Face of the day - 19th January

For foundation, I used Rimmel's Match Perfection in 200 Soft Beige. Sooo happy with this foundation. Medium but build-able coverage. This shade is so perfect for me too! I wanted this foundation after seeing Tanya Burr rave about it, and there is a story behind the purchase of this foundation! It was around $20 at Priceline and I was just about to purchase it, instead I went to Coles to see how much it would be there and it was around the same price. Luckly, my mum told me to have a look on the clearance table because she saw some makeup there, and there it was! The foundation for only $5! I was going to buy it regardless if it was my shade or not and oh my god... It's perfect for me! What a steal!

Concleaer I used is Mac's Pro Longwear in NW20. I just used this under my eyes and to cover the redness around my nose. Get concealer and defiantly worth the money! 

For brows, I've just recently purchased the Elf Brow Kit in Dark. I usually have trouble finding a good colour for my brows since they are close to black and this kit is perfect for mine! I brought this after seeing it in every single one of Shannon Harris' videos. So pleased.

Contour and bronze I used Laguna by Nars. Again, soooooo happy with this, defiantly worth the money and I will 100% repurchase when I touch pan. I brought this after seeing Lauren Curtis using this for her contour. Just the right amount of matte and shimmer. Perfect for a bronze glow and contour. 

Blush, I used Nars Orgasm. I honestly love this blush so much but I do think there are some really good dupes out there. But I would repurchase. Such a beautiful texture all Nars products are and honestly glide on like fairy dust! The gold in this blush gives the most gorgeous highlight on my cheeks. 

For mascara, I just purchased Maybelline's Colossal Volum Express, it was on sale for $10 at Coles. I wouldn't really agree with the statement that it says it will give you a cat eyed look with the mascara longing longer at the end. But it does give an all round fullness and length. 

Lastly, lipstick I'm wearing today is Mac's Creme Cup, although it does look a little more pink in this picture. It is just a perfect everyday colour!

Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lipsticks - Review

Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lipsticks

Before I start this review, I would just like to point out that the Australis brand is Australian owned. It does not ship anywhere else other than Australia. 

I am really impressed with these lipsticks, they are very creamy and highly pigmented. They have a beautiful colour range that suits everybody. They have around 20 different colours listed on their website.

Electro, Jive, Honky Tonk, Salsa, Lick The Icing

I buy all my lipsticks from Priceline. They are usually $12.95 AUD. But Australis/Priceline usually have sales so you can get them for cheaper. 

The colours I brought are Jive, Lick The Icing, Honky Tonk, Salsa and Electro.

This colour is Jive, its a dull purple colour. I purchased this lipstick online and I honestly wasn't sure of the colour. I didn't think I would like it, but the colour is now in my top 5 favourites. It's a beautiful wearable nudey purple and I personally think it looks lovely on people with more olive/darker skin tones. This colour also reminds me of Mac's Creme cup when swatched. It would be a good cheap dupe.

This colour is Salsa, it's a really cute pink. I also ordered this lipstick online. This colour hasn't really impressed me. I do love this colour though, but I own something similar. The colour is nicer in the tube than on the lips. I think if I had a choice, I wouldn't of purchased this colour. Although, this is a gorgeous colour and I think it would suit a large range of skin colours!

This colour is Electro. It's a really bright and bold orange colour. Although in the photo it looks flouro pink! I also purchased this colour online. I was really excited for this colour since I don't own many oranges. When I first got it, I swatched it on my hand and it wasn't really pigmented and a bit dull. But the second time I swatched it, it was so pigmented it was weird! I really do enjoy this colour, I think it's so beautiful! The perfect orange. 

This colour is Lick The Icing, it's a really bright lilac. When I first saw this colour in Priceline. I didn't really like it. It was such a weird and usual colour and it really isn't my type. My mum loved it though! This was kind of impulse buy, as I needed to buy one lipstick and get one for free, so I thought I'd give it a try and if I didn't like it I'd give it to mum. This colour has grown on me a lot though and I really like it now. I don't think it's an everyday colour but I'm sure people can pull it off! 

The best for last! This is Honky Tonk. This is the most perfect everyday colour! It's a peachy/coral/nude and it's just beautiful! This is the lipstick I brought full price to get Lick The Icing (above) for free. I'm so happy with this purchase. It's my staple everyday lip colour now, especially that is it summer! I just love this colour and I would recommend it to anyone as it looks gorgeous on any skin tone and anyone can pull it off.

I would highly recommend these lipsticks for anyone who lives in Australia. Like I said, all colours and highly pigmented and so creamy. They just glide on and do not drag your lip when applying, nor do they dry out your lips. Extremely highdrating also. These lipsticks are a good price and can be found in Kmart, Priceline and more big shops. 

I only have one problem with these lipsticks, it's not about the actual lipsticks, but while in store and online, I have noticed that the colour at the bottom of the tube or the little box next to the name online, is completely different to the true colours. All mine are fine but just some of them are completely different and it's very strange.

All up, great lipsticks with a great colour range. Hope to see new and different colours out in the new year. Also some creamy lip liners to match the lipsticks would be amazing!
