Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

This is incredibly drying so you probably need to exfoliate and prime lips beforehand. I found that it cracked regardless, but this may be as i have lips that tend to dry over the day. It is easy to apply and dries very quickly, you just have to work fast

Love the colours but they dry out your lips so much :( colours start to crack and flake if you apply more than one coat... Prefer other matte lipcreams.

Maybe the hip of this got a little too much for me. Its okay, the consistency is great and the smell is amazing but with the consistency its easy to over apply which makes it prone to cracking. Its quite drying so a lip balm is a must. I have the shade pa-ree and if you have an olive/tan skin tone like me, it can wash you out. This doesn't go well with food and drink, you're only gonna wear this if you're going to the supermarket, because you can't just reapply, you have to remove the whole thing if you wanna reapply

The Australis Velourlips are my ultimate favorite lip product right now! i have the ma-li-boo (pink), Tok-i-o (purple) and Rio-d (orange - coral) and I can not get enough of these, I won't stop until i have them all.

The colour pigment payoff is incredible, very bright vibrant colours, the colours just "pop", make me feel stunning and on top of the world when I wear these. The pink is a very bright hot pink, The purple is a bright pastal type colour and the orange is not quite orange but kind of too bright to be called coral so its in between but all of the colours I have are amazing.

The packaging is nice and simping, in a lipgloss type container with the same lipgloss type applicator, very simple to put on and doesn't apply messy which is something I really like. You can see the colour in the bottle which I like so it doesnt have to be opened to see what the colour is going to be and because you can see the product, it comes out exactly that colour. The little bottle has cute simple labeling with a lace pattern at the top and bottom.

Now for the product, you have to be quite quick to apply as it does set very quickly and if one layer sets before you apply another it can go a bit funny (not sure how to describe it) umm goes flaky on your lips so it doesn't feel nice if that happens. But it goes on creamy and smooth and it is your choice to add more layers, I do cause I love how bright they are. This product is for sure matte, it sets really well and looks beautiful, and the best thing is, is that its kiss proof! I can eat and drink nearly all day wearing this product and it stays put, I do find though that certain foods will take it off a little bit and what I personally do is take it all off and start again, not sure if you have to do this but I dont even want to encourage that flaky feeling. They are quite hard to get off at the end of the day, i find a warm face cloth is best for me, and if you dont take it off before bed, it will still be there when you wake up (learned that the hard way). The smell of this product is amazing, kind of fruity but the smell reminds me of something that I cant remember.

Overall I LOVE the Velourlips, they will be a favorite of mine for a very long time to come I think, I wear them every day, even if I don't go any where, if you haven't tried them I really suggest you do, you won't regret it.

I got this product free from work in the colour MALIBOO (hot pink) as they were freebies on magazines and we didn't sell all of the magazines. Score!

I had heard great things from Shaanxo (YouTube beauty blogger) and so was more than happy to try it out and see for myself how vibrant and long lasting they were.

I absolutely love the colour. It is one of the most vibrant, true to colour lip stains I own. It looks exactly the same on your lips as it does inside the tube which I love!!

Although the product is definitely longer lasting than most lipsticks after eating and drinking, I found that it didn't last a whole night out, maybe 2-3 hours at most, and it starts to flake, dry out and just look horrible, so I would have to reapply the lipstain after a few hours of wear.

However, I have used this product many times because I absolutely love the vibrancy.

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 recently broke my no-spend (oops!) and decided to purchase this in the shade Par-ee after the whole hype over Kylie Jenner has died down somewhat and it was actually in stock!

You get about as much, if not slightly more product in a tube than our trusty old Velvetines.. I'm not sure if I should be comparative but I think I'll make an exception to be on this review. It's half the price, so what makes the Velvetine better than the Velourlips?

The packaging: Not quite as cute, but it does the job and it doesn't look cheap. The wand is about the same size as the Velvetine, but it holds more product. Something I like more because with the Velvetine I never have enough product on my wand.

Formula: Velourlips are sticky, but not gloss sticky. It's something I don't particularly like because I'm not a lipgloss fan. They do dry matte though. They smell quite nice, like tutti-fruity.

Drying & Lasting Power: It dries faster than the Velvetines, and I find that the lasting power is longer when eating or drinking. It also doesn't make little rumples like the Velvetines do, so you can touch it up too.

Which one would I rather buy? For the price & functionality - definitely the Australis. But for the splurge, cuteness factor I'd buy LC. To be honest though, Australis does have more colours and they're more appealing to me than the Lime Crime ones.
