Australis Cosmetics ♡ Velourlips Matte Lip Cream

Hi everyone, today I have a review for you all on the Australis Velourlips Matte Lip Cream.

Australis have fifteen shades of their Velourlips available on their website, with five of them being brand new shades. I purchased mine from Priceline for $9.95 which is the same retail price on the Australis website. If you are interested in the other shades they carry here is Australis website. www.australiscosmetics.com.au/ 

I only have four of their shades in my collection which are RIO-D, TOK-IO, MA-LI-BOO and NY-CEE.

Shades listed above in order.

Australis claims of this product: highly pigmented, matte finish, creamy long-wear formula, glides on easily, finishing to a velvety matte look with intense full coverage payoff, moves with your lips, no caking or flaking.

I agree with most of that, they are very pigmented as you can see from the picture below.

Swatch of shades, in order RIO-D, TOK-IO, MA-LI-BOO and NY-CEE.

 

The Velourlips do have a matte finish, they do have a creamy formula, they definitely glide on easily, they do have full coverage payoff and they do move with your lips.

However as you can see I did not agree with everything, for me personally I would not say these are a long-wear formula or that they do not cake or flake off. I've had a different experience with these sadly, I have tried a few methods to get these to work for me, I have tried leaving papaw ointment on while I do my make up and then wiping of the papaw ointment and applying the matte lip cream then 3-5 minutes later its starts to crack and well flake off.

I have tried to put on as less as possible one coat, still same result it wears off within 5 minutes. I am still looking for a way I can make this product work, because although it hasn't worked amazingly for me I still love the product.

I like the pay off of the colors, and not just one ALL four colors I own have amazing pigmentation. The smell oh wow that smell! It reminds me of a child hood candy, If any of you get the chance please smell the candy Nerds the packet of purple and pink candy. That is what the smell reminds me of every time I put it on. 

I am still willing to give this product a chance, don't get me wrong I still put them on my lips so I'm not neglecting them at all even if I have to wipe it of 5 minutes later. Any suggestions on how I can make this be my holy grail and get it to work for me please leave a comment below I would really like to be able to rock these colors.

Pros  pigmentation, glides on the lips easily, moves with your lips, full coverage, matte finish.

Cons price, flakes off my lips within 5 minutes, not long lasting.
