Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

Purchased this in an online sale for a couple of bucks I wanted to try it out as I had not tried the Matte Cream range. Pretty standard packaging. Black lid, lace style edging on the barrel.

Candy fragrance, not overpowering. The cream colour was not as creamy as was expecting. Was a bit more of a gluggy texture. Also not as pigmented as was expecting. First layer was a bit patchy so tried a second layer after the first layer dried, did improve the look.

Staying power? Did rub off a bit after smoking and eating but that is to be expected. Overall underwhelmed with this product and won't be repurchasing.

With the range of colours presented by the brand i was incredibly excited to test these out, but to my disappointment they weren't all that amazing at all. The scent of the matte lipsticks was nice and not too overpowering, and in the beginning the application was only a little streaky, but as the lipstick dried i faced problems. I moisturised my lips well before hand as well as using a lipscrub so i was sure there was no dryness, but sadly the lipstick was so matte that it made my lips look weird and dry before flaking off!

I first heard of the these whilst watching a YouTube tutorial, I then found out that they were free with the (then) current issue of Girlfriend magazine! So what did I do? I went out and bought three copies of Girlfriend magazine. It must have a been a great month for their sales as I know I'm not the only one who did this! Hah!

I ended up getting Maliboo, Tokio & Rio-D as I couldn't find the other two colours (I really really wanted Ny-Cee!)

These things are BRIGHT. Ultra violet bright. They are stunning colours & they look beautiful with a flawless face - think simple smoky eyes & glowing perfect foundation. I did end up purchasing Ny-Cee when they became available in stores a couple of months later & it is my favourite of them all. It's a beautiful deep red that looks so classic & classy.

They dry really quickly, they are a true matte & they do not budge. At all. My only gripe with them is that they can flake. Unless you have perfectly smooth & exfoliated lips to begin with then you're going to end up looking like a hot mess as the day goes on. The trick I've found is to apply as little as you possibly can. You need make up remover to get the product off so if you make a mess during application then you're going to be in trouble!

UPDATE! - I really do not like these at all. I can't handle the fact that they peel and that you cannot get them off unless you use makeup remover! I can't change my lip colour at all as it ruins the makeup around my mouth when I try to remove it =(

The colours are all beautiful and they are quite pigmented. They last fairly long on your lips, but they are so drying it's disgusting. They also are sticky on my lips, it feels like I have glue on them and it's disgusting. It makes my lips flake, whereas my other lipsticks have never done that, I always have lovely hydrated lips.

i do like the color range but damn after an hour of this on i found my lips were suuuper dry and the center of my lip was so faded i had to reapply and then because of that my lips looked to cakey with color :/

I picked up the Australis Velourlips as a mini 5 pack from Farmers for $19.99. If you're really interested in trying this range then I suggest you also buy one of the mini packs. The pack I purchased contained 5 pinky nude shades including Mil-A-No, Hon-O-Loo-Loo, Ho-Chee-Min, Los-Angel-es, and Lun-Dun.

The packaging of these are super cute and the scent is amazing. They smell super sweet, kind of like grape bubblegum. All the colours I receieved suited me really well, aside from the shade Mil-A-No which made me look like I had concealer all over my lips. Unfortunately those points are about the only things I like about this product.

I have found that the light coloured shades apply really patchy. The darker ones seem to be less patchy, but they are still no where near perfect. Regardless of whether I apply a thin amount or a thick amount, nothing seems to stop this product from looking patchy and streaky on my lips.

This product feels really gloopy and thick on my lips. It slides on easy enough, but once it starts to dry it gets really crumbly and flaky. None of the shades seemed to dry completely matte for me. When I took a drink from a glass, the product completed transferred to the glass leaving my lips bare! My lips didn't feel super dry after using them, but maybe that's because they never lasted on my lips for more than an hour.

I really hoped that I would like the Australis Velourlips because the colour range is great and they are super affordable. But I'm sad to say that this product just isn't for me. I can't wear the shades I own, so I'll probably give them to a friend.

I got the Australis velourlips in the colour mal-i-boo free with a magazine. I had only heard about velourlips on one of the Facebook beauty pages , but in saying that i hadn't really thought about buying them. Im glad i didn't spend my actual money on it. So many people love these but for me Mal-i-boo is a hard colour to pull off being a bright matte pink and defiantly is not my colour, the packaging is girly and simple. The consistency is thick , fast drying and the smell is very sweet like candy!The actual product just did not work for me , no matter how i applied the product with the doe foot applicator which may i add was very easy to use, it just looked cakey then started flaking after around five minutes ! What really annoyed me was when i put more on it cracked and flaked off my lips even more and just looked so yuck that i had to wipe it off ! Im unsure of the reason it looked so yuck maybe it was because i have quite dry lips. Although i did use a lip scrub and lip balm before hand and it still didn't help. I have thought about repurchasing the nude colour but i don't think it would be worth it just in case it did the same thing as Mal-i-boo. I really wanted to love this product but sadly i did not :( Although i didn't like it , i have a friend who has all the colours and loves them so i would recommend to a friend as it may have just been my lips.

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

This product does not agree with my lip type. I have very dry lips naturally and find this lip cream almost impossible to use. I find it hard to apply to my lips as the product goes on very streaky and uneven. I also find this lip cream to be awfully drying to my lips. When the product dries it has a sort of cracked appearance on my lips.

The good side of this lip cream is that it is extremely pigmented. The staying power is amazing so amazing that I find it almost impossible to remove this product from my lips. This product is still super vibrant and opaque after hours of wearing it, even when you eat and drink this stuff does not budge.

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.
