Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

ahh i love this stuff not only for the price but the brightness and the matte look may i add their fruity smells are totally amazing. Its a highly pigmaented lip cream that comes out with a matte finish. Its a creamy bright and easy to apply long lasting lippy that holds well to your lips. Its packaging is simple but styley and small which makes it easy to take anywear.

I purchased the Velourlips in Ma-li-boo which is a gorgeous bright pink colour. I initially wasn't going to because being Australis I assumed the staying power would be pretty rubbish, however I had swatched it on my hand whilst browsing in Farmers and when i went to wipe all the swatches off my hand this one wouldn't budge. So in to my collection it went!

I wear it on nights out and it literally stays on all night. Once it dries it is not going anywhere! When you have a drink it doesn't transfer to the glass, it's like magic. And the colour is to die for. I get so many compliments! Will be going to purchase the purple colour shortly :)

These are basically the cheap dupes of lime crime velvetines, the packaging is clear plastic with a black lid, where as velvetines are a more glass type packaging. Anyway, the pigmentation is just as great! Super bright, vibrant colours that don't bleed when you apply them. Most of the colours are quite out there (the pink, purple and red is very bright) but there is a browny nude which is gorgeous! I honestly think these are worth a shot to see if you like liquid lipsticks, or if you don't have $30 odd dollars to spend on a velvetine. The staying power is amazing, one swipe and the pigmented colour is applies with no smudging when you're eating or drinking, it is quite a matte finish but doesn't dry out your lips too much! (Still use a lip balm before applying) the application stick is quick and easy to use, creating a quick sharp line. They're so creamy and velvety, they don't show cracks in your lips and I would definitely recommend!

I got the purple velourlips free with a magazine and I'm glad I did! It feels like you are using paint on your lips and it stays on for ever. Was it's on your lips it won't budge AT ALL! Some people may find it too drying or too matte but if you prep your lips before hand the product won't do any of these thing. I love the smell of this product too. The colour was so pretty and very different to anything I already own. The shade range is too die for and I plan on buying the whole range once the new shades come out in NZ.

I have both the bright red and the purple and am in love with them both. They smell delicious, are incredibly easy to apply, and the colors are bold matter drying head turners. Do be aware they dry your lips somewhat but I think the pay off of the quality of color over shadows this.

I absolutely love my velour-lips. I have 4 shades and they are amazing. Firstly - the pigmentation: These are insanely pigmented! A little goes a long way, they are super bright and intense - they would definitely be the star of your look whilst wearing them! The finish: They dry completely and don't transfer - I have worn these all day whilst eating and drinking and they don't come off. They have a 'matte' finish, but all it would take is a glossy lipgloss to change the finish of these wonderful lipsticks. I don't find them drying, however if you do or you don't like the feelings of dryness on your lips, just apply some lipbalm first. When taking off I would recommend using jojoba oil - they will come off no trouble, and this will return some hydration to your lips. These are definitely value for money, and I will be growing my collection as they release more of these wonderful cremes!

I recently broke my no-spend (oops!) and decided to purchase this in the shade Par-ee after the whole hype over Kylie Jenner has died down somewhat and it was actually in stock!

You get about as much, if not slightly more product in a tube than our trusty old Velvetines.. I'm not sure if I should be comparative but I think I'll make an exception to be on this review. It's half the price, so what makes the Velvetine better than the Velourlips?

The packaging: Not quite as cute, but it does the job and it doesn't look cheap. The wand is about the same size as the Velvetine, but it holds more product. Something I like more because with the Velvetine I never have enough product on my wand.

Formula: Velourlips are sticky, but not gloss sticky. It's something I don't particularly like because I'm not a lipgloss fan. They do dry matte though. They smell quite nice, like tutti-fruity.

Drying & Lasting Power: It dries faster than the Velvetines, and I find that the lasting power is longer when eating or drinking. It also doesn't make little rumples like the Velvetines do, so you can touch it up too.

Which one would I rather buy? For the price & functionality - definitely the Australis. But for the splurge, cuteness factor I'd buy LC. To be honest though, Australis does have more colours and they're more appealing to me than the Lime Crime ones.

I am so obsessed with these Velourlips at the moment, they are my go-to basically every weekend now! I have Pa-ree and the bright red one (the name escapes me right now, is it Ny-cee?) anyway, they are an amazing affordable lip product with great staying power. The colours are gorgeous and pigmented and you get a lot of product. I have the Lime Crime velventines and to be honest while I love my Velventines, I think I prefer the Velourlips because they have a creamier consistency rather than a watery consistency which I find makes it sooooo much easier to apply neatly. I dont have a negative thing to say about them! Now I just have to work on expanding my collection of them!

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 love love love the velourlips range. My favourite shade is doo-bai but you HAVE to scrub your lips before you apply so all your dead skin doesn't get in the way of a smooth application. I found this a liiiiittle bit annoying as I can't put it on when I'm out an about, but still is my go to for long wear lippy.
