Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

These matte lip creams are very very drying and made my skin flake off every time i wore them even though my lips are pretty hydrated. They are very matte and dried quickly which was a positive so i guess they did do what it said it would but i wish they weren't as drying. The product would stick to any cracks or dry spots on my lips and would be very noticeable every time i wore it which i didnt like. I guess this product is just not for me.

I got the purple velourlips free with a magazine and I'm glad I did! It feels like you are using paint on your lips and it stays on for ever. Was it's on your lips it won't budge AT ALL! Some people may find it too drying or too matte but if you prep your lips before hand the product won't do any of these thing. I love the smell of this product too. The colour was so pretty and very different to anything I already own. The shade range is too die for and I plan on buying the whole range once the new shades come out in NZ.

I have both the bright red and the purple and am in love with them both. They smell delicious, are incredibly easy to apply, and the colors are bold matter drying head turners. Do be aware they dry your lips somewhat but I think the pay off of the quality of color over shadows this.

I love the colours of these but they just go so down hill so fast! I used the red when I went to a hens night and it came off on the glasses when I was drinking and then when I went to touch up it went soooo tacky and gross I just ended up wiping it off and it just stained my lips really bad. So over all, for wear if your not going to want it to last very long then its good

I have the purple and orange velour lips and they definitely are very matte on the lips and are very hard to get off of your lips. I love the color range of the velour lips as they are so bright and unique.

A negative that I have about the velour lips is that they are very drying and don't feel very nice on the lips. It is also very hard to reapply the product if it does start to wear off as I found that is went quite 'crumbly' on my lips and started to flake off because the layers had obviously got too thick.

I think they are a good lip product if you can handle the dry lips and also maybe only wear them for a short period of time so there is no need to reapply and then you shouldn't have any problems! :)

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.

I absolutely love these wee babies and what isn't to like when they offer a wide range of colours, beautiful matte finish with the only downfall being that they can be a little drying if you don't prep your lips properly. I own these in Hon-o-loo-loo and the metallic limited edition 'Grandmaster Pash' and love both! Highly recommend especially for price point.

These are great and affordable. I love that they're matte and last 3 to 4 hours though after awhile they do bunch up slightly on the lips. Some of the colours are not as opaque (I find mi-la-no and rio-d are patchy on me) though my natural lip colour is quite pigmented so that could be why. The red in this collection and hon-o-lu-lu are my favourites.

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.
