April Favourites 2014

It's April Favourites Time!! April was kind a slow month with a million assignments to be done but I did manage to add some fun. At the start of April my cousin and I went to Adelaide Comic Con and met Benedict Cumberbatch {A.k.a. Sherlock!! DEM CHEEKBONES ARE LIFE}. Other than that highlight, everything else I did in April seemed so teeny. I've made too many trips to Mecca Cosmetica this month, so I've had a few things to trial and test out.

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash
I bought this product at the beginning of the month and I have been loving it. The scent is so sweet with a strong hit of lime which makes the whole shower + my body smell really good! It makes my skin so smooth and I'm glad that there is still more than 3/4 left in the bottle considering I have used quite a bit up already.

Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub
I have JUST purchased this now, after wanting it for so long and I don't know why I waited so long. I love it! The sweet and salty flavour tastes good and even though I'm still getting used to the whole "lick the dead skin off your lips" thing, it does do a good job at getting rid of peeling lips making them ready for lipstick {Mwa}.

OPI Muppets Most Wanted {Kermit Speak to Me}

Ever since this baby entered my life, I have been loving it. This nail polish is apart of OPI's Muppets Most Wanted Collection and is a mauve/green duo-chrome. I just can't get over how lovely the shade is.

Random Mascara Wand
I don't even know where I found this mascara wand, it just sort of appeared in my collection. I use it to tame my brows because they are going through that awkward growing out stage..

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm {Elusive}
My last post was about the Revlon Matte Balms and I am in love with the shade "Elusive". It's a really easy colour to wear and I sometimes pair it with MAC's "Sweetie" on top so it gives a bit of sheen and moisture. LOVE!!

L'oreal Super Liner Blackbuster Eyeliner
Again, I have done a review about why I like this eyeliner. It's a thick marker and I somehow find it easier to create a thin line and flick! Crazy right?! Any time I decided to add liquid eyeliner to my eyelids this month, I have used this!

What has been your April Favourites?

O.P.I When Froggy Met Piggy

I can't even begin to explain how much I love The Muppets!! Growing up and watching the muppets movies and their appearances on different shows used to be one of my favourite things to do as a child {coolest kid out. pls, I know}. I kid you not, when the local dvd shop were selling their all their video games back in 2001, I begged my mama to buy me this Muppets racing game and I used to play it constantly all the time because it didn't have a save feature! {wow this is sounding like a nerd files post}. The music, the costumes and the puppets are still magical in my eyes so when I found out that O.P.I had bought out ANOTHER Muppets collection, I knew I needed them in my life.

The Muppets Most Wanted Collection is based on the newest Muppets movie and contains 8 gorgeous limited edition shades. The shades are quite neutral which wasn't I was expecting from this collection as The Muppets often reminds me of bright colours. Either way, the shades are pretty gorgeous in this collection and you might want to check them out if neutral with PAZAZZ is your thing.

I bought the When Froggy Met Piggy set from Myers for $24.95 which includes two full size O.P.I. nail polishes which I thought was a pretty good deal as one bottle is normally $19.95!! So the set contains the two shades "Kermit Speak to Me" and "Gaining Mole-Mentum". They are both lovely 

shades, and I don't own anything like them in my growing nail polish collection.

"Kermit Speak to Me" is a mauve/green duochrome certain angles and light, appears mauve with hints of brown and gold. It applies a little on the sheer side and is opaque in 2-3 coats. I LOVE THIS SHADE! 

The other nail polish is "Gaining Mole-Momentum" which has gold and rose gold shredded glitter. It looks like little pieces of foil and apply quite generously on the nail. I must admit it is a little difficult to 

get off but hey, that's glitter nail polish for ya.

Overall, I'm in love with these shades and I can tell that I will be wearing them on my nails for a while. I really want to get my hands on the other shades in The Muppets Most Wanted Collection!

O.P.I Couture de Minnie: Runway Minnies

This O.P.I. set called the Couture de Minnie: Runway Minnies is another collection O.P.I has launched with taking inspiration from one of the most popular disney cartoon characters - Minnie Mouse. I received this set for Christmas last year from my mum as she knew that I wanted it as it is disney related {anyone a disney fan?} and the colours are so lovely. I have never really dabbled too much in O.P.I. nail polishes because they are quiet expensive so all the ones I do own were all gifted to me by friends and family and I really do enjoy them.

The set came with four mini O.P.I. bottles which are 3.75ml each and I can't even describe how cute these bottles are. What I really love about this set is that because the bottles are so small, you can sample colours that you are interested in and decided whether you like it and if you want to commit to a full size bottle.

Now the fun stuff, the colours! There is a mixture of pinks and reds which ties in with the Minnie Mouse colour scheme so well.

"A Definite Moust-Have" is a bright fuschia creme

"Magazine Cover Mouse" is a berry toned liquid sand formula

"Chic from Ears to Tail" is a bubblegum pink creme

"Innie Minnie Mighty Bow" is a crimson pearl

I do love all the shades as they are all very bold and classic. I was a little disappointed with "Chic from Ears to Tail" because it was so sheer that I had to apply maybe 4ish coats to get it opaque but it is such a nice colour that I don't mind. I have never tried O.P.I.'s liquid sand formula before so I was really eager to try "Magazine Cover Mouse"and I really like it even though some days I like to use a top coat over it to make it smooth and shiny.

Overall the Couture de Minnie: Runway Minnies was a major hit in my books. Good quality nail polish mixed with a little disney what more could you want? My mum bought it from Myre however I'm not sure of which stores that still stock it but it wouldn't hurt to have a look next time you're there.

What's your favourite collection from O.P.I?
