Australis Matte Bronze Eyed Girl and Those Shmokin' Eyes Palette Review

Australis have recently came out with 2 new palettes, the Matte Bronze Eyed Girl, which is a neutral palette and the Those Shmokin' Eyes Palette, which as you can guess is for a smokey eye. Both palettes are Exclusive to Big W and Kmart and can be bought off the Australis website here.

I did purchase these products during my no-buy as Australis is a cruelty free brand - And I quite like their products and always get excited with new releases.

Both palettes are the exact same size as the Contour Palette, but they come with a mirror. So they are great for travelling.

Lets start off with the Matte palette...

As you can probably already tell by the name of this palette, it is a fully matte palette. With no hints of glitter or anything. This palette really reminds me of the AC ON TOUR palette (review to come) as the shades can be quite similar, especially with the middle shade on the top row, that is very similar to the banana powder.

As for the shadows, they come off as a bit chalky, but its nothing too bad I've had worse. They are insanely creamy and easy to blend but do take a while to build up the product to become fully opaque. I have been using this palette quite a lot recently and it will be in my monthly favourites.

As for the smokey eyes palette, I think I prefer this over the mattes. mainly because you don't have to build up the opacity, only for the 3 (well 4, but no one builds up a nude colour until its the shade in the pan, lets be real) matte shades in the palette. But i think its easier to build with these shades for some reason.

This palette comes with 4 mattes and 2 shimmers. The shimmery shades don't have much fall out and they are very opaque, the photos shown were only done with one swatch.

I honestly prefer this palette out of the two.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder Review

After hearing tons of people rave about this product, I decided I'd jump on the band wagon and try this powder out.

To be honest at first I didn't see what all the hype was about. I mean, its just a powder, whats so good about it? But its actually quite a good powder.

Its a really lightweight powder which is good for day wear.

Its super buildable but it can become cakey if you apply too much.

It doesn't crease or fade during the day.

Its perfect for travelling and using in your handbag as you can add a powder sponge in the lid and you're pretty much good to go and it doesn't take up much room.

Would I repurchase? Maybe. I much prefer loose powders so it depends.

Maybelline Baby Skin Review

Its been a while since this product hit our shelves, and I know I have done a review on this but my opinions have changed. But after using it for a month straight, I'm ready to give you my full opinions on it.

This primer is a pore eraser, meaning it claims to fill in all your pores and make your skin appear poreless. And I must agree on this as it hides many pores of mine and makes my skin look flawless before applying my foundation.

It has no scent like most primers which is great.

It contains alot of product, compared to other Maybelline primers (There are only 2 primers on Australian shelves) - it contains 20ml

It doesn't make my foundation fade during the day, infact I think it helps the lasting power. And staying on the topic of foundation, it really does help the application of the foundation which is good.

Would I repurchase this? Yes I would I love this primer and think it is worth the money even though its like above $15

No more Bellabox

As of Thursday I have cancelled my subscription to Bellabox. I honestly don't think its worth the money when all you get are shit sized samples that 99% of the time don't suit your needs in the requirement form you fill out when you first register.

Like seriously mine says I have OILY SKIN, OILY HAIR and I generally get things which are the opposite, most of the time for dry skin.

And I don't know if they are just slack or don't give a shit about the profiles, but I think the profile is what defines the box. And makes your box unique.

Also, their customer service team CURRENTLY AS OF OCTOBER 2015 is, just crap

**EDIT THEY JUST EMAILED ME AN ITS ALMOST 5PM ON SUNDAY.

I sent them an email on Tuesday regarding the fact I hadn't recieved my Coastal Scents item, and the longest I have had to wait to hear back from them is usually 2 working days. Its been 4 and I haven't hear back from them and to be honest, I've given up hope!

I feel like I'm wasting my time on these boxes and (My d key is being real sticky so sorry if it doesnt appear.) not to mention money.

I can only think of 3 good things I've ever got from them in the past 3 years of being a member, and thats a magazine, a razor and a gorgeous lipstick from OMShe.

I am currently debating subscribing with Lust Have It. - Have any of you had any experience with them RECENTLY as I know in the past they have been total crap but have apparently improved their service, but they haven't improve customer service as I've been waiting 2 weeks to hear back from their affiliate manager (who has said yes to me being an affiliate, she just hasnt emailed me back) and as a beauty blogger, shit like this frustrates me.

So yeah. We'll see what happens.

Any other boxes I should try?
