Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

After hearing alot of hype about these, I had to go out and get one. I purchased this in red and this product is to die for! Good pigmentation and staying power, definitely money well spent. Am quite keen to purchase other colours but Farmers are always sold out. The colour doesn't budge so it stays all day which is good, it also means you need a good makeup remover to take it off at the end of the day.

I would recommend not trying to reapply once the product is dry, it tends to clump and isn't the greatest feeling on your lips.

I have this in budapash and I love the colour but it might take several applications to get the right colour payout. It has really good staying power, I wore it to a messy and oily dinner haha, and not much of the lip creme came off. Only downside is the applicator brush which is okay for the nude tones, but not sharp enough for the bolder, more vivid shades if you want that crisp line.

Great product. I purchased my first one recently. I couldn't understand the hype until I tried it on. I love the colour and the payoff. It stayed on all day- something I hadn't hear of before. I want to purchase the other colours now.

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 love matte lipsticks and thought I would give these a try. The colours range is very wearable and beautiful.

The lipsticks come in a plastic long tube, each has a doe foot wand applicator. The packaging is quite simple and practical. The tube closes tightly, the applicator helps with applying the lipstick evenly and nicely.

The formula is creamy and applies easily, it glides on beautifully. It comes to a velvety matte finish, the colour is very opaque and pigmented. I only applied a small amount of product, apply a thin coat and the result is still great. I am very pleased with the finish colour on my lips and the colours last for ages without fading. The lipstick has a very subtle nice sweet smell.

All the shades I’ve tried are gorgeous, they last all day but they do feel a bit dry on my lips. That is the only drawback.

Great value for money and available in any department store. I would definitely try a few more shades.

I have been looking for a Matte lipstick in New Zealand that didn't cost too much as I wanted to see if it's something I would wear more often. I LOOOOVE this product. I bought 2 of the darker shades, Buda-Pash and Mo-zam-chic. I also bought the lip primer "All about that base" as I have read that its makes the lip color apply better without streaks. I am so glad I did. When i use the Matte lipstick without it, my lips are dry and the product applies patchy. I will most defiantly be buying more of the shades, maybe lighter to see if it wears a bit better as the darker shade does tend to be of a thicker consistency.

First off, this product will emphasise every single flake on your lips. It's matte, so will further dry out your lips. That's the only downside to this. Australis Velourlips smells like Nerds, a very sweet lolly taste. Up to personal preference, but I love it. Once it's on, it will stay on. I wore the bright red shade and ate Mexican food (think oily and sloppy) and it stayed on perfectly! My friends were all very impressed, as was I. I was so pleased that I went and got the maroon shade. Yes, I would recommend to a friend, but not if they have chronically dry lips. I would also only use this product for bright shades in instances where you don't want transfer. I just don't think the hassle of drying out your lips with this product is worth it for neutral shades.

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

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 :)
