Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

I own this product in Paree and I am seriously impressed and obsessed with it. I want to run out and BUY ALL THE COLOURS!!! I'm on a no-spend however, so I shall resist...for now.

Paree is the most lovely shade of nude. I never imagined I'd ever buy a nude lippy pre-BR. Heck I wasn't even a lippy girl, let alone buying a product to look like natural lip colour, did not see the point. Inspired by the lovely BR community I have recently stepped out of my comfort zone and nude was a gap in my fledgling collection that needed filling. It is a gorgeous shade, somehow managing to come off both edgy and polished looking. I've even been playing around with overlining my lips and it's perfect for that too.

As you can probably gather from my admission that I am a lippy nube, I am perhaps not best placed to compare this to other products formulation or staying power wise but I shall give it a whirl.

I enjoy the creamy-on formulation. It goes it smooth and the fuzzy stick thing applicator (I'm sure this has a technical name sorry) lets me get it nice and precise and control the amount of product I'm using.

I found the wear a little tacky for half an hour after applying but not in an overly irritating way. Once it dries I was barely aware I was wearing it at all. Speaking of drying I hear tales that matte products can be just that but personally, with my normally very dry lips, I didn't have this problem at all.

Staying power... Here's the rub. This claims to have all day staying power, which for me was just an out and out fallacy. If I don't eat, or drink (or at least drip water from my bottle carefully into my mouth) I can get a good few hours out of it. Eat or drink in a non-weirdo manner though and I need to touch up.

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!

First of all I have to say I love the names they have for these. Very quirky. Now the colours. They are popping. Very very bright. Very very cool. These lippys can be rather drying but I do find they last. The only issue I have found is when you have been eating, it rubs off on the inside of the lips. Very frustrating but not the end of the world. I would recommend these products purly on the colours available. But they may not be suitable if you are prone to getting dry lips.

I'm perfectly happy with the formula for these products but I wasn't a major fan of the colours that I have - they just weren't very wearable with my skin tone. These were free with a magazine though, so if I was to repurchase them I would take a better look at colour options.

I think the formula of this product is very good and doesn't crack on my lips however the colours are not very nice and I find are too intense. I purchased the colour HO-CHE-MIN and although the consistancy looked good the colour was awful and not what I was expecting! If it wasn't for the crazy colours I would absolutely love this as it smells amazing too.

I purchased this in the colour MA-LI-BOO after hearing all the hype and wanting a bold bright colour for summer and it definitely doesn't fall short in the colour pay off area it definitely turns heads. This is the only matte cream I have tried to date so I can't compare with similar products but I'm absolutely a fan of this one. The doe foot applicator is the perfect tool to get the perfect finish and once dried it is non transferable and doesn't budge apart from however with liquid which I quickly learnt to avoid by using a straw I don't find it too much of a sacrifice because it lasts all night with no touch ups. I will absolutely be purchasing more colours and definitely recommend for a fun addition to any make up collection.

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 purchased the shade ny-cee to wear to a wedding as I was looking for long wearing colour that would stand up to all the food, drink and talking involved over a full day.

It definitely lived up to its promise the colour didn't move all night long! With the exception of some wearing on the inside of my lip but to be fair I ate a full meal and had a few drink and I was really impressed with the staying power.

I found application a little difficult as the colour was very intense and once it was on it was hard to remove so you do need to be careful to ensure a smooth application.

The one downside is the product is very drying so it's important to make sure your have really moisturised lips before application.

Overall I would recommend this product if you are looking for a bold colour that will last all night long. It's great bit having to worry a touching up your lippy all night long!!

I had this in hon a lou lou, I found the colour very intence/pigmented. But still nice, the texture was a little difficult though as it was such a powerful colour if your a little heavy handed you may be in for some trouble as the colour doesnt budge, so you need to get it right the first time other wise your in for a colourful shock. I paid around $16 from farmers for mine. The item looks nice, smells nice but just a wee bit off in the consistency.

It definitely has a matte finish! Super pigmented but i find when i wear this that my lips get super dry and flake. The product wears off my lips but tends to stick to dry patches which can be embarrassing! Have tried lip balms underneath, on top and prepping before hand but just hasn't worked for me. Ive tried so hard to love it but i just can't :(
