Avon supershock mascara review:

Hey you! I'm back with another review.




 

Ignore my unplucked eyebrows (pesky things), just quickly snapped a pic for you guys so you can see the results! This is after a few coats, most of the time I'll spend longer applying it.

I got this in that party gift set I purchased a little while ago, but I have used it a lot in the past. Here are my personal thoughts on the product:

  • Works better after its been open a month or so in my opinion, seems to thicken slightly making it grip the lashes better and coat them even more.
  • Its definitely a buildable mascara as you can create a natural look with this or build it up for more drama, which is something I like to do, I love dramatic lashes. I get the most from it when I build it up. 
  • It separates lashes well, doesn't get too clumpy at all, but if it does its easy to correct.
  • Its good for both length and volume if you build it up. Although I do have long lashes naturally my tips are blonde so lashings of this is a must!
  • The brush is rather big and bulky, but I don't have any problems when using it.
  • I love it, this gets an 8/10 from me.

see you all soon with more reviews,

AVON foundation review:

Hello there! Time for a long awaited review, I shall start with the AVON foundations I got a few months ago.


Extra lasting foundation- I was very disappointed in this, because of the shade. I mixed it with a lighter coloured foundation as it looked too dark for ivory. I happened to notice my faced looked a tinged orange colour, which is so not the look I was going for. If this was lighter in shade I would totally wear it, was excited as it sounded promising. You cant tell from the picture, but in person it definitely looks darker than the ideal flawless. 4/10 due to the colour, but the finish would be good otherwise.

Ideal flawless- quite impressed with this one, its pale enough which is great! great start indeed. I wouldn't say it looks 'invisible' but it does look on the more natural side. As I stated in the haul, the pump was broken, then the pump got stuck in the lid not long after, and its a mess, just a mess lol. But its not a bad foundation. I tend to go easy when applying, because if you apply too much at once it goes cakey, and I have to take my time when spreading it out as to even out the application. I'd say depending on your preference its a light-medium coverage, as too much is too much with this foundation. I applied too much during the first try and it didn't sit well on my skin- little by little. 8/10.

I have ordered two more foundations to try, I am excited to receive them. Next up I have an Elf review. See you then,

Avon Anew Vitale skincare set review:

Hey guys! How are you all doing? I was unsure of what to post next, so I thought I'd talk about my experience with this range.

I picked up the sample sizes as the full size products are quite pricey in my opinion, and I didn't want to fork out money and end up not liking the product. I got this set for £10 and it was weeks ago, yet I still have quite a bit left. I think the original price was around £22 or £24, something like that anyway. I personally would not have bought it at full price, because your getting only two weeks worth.



Face wash/cleanser:

I absolutely love this face wash, my skin has never ever felt so soft. I literally stroke my face when I've used it. My skin feels really fresh afterwards and not dry or tight at all. I will definitely be buying the full size. It smells nice, but if you don't like scented products then steer clear from this, although its not too over-whelming. Its meant to lather up really well on your skin, but it doesn't much at all on mine (not sure if that's just me). 10/10.

Day cream:

I've used this the least out of everything as I'm not a huge fan of putting moisturiser on before my makeup, as it tends to slip and slide everywhere with having oily skin anyway. But it feels nice on the skin, sinks in really well, seems to brighten up my complexion a little bit. The smell is rather strong, so as I said before if you really don't like scents, then this may be a little bit much. I may not purchase this one, even though I do like it. And at around £25 a pop, I need to really want it. 9/10.

Night cream:

I use this a lot, every night without fail. It sinks into my skin really well, and I love it as part of my skincare routine. I do definitely see a difference with using these products on my skin, I may have found my holy grail skincare. I get breakouts regardless, but this has definitely not made it any worse, in fact my skins been behaving quite well. 9.10.

Eye cream:

I still have not come across an eye cream I love, or think works really well. At first this seemed to do absolutely nothing, but I carried on using it regardless, and after a few weeks I noticed a difference. My eyes seem less puffy, as I have allergies and other things that contribute to it. This is a full size product, and I definitely will be repurchasing when it runs out. 9/10.

Sorry I haven't posted this past week or so, I've been very busy and would have liked this to go up sooner! Have any of you tried this? Let me know in the comments below,

Avon haul:

Yay its finally here! Its definitely a mood booster when you get your parcel delivered, I feel like a kid in a candy store!

I ordered quite a bit, and I also ordered my mum some goodies for mothers day. I'll show you what I got for myself. Oh and I also received my re-order of the Pavers heels, there's definitely much more room in the next size up, but a little extra room is always better than squeezing your feet into something too small!


First up we have the ANEW vitale skincare kit. I got the 25+ range in the trail sizes to try them out. The range is quite expensive, so if I like the products I may order the full size. These little sets are usually around £22-£28, and they are currently on offer for £10! Now that's a bargain, if I don't like it I wont have wasted too much money. Here's the one I bought ANEW 25+ skincare set but you can buy them in other ages.

Next we have the Planet spa perfectly purifying body scrub. This contains dead sea minerals. I love a good scrub for my face and body, and I needed a new body scrub. The one I tried last wasn't rough enough for my liking, was a little too gentle. So hopefully this will do the trick. It's on offer at the moment for £3.85 instead of £5.50. I do love my bargains, here is the link if you are interested Planet spa body scrub.

I also picked up the prepare to party gift set which comes in a little evening bag with the goodies inside. This cost £10 which is great as everything separate would cost much more. The set includes supershock mascara in black, ultra colour lipstick in red 2000, true colour eyeshadow duo in healthy glow, and glimmestick eyeliner in blackest black. The bag is PVC but very soft. This is out of the stock at the moment, but they should be getting more in soon, here is the link prepare to party gift set. I've had similar ones before in the past, and they are worthit.

I picked up two foundations on the 2 for £12 offer, ones the extra lasting liquid foundation which contains SPF 12, and the other is the ideal flawless invisible foundation which also contains an SPF 15. I'm always on the lookout for new foundations to try, and I'm quite excited to try these out. I got them both in Ivory so will soon find out how dark they turn out on my skin.  Here are the links Extra lasting foundation, and Invisible coverage foundation. The invisible coverage has more color options.

Below I have uploaded some closer looks at the products:







I quickly did some swatches to show the product colours:


These are swatches from the prepare to party gift set.


The darker swatch is the extralasting foundation, hopefully it will blend well and wont be too dark for me. The lighter swatch is the ideal flawless foundation, I had a problem getting this out of the bottle because the pump wouldn't work, maybe its faulty. I'm hoping it begins to work so I don't have to scoop the product out of the bottle.

I'm just waiting on my makeup storage to come now, but it's out of stock due to high demand. So may be waiting around 2 weeks until it arrives.

Let me know if you have tried any of these products and your thoughts. See you all soon,
