Australis Paparazzi Perfect High Definition Blush review

Hey everyone!

I've still been testing all the products i ordered and this time I thought I might do a review on the Australis Paparazzi Perfect High Definition Blush. I heard some really good reviews on this particular blush so I thought I'd test it out myself. 

Australis says:
"Perfectly blended, multicoloured blush allows you to customise and create the exact shade you are desperate for! Formulated with light reflecting and balancing photochromatic pigments so that you look just as hot in photos as you do in the mirror! The pore-invisible technology blurs pores, fine lines and other imperfections leaving a perfectly flawless and glowing finish. Enriched with jojoba and grape seed oil to lock in skin moisture". 

I'm wasn't disappointed. 

I bought it in the colour Screen Siren which is a very pretty coral-pink colour that looks good with my skin tone. I'm quite pale and I recommend it for all pasties out there! It makes your skin glow and give you a bit of colour without looking overdone with bright pink circles on your face. It also comes in the colours Flash It, Shoot to Thrill and Poser.  

This blush is very pigmented - more than expected actually - and stays on my skin all day, providing its not a 35 degree Celsius day (but then I wouldn't even bother wearing any makeup!). 

But watch out! You only need to swirl the brush in lightly and tap any excess off before applying it otherwise you might be the one with two pink circles on your face! 

This is a very good blush for anyone, but especially people on a budget, and should be more expensive for the quality you're getting! You can purchase it from anywhere really. I bought mine from Priceline. I'll definitely be repurchasing. 

Talk to you later! :)

Face of Australia Mechanical Eyeliner in Gold - Review

Hey everyone!

So a few weeks ago my box of goodies came and in there was my gold Face of Australia Mechanical Eyeliner.

At first glance I thought it was alright - the packaging was simple and nothing fancy, but then again I wasn't expecting anything more. However, the VERY FIRST TIME I opened it, the eyeliner came flying out of the plastic and landed on the floor! So I had the eyeliner part of it in one hand and the plastic packaging in the other. Was very dissapointed with how poorly made it was. After temporarily succeeding in putting it back in, I tested out the colour. Now, I chose gold because I'm trying my hand at Old Hollywood Glamour (:D) but after swatching this product I found that it was less of a gold and more of a pale, mustardy yellow, and you needed 5 or 6 swipes for it to actually do anything worthwhile. I ended up using it as an inner-corner highlight until the 4th day I had it and the eyeliner stick snapped in half! I threw it out after that - wasn't worth the hassle.
I tried to like this product even after its dissapointing first impression but to no avail.

The moral of the story?? You get what you pay for. There are much better eyeliner products out there.

Did anyone else have similar problems?? Let me know your opinion of it.

Until next time :)
