First Impression - Australis

Hello there, I've been blogging constantly for a while HOLLA! 

As I mentioned in a previous post I had heard lots of wonderful things about Australis and I thought I should go and check out some of the products. I thought I would do this differently and create a look using all Australis products (unless of course I did not purchase those, you can see what I purchased here). 


 As you can see almost everyone of these products is Australis, except for what I used on my eyes. 


Ignore wet hair!



The all over face and body tint by Australis is super watery! I thought this would be something that would be nice to put on as a simple cover maybe day-to-day wear. However, I found this to be too watery and would just streak all over my face. I also found that it was unable to be built. 


I found that this bronzer left my skin looking muddy instead of sunkissed. This could be my fault as my brushes were a little dirty when I was trying this look. I will not give up on it just yet as I really enjoyed the look of it when swatching in store!
For some reason I did not take a photo of the blush.. But I actually really liked the way the blush looked on my face and I would definitely recommend it! 

One my eyes I used; Naked 2 and Faint


I found the Megalash mascara very similar to the Falsies by Maybelline and I have come to love that mascara. I found this mascara watery and easy to apply with mishaps being easily wiped away! 


This lipgloss was amazing! I love the colour and the texture and the way it felt on my lips and the way it stayed on my lips just ugh! I just loved it! 

Overall, I did enjoy this brand and would recommend purchasing some of the products! Although this is just my opinion so please test it out for yourself!

First Impression

Good afternoon (: 

Last Sunday I decided to take a trip to priceline to purchase a few things I needed. I had heard some wonderful things about the Rimmel - Wake Me Up foundation and I thought it would be an awesome idea to do a first impression blog with the foundation. While I was there I also picked myself up Maybelline New York's The Falseies mascara and by reading the blurb about it I thought I could include that too. 

I applied each at 10:30am and left it on for a good 5 hours to give it the ultimate test. 


When I applied this foundation it went on really well and it gave me the coverage on my skin that I really enjoy. I also found that it felt really nice on my skin and I didn't even think I had it on for most of the day. 

1:30 After wearing it for 3 hours doing errands and taking some photos for you guys, I found that it still had nice coverage from my cheeks down but I felt like it had come off my forehead and I really think that's because I actually sweat a lot when setting up my camera that morning. 

3:30 After 5 hours I didn't have anywhere else to go and I felt like it was time for me to take my make-up off. I found that it still felt like I had coverage everywhere bar my forehead. It was also super simple to take off! 

Sorry about the nasty photo! Lighting was being awful to me!
I found this mascara to be super watery which meant I had trouble putting it on as I found it just went everywhere. However once you get a technique you are pretty fine to apply. It also looked super good when I put it on, made my eyelashes look amazing!

Left: Without, Right:  Maybelline - The Falises



1:30 This product still looked quiet nice on, but I found that bits and pieces would fall off all over your face and it just looked nasty. However if you did notice this it was super simple to just get a tissue and wipe off. 

3:30 I feel the same about this product that it didn't really come off during the day however you did have big nasty like black bits fall onto your face but that was about it. I actually found this really hard to come off. With most of my other mascara's I could use my make-up wipes and some warm water and I would be fine. This I actually had to pull out my eye make-up remover! 

If you like this comment down below what you would like me to try/talk about on here (:
