Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

I had seen so much hype over this product so had to pick it up and try it for myself! I haven't used them in forever, I have pretty much forgotten about this product but I have it in red and orange/coral.

The packaging is alright. It has the clear tube so you can see the colour of the product and then it has a black lid. It's straight to the point and is fine for a drug store packaging. The applicator was fine and got the product on evenly without much mess.

The product is extremely pigmented. You can build it up for a super intense look or you can put a very thin layer on to make it opaque (Which I much prefer for the orange colour). The colour pay off did not disappoint!

The particular time I wore velour lips I went out for dinner and this did not budge! It stayed on throughout eating and drinking (with a straw) and did not need to be reapplied and still looked flawless when I got home. It did dry a tiny amount but didn't cake or flake for me like other girls have said it did. I did moisturise throughly before applying so that may have played a part in it!

I also found it very easy to take off with just a Kmart make up remover wipe and it didn't stain at all. I was very impressed with the product and was great for the price. However I find the colour to intense for everyday wear and this is why I probably don't reach for it as much as I should.

When these matte creams first came out I wasn't very impressed with the colours because they were too bright and out there and just not something I would wear very often.

But when they came out with a few new ones I fell in love with the colour Shang-hi, it was the perfect deep pink/purple shade and I was so excited to start wearing it.

I found that I preferred to wear this with a lip liner just on the edges of my lips because it made it easier to apply. It was quite easy to apply, really smooth and it spread out quite evenly. After about a minute it completely dries on your lips and when I say dry I mean super dry. It felt like I had put paint on my lips. I tried putting a lip balm underneath but I found that it didn't apply as evenly as without the balm. It made my lips extremely dry and chapped and it starts to fade on the inner part of my lip withing an hour or so. However I did have a lip gloss that was the same shade as the lip stick so I put it over the lip stick after it was completely dry to stop it from moving around. Once I had the lip gloss on, my lips stayed moisturised for as long as the gloss stayed on my lips but it still faded on the inner part of my lips.

This is not a bad product, the formula just needs to be adjusted just a little bit to make it more wearable.

I now own 5 of the velour lips shades, mostly nude shade and I love them! The colour pay off is amazing and are super matte! Only problem Iv had with them is if I rub my lips together the formula balls up a little on my lips (goes a little lumpy)

I purchased this from Farmers a wee while ago as I had heard a lot of great things about it, and because I am a sucker for GWP (got a free nail polish). I got the colour Mi-a-mee which is a beautiful watermelon-peachy colour, and smells delicious like watermelon.

At first I found it quite strange to use a liquid lipstick that dries on the lips but after a couple of times practicing I got the hang of it and the colour pay off was wonderful! Very vibrant and bright.

However this product just dried my lips out way too much. Even after using lip exfoliator and lipbalm first, I found it quite uncomfortable and made my lips look flakey.

It lasted reasonably well on my lips, but I found it annoying that you can't do a neat job of touch ups, it just went crusty! Overall a beautifully pigmented and great smelling product, but too drying for me to use.

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.

I love the Australis Velourlips Matte Cream! I love this product because I am a matte girl not a gloss girl! I have this product in three shades: Nycee, doobai and shanghai :) I wear shanghai and nycee pretty much everyday! I love the matte formula of these! It goes on nice and smooth and stays on all day! The only I guess 'bad' thing I have noticed about this product is that if you put on a thick layer it will start to flake! It rolls up and gathers in the inner part of my mouth and sometimes gets in mouth if I put on a tonne of layers!

They do have a wide selection of colours and came out with five new shades! (which are all beautiful) They have nudes, pinks, oranges, reds, purples and two darker colours that came out with the new collection :) So there's a colours especially made for every skin tone!

They are reasonably priced so if you're following a lipstick trend you wouldn't have to break the bank!

I wouldn't recommend this product to people who have crazy chapped, dry lips! :)

There was so much hype about these lip creams that I had to go out and try them for myself. I picked one up from kmart in the shade ny-cee and it was the most beautiful shade of red. It was absolutely stunning. As soon as I got home I tried it on and I instantly fell in love.

The packaging is very simple but the actual product looks and feels like it's high quality. The pigmenation of these lip creams is amazing. They apply wet then dry into the most gorgeous matte shades. Once they've dried, they're not going anywhere. It's like a lip stain. You can eat and drink whatever you like and these lip creams do not budge or smudge. I was so impressed. They are quite hard to get off so I do recommend using makeup remover to get it all off. I use the maybelline eye and lip remover and it works wonders.

They don't apply patchy and you don't need a million coats to get the coverage you want. 1 layer will do it (2 layers max) depending on your preference.

I can't quite pin point the scent of these velourlips but they smell yummy. They remind me of some kind of lolly but I can't quite put my finger on it. I am a sucker for anything that smells good so that does make me love them even more. But when things smell good enough to eat, who wouldn't.

I have recently added a new one to my collection, it's in the shade shang-hi. The colour is absolutely beautiful. It's a pink berry shade which does take a little getting used to if you're not quite used to dramatic colours.

Australis have done incredibly well with these lip creams. I can't wait to add more to my collection.

I can't contain my love for these liquid lipsticks. Velourlips are beautifully pigmented matte lipsticks.

I find these matte liquid lipstick are highly pigmented with a beautiful range of eye catching colours. They apply to the lips with ease and dry go a extreme matte formula.

Velour lips are kiss proof with it being able to last all day even through eating and drinking the lipstick will not transfer..

The product comes in a simple tube with a dough foot applicator with perfectly fits any lip shape.

The scent of grapes also makes this liquid lipstick more appealingl.

I love the Australis Velourlips Matte Lip Cream. The pigmentation is awesome and I find them easy to apply. They go on smoothly and dry to a nice matte finish. They can be a bit drying but if you use lip balm first they are comfortable. They last a decent amount of time too, but do need to be reapplied after a few hours. The packaging is secure and easy to have in your bag at all times.
