Australis Haul Review.
So i'd been eyeing up the Australis' Velour Lips & Metallix eyeshadow collections for quite some time now and finally made a purchase last fortnight! Here's what I think:

Metallix Eyeshadows
After seeing a rave review about these shadows, I had to try them out! They looked so intense and beautiful and for those that know me well, I have a bit of an obsession with anything that glitters or shimmers.In the past, i've had problems with cream shadows where they have been really inconsistent when it comes to application and it really annoyed the hell out me but that wasn't the case with these shadows. These shadows really are as intense as they look and I'm so over the moon about it! They are super creamy with a great colour pay off and they just glide right onto the eyes with perfect consistency. I am in love!
I picked up these shadows in every shade except Lana Del Grey, which was a lilac grey colour that I did not think that I would wear very often. It is still quite lovely if you want to look it up though.

Pearl Jammin'
 |
Pearl Jammin' is (as you guessed) a pearl colour. It's really light and close to a silver shade with the tiniest touch of a pale pink.
 |
Guns and Rose Petals
 |
Guns and Rose Petals is meant to be a rose gold shade but it looks like it should have it's title switched with Gold Gaga because when swatched it comes out far more gold that the latter. It also looks more like gold in the pot too.

Gold Gaga
 |
Now if you look closely at Gold Gaga, it appears to be more of a bronze/rose gold like colour as opposed to gold. But regardless, I still think that both Guns and Rose Petals and Gold Gaga are beautiful.
 |
Jay Zed
 |
This shade along with Plum Diddy are my current favourites! Jay Zed is a khaki brown and a shade that I had never really tried before. I love how much it compliments my skin tone though.
 |
Plum Diddy
 |
My other favourite shade from this collection is a brown plum shade. This shade is the most intense of all the Metallix colours.
 |
Velourlips Matte Creme
I originally wanted to buy so many shades from this collection but I decided to play it safe and only start with three. I picked Shang-hi, Bar-tha-lona and Mi-a-mee. All of these shades had an intense colour payoff and i'll let the swatches show you the rest. |

Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchase as all products from Australis are a real bargain for what they are. Let me know what you think and if you have or are considering picking up any of these products as i'd love to hear what you think of them too. Or if you have any recommendations of other similar products you think I might like please leave a comment below as I'd love to check them out!
Thanks and take care guys.
