Australis – Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick

It’s not often that I recommend you run out and get a product, because I recognise that products work differently on different people, but, today, I’m going to recommend you run out and buy Australis’ Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick.

These are described as:

Knockout colour with benefits.  It’s like a treatment, your lips will be healthier wearing colour inject lipstick than not wearing it.

And it’s true.  Seriously, people, read down for the nitty gritty of these lipsticks but I have never, ever, ever found lipsticks so pigmented AND so moisturising, all at the same time.  Usually I get one or the other.  These have both.

And they’re cheap (by Australian standards).

Have you got your car keys / airplane ticket ready yet?  Just wait a couple more minutes, scroll down, read and then….. 3…. 2…. 1….. GO!

Packaging

The packaging on these are pretty basic lipstick packaging.  I do like the bright pink strip in the middle.  It makes them recognisable in my kit and it reminds me of the 1980s.

I was sent five colours in a clear plastic case.  So cool.  I feel like James Bond with magical ampules of colour.

Product

Ok, here’s the deal.  As I mentioned, this are exquisitely easy to apply, extraordinarily moisturising, long lasting and the colours pack a punch.  In one lipstick, Australis have managed to tick every box in a lipstick lover’s checklist.

Put simply, Aussie ladies, you won’t find a lipstick out for less than $15, that works like these.  Heck, I’d rate these as good as YSL and Chanel – and you know how I love those. These are breakthrough awesome.

Don’t believe me? Check out the swatches below.

Ballet – a pink I didn’t think I’d like but this works.  It’s a beautiful soft pink.

Macarena – This is a brown frost that looks like a NARS I have but can’t find and can’t remember the name of.  Perfect for a night out.

Twist – let me tell you a little story about Twist. A few years ago, I had a lipstick by Bloom that I adored.  I had backups of this stuff.  Then, one day, I ran out and they had discontinued the colour.  Twist is that colour.  So so so beautiful for everyday wear.

Jitterbug – is a classic, beautiful, blue red. I don’t need to sell this.  It sells itself, right?

Charleston – My favourite.  This looks dark in the tube but comes out as a lovely reddish-dark pink.  I’m currently wearing this daily and loving it.

Price

These will set you back $12.95 each.  Worth every penny.

Would I repurchase?

Already have.  I have re-purchased all five and an additional two Twists.  If Australis ever discontinue these, I will picket their head office.  No, I’m not joking.
