Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

I also got one of these free with a GF mag - but went out to buy another after the first wear as I was SO impressed with the staying power for a meagre $15. I love the bright shades and the longevity of these, they literally stay on all night! An easy addition to amplify a softer makeup look.

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.

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!

Absolutely mixed between this and Limecrime but i've decided this is the winner! It's a great price. Goes on well fantastic when you don't need to re apply on a night out and you can mix the colors to make it not so bright

I got two of these free with a magazine a few months ago and instantly fell in love.

They are so pigmented and longwearing that Ive found the only way to remove them is with A LOT of moisturiser and a flannel.

They smell amazing too.

I first heard of the these whilst watching a YouTube tutorial, I then found out that they were free with the (then) current issue of Girlfriend magazine! So what did I do? I went out and bought three copies of Girlfriend magazine. It must have a been a great month for their sales as I know I'm not the only one who did this! Hah!

I ended up getting Maliboo, Tokio & Rio-D as I couldn't find the other two colours (I really really wanted Ny-Cee!)

These things are BRIGHT. Ultra violet bright. They are stunning colours & they look beautiful with a flawless face - think simple smoky eyes & glowing perfect foundation. I did end up purchasing Ny-Cee when they became available in stores a couple of months later & it is my favourite of them all. It's a beautiful deep red that looks so classic & classy.

They dry really quickly, they are a true matte & they do not budge. At all. My only gripe with them is that they can flake. Unless you have perfectly smooth & exfoliated lips to begin with then you're going to end up looking like a hot mess as the day goes on. The trick I've found is to apply as little as you possibly can. You need make up remover to get the product off so if you make a mess during application then you're going to be in trouble!

UPDATE! - I really do not like these at all. I can't handle the fact that they peel and that you cannot get them off unless you use makeup remover! I can't change my lip colour at all as it ruins the makeup around my mouth when I try to remove it =(

Vibrant, opaque, long lasting colour. Pretty much what I look for in lippies unfortunately not a single one of the shades worked on my NC42 skin tone. I really wanted to love them... Definitely something to try before you buy. I will be giving mine away to friends more suited to them. They were out of stock of the red shade when I bought so will keep an eye out for that and see if it's any better.

Love the formula, sad about the colours.

I absolutely adore these little wonders in a tube. I own the purple and its gorgeous! These apply beautifully are long wearing and have the most gorgeous finish. The colours are all gorgeous there is something to suit everyone! Highly recommend

This product combines all of my favourite lipstick features - matte, bright and long lasting. The Maliboo velourlips (pink) is brighter than both my MAC Candy Yum Yum and Lancome Pink Bon Bon, a feat that I didn't think was possible to achieve. It is a statement colour that looks flawless when applied with the 'lipgloss' applicator and a little help from a lip brush. The formula applies like a thick gloss, but dries to a very matte finish that doesn't budge. Whether you are eating, drinking or talking, this product stays on for hours. I love that this is a highly pigmented lip colour however it may be too bold and drying for some.

After months of searching trying to find one of these I came across Rio d in my 12 year old nieces bathroom. She had got it free frm the GF magazine and she HATES make up. Yay! I found this product lasts and lasts. I will be out and drink and nothing comes off on the glass. I have to use make up wipes to get it off before I get into bed. I am now going to keep hunting to try and find the other colours!
