Australis Double Decker Eyeshadows - Review + Swatches

Hey all, 

Before I picked these Double Decker shadow's up, I had often seen them at Priceline and thought that they looked like a bundle of fun! I get a big kick out of novelty of any sort, and these definitely piqued my interest. What are they? They are eyeshadow duos with both a metallic cream shadow and a loose powder - all in one little compact!

Did they live up to my excited little expectations? Yes, they did!


The Shades
I picked up three gorgeous shades. All the shades have shimmer. 

Supernova Casanova - A gorgeous, deep-brown metallic. 
Greenhouse Effect - A deep olive green.
Give Me Some Space - Deep, dark purple. 

What I Love 
- Packed full of pigment. 
- Gorgeous  multi-dimensional shades to suit everyone. 
- The novelty is a bundle of fun! 
- Handy compact. 
- Long lasting when set with the loose powder.
- Very reasonably priced! 

What I Don't 
- The loose powder section of the compact can get quite messy. 
- The cream shadow cannot really be used by itself. 

Where to Buy: Priceline, Big W, K-Mart and Target

Price: $9.95

Loose Powder On Top
They absolutely transform when you apply the loose shadow on top, just like magic! I have placed a little dot of the loose powder by itself above each swatch.

How pretty are they? I have been creating a lot of metallic eye looks lately and will definitely head out to buy the rest of these babies. Like I mentioned before, you can only see their true beauty when you use the cream shadow and loose powder together - so if you are looking for standalone products, these may not be for you. 

Have you been enjoying metallics? Have you tried these? 

Hope you all have a great night! xx
