OPI Soft Shades Collection

-
 

Packaging:
The mini's come in their own branded cardboard box. The bottles are the same as a full sized OPI polish just scaled down.

Smell/Taste:
Nail polish.

Colour:
It's In The Clouds - soft white with a hint of beige that makes it slightly warm.
Stop I'm Blushing - muted baby pink.
It's A Boy - soft baby blue.
This Cost Me A Mint - soft mint.
Available in 6 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
These shades are perfect for a pop of soft colour during winter in brighter shades. They may be dupeable to someone with a larger collection but they're all unique to me.

I've found In The Clouds and It's A Boy to be the most sheer requiring 3-4 layers for even and full opaqueness. Other then this, they all perform the same consistency and wear wise as a permanent full sized nail polish from OPI. I can get 4-5 days of wear using a base and top coat.

I love this mini packs as they're tasters for the collection and you get the shade you're really after and a couple of others you might have not been so keen on but are interested in. This way you've got a better chance of using the bottle up before it goes goopy and actually finish it.

Available:
Only for a limited time from Myer Stores, myer.com.au for $25 4x 3.75ml/0.125fl.oz.

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
