Australis Paparazzi Perfect Eyeshadow- Review and Swatches

When I was a teen, I am not going to lie I owned many Australis eyeshadow palettes, I used to throw caution (and style) to the wind and experiment with many different colours (sometimes all at once). Let me tell you Australis new Paparazzi range is all grown up kind of glamour. Never to shy away from a photo or 2 being taken and having my perfect pose down pat I know just how important it is to have your makeup photo perfect. 

The palette which was my clear favourite as it suits my skin tones better is called Totally Busted- Australis Paparazzi Perfect Eyeshadow- $15.95.  I love these colours, there is so much fun to be had to mix up with different looks. What I do really love though is the pigments are really strong to give you bold colours. 

Below are swatches on my arm...(try to ignore just how pasty I am...)

 As you can see there are colours from a nice light silver to a dark charcoal and a light peach to a dark pink.

The compacts come with a mirror love that and no annoying brushes that you will never use!

 Simple, stylish and perfect.

You can find these palettes and the rest of the Paparazzi Perfect range: At Priceline, Big W, Target, Kmart and selected chemists.

What do you think?

Did you have a love affair with Australis eyeshadow palettes when you were young?

New LIMITED Edition NARS!!

NARS is such an amazing makeup brand. Whenever I am using it, I feel confident, sexy and right on trend. 

"Inspired by ancient river mouths, the most famous of which is found in the Massif des Calanques in the Bouches-du-Rhône region of France."

This amazing little eyeshadow palette is divine. When you first inspect it, the 3 colours are each so different. The first colour on the left is a caramel colour with gold flecks which is really subtle, great to use to wash over the entire eyelid over the other colours and to soften the look. The middle colour which looks really matte but on the skin it really subtly metallic which I love. The last colour is so highly pigmented which means you only need a tiny amount and with the dark brown colour comes gold flecks through it. 


Gosh this palette is so divine it is really endless the options you can create with it. 

This is available through Mecca Cosmetica.

The New Blue Eyeshadow...

If you think blue eyeshadow was just a trend of the 80's then think again...
Just as much as I love to experiment with different colours on my nails, I love to experiment with different eyeshadows.
I was given this beautiful Arbonne Blue Eye Shadow called Blue Slate and had been dying to use it.

What I love about this colour is that it is illuminous. It has a subtle shimmer which goes on beautifully.

The way I apply is by dabbing it on with a eyeshadow brush rather then rubbing it in. I like to take the colour up to just above the crease in my eye so you can see it when my eyes are open and closed. I also make the colour bolder on the outer half of my eye to accentuate my eye.

The colour is very long lasting I wore it to a party and it lasted perfectly all night.

I made sure I prepped my eyes first by applying my primer on freshly cleansed skin and then once the the primer had been able to seep in then I was able to apply my foundation and then I use translucent powder to set it.

Once I applied the eye shadow on top of my lid I took a thin slated eyeshadow brush and applied a thin line on my lower lash line from the middle of the lash line to the outer corner to blend in.

I then used a liquid liner in black from the middle top lash line to the outer corner making it thicker as I went along and this time I didn't wing it out as It would have been too much.

Then my look is done!

The eyeshadows cost: $26
