February saw 8 brand spanking new on trend nail colour shades adding to the existing Australis nail colour collection.  These colours are shiny, intensely pigmented and application is creamy and streak free. I have mix up the swatches a little and grouped the shades together; surprisingly they match each other really well.
What do you think?

Australis – Face-a-holic  RRP AUD$19.95
This multi use palette comes in a massive jumbo size that is guaranteed to last for a very long time. Your blush, pressed powder and bronzer will be covered in a nifty palette all in one.
Australis – Lip Travel Case  RRP AUD$14.95
Great for those who love their lip glosses and the handy case keeps all the glosses in place.
Haven’t tried many Australis nail colour. Suffice to say, I am loving the colour intensity of these nail polishes and the streak free application. Especially #Peek a Boo, such a gorgeous, expensive looking colour! I also love #Here Today Gone Tomorrow dark green intensity with a high glossy finish.

I used to swear off glosses but I’m on a roll lately. I guess gloss technology these days has improved vastly and is no longer overtly sticky, translucent or grossly scented. Australis is a local brand that continues to impress me with their makeup products. Lately, they have launched the Mint Condition Lip Gloss collection featuring 7 shades (I have 6 of them as pictured above).
As the name would indicate, these glosses are minty in scent and refreshing when applied on the lips. Pigment wise they are quite sheer to medium. They are also filled with lips conditioning ingredients like Guava, Kakadu Plum extracts, Shea Butter and Beeswax. Best of all, they contain SPF30 providing great sun protection for the delicate lips area.

Left to Right: #Necessary Accessary, #Love me, Leave Me
Australis has recently released quite a few impressive makeup products (paparazzi foundation, concealer, blush) and now Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick that are easy to apply, high shine and doesn’t dry on lips.
#Love me, Leave me
A plum colour that looks rich on the lipstick but quite wearable on the lips.
#Necessary Accessory
A coraly red colour that compliments and brightens any skintone!
Say hello to Australis’ Show Stopper Gloss Sticks (very similar to Clinique’s Chubby Sticks), these babies comes in the best imaginable shades a lip colour should come with. Retailing for AUD $12.95 each, they are extremely affordable and easy to use.
There are 3 shades available. Top to bottom: #Fairy Floss, #Fireworks, #Hoola Hoop
Left to right: #Fireworks, #Hoola Hoop, #Fairy Floss
These semi stain pigments gloss sticks, are true to colour in their packaging, glides onto the lips effortlessly and has a slight gloss finish. Perfect for those who are not big on lipstick but wants a punch of colour that is long lasting and compliments their skintone. My personal favourite is #Hoola Hoop, this shade is universal and will compliment everyone.
The Show Stopper Gloss Sticks doesn’t dry on the lips like most lipstick do. That alone is a winner for me!
Australis Paparazzi Perfect – Concealer & Brightener
RRP AUD$11.95 each
Introducing two new products to the Paparazzi range, the concealer and brightener both comes in a little tube that is creamy and is easy to blend. Personally, I find the concealer is best used for the eye area as it balances the discolouration around my eye area better than say a acne. The coverage is medium and is a long lasting formula. On the other hand, the brightener is great as an overall product to brighten dull area. Occasionally, I’d mix some brightener with my foundation for that overall brighten look. Both products are SUPER affordable for its price. Total steal!
Jurlique – Hand Sanitiser
RRP AUD$10 (50ml), $19 (175ml)
I am no fan of hand sanitisers until I came across Jurlique’s. Comes in a small travel friendly 50ml and a desk friendly 175 ml, these sanitisers effectively eliminates bacteria and moisturises hand leaving it silky and smooth. It doesn’t dry my hands out like so many other hand sanitisers do in the market and doesn’t stink like alcohol. It’s high time that hand sanitisers can smell good and does the job step into the market to take out the crappy ones that we’re constantly bombarded with.
My Face Works – Facial Cloth Mask
RRP AUD$67 (a box of 6 masks)
Made with 100% biodegradable silk, this sheet mask is lightweight and more transparent which helps absorption of the serum into the skin. Comes in a huge range that targets sensitive skin, acnes, pre-makeup express pamper, detox, anti-wrinkles, intense hydration, brightening, eye area and so on. The ones targeted for acne, pre makeup express pamper and intense hydration is IMPORTANT to have on hand for beauty emergencies. They are now available here online.
St Tropez – Skin Illuminator
RRP AUD$29.95
New St Tropez illuminator collection comes in Rose, Gold and the original Violet. These are essential beauty must-have and my favourite is Violet, perfect for all skin tones. Great for cheekbones, decolletage, tops of arms and shines for luminous skin. I mix them with my foundation! It finishes skin with a gorgeous iridescent sheen. Word on the street is that Jennifer Aniston uses St Tropez Skin Illuminator as well!
