Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

After trying one of these lip creams I was hooked and now own I believe most of them, some of them are minis.

I love that they are named after places in a cute way, the colours are amazing and none that I have tried are patchy, or have they left my lips stained once removed.

Very comfortable to apply, very creamy and dry down to keep matte all day only when eating oily foods do I find that they break down.

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.

This is a nice creamy product that goes on well with its applicator. It's highly pigmented and lasts ages, it does everything you want a liquid lipstick to do. My ONLY issue (which is a big one for me) is that it is very drying on the lips, it can also start to crack throughout the day as your lips dry out (the cracking can easily be fixed by swiping on another layer of the lipstick). The price is wonderful, the colours are wonderful, but the drying aspect puts me off, I would definitely wear this product for a few hours but would not purchase as something to wear all day as it gets too uncomfortable on my lips.

i love this product its Perfect for when you want lasting, matte colour that moves with your lips without flaking. i love how its creamy and lasts all day.

I have been looking for a Matte lipstick in New Zealand that didn't cost too much as I wanted to see if it's something I would wear more often. I LOOOOVE this product. I bought 2 of the darker shades, Buda-Pash and Mo-zam-chic. I also bought the lip primer "All about that base" as I have read that its makes the lip color apply better without streaks. I am so glad I did. When i use the Matte lipstick without it, my lips are dry and the product applies patchy. I will most defiantly be buying more of the shades, maybe lighter to see if it wears a bit better as the darker shade does tend to be of a thicker consistency.

To be fair I only have one shade but it is not a good colour at all for me. The actual formula is really thick so it can be hard to apply at times. Personally I have very dry lips so matte products generally don't work for me. It is very drying and crumbles off during wear.

I think that australis is a good brand as a whole but this is definitely not their best product.

I love matte lipsticks and thought I would give these a try. The colours range is very wearable and beautiful.

The lipsticks come in a plastic long tube, each has a doe foot wand applicator. The packaging is quite simple and practical. The tube closes tightly, the applicator helps with applying the lipstick evenly and nicely.

The formula is creamy and applies easily, it glides on beautifully. It comes to a velvety matte finish, the colour is very opaque and pigmented. I only applied a small amount of product, apply a thin coat and the result is still great. I am very pleased with the finish colour on my lips and the colours last for ages without fading. The lipstick has a very subtle nice sweet smell.

All the shades I’ve tried are gorgeous, they last all day but they do feel a bit dry on my lips. That is the only drawback.

Great value for money and available in any department store. I would definitely try a few more shades.

Firstly I would like to thank Trudi for all the enabling she did during the Lipstick Challenge. I had never tried this before so when I saw it for $7 in my recent trip to Gold Coast, I had to get. I loved the hot pink color so much that the next day I bought the other two colors that the supermarket had-which didnt suit me at all(because it will a crime to not get it when they are these cheap).

The two nudes were a bit patchy and didnt last long. But the hot pink was up there. The packaging is clear so you can see the color you are getting and has a black cap. They have country names on them for the colors which is really confusing because I cant remember any of it now.

The pink one I found to be very longlasting-8 hours plus. Except for it fading a bit when I was eating. Didnt transfer much although it was drying. The nudes werent as dry but didnt last long. Thinking I got some duds I went to Farmers and got two more for $17. Gorgeous greyish brown one a mauve one. Loving the colors they have-also saw some black, white, green and blue ones!

The pink one is the only one that seemed to last longest but is also the driest. However the other two colors I got were very pigmented. Needs toping up but Iam not complaining. Its a good buy when its on sale or has GWP. Give it a go. You might like it. I have received many compliments regarding the colors. Only the nudes didnt work out too well for me. The darker colors are better.

When matte lipsticks first hit the beauty scene, Australis seemed to be the first affordable brand to make their own range of matte lipsticks, and I think that is awesome. The brand has a good colour range, the products are readily available and pretty affordable too.

These come in a standard liquid lipstick tube with a black lid and see through plastic packaging.The product has a doe foot applicator which works really well and makes it really easy to apply.

The formula of this product feels nice when applying. It goes on smoothly, and dries down quickly. The colour is pigmented, and opaque too (I have only tried one colour from the range).

I love a lot of Australis products, but not this one. I found the Velourlips really drying. It does cake, flake and crumble, and that is not a good look. I have tried using this with a lipbalm, exfoliating before hand and everything else I could think of, but nothing makes these lipsticks comfortable to wear and so I won't be using/repurchasing this product.
