Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

These are fun, super bright in amazing colours and long lasting! They do taste a bit funny but not bad for the price of 17.50.

Iv'e tried many liquid to matte lipsticks and I find the velour lips average in quality. They do tend to take a while to dry on your lips so its kind of annoying applying but other than that they are good for the price. My velour lips just sit in my collection and never get used sadly.

I both adore and dislike Velourlips! Firstly, the colours are gorgeous and he pigmentation is out of this world! I have the orange (Rio-D) and pink (Ma-Li-Boo) and they are so intense (in an awesome way).

However, they're a bit too high maintenance for me to want to wear them all the time! Your lips need to be super smooth and moisturised before applying the Velourlips if you want a flawless look that stays put, otherwise they look flakey/patchy or the colour wears off quickly. This puts me off wearing them if I'm in a rush/feeling lazy.

Their staying power is pretty amazing though if your lips are prepped well! I've found they stay on with minimal wear (which usually occurs in the centre of the bottom lip if at all) even after eating and drinking.

Overall I love Velourlips so I just deal with the fussy application :)

I have the Velourlips is Ny-cee, which is a very bright scarlet colour that I absolutely love. It's really pigmented and looks exactly like it does in the tube on your lips.

I've heard a lot of people saying that they found it very drying on their lips compared to the Lime Crime Velvetines, but I actually found the opposite! The Velourlips doesn't flake or dry out my lips, and it stays put all day, even with eating or drinking. I love it because it's so hard to find a bright lip colour that doesn't wear off quickly. It's a major mission to get off though! I generally have to use a fair amount of coconut oil to get rid of it.

I love my Rio-D Velourlips! Its a bright orange that actually looks orange after more than an hour! However, my family tease me a bit when I wear it because it is SO bright, my sister says it looks like chalk. So while I love it, not for everyone I think.

I own this in the hot pink shade. It is great for parties as it definately stands out. Pinks are always my got to colour but this one is definitely the brightest I own. The formula is long lasting and doesn't transfer onto anything so would be great going out for dinner and drinks.

I love having my lips as the main feature when it comes to make up so I'm constantly wearing bright pinks and reds. I, like many others, received this free with a magazine I bought around the end of last year. I got a hot pink one called MA-LI-BOO and I absolutely love it. It has such a creamy texture and you don't need to apply a lot otherwise it looks like you've poured the whole container on haha. A little goes a long way when it comes to this matte lip cream. I loooooove this cream and I would definitely get more and recommend to a friend.

The only downside of Australis Velourlips Matte Cream is that because it's a matte colour, it shows all the cracks in your lips and doesn't look nice close up. But this can be avoided by applying lip balm on before using the cream. OR you can put a nude or light pink (depending on the shade of cream you have) and put a layer of it over the top. This should make the cracks leave and you should be left with smooth creamy lips.

I had to hunt this baby down. Funnily enough the life pharmacy in my neighborhood had a whole stock of them. (I had been searching in farmers mostly) I purchased the bright red colour as to be honest, none of the others really appealed to me! I was blown away how pigmented these were. I made sure I prepped my lips well. Exfoliated then popped on a nice hydrating lip balm before applying. I wore it to work and received a number of compliments from the lads in the office which was nice! It lasted through my two coffees, morning tea and lunch before I needed a tiny touch up. So I was very very impressed. They are drying though so I doubt this will get much use in the winter when my lips tend to dry out.

Another addition to the matte cream lipstick market! I love some of the shades but dislike others as the formula seems to differ a bit between shades. My favourites (for shade and formula) are the purple and bright pink. The orange, in my opinion, is quite unwearable and wouldn't suit many people.

Quite good staying powder and a creamy formula that is slightly drying. Pigmentation is amazing though. Would reccommed to all though for the price and quality
