If you follow me on Instagram, then you would of seen that a couple days ago I brought these Face of Australia Duo's for $9.95 each from Priceline. I got suckered in by the packaging. Now I wish I hadn't.

I was looking more for Retail Blushes and Contours as I really don't own many from Retail lines.

I have like one Revlon Blush, and an Australis and Revlon Highlighter. That's it.

When I seen these, I loved the packaging, and the colours looked great in the pan.

The pink one, was a pink I wouldn't normally choose, and I brought the contour as I normally just don't contour but I want to start trying it again.

Out of the two, I am really disappointed in this duo.

Personally, with my skin colour, there isn't much colour pay off.

I was really not happy. The formulation is great, it is very smooth, and doesn't smell weird or overly potent, but I am extremely not happy about the colour.

I think this one would be better with fairer skin tones. Not tan or dark.

Contour and Highlight Kit

Leopardess is a lot better than Minx.

Not overly pigmentented but a lot better than the blush and highlight duo.

This is perfect for the beginner who is learning contour or just for a light contour.

With the highlight, I love it! The highlight in Leopardess almost compensates for the lack of pigmentation in both of the duo's. So smooth in application, and reflects light very well. I am really happy with the Leopardess Duo.

 

So lets start with the eyeshadow palette!

I adore this palette! Although the colours are limited, it is a great neautral palette that works for both day and night looks! :) And this palette comes with Shimmers and Matte's which is such a great idea for artists. The colours are highly pigmented, and work very well! Most colours are easily blend-able, but a few (mainly Black) that are great colours but take a lot of time an effort to blend. Not the best, but it is simply fixed by just patting the colour on with your finger.

 

 

 

 

Secondly this is the blush palette.

This is my second favourite product that I have ever brought from Paint Box Cosmetics!

This palette has two creme blushes and four powder (left four).

The colour sit well in the face and a super pigmented. So use a little for a light coverage, or a lot for a super heavy look! So great for burlesque looks!

The creme blushes have a night highlighted nature to them, and making the skin look radiant and youthful. The top left one is such a beautiful blush, a nice marbled pink and shimmer blush!

 

This is one of my new Blushes that I brought myself just before Christmas.

I was very reluctant to buy it as I don't use cream or mousse blushes very often/at all.

But I was very happy with this product.

 

The colour is a nice peachy colour, and it is very easy to blend.

WARNING - You only need a small amount to get a full colour!

 

The best part about Mousse Blush is that you don't get a very dry look after application as apposed to a powder blush. The colour sits better on the skin and has more of a natural appeal.

 

I find that the peach colour suits most skin types, considering I have used this on myself (tan skin) and patched a bit on my step-daughters skin (ivory toned)!

 

I would recommend this blush to anyone that was looking for a very vesatile blush :)

I was taking a bit of a stroll on Facebook, and noticed that BH Cosmetics has a new blush palette out! This is it above. I'm considering buying one as I have has an obsession with blush lately :)

So you MAY see this being reviewed by me sometime soon :)
