Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

I gotta say, love these things! I own the purple "To-Ki-O" and the pink "Mal-I-Boo" and they're bloody amazing. The pink doesnt suit me too well, and the purple is attention grabbing when wearing it out in public, but it's a lot of fun. I want to try the red and nudes. I do find these to be very drying, and after a while they tend to flake on my lips which i dont like. also, I cant get them off. Like ever. Which is good when it comes to longevity, but when they're flaking and I'm out doing errands and I just want them off, it just doesnt work. Maybe I will like the nude and the red better than the ones i have, but we shall see.

If your not wanting to pay top dollar for a lipstick that is going to give you a look like a lime crime velvetine then this is your lipstick.

Very pigmented and beautiful bold and bright colours. Long lasting if your not drinking or eating all day i find it comes of when you eat or drink which is pretty standard but when you go to reapply i find you need to take the last layer of completely before adding more as it goes patchy or cracks

I have the Australis Velour Lips matte cream in Mal-I-Boo (Pink) and I love the colour and the fact that it is non transferable once dry, but at the same time I find it quite hard to maintain if I am going out for longer than a few hours. This matte lipstick feels like you are literally painting your lips,it sticks to your lips very well once applied. The doe applicator makes application easy and I find that it creates a precise look without needing lip liner. When I first tried this product I made sure to scrub my lips with a lip scrub, and then use a moisturiser. I did this to ensure that the lipstick glided on as smoothly as possible, and to get rid of any visible flaking or dryness in my lips. The lipstick dried quickly and was very creamy and smooth at first, but as the day wore on I noticed my lips beginning to flake and become dry again. I cheated and used a lip balm over top to re-create a smooth consistency! This worked well, but the lipstick took longer to dry on my lips because of the lip balm. I would recommend this little trick if you are out and about and are unable to re apply the lipstick. Overall, I really love the colour of this lipstick, the price, and the fact that it is non transferable once dried (unless you eat or drink of course). It is not a product that I would use all the time, as it did dry my lips out a bit, and having to reapply was too much of a hassle for my busy schedule! I think I may try the lime crime velvetines next.

I loved this. I bought my first one in the colour Ma-li-boo from Farmers after a recommendation from a lady passing through work wearing it. The cream is so creamy and pigmented. I find it glides on very easily. It dries really quickly so you have to be quick when applying it especially if you want to add a second coat on. If it dries before you do this it can be tricky to do it without it looking a bit rough. It's quite easy to fix a mistake especially if you get it while it is wet. It dries really matte and I love that it is non transferable when it dries because I love giving my little girl kisses without turning her whole face pink or red. As the day goes on it can wear off in little flakes which can be a pain. I found that rather than trying to reapply on top it's easier to wipe the layer off and reapply so it doesn't look flaky and rough. One other thing I found was that it can dry your lips out a little so make sure you have a lip balm handy for afterwards! Ending on a good note though :Everytime I have worn this I have been given compliments or asked what I am wearing! I absolutely adore these and would definitely repurchase!

I'm a big fan of matte lips, and I was really excited when I heard that Australis would be jumping on the matte lip cream bandwagon. I own MA-LI-BOO (pink) and RIO-D (coral). Firstly, I find the smell completely overpowering - it has a very sweet, fruit candy-like smell. It dissipates eventually after applying, but is very strong at first. I find application to be tricky too, it's hard to get the color perfectly even for these two shades. The first layer of color tends to get picked up and made patchy, no matter what I do. I find that the formula is very thick and difficult to work with. I found that they tended to look flakey and crusty on my lips very quickly - probably a result of applying to much trying to cover up the patchiness. I love how bright and unique the colors are, but I am not sure if I love the formula. I will try the other shades in the collection and see if they will change my mind.

AH! I am so glad to have found this beautiful tube of delight. Where were you hiding Velourlips? Why didn't you come into my life sooner? The colour is BRILLIANT! The lasting power is AMAZING! And the matte effect is SUPERB! I got compliments by the dozen haha. I love that it looks good with my green eyes and helps to make them stand out. Furthermore, you can blend the colour with any other lippies while it's still wet in create numerous new shades YAY!

I purchased the Velourlips in Par-ee a few weeks back after reading all the glowing reviews on it. Unfortunately, although it applied nicely on the lips, the end product was far too dry for my liking, even if I exfoliated before I applied. I've since learned to apply a very light coverage of a lipbalm before I apply the velourlips. It still remains matte, but with a creamier feeling on the lips. It stays in place for a long period of time and doesn't budge even when i drink or eat. So at the moment I am still undecided if I love this product or not. It definitely lives up to its description, but I'm not sure if it's the one for my particularly dry lips.

It's pretty good, a bit dry! :( But i guess when its matte you can't really avoid it! It stays on very well and i love the colour! I do much prefer my lime crime velvetines though! They just last a bit longer and aren't quite as dry, but i LOVE the Par-ee colour!

These are defiantly matte. But they are also super drying. Dried my lips and made them look chapped. The colour pigmentation is amazing. But are way to drying wouldn't purchase again.

They definitely deliver on their promise of a matte, long lasting lip. I find it does dry up/flake a wee but my midday/early afternoon. At that point it is easier to wipe off and reapply. Proper lip preparation is essential, scrubbing is a best idea and ensuring lips are well moisturised. If you lips are in bad condition leave it for another day. Once applied - does. It transfer and colour is rich. If you don't like the feel of matte lip products this is not for you.
