Australis Velourlips Matte Lip Cream Swatches ♥ Old & New Shades

Australis Velourlips Matte Lip Cream L-R:
PA-REE, HO-CHEE-MIN, LUN-DUN, MA-LI-BOO, MI-A-MEE, RIO-D, NY-CEE

Back in April 2014, I posted a Farmers haul where I tried out two of the Australis Velourlips for the first time! I had mix feelings of the products at the time of my haul, I love the bright and eye-catching colors; but not so much of the formula, I didn't like how the products sets too fast and if applies too many layers, it turns into a clay texture.

So I sold both of the Australis Velourlips and had no plans of trying more because of its dry formula and uncomfortable wear. Who would have guessed when Australis released five more new shades in November, I ran straight to Farmers as soon as it became available and grabbed a few, plus some other old shades. I have decided to give them another go.

Australis Velourlips is described as a highly pigmented lip cream that sets into a beautiful matte finish. Australis claims the creamy long-wear formula glides on easily with the doe-foot applicator, finishing to a velvety matte look with an intense, full-coverage color payoff. The Velourlips range is vegan friendly and it says to be the perfect lip product for anyone that wants a matte lip products that last all day without caking and flaking.

There are ten shades available in the Australis Velourlips, five old shades and five new shades that has been released sometimes in November last year.

I currently own seven of the Australis Velourlips Matte Lip Cream, four from the old shades and three new ones from the new release. Before I go ahead and describe the colors, I just want to say that each of the Australis Velourlips lip cream names are very messed up lol! I have double, no, triple check each of the name printed on the bottom and I am 100% sure I have got the names right; but when I check on their website, it is spell in a different way! o.o

I am loving the new shades Australis has released in November '14, the new colors are still eye-catching, but they are more wearable! Sadly they did not improve the formula, the texture is still as clay-ish as it was if apply more than one layer, it cakes up, crack and flakes. Some people says you just need to learn the 'techniques' of applying these Velourlips . 

Anyway, which of these shades is your favourite? Have you tried any of the new colors and what are your thoughts on this whole Velourlips range?

  2. Wow those names are kinda annoying :S. The colours do look beautiful and so bright, but just the fact that they are matte turns me off. Thanks for the swatches and info!

  3. Glad to hear you mention the difficulties of this formula, I feel like people get a little sheep-like over them and gloss over the formula issues (or think it looks better than it does!). There are some good shades among them, but the duds are spectacularly bad. You shouldn't need to layer a product over lip balm or paint in very small sections or hop on one foot with your eyes crossed and your tongue sticking out to get a good application!
