Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick in Hula

I finally have another Australis Colour Inject to add to my collection and receiving this I was so excited because I couldn't get these in store! What I have here is Hula is a great matte coraly pink colour which is almost suitable for every skin colour and not so loud if applied lightly, I suppose. 

I previously own Mambo (which is a dupe for MAC's Blankety) but haven't really touched it that much because I realised it makes me look washed out. I also discovered brighter tone lipsticks suit me more. 

Excuse the breakouts on my skin, I don't usually take self shots of swatched make up on my blog that much but for the purpose of this post I have and it turned out lovely on my lips. 

Despite looking sheer and lustre on the lips here I guarantee you, that it can be buildable to a matte consistency. 

This image was with flash on.

Here is the swatches: 1x, 2x, 3x.

You can see on the third timed swatched it's really pigmented and really buildable to an coraly orange. 

Pros:

• Good Quality Lipstick
• Great Coverage & Pigmentation
• Lasts up to 2-3 hours 
• Buildable colour

Cons:

• Maybe drying without putting any lip balm below (because it is a matte finish)
• Not a fan of the old lipstick scent but it's not overpowering
• The packaging could be prettier... LOL (I don't really like the packaging, it looks old?)

Overall, I'm satisfied with this lipstick. It's not a colour I reach for everyday but it's definitely something for the days when I'm going to Uni or work. I tend to go a bit more bolder and brighter in colours for lips when I'm heading out etc. You can purchase this lipstick at stores where Australis is sold (Priceline, Big W, Target etc) for $12.95AU.

Love, J

Australis Double Decker Eyeshadow Duo in Give Me Some Space

Hi all! I miss posting regularly on my blog, it's so exciting to see the comments pop-up whenever someone leaves one! I'm currently studying and cramming before my first exam on Thursday afternoon for my Statistics exam and then following my Programming Exam and Systems Exam after. Can't wait to pack and also head off to Melbourne for about a week, shopping and catching up with the family down there.

I've been urging to post this review for a while considering I had to get other reviews and all out of the way first, so just quickly - I thought I'll do a quick review on the Australis Double Decker Eyeshadow Duo in Give Me Some Space! When I received this, I was a bit imtimidated by the colour because I'm a more neutral girl when it comes to eyeshadows and make up in general. I was testing out the purple and I somewhat liked it! Though it's not my everyday cup of tea of colour it's a great alternative if you wanna pop some purple instead of using black all the time. This Double Decker Range is full of metallic colours and reminds me of space with the chosen names and colours sold.

This top part of this duo is this Creme Eyeshadow that can be doubled up as a dark purple gel liner it looks almost black but has an iridescent touch of purple and also it's very build able! 

The bottle has a shifter in the same colour but in powder form. 

Left is the Loose Pigment/Eyeshadow and the Right is the Creme Eyeshadow. 

On Camera you can't see (on the right) the purple flecks but in real life and in low light it's visible. (Refer to the image below)

Pros: 

• Longlasting (without a primer) 
• Buildable Colour
• Can be doubled up as a gel liner
• Compact and Small
• Great Consistancy on the Creme Eyeshadow

Cons:

• Will crease without primer (but you would always apply primer for the best results for any eyeshadow)
• Creme Eyeshadow - feels a bit oily on application
• Loose pigments are a bit difficult to dispense
• Not a fan of Loose Pigments and how they get everywhere

Overall, I'm somewhat satisfied with this product, I don't find it to be much of a great use for me because it's not my type of colour. I adore Australis products in general but along the way I've found many that have impressed me and some that haven't so far, this just merely impressed me. This duo is widely available wherever Australis is sold (Priceline, Big W, Target etc) and retails for a mere $9.95AU. 

Don't forget to enter my favourites giveaway on the top right hand corner or (here) and my John Frieda Giveaway (here)! Will be doing more Australis Reviews real soon after my hiatus!

Love, J
