Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

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 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 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 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 have both the hot pink and the orange and I love the colours! They bright, pigmented, and long lasting. They don't transfer once dried but can be drying on the lips which can be a pain. I want to get more of the colours to add to my collection.

Saw the gorgeous Shaaanxo use these so I was like..omg..must get! Loved the colour, cute packaging but the product itself flaked way to much to be nice. I tried again with some lipbalm underneath and it was better but compared the Lime crime velvetines these are the really poor cousin

ahh i love this stuff not only for the price but the brightness and the matte look may i add their fruity smells are totally amazing. Its a highly pigmaented lip cream that comes out with a matte finish. Its a creamy bright and easy to apply long lasting lippy that holds well to your lips. Its packaging is simple but styley and small which makes it easy to take anywear.

I purchased the Velourlips in Ma-li-boo which is a gorgeous bright pink colour. I initially wasn't going to because being Australis I assumed the staying power would be pretty rubbish, however I had swatched it on my hand whilst browsing in Farmers and when i went to wipe all the swatches off my hand this one wouldn't budge. So in to my collection it went!

I wear it on nights out and it literally stays on all night. Once it dries it is not going anywhere! When you have a drink it doesn't transfer to the glass, it's like magic. And the colour is to die for. I get so many compliments! Will be going to purchase the purple colour shortly :)

These are basically the cheap dupes of lime crime velvetines, the packaging is clear plastic with a black lid, where as velvetines are a more glass type packaging. Anyway, the pigmentation is just as great! Super bright, vibrant colours that don't bleed when you apply them. Most of the colours are quite out there (the pink, purple and red is very bright) but there is a browny nude which is gorgeous! I honestly think these are worth a shot to see if you like liquid lipsticks, or if you don't have $30 odd dollars to spend on a velvetine. The staying power is amazing, one swipe and the pigmented colour is applies with no smudging when you're eating or drinking, it is quite a matte finish but doesn't dry out your lips too much! (Still use a lip balm before applying) the application stick is quick and easy to use, creating a quick sharp line. They're so creamy and velvety, they don't show cracks in your lips and I would definitely recommend!

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.
