Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

After I told her I had tried Chi Chi's matte liquid lipstick and loved it.

I HATED this. It was super gluey, flakey and didn't dry very well. The pigmentation was blotchy and I really wouldn't recommend this whatsoever.

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.

Received this free from a magazine a little while ago. Wow they are highly pigmented, thought as I'm mature woman should I wear these but what the heck, its summer and the color I got was Rio-D, I was really after the Mal-I-boo as pinks are more my color, but the orange went well with my tan. It glided on really nicely like a gloss but really creamy then dried to a matte.

Now after about an hour I noticed that the cracks in my lips showed up a bit more than I wanted, I don't have dry lips its an age thing (big sigh) so I put a nude gloss over the top and it seemed to hide the cracks a bit. It did last for hours, almost all day it seemed like. Now when I removed at night I did notice my lips were a bit dry so I just applied a lip balm and they were fine. If I see the pink color on special I will probably go ahead and purchase as it has great lasting power.

its very much like the lime crime velvetines except much cheaper, alougth it appears to be very few colors atm they are still great

This is incredibly drying so you probably need to exfoliate and prime lips beforehand. I found that it cracked regardless, but this may be as i have lips that tend to dry over the day. It is easy to apply and dries very quickly, you just have to work fast

Love the colours but they dry out your lips so much :( colours start to crack and flake if you apply more than one coat... Prefer other matte lipcreams.

Maybe the hip of this got a little too much for me. Its okay, the consistency is great and the smell is amazing but with the consistency its easy to over apply which makes it prone to cracking. Its quite drying so a lip balm is a must. I have the shade pa-ree and if you have an olive/tan skin tone like me, it can wash you out. This doesn't go well with food and drink, you're only gonna wear this if you're going to the supermarket, because you can't just reapply, you have to remove the whole thing if you wanna reapply

The Australis Velourlips are my ultimate favorite lip product right now! i have the ma-li-boo (pink), Tok-i-o (purple) and Rio-d (orange - coral) and I can not get enough of these, I won't stop until i have them all.

The colour pigment payoff is incredible, very bright vibrant colours, the colours just "pop", make me feel stunning and on top of the world when I wear these. The pink is a very bright hot pink, The purple is a bright pastal type colour and the orange is not quite orange but kind of too bright to be called coral so its in between but all of the colours I have are amazing.

The packaging is nice and simping, in a lipgloss type container with the same lipgloss type applicator, very simple to put on and doesn't apply messy which is something I really like. You can see the colour in the bottle which I like so it doesnt have to be opened to see what the colour is going to be and because you can see the product, it comes out exactly that colour. The little bottle has cute simple labeling with a lace pattern at the top and bottom.

Now for the product, you have to be quite quick to apply as it does set very quickly and if one layer sets before you apply another it can go a bit funny (not sure how to describe it) umm goes flaky on your lips so it doesn't feel nice if that happens. But it goes on creamy and smooth and it is your choice to add more layers, I do cause I love how bright they are. This product is for sure matte, it sets really well and looks beautiful, and the best thing is, is that its kiss proof! I can eat and drink nearly all day wearing this product and it stays put, I do find though that certain foods will take it off a little bit and what I personally do is take it all off and start again, not sure if you have to do this but I dont even want to encourage that flaky feeling. They are quite hard to get off at the end of the day, i find a warm face cloth is best for me, and if you dont take it off before bed, it will still be there when you wake up (learned that the hard way). The smell of this product is amazing, kind of fruity but the smell reminds me of something that I cant remember.

Overall I LOVE the Velourlips, they will be a favorite of mine for a very long time to come I think, I wear them every day, even if I don't go any where, if you haven't tried them I really suggest you do, you won't regret it.

I got this product free from work in the colour MALIBOO (hot pink) as they were freebies on magazines and we didn't sell all of the magazines. Score!

I had heard great things from Shaanxo (YouTube beauty blogger) and so was more than happy to try it out and see for myself how vibrant and long lasting they were.

I absolutely love the colour. It is one of the most vibrant, true to colour lip stains I own. It looks exactly the same on your lips as it does inside the tube which I love!!

Although the product is definitely longer lasting than most lipsticks after eating and drinking, I found that it didn't last a whole night out, maybe 2-3 hours at most, and it starts to flake, dry out and just look horrible, so I would have to reapply the lipstain after a few hours of wear.

However, I have used this product many times because I absolutely love the vibrancy.
