Australis Nudist Palette - Review + Swatches

Hey all, 

Although I love my brighter shades, I have to admit that I am a sucker for a neutral/natural eye. I am a big 'bright lip' girl and nude eyes work a treat for toning down a bright lip shade. Also, you can pair them with anything and wear them to any event.

Three cheers for versatility! 

I saw this palette on Sweetaholic Beauty a while ago, and just had to run out and find it. I am very glad that I did! 

Shades

8 gorgeous neutral shades, ranging from light to dark. All shades have slight shimmer. 

A closer look at the shades from left-right. 

What I Love

- Such a versatile palette, with a great range of neutral shades. 

- Highly pigmented shadows. 

- Creamy, smooth and easy to apply. 

- Long lasting, especially when paired with a primer. 

- Compact, stylish packaging. 

- Great price!

What I Don't

- Doesn't contain any matte shades - wish it had at least one or two. 

- It was pretty hard for me to track down, and I am pretty sure that it is limited edition. 

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

Price: I am pretty sure it was $12, correct me if I am wrong!

With Flash

This is definitely a palette that I have been reaching for a lot lately! I love the combination of shades, even though there aren't any mattes; and have found that it's easy to create plenty of looks with a palette this versatile. 

Universally flattering, and all up a wonderful drugstore neutral palette! 

Hope you all have a great night! xx

On My Lips: Australis Colour Inject in Boogie Woogie

Hey all, 

Yet another new favourite lippie of mine! I have been discovering so many gorgeous new shades lately, that I am going to have to try my hardest not the overload you all! If I start rambling on about lip colour too much, feel free to tell me to shut the hell up be quiet. 

A couple of weeks before I picked this baby up I won Hula in a competition and absolutely adored the formula; so when Priceline had a sale I just had to take advantage of it. I picked up four, Boogie Woogie being one of them. And I have to say, it is my favourite of the lot!

Shade: A gorgeous muted nude-pink. Would work with any skin tone. 

What I Love 

- The formula is divine - creamy, moisturising and highly pigmented. 

- I know I just mentioned pigment, but it most definitely has one swipe colour! 

- Relatively long lasting - around 4 hours without eating or drinking. 

- Gorgeous range of shades. 

- Sleek packaging. 

- Although I can't put my finger on what it is, it has a nice smell. 

Where to Buy: Priceline, Target, Big W and Selected Pharmacies. 

Price: $12.95

On My Lips

This is definitely a great everyday nude-pink that works wonderfully with all make up looks. Such a gorgeous shade, and a wonderfully formulated - especially for the price! I think you would all love it, so definitely head out to check it out!

On My Nails: Essie Topless & Barefoot

Hey all, 

I am mostly a fan of darker and brighter shades of polish for my nails, and always have been. But lately, I have noticed myself leaning towards lighter, softer, more muted shades. I honestly have no idea why, but for now, I am just going to go with it!

On my nails at the moment: Topless & Barefoot by Essie

It's an absolutely gorgeous, pink, muted nude, that reminds me of going to the beach on long summer days. I absolutely adore Essie's formulation as well; it goes on smoothly, is long lasting, chip resistant and free of the nasty chemicals!

Do you prefer brighter, darker or soft shades for your nails?

Hope you all have a great night! xx
