I'm so busy that I was considering not to post today, but 'Saturday's Swatches' is my favourite series to do! Simply because it's easy to whip up and I know it comes to be super helpful to you guys!
Last week's Saturday's Swatches, I've mentioned that I really wanted to post about Australis' Go Long Longwear Lipsticks, so here it is! ^_^
The newly released range contains 8 "semi-matte" shades which is described to be intensely pigmented whilst providing up to 10 hours wear of comfort on the lips.
Hmmmm.. what do you think?
When I received these.. my first thought was "WOW!!", but then again, who's not in for new Australis products? Not me! :P
But then I took a closer look at the shades and I'd have to say... the range has some pretty funky shades. As you can see, there's lots of browns and beiges with only 2 brights.
- Easy Chic: A puce-toned beige
- Ghetto and Glam: These two are REALLY similar when swatched. They confuse me (lol). However, in the tube, Ghetto is lighter and is more pink to vampy-purple, whereas Glam is deeper and is more red to vampy-purple.
- Boho: Another brown, but it's more tan, more warm-toned (whereas Easy Chic is more cool-toned).
- Uber Cool: A purple with pink tones. It's also quite dull. Doesn't look that bad on the lips actually!
- Preppy: Light warm-toned nude pink
- Trendy: A BRIGHT cool-toned barbie pink
- Diva: RED. Medium-toned red.
I've worn Uber Cool and Preppy already and so far, I do like it! Can't wait to try out Trendy and Diva. I probably won't touch the other shades though... However, if you're in for dark and deeper colours, then look no further!
Which shades are YOU eye-ing?
If you have aready tried out the range, then let us know below in the comments!
LOL it's kinda ironic that ghetto and glam are the two similar ones
ReplyDeleteLMAO. I've just noticed it too. Thanks for pointing it out!

I really love the DIVA. Red lipsticks have been on my mind lately!! Thanks for swatching them Tram!! :)
ReplyDeleteHave to agree the shade selection was a little unexpected ... especially with the more nude/brown/muted shades. Maybe I'm still infatuated with brights with the Maybelline Vivids release :p I will be keen to at least check these out and swatch them for myself when I see them in stores! Thanks for the helpful swatches :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha your love for Vivids! My pleasure, really. I can't wait to post about these!
DeleteUber Cool and Preppy look right up my alley. Trendy also looks quite lovely but the others are a little ..out of place? Maybe Australis was trying to create a few shades for the upcoming winter period therefore they made more darker shades. Haha who knows! Great swatches either way! :) x
