Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

Possibly couldn't rave about this product enough! I'm in love, these lip colours are amazing, they stay on for hours, even after eating. The colours are gorgeous, vibrant and on trend. Such easy application, its almost impossible to go wrong! Only thing I don't like is the range! I wish there were more than 5 colours

These are AMAZING! They dry completely matte meaning they will not budge. And I mean it. They do not move no matter how much you scratch, eat or kiss. The colour selection is beautiful and I believe they just launched some more colours! The downside of these though are that because they are matte, they are really drying. My lips literally cry after I wear these. They also bleed a little so make sure you line your lips beforehand!

This really is my favorite long last lipstick. I currently have it in a Hot pink shade and a nude called Pa-ree.

What I love the most is that out of all my liquid to matte lipsticks this one is the only one I find to actually be non-transferable. I can kiss the back of my hand and it doesn't leave any marks and it will be there at the end of the day. I will only see just a light brush of colour when im eating like a sandwich - so that makes this a perfect option for dinner or lunch dates.

Another thing I really like about this product is the scent. Im a huge fan of nice smelling lippies (not everyone is I know) and to me this smells like hubba bubba, I just want to eat it.

As for the texture it do find it rather tacky during the original application until it dries down to a matte then most of the tackiness goes away, but you can definitely feel it on your lips. It doesn't flake or pill-up which is great as this is always a fear of mine when wearing bright lipstick.

In terms of colour pay off I do find my nude shade more even than my hot pink and find the coverage comparable to my NYX soft matte cream which is almost powdery looking sometimes, but the good news is that it is buildable.

Over all im in love with this lipstick and plan on getting more!

I have the purple shade at the moment but after using it a few times, I'm definitely going to be buying more!

I initially bought two as gifts for people and an extra for myself since they were on a 'buy two get a third free' special at Farmers a while ago.

Initial reaction, was that the formula is a little on the thicker side but the smell is delicious! Like that Japanese candy grape smell.

It applies very easy but the wand makes it a little difficult to make it precise, especially given the colours are so bold you want to make sure it's perfect.

It lasts a little while, but I wouldn't say it's the longest lasting lip colour I've got, but it does stay pretty well for what is essentially a lip gloss. And it does dry matte but goes a little on the tacky side, which I don't mind at all.

I also wore this over a purple lipstick to see what it looked like and it definitely made my lips look uber purple!

So overall I'm pretty pleased with this, and I will definitely repurchase.

I got this lovely lippy for xmas and let me tell you the colour (Ny-CEE) is to die for!! It makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time and creates butterflies in my tummy!

I love that the applicator is like a lip gloss wand making it far easier to apply and get a perfect shape without colouring outside the lines. The smell is oh so yummy, reminds me of lollies almost. It makes it so much more inviting to wear and I am sure I get looks from sniffing my lips making it look like I'm puckering up when I feel the need.

It really does have staying power when kissing and even eating and drinking. I am convinced that I have found a lippy that will last a few hours and for a great price.

One con that I found was it dries and makes my lips feel flaky and dry. I applied some clear gloss and hello wet look! It looks one hundred times better as a wet look. I wish I could upload a photo because I am in love!

I am now on a mission to acquire all the colours that float my boat so that I may be set for every outfit and mood also some more clear gloss. :D

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 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 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)

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'm absolutely in love with Velourlips! I was given BAR-THA-LONA and SHANG-HI, and I fell for their colours immediately that I had to get another and ended up buying myself DOO-BAI.

BTL is sort of like a coral pink red. And it's so lovely. If you're going for a summery, pretty look, definitely grab this colour. It really pops out. SHANG-HI is a magenta pink and it is absolutely divine. Definitely my favourite from the three, and I got countless compliments when I wore it out. DOO-BAI is a classic dark maroon, leaning towards oxblood, but definitely not as dark as BUDA-PASH. If you want to try out something daring and vampy, but are a bit too shy of BP's darkness, I definitely suggest going for DB!

Of course, all of these come on wet then dry fast. And they all last relatively long. I remember swatching it on my hand when I first checked them out in Farmers. I swatched in the morning and even after countless rubbing and washing my hands throughout the day there was still an evident mark of the swatches. However, after eating and drinking it does tend to fade around the center of the mouth. Not to the point where it's too obvious, but the great thing is you can always reapply over the faded parts and it won't feel clumpy or messy unlike some liquid lipsticks out there.

It's probably obvious by now, but I highly recommend Velourlips. For the price, you cannot go wrong with these.

Update: I ended up giving away DB to my friend who had been really wanting it, and since I never usually opt for dark colours (I still have yet to feel more comfortable with darker tones!) thought I'd let her have it so she could put it to good use.
