Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

This product have really nice colour and smells really nice but it make my lips dry!!! It stay quite long and kiss proof. I would not recommend it if you have dry lips.

Love the coverage of these products. Great colours. Can feel a little cakey on the lips, and is a bit difficult to retouch after eating.

Recently bought this product in mum-bai, and it was okay. I didn't find the colour as vibrant as it appears in the bottle. The product smells super nice though, I'll give them that. I'll probably use the rest of the bottle and most likely not purchase again.

I have two of these: Mum-bai (a very dark burgundy that dries almost black) and To-ki-o (the most fabulous shade of purple).

The colours are vibrant and amazing. You don't need to go too overboard with application to get a great colour payoff. In fact you really do need to exercise some restraint with application as you can get a nasty, patchy result if you apply too much at once.

Very patient application is key with these liquid lipsticks. Prepare well with exfoliation, a good waxy lipbalm and very precise liner application. These aren't too forgiving if you go too fast and paint outside the lines! The pigmentation is strong and stains your skin quickly. It takes a bit of getting used to how much to apply is the right amount as too much or too little can look terrible. Also be patient in letting it dry completely before you press your lips together!

It lasts well if you stay away from anything greasy and be careful with your drinks. I really love these lipsticks, but they do take a bit of effort for a good result. For this reason I don't wear them every day, but I do love to get them out when I'm in the mood.

The sweet smell of the product is an added bonus too!

I have heard raves about this product and was interested to try it. The formula was a little to creamy for my liking and caked on my lips a little! I brought the pack of 5 minis, the colours are nice but should have really tested them before buying as i feel none of them suit me

I brought one of these bad boys from Farmers as a birthday gift to myself, I got Hon-o-loo-loo which is a light pastel shade of pink. I was quite excited to buy a matte cream as I had never owned one but wanted to see what all the hype was about... Kylie Jenner *cough*

I went into Farmers and wanted a lighter shade, something kind of neutral and I had looked up online to see that NYX had some pretty good brands but unfortunately they weren't available at the time. I felt inclined to lean towards the pinker shades as I felt like that was my only option because I was determined not to walk out of Farmers with a darker shade ( Its a common thing I do).

The Australis display was gorgeous and I managed to finally pick a colour I was happy with, which was my pretty pink pastel shade.

I was so thrilled with my choice that I quickly unscrewed the lid and started applying it without a second thought, the mixture applied really softly and evenly over my lips and smelt divine. During the car ride home though it became very dry and I noticed that it started to dissapear where my water line was and become almost crumbly...

I applied some more and boy oh boy it did not like that! I thought maybe with some exfoliating things would be better, but nope same problem kept happening.... I found that I would get maybe about 1 hour wear before having to scrape the crumbly bits off for a quick fix.

Another little problem was how glunky and clumpy the lipgloss went after a few weeks of having it... I felt as though the inside was drying out?

Overall I did like the colour, packaging and smell and I would be a liar if I said I didn't want to buy another one. I feel like I have mixed feelings on this one guys!

I have brought a few of these over the last couple of years and for the price, they are ok. The colour and finish are nice, however I found they do seem to crack and dry out on my lips and after a few hours of wearing they begin to look abit ordinary. I think alot of matte lip creams do this though, especially the cheaper ones. They have a nice range of shades otherwise but I have found other brands to be alot better overall. I also don't like the smell of them much. Touching up using these lip creams is also a bad idea as they look terrible if you apply another coat over to tidy up where it has worn off, you basically have to start over. So overall they are ok, but nothing amazing here.

But maybe not for me. I found this to be very drying on my lips, even with exfoliating and using lip balm prior to use. They do have amazing colour pay off though and a great range of shades, but I just found this too drying for my liking, I dont really reach for it.

I like the colour range, but several of the colours (Miami and a maroon Metallix shade) were not very pigmented and required building up several layers. As such, it became quite flaky. It also felt very dry on the lips and quite uncomfortable. Wear time is okay (4 to 6 hours) as long as you don't eat anything too oily.
