Australis Cosmetics Double Decker Shadow Duo

Its my fave eyeshadow i love cosmic rays which is a really pretty gold cream and shimmery light pink really pretty for summer and spring also great for a dramatic night out colour ,you can wear the cream by its self our with the powder i love using it both ways I would love to try other colours to but haven't gotten around to it yet it is my fave in expensive eyeshadow duo and oh so pretty.

I received this when it first came out in a girlfriend magazine. The packaging on this eyeshadow is quite neat it has a flip case which has the top half the creamy eyeshadow and the bottom half the glitterery eyeshadow. I have this in Cosmic Rays and when i received this eyeshadow I was not a huge fan of brown eyeshadow as I used to think it was to plain and loved experimented with color so I ended up tossing it aside. I have started to use it now as I have finally realised that Brown eyeshadows aren't that bad on your eyes. I have found that the pigmentation of the creamy and glittery shadows are amazing and you don't wanna be heavy handed as a little of this product goes a long way. I would definitely love to collect them all but sadly I think Australis have discontinued this product.

I received a free one of these a while ago. I haven't used it much, mainly because of the colour. I found it a little messy to use.. I guess because I'm not used to loose powder.

When I first saw these I was like wow they are so pretty and I just had to have one! So of course I fell for the colours/shades but when I got home I was like wait Im not sure how to use them. (which was prob my own fault for not actually sorting it out in store) But after some playing around and watching some youtube videos, I came to the conclusion that you can use em how ever you want! A multi purpose products.

i got given this in the shade of blue cream shadow and the silver pigment first off i am used to wearing neutrals on my eyes so blue isnt a very wearable colour for me but i did try it and the colour is amazing the reflects of the blue in the cream shadow really make it eyecatching but when i tried to put in on my eyelid it just looked horrible and it was really sticky and icky i couldnt pat it on with out it pulling my eyelid, i couldnt glide it over my eyelid without out it stretching my eye and making it really taut, not very impressive, next i tried the glitter, it was so nice so silky and reflective, i just put this right above my upper waterline and kind ombre'd it out, it looked really nice but the fall out wow it was terrible, and unfortunately the pigment didnt last very long so i was left with glittery under eyes and glitterless eyelids

I received this item in a magazine a while ago and never got around to experimenting with it until drecently. I don't have the most wearable one. It's in the shade Greenhouse Effect and the loose pigment is absoloutly beautiful! It's almost duso chromed with with gold and green flects. The cream eye shadow is black with gold flects but isn't very wearable for me personally so I just wear the silver duo chromed pigment over top of a neutral cream base and it lasts all day but does have some fall out.

I have this in the shade cosmic rays and It is really beautiful. The cream eyeshadow looks darker in the pan which put me off at first but when applied it goes this extremely wearable bronze colour which is so wearable, even just by itself. If put on by itself it does crease on my eyes, however it is fairly simple to blend back out, and with eye primer it doesn't do it. The loose powder on the bottom is so pretty, it's a lovely champagne colour. I find that putting on my finger and placing it on my inner corner or in the centre of my lid creates a really pretty effect. I like taking it travelling on weekends away as it is so compact and makes it so much easier than taking bulky palettes.

I really like the cream eye shadow on top of the duo, it is rich in colour and very pigmented. It goes on smooth and lasts well, it also doesn't crease and is reasonably easy to blend out (for a cream shadow that is). However I really don't like the loose shadow on the bottom of the duo. It gets everywhere, it is very messy and I find the quality not as good as the cream shadow on the top. The loose shadow is very shimmery and has fine glitter running throughout. Very impressed with the cream eye shadow on top but very underwhelmed with the loose eye shadow on the underside of the duo.

After hearing good things, i tried it finally. Nope - funnily enough I still hate loose powders. Messy, messy, messy and messy! Decent pigment but not worth it at all.

I quite enjoy this product. it is very cheap as i got it on nzsale for $3 so i though i would give it a go. I wasnt disappointed for the price i was actually suprised. I have 3 colours and i think they are all great, although the cream shadow could be a bit brighter as they are all really dark colours.
