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.
I have the matte one, but the other one I can't find! I'm going to have to look harder!
