Avon Haul

I feel like i haven't ordered from Avon in ages so i was really looking forward to getting the things i ordered :)

This is what i got
Another bottle of the Liquid Freeze Spray because it was on sale and i love it :) so i thought i might as well get a back-up
Foundation Samples
  • 3x Magix Cashmere Finish Foundation
  • 2x Perfect Wear Extra Lasting Foundation
  • 1x Ideal Shade Natural Liquid Foundation
An Angled blush brush

I decided to get foundation samples because Avon foundations are about £10 each so i thought i would try a few out first before i bought any

Review: Sleek Sunset Eye Shadow Palette

Sleek Eye Shadow Palette
in Sunset

Cost: £4.99

My Thoughts: I always thought that i would never buy any of the sleek palettes because i always forget about using palettes and just use my single eye shadows. However, when i saw the the Sleek counter at Lincoln, i just couldn't resist :) The pigmentation of the shadows is incredible for the price and the range of colours and finishes they offer throughout all of their palettes is extremely impressive for a high street make-up brand. I do think however that with some of the lighter shades, you have to apply a lot to get to see the colour more then the shimmer or apply them wet.

Where you can buy:
Superdrug

would i re-purchase: yes :) i would also buy other palettes in the sleek range

Overall score: 9/10

NYFW Tutorial - Alexander Wang Inspired

As always, the picture i used is just for inspiration, it is not and exact copy and you do not need to use all the products i used, just use what you have!


Begin by priming both the lid and the under eye area - I used UDPP


Now take a burnt orange colour on a fluffy brush and sweep it over the lid, just past the crease. Then take an angled eye liner brush and bring the same colour along the lower lash line. - I used a colour from the Sunset Sleek Palette


Then take a bronzed brown and lightly sweep it into the crease. It doesn't have to be too obvious - I used Mardi Gras from Boots 17


Brighten up the eye by applying a shimmering champagne colour into the inner corner - I used a light colour from the Sleek Sunset Palette


This is what it should look like so far


Starting from the middle of your eye apply liquid liner to the upper lash line, getting slowly thicker towards the end, and then carry it on underneath

These are the Products I used
UDPP
Sleek Palette - the burn orange colour = Bottom Row, Third from the Left
- the champagne colour = Bottom Row, Second from the Right
Boots 17 Shadow in Mardi Gras
Barry M Kohl Pencil Liner in Black
Mac Penultimate Liner in Rapid Black

Review: Avon Invisible Light Illuminating make up base

Avon Invisible Light
Illuminationg make up base


Cost: I think it is discontinued now but i've seen it range from about £4-£6 on the internet

My Thoughts: This is a lovely liquid highlighter that just adds a very light irridescent to the skin. It blends very easily, but can quickly so be fast when you are using it. It's perfect if you have quite dry skin because its slightly hydrating.

Where you can buy:
Avon brochures & the website

Would i re-purchase: probably not, i like it, but not enough to buy another

Overall Score: 6/10

Review: Barry M Lip Gloss Wand in Pastel Pink (4)

Barry M Lip Gloss Wand
in Pastel Pink (4)

Cost: £4.25 but a lot of superdrug's are doing 2 lip products for £7 at the minute

My Thoughts: The first thing that its you when you open this is the smell. It is delicious! i love it :) The colour itself is a very blue toned baby pink, so if you have slightly stained teeth, this gloss will just emphasise them :( I know a few people find this far too pale to work with, and trust me i understand this, but a thin layer of it can look pretty, without something too Lady Gaga. Do you know what i mean?? You can see glitter in the tube, but not a lot comes out which i like :) I don't find it too sticky but it doesn't really last very long.

Where you can buy:
Superdrug
Boots
some Supermarkets

Would i re-purchase: Yes, and i really like the look of the Toffee one :)

Overall Score: 8/10
