Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

I was really excited when these came out because I love matte lip colours. I have only tried the more vibrant colours as the nudes haven't come out yet. I have been trying to get into more bright colours and these are perfect. I don't find them too drying at all on my lips, and they're a good affordable price too. I need to buy more!

I must say....Australis is not a brand I tend to use a lot but decided to give it a decent go lately because it was buy 2 products and get the third free. I happened to choose 2 velourlips in amongst it all. I though that if they weren't any good, I could just give them to my little girl to play with. After trying one for the first time I'm now kicking myself as to what took me so long? And dare I say it.....I prefer these to the limecrime velvetines. They go on like a dream and lasted me through pretty much a whole day with only one touch up after eating lunch. The consistency wasn't super runny but they do take just a wee while to dry I found.

I love, love, love my velourlips! The formula is fantastic, it applies so smoothly and dries the perfect matte and it doesn't feel like it's drying out your lips (pet hate). I am so disappointed because mine (Rio-D) is super bright and I am still building the confidence to rock the colour so I don't wear it that often. Definitely going to purchase the other colours because they are amazing and so cheap!

I bought this in the bright orange/peach shade Rio-D and wasn't very impressed with it. I have limecrime's velvetine matte lip colour in Suedeberry and NYX soft matte lip cream in Antwerp (both darker colours) and they both have a lot better formula and pigmentation than the Australis and the colour range when I purchased mine was poor. I have seen the new 5 colours they have brought out which look a lot more wearable and perhaps the darker shades will have more pigmentation.

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.

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!

One of the longest-lasting lip products I've ever used. Without makeup remover there is no way you're getting these things to budge. They live up to their claims of not caking or flaking, but they are still too drying to use without exfoliating first and a good bit of lip balm after.

The main con is a lack of wearable everyday colours, as they seem to lean to the extremes.

I was really surprised by this product, it had great, dense colour and a really nice finish with only one coat. It was a little dry feeling but that is to be expected with the matte finish. I have it in Par-ee which is a great 'Kylie' style of lip.

This is a great product as it is extremely long wearing and doesn't budge throughout the day or during a night out. However, it feels very drying on your lips but is easily fixed by popping some clear lip balm over the top. One other minor disadvantage is that there is not a very big colour selection.
