Australis Velourlips Matte Cream

I bought two of the Australis Velourlips when they were free with the Girlfriend magazine, I thought it was too good an opportunity to miss out! I find them alright, not terrible but not amazing. They have great pigmentation but I find to make it matte I have to blot my lips, otherwise they remain wet and blotchy. There are a lot better matte lipsticks out there, so unless they come free with a magazine, I wouldn't bother.

I own this in the hot pink shade. It is great for parties as it definately stands out. Pinks are always my got to colour but this one is definitely the brightest I own. The formula is long lasting and doesn't transfer onto anything so would be great going out for dinner and drinks.

Another addition to the matte cream lipstick market! I love some of the shades but dislike others as the formula seems to differ a bit between shades. My favourites (for shade and formula) are the purple and bright pink. The orange, in my opinion, is quite unwearable and wouldn't suit many people.

I have the Australis Velour Lips matte cream in Mal-I-Boo (Pink) and I love the colour and the fact that it is non transferable once dry, but at the same time I find it quite hard to maintain if I am going out for longer than a few hours. This matte lipstick feels like you are literally painting your lips,it sticks to your lips very well once applied. The doe applicator makes application easy and I find that it creates a precise look without needing lip liner. When I first tried this product I made sure to scrub my lips with a lip scrub, and then use a moisturiser. I did this to ensure that the lipstick glided on as smoothly as possible, and to get rid of any visible flaking or dryness in my lips. The lipstick dried quickly and was very creamy and smooth at first, but as the day wore on I noticed my lips beginning to flake and become dry again. I cheated and used a lip balm over top to re-create a smooth consistency! This worked well, but the lipstick took longer to dry on my lips because of the lip balm. I would recommend this little trick if you are out and about and are unable to re apply the lipstick. Overall, I really love the colour of this lipstick, the price, and the fact that it is non transferable once dried (unless you eat or drink of course). It is not a product that I would use all the time, as it did dry my lips out a bit, and having to reapply was too much of a hassle for my busy schedule! I think I may try the lime crime velvetines next.

I have heard AMAZING things about this product however whenever I wear it I have to keep reapplying it, even if i'm just chatting with friends over a cup of coffee. I could be doing something wrong but I find after 15minutes I can feel it chipping and making my lips look all wrinkly. Such a cool product its just a shame it does this for me :(

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! :)

There's no doubt these products are the best thing since sliced bread when you first put them on your gob but as you try and rock your perfect purple pout for the rest of the day this is where you find the products fall a little short of your mile high expectations. I know these are matte lip creams but I find the formula a little too drying especially given, now wait for it, they do come off during the day! More annoyingly is that you need to take your whole application off as touch ups aren't possible with this product as it flakes off. I have so much praise for this product if you are wearing it for a shortish amount of time and don't plan on eating or drinking but I struggle to find occasions to wear this due to th rigmoral required to reapply. If you want something still drugstore priced but legitimately budge proof I would pick the Rimmel Provocalips over this.

I had this in hon a lou lou, I found the colour very intence/pigmented. But still nice, the texture was a little difficult though as it was such a powerful colour if your a little heavy handed you may be in for some trouble as the colour doesnt budge, so you need to get it right the first time other wise your in for a colourful shock. I paid around $16 from farmers for mine. The item looks nice, smells nice but just a wee bit off in the consistency.

I purchased this from Farmers a wee while ago as I had heard a lot of great things about it, and because I am a sucker for GWP (got a free nail polish). I got the colour Mi-a-mee which is a beautiful watermelon-peachy colour, and smells delicious like watermelon.

At first I found it quite strange to use a liquid lipstick that dries on the lips but after a couple of times practicing I got the hang of it and the colour pay off was wonderful! Very vibrant and bright.

However this product just dried my lips out way too much. Even after using lip exfoliator and lipbalm first, I found it quite uncomfortable and made my lips look flakey.

It lasted reasonably well on my lips, but I found it annoying that you can't do a neat job of touch ups, it just went crusty! Overall a beautifully pigmented and great smelling product, but too drying for me to use.

My friend had sung the praises of this product, she owns them in almost every colour. I was quite disappointed. I like the colour and the matte-ness but I found the the cream made my lips feel dry and cracked.
