Australis Velourlips - new shades

As a huge fan of matte & budge proof lippies like Velveteens, I love when I see budget brands bringing out their own versions which are just as good as their more expensive counterparts. I am of course talking about the Australis Velourlips, which surely require no introduction if you live on my side of the world? I already have the bright orange shade RIO D which I blogged about here, but these are some new shades that Australis have released which are much more muted than the previous bright offerings.

The new shades are:
MIL-A-NO: Pale nude, perfect needs a glossy top coat or it can give you concealer-lips!
HON-O-LOO-LOO: Slightly darker, more wearable nude than MIL-A-NO.
HO-CHEE-MIN: Milky pale pink
LUN - DUN: I'd already picked this muted lilac shade up from my local priceline, it's my favourite of the lot.
MI-A-MEE: Bright watermelon pink, my other favourite of the bunch.

These Velourlips are $9.95 each from Priceline or wherever Australis is sold. They're very long lasting. They apply like glossy creams but within a few minutes set to a matte finish which does not budge. This can make them drying on the lips, but that's just what you get with these formulas. I do highly recommend these if you're a fan of the budge-proof formula, the only problem is trying to locate your favourite shade as they sell out quickly!

Have you tried the Velourlips range?
