Well I did a makeup order and got this intending to send it away but since I'm doing an October challenge where I try a new lisptick in my stash each day to find the goodies from the baddies& although I had man to choose from I chose to open this up & I'm hapoy I did. The shade I have has gold fleeks thru it so it looks glittery in the tube which I admit had me concerned. The tube is see thru with flat black branded writing on t with the black lid/handle attached or which is a doe foot applicator. Upon application the cream is smooth,pigmented, non streaking & goes on wet drying matte the gold gives a slight bronze effect rusty brown red & yu can see the reflects when looking closely. I love the bronze burnt brown red shade. Which is in actual fact a mettalic finish The scent is delicious I was kindly suprised by the scent of berries upon opening my tube. The only down fall for me is the stay power although it can last on the outer lips all day the rest of lip wears off as the day goes on so it's not the best with stay power although I didn't use a primer or lupine which didn't mess up application & it didn't feather without either. All in all for the price you pay this product is great. I rate low on the stay power.

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 brought this as a trial and loved it. It wears pretty good through the day. Usually I need to reapply after eating but that's fine. It lasts longer than as NY other lipstick I had and I loved the colors

Not as long lasting as some other brands of liquid matte, but it does have a nice finish and is reasonably priced. The range of colours are quite bright, not really suitable for my everyday, but I enjoy them for special occasions.

Got this a from the Girlfriend Mag Freebie, and I was sold as soon as I tried it! Now I do think sometimes they can be quite tricky to apply but the color pay off and the lasting power is AMAZE!

These have great staying power, you can eat and drink and it stays put on your lips. The only think I don't like about these as they can be quite drying, but with a bit of lip balm underneath they work alright.

I love having my lips as the main feature when it comes to make up so I'm constantly wearing bright pinks and reds. I, like many others, received this free with a magazine I bought around the end of last year. I got a hot pink one called MA-LI-BOO and I absolutely love it. It has such a creamy texture and you don't need to apply a lot otherwise it looks like you've poured the whole container on haha. A little goes a long way when it comes to this matte lip cream. I loooooove this cream and I would definitely get more and recommend to a friend.

The only downside of Australis Velourlips Matte Cream is that because it's a matte colour, it shows all the cracks in your lips and doesn't look nice close up. But this can be avoided by applying lip balm on before using the cream. OR you can put a nude or light pink (depending on the shade of cream you have) and put a layer of it over the top. This should make the cracks leave and you should be left with smooth creamy lips.

The Australis velour lips are absolutely incredible! The colour range is a bit "out there" you could say but I absolutely love them. My favourite shades are definitely the nude shade in "Par-ee" and the bright orange shade in "Rio-D" but I adore all the shades, one small downside i found is that they don't layer very well, they sorted clump up and go sticky but this doesn't bother me because the pigmentation of these lip cremes has no need for a second layer. I find that you don't need a lip liner or anything with these, they are amazing and don't bleed. I do find that sometimes they sink into the lines in my lips and enhance dry patches but pair them with something like the bubblegum lip scrub by Lush and a hydrating lip balm and they're absolutely amazing. They have amazing lasting power and personally have lasted in me for over 12 hours which is sometimes hard to find, if I could say anything it would be more shades!!! I've got them all and I would love more! I really can not get enough of these!
