Australis AC ON TOUR palette + Swatches

Hey guys!

So I finally got my hands on the Australis AC on tour palette. This palette is $16.95 from price line or Big W and is a supposed dupe to the Anatasia Beverly Hills palette.

The palette contains 6 powder shades for contouring and highlighting.

The top row contains:

- a matte skin coloured powder with a slight pink undertone. 

- a matte yellow powder

- a shimmery champagne highlighter 

The bottom row of the palette contains:

- a neutralish matte brown shadow

- a cool toned matte brown shadow
- a warm red toned matte brown shadow

A guide on the back for the placement of the powders.

All of the powders are really pigmented and glide onto the skin really easily. With a tiny bit on your brush they blend out lots and nicely buff into the skin. 

To use this palette i would firstly 

- set my foundation using the matte skin coloured powder top left in the palette. 

- I would then go in with the matte yellow powder mixed with the skin coloured powder to set my concealer along with brightening up my under eyes. 

- I would then use the highlighter shade top right in the palette, on the top of my cheekbones and if i felt like it on my nose, chin and forehead. This shade also looks beautiful all of the eyelid, inner corner and as a brow bone highlight- a very versatile shade!

- The bottom middle shade is a very cool toned brown perfect for pale people to contour with. I would take this shade and contour underneath my cheekbones with it.  This is also a great shade to put in your crease to add some demension to your eyes! 

- To finish the look i would mix the last two brown powders together to create a warmish brown and sweep that over my contour and up onto my forehead to slightly warm and bronze up the face. 

A comparison of the palette to the Australis fresh and flawless powder to show size! 

I really like this palette from my first impressions! For just $16.95 i can't see you going wrong in picking this up. I love how its nice and compacted in the palette which makes it perfect for travelling. I also love how it can be used for multipurpose on the face or a really nice eye look! I can definailty see this becoming a staple in my collection!

Have you picked up this palette yet? What are your impressions on it!

May Favourites!

1. Mac Prolong Concealer in NC15: This concealer is am-ma-zing! Our first try of this we pumped one little pump onto the back of our hand only to realise that we could cover like 3 entire faces with the amount we got- a little goes a long way! It is so long wearing and i even find it difficult getting it of as it lasts forever and doesn't crease. The only thing i don't like is the packaging as it is really hard to get a tiny bit out and you end up wasting lots. But this has defiantly been a favourite this month!

2. Rimmel Translucent powder: As my skin hasn't been as bad as it has been I've been reaching for this translucent powder over my beloved Australis Fresh and Flawless powder to set my foundation. I feel its a little bit more lighter and it sets my foundation and under eye concealer amazingly! It makes me makeup last all day without looking cakey

3. NYX Soft matte lip cream in Antwerp: This has become an autumn favourite of mine. It is the most beautiful coral shade with a slight red colour. Been wearing it like crazy! Also the smell of these are so good- like vanilla cake batter.

4. Chaptick Mixstix in Lemon Berry Sorbet: I could just eat this stick it tastes amazing. I love the waxy formula as i find it lasts on my lips so much more as its nice and thick and moisturising on the lips. Its great how its double ended so you can mix it up but save space in your makeup bag.

5. Ibeauty Cosmetics eyeshadow palette: This was a custom made eyeshadow palette bought from here.  I have the shades from the top L-R: Polar, Barley There, Tickled Pink, Stardust. Bottom Row L-R: Coco, Black Widow, Dusk and Mischief. The eyeshadows are really pigmented and great to create a natural or smokey eye. The eyeshadows are only $3 each as well so i think there great! My purchase also came with 4 free mini samples as shown below but i can't remember the names of them- whoops!

6. Nude by Nature Kabuki Brush: I have had this brush for about 3 years and it is my go to brush for applying powder to face. Its so dense and creates a great flawless base. Its lasted through numerous washes and just applies and picks up product effortlessly.

7. Benefit Highbeam: So pigmented and gives the most amazing glow to the face. A little goes a long way so we just place three little dots on each cheek and blend it out. I also use this as an eyeshadow (yay for for multipurpose)!

8. Australis Lipliner in Tickled Pink: A really natural lipliner with a touch of pink! Great for a everyday look as i line my lips and blend it in creating the illusion my lips are a touch bigger. I do wish it was a little more creamy though as it has a very waxy formula but i just love the colour it gives to my lips.

Hope you enjoyed our May Favourites! What products have you been loving this month?
