My AVON Haul

Hey Beauties, 

My dear friend and AVON Rep, Debbie, dropped the 3rd brochure of this year through my door and I must say I like all the offers they have available right now, their sets and the cut price of a lot of their products, from make up to skin care, hair care and even tools. It's brilliant. I also bought all the sample sized shades of AVON's new range lipsticks which are called Perfectly Matte, they currently have 15 different colours which I will talk about in a coming post for you. 

I placed an order one week, then the following week I received them. I've mainly got eye make up bits and some bath and body products. Without further-a-do, let's start. 

 

On the very first page are the glimmerstick eyeliners. I already have a lot of these and previous-discontinued shades, I absolutely love them. This time two shades in particular caught my eye, Starry Night Blue (which the model is wearing and looks amazing in!) and Emerald (which is my birthstone and also I find green really suits my eyes and make them stand out so well). Usually they are £6 each however, in this brochure they are £5 each and also have an offer placed on them Buy One Choose One Free - mix and match saving £7. 
They have 'twist-up-bottoms' rather than pencil sharpening which is a huge plus, and the formula is super soft and super creamy. Colour pay off is gorgeous and the shades in real life match the shade swatches in the brochure really well.

I bought a set that AVON put together which included an Eye Dimensions Eyeshadow, a Big & Daring Glimmerstick Kohl Eyeliner and Big & Daring Volume mascara all for £10 (saving £13.50). You could choose between all 4 shades of eyeshadow, I chose the one the model was wearing which is Sultry Smoke (a pearl, champagne and black trio). There was also 6 shades of the eyeliner to pick from, I chose boldest black. They have a Brown/Black and a Black mascara, I chose the black. All what the model was wearing, all looking gorgeous! 

The eyeliner is the same soft and creamy texture as the glimmersticks above, I'd say it's most likely they share the same - if not very similar - formula. The shade is a nice dark black, colour pay off again is excellent. The mascara feels bulkier than others I have had from AVON or other brands, definitely feels larger than most. The wand is curved to really give those lashes some help to curl and the bristles look as though they will comb and coat nearly all lashes well. Sultry Smoke Eye Dimensions Eyeshadow is WOW, upon sliding the item out of the box my mouth dropped, my eyes widened and I literally said out-loud "Ooooh... That is so pretty!". The shades are phenomenal and I love the sparkles within all three shades, just gorgeous! I can't stop staring at them, it's mesmerising. I think this will be my go-to palette for Valentines Day this year. Oh My Gosh - they are gorgeous.

The last eye make up item is the SuperSHOCK Vivid Eyeshadow in the shade Soft Bronze, they have two other shades called 24K Gold and Sparkling Platinum which are pretty self explanatory really. In the tube it is definitely liquid form, looks like water to be fair. It doesn't dry quickly so it is blendable and it is also buildable, so you can give it a few layers and get the colour really vivid or leave it subtle with one light sweep.

On to Body bits, I saw this, the Skin So Soft Silky Moisture Tissue Oil, normally £8 but it's £4 in this brochure. They've named it the stretch mark superhero and claims it also reduces scars, dark spots and discolouration. I personally bought it for the discolouration aspect, I quite like my stretch marks due to my pregnancy as it's something that I nor the doctors thought was ever going to happen. I wear them with absolute pride at my body for finally conquering it! Anyways, my skin has always been quite pigment-crazy, and I'd like it to somehow even out my skin tone.

The last bits I got were simply because I liked the packaging... although my photo's really don't do the design justice. The new fragrance Red Rose and Peach in AVON's Naturals body lotion, scented sprits and shower gel. All three items are half price in this brochure, which is a bonus. They usually range between £2.70 and £3.20. Doesn't the design with the two roses and the cut open peach still with the stone inside look gorgeous against the ombre red background and clear bottles. Gorgeous. These will look good in my bathroom. On to the smell, it does smell nice - not too strong, I'm not sure the scent will last all day but should make my skin smell nice in the morning at least. We shall see when I start to use them.

As said above, I also got all 15 shades of their new matte lipstick line in their sample sizes. So many to choose from and get to know... Will talk about them in a next post!

There we have it! What I got in this brochure. My favourite within this order is definitely - hands down - the eye dimensions eye shadow in Sultry Smoke. It's stunning. So stunning. Just... Stunning!

I am a huge fan of AVON anyway, and seeing new products and lines that they bring out do excite me. Are they a hit or miss with you?

Speak to you soon,

Have Fun - Be Good!
