Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

I have two of these in the shades maliboo and Tokyo. The colours are amazing and are totally matte. However I found that over time the colour would flake and little bits would crumble, particularly from the middle of my bottom lip after eating and drinking. Due to the nature of the product this would leave big bald patches with no colour. The applicator is perfect for the job, packaging is fine but looks a bit basic.

Everyone's been raving about this, so I really wanted to love this product. I have tried and worn all the shades, and the positive I can say about them is the lovely velvet-y matte finish and the staying power - it definitely lasts a whole night! However, none of the colours really work for me - I'd love to see these in some darker/more wearable colours, like browns and plums, like Lime Crime has done. Also, the matte finish means these can look and feel a bit dry. They are also super pigmented, which is idea for night but not necessarily for daytime or work.

I have this product in the purple colour. I really like the consistency when you apply it as it's really creamy before it sets to a matte finish. I love how this just makes my lips pop with colour. I wore mine to a 1950's inspired wedding and got compliments all night. I only had to reapply after eating a meal.

Saw the gorgeous Shaaanxo use these so I was like..omg..must get! Loved the colour, cute packaging but the product itself flaked way to much to be nice. I tried again with some lipbalm underneath and it was better but compared the Lime crime velvetines these are the really poor cousin

I have this in the shade Rio-D. It is a lot brighter and more neon then it comes off in swatches online! But it is very pretty. A bright, orange coral neon matte. When I first purchased it I was a little disappointed and couldn't really get it to work the best. It was patchy and streaky in places and when I went for another coat it went thick and tacky. I have since found out that using lip balm directly under it before you apply it works a treat. It lasts a long time on my lips but does start flaking off eventually, and not easy to reapply. Overall it is okay, but I prefer other formula matte lipsticks to this one.

Is good, such a nice strong colour a and is matte , but yet if you have dry lips or re apply through out the day it tends to get a bit dry and starts rubbing off, so just be carefull, wipe off and reapply, or moisturize lips first!

I have this in the colour Pa-ree and I'm not 100% sold. I love the creamy application and the matte finish but I found it really drying. I personally have to use another product on top of this (lipbalm usually) to prevent my lips from drying. The staying power however is great and will usually last me through the day if applied before work.

I was lusting over these for months until I finally brought myself some for Christmas, I was so obsessed with the pigmentation and the shades that I brought one each week.

They are heavily pigmented, and you need to exfoliate your lips before applying these because when they dry, you see every imperfection underneath. I like how you don't have to line your lips with lip liner when you wear these which cuts the time in half.

The matte creams are smudge free but you cant wear them for more than 2 hours before they are too drying. If your looking for longer wear I apply a lip gloss over the top which stops the cream from drying as quickly.

I have also noticed that the ones I first purchased have dried out a lot compared to the ones I recently purchased. The formula ends up more like a thick cream that is harder to apply. The only shade that bleeds once it is applied is Doo-bai, the rest of the collection do not bleed.

The new shades that have been released : Buda-pash, Doo-bai and Shang-hai feel like a different formula. They are pigmented but if you touch your lips on anything, some of the colour comes off. The other shades don't transfer on to anything.
