Australis' Lash Length Extension Mascara Review

HI!
I hope you've all been well............
My gosh. It's been far too long... I haven't had internet for over two months and have moved houses and had internet installed a few days ago *phew.

Okay well, being a typical asian girl.... I have... absoluuuteely non-existent eyelashes. One of the first things that I always notice about people are their eyelashes.............. being a creep always admiring and complimenting how amazing their eyelashes are. It's so sad that mine are short, stubby and you can't do anything with it! 

I have always found mascara to be a pain to use! On many occasions when I use to wear mascara in the past - I'd stroke the mascara on my teensy lashes, put on my glasses to find out that the mascara hasn't tried yet and it has streaked all over my lenses...

Oh and I can't ever forget always getting home at the end of the day and looking in the mirror and seeing black smears around my eyes either because the mascara just didn't dry in time or I have my annoying habit of rubbing my eyes... Sigh, did I really prance around all day with all that?

Well, I've been fortunate to try out Australis' new range of mascaras! Skimming through the pamphlet, I was so surprised! It was incredible! They have covered a mascara for EVERY preference! Whether you wanted thicker, lengthened, voluminous, curvier or you just want to plain ol' condition your lashes-- they have it!!


Going over the information for each one --I knew straight away that the 'Lash Length Extension Mascara was definitely for me!



So running to my mirror I unpackaged the Lash Lengths Extension Mascara..... I prepped up my hair, curled my lashes and did a few strokes covering each and every one.


After applying the mascara:
Oh look at my little cute subtle curls!
(This is the best I can get... really. Yes it is sad... which is why I live off lashes)

I don't know if it's just me, but every time I curl my lashes and apply mascara... It does absolutely nothing for me! In less than 30 minutes it will go back down to it's normal state... So I was crossing my fingers throughout the day hoping that it wouldn't be the same for this mascara.... the description sure looks promising!

Australis' description of this product:
What is it 
A lengthening mascara that works to lengthen lashes with fibres that attatch themselves to the lids of the lashes. It is so lightweight you'll feel like you are not wearing any mascara at all!
Why we love it 
Creates long, defined and separated lashes in an instant. Contains easy wash-off tubing formulation for no 'panda eyes'


7 hours later...
Not bad!!! (I know. I took a picture of the wrong eye. But you get the gist!)

And you know what's the best thing about this mascara? 
Compared to other mascaras I've used, I always ended up with smears below my waterline but the mascara applies as if it wraps around your lashes so it comes off as 'tubes'. There is absolutely no tugging or pulling, all I do is just dab makeup remover on a cotton pad and with a bit of pressure, wipe it across my eyelashes!

Little tubes^ How adorable!

Why I love it:
- Lengthens my lashes
- Amazing formula makes it easy to remove
- Absolutely no panda eyes

My verdict:
I think this product is awesome! It does every single thing it says it'll do, it lengthened and it kept my little curls in place too! And the best thing of course, it's super simple to remove with the 'tubing' formula and all!

Pricing and Available at:
BigW, Target and Priceline
@ $11.95

If you wanted to check it out, right now Priceline is having a buy three for the price of two on Australis products. Ohhh, don't you love bargains!


I hope you've enjoyed this review!
Au reviour!

Drugstore Flakie - Australis 'Speck-tacular' Swatches on top of 'Blackmail'

Hi!
You would have not been able to imagine how excited I was once I had known that Australis has come out with these flakies!
I've always wanted a flakie every since seeing the Inglot ones being sold at IMATS and now there's a flakie under $10 at any leading retail store I walk into!

Strengthening top coat with holographic reflective flakes! Ohhh, so many goodies in one! 

Flakies look 100% better against a dark background, I will be using Australis' 'Blackmail'.


Top: Australis Flakie in Speck-tacular
Bottom: Australis Nail Polish in Blackmail 

Both nail polishes have the same brushes
I've used Australis nail polishes before and compared to Blackmail, it is very different to the consistency of my first two Australis nailpolishes.. It was not runny, has average drying time and has the right consistency.

Two coats of 'Blackmail'

The Australis flakie is not only gorgeous but it serves with a topcoat and strengthens nails too!
 (Well we'll just have to see about the strengthening bit...)

Brush for the flakie, look at those pretty little specks!

2 layers of Speck-tacular on my nails on top of Blackmail!

And 3 days later...
The Speck-tacular top coat is holding up pretty well!
'Speck-tacular on top of 'Blackmail'
Left to Right: 'Blackmail' alone, 1 layer of 'Speck-tacular', 2 layers of 'Speck-tacular'

Gorgeous isn't it? I would like if the specks were a teensy bit bigger though!
I would love if Australis from this point, were to create more unique nail polishes that no other drugstore brand has, like holographics, magnetic and super super glittery ones! 


Available at:
Leading retailers and pharmacies (Big W, Priceline, Target, etc)

Price:
RRP $8.99

Australis Paparazzi Perfect High Definition Blush in 'Flash It': Swatches and Review

Hi!

I recieved an Australis blush in 'Shoot to Thrill' from ABBW but I thought it was a bit too pink for me... But it applied perfectly! It had such a smooth buttery feel!
Since receiving the blush from ABBW I had slowly grown fond of their brand. I never really noticed them, and their image has changed dramatically! I remember they use to have a logo of a little sun... I think their new image suits them and their products so much better!
So when I saw Flash It at Priceline and swatched it.... I was absolutely madly in love!!!!!!
I was a bit hesitant on the pink but once the blushes are mixed together, it turns into such a beautiful shade!

I was contemplating between Flash it and Poser which were both gorgeous but settled for Flash it since it could produce so many shades of my ideal blush!

It comes in plastic snap case packaging with a mirror.
I think it's the perfect size for a blush especially since it has 4 types in it!

 Isn't it pretty!! I looks like the prettiest speckled dinosaur egg!



I've decided to label the shades to make it simplier and show you which colours I mixed to achieve the following shades.



Swatches:

 Single swatches of 1, 2, 3 and 4 in their correct order
w/o flash
 with flash

Arm swatch

They don't really show up on their own..

Now this is the awesome part!

All those three swatches below were made from just swirling a couple of the shades together!
Isn't that awesome?

Left: w/o flash & Right: with flash
 Swatch 1: Mixing blushes 1 & 4
Swatch 2: Mixing blushes 2 & 3
Swatch 3: Mixing 1, 2 & 4

My favourite one is the third swatch! It looks coral-bronze with a slight shimmer!
I usually don't like shimmer in my blushes but I think this is gorgeous! 

I'm wearing swatch 3 below:
I don't think you can see it very well :(

What they say: 
What is it Perfectly blended multi-coloured blush that allows for customised shades to suit any complexion. Formulated with light reflecting and balancing photochromatic pigments that assist to create instant camera ready photos. Pigment is high in Mica content providing intense colour payoff. The blush is enriched with Jojoba and Grape seed oil to lock in skin moisture and soothe the skin.

Why we love it A smooth feel with intense colour payoff that provides an instant glow that highlights and contours cheeks. The marbled effect allows shades to be customised to suit individual complexion.


 Pros
Packaging
Easy to blend as it's super smooth
Pigmented

Cons
Might be too shimmery if you apply too much!

Notes
I love this blush! But since half the blushes have shimmer in them it is likely that you would pick up too much shimmer, so that was one thing I had to be cautious about!

Product: 4.5/5
Packaging: 5/5
Quality: 4.5/5
Price: 
Priceline, Big W and other leading retailers @ $12.95
Priceline usually has a buy 3 for 2 on Australis products so keep an eye out on those!

Would I recommend this product?
Yes! I think this blush would suit many skin tones and it's really easy to blend.
It's also awesome as you can use the lighter shades as a highlight!

Would I repurchase?
Yes! I still want Poser...



Thank you for reading and I hope this review has helped ☺!
Bye!
