Australis Velour lips (DOO BAI)
$9.95 rrp. Priceline
I fell in love with this colour the moment I swatched it in store (Priceline), unfortunately these babies are a hot commodity and this was the only colour I could get my hands on... not to worry I assure you I'll find a way to get more!
These liquid lipsticks claim to be long lasting and in a matte finish and I can confirm that both these statements are true! I am obsessed with the formula as it is extremely matte and that's ma style (sass click).
The Velourlips smell kind of like bubblegum... but not quite, it actually reminds me of the smell of a bubblegum toothpaste i used to use when I was younger. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it but none the less it is not unpleasant.
The applicator is standard of liquid lipsticks (eg. Limecrime Velvetines) making it really easy to apply, especially if you aren't one to line your lips before application.
The formula is very opaque with one coat but I found I could darken up the colour with another layer; bare in mind that the more you layer this product the more cracked and flaky it may become later on. I found this to be slightly drying on my lips which was expected but as long as you pop on some lip balm before application and you'll be good to go!
This is an unedited image of the product once I had first applied it.
Application was smooth and easy, just try not to get it all over your teeth like I did haha.
This is an unedited image of the product over two hours after application.
It did go slightly patchy and flaky at this point.
If you were looking to wear this long term I would suggest only applying one coat (I had 2 on here)
I hadn't eaten any greasy food in this time so bare in mind this may have affected the appearance,
as oils are usually the weak point for most liquid lipsticks.
Overall I'm really impressed with this! The colour is amazing and the formula in my opinion was definitely long lasting. For the price I think it is well worth the investment. Yet another great little dupe from Australis! I will most definitely be picking up more of these in different colours, so expect swatches soon!
