Avon winter haul

Hello everyone! I have an Avon haul prepared for you with the products that I’ve bought these few months. 

Starting with the hair and bath&body products we have: Heaven Harmony liquid soap with lily of the valley&apple, Advance Techniques color protection anti-fade UV spray, Advance Techniques dry shampoo, Winter Green Apple bubble bath and On-Duty Fresh deo roll-on.

The skin care face products are all Clearskin: pore penetrating gel cleanser(an everyday cleanser), pore penetrating black mineral cleanser (very good for leaving your skin squicky clean) and a blemish mark treatment from the professional range of the Clearskin products.

For make-up I’ve chosen the MagiX face perfector because although I don’t usually wear make-up I wanted to give it a try. On a first impression I didn’t like it very much,  it’s greasy, feels heavy,  I didn’t see any improvement for my pores and as for foundation resistance I don’t wear it long enough to need so much resistance throughout  the day.  Other make-up choices have been Ideal Flawless foundation, True Color Perfectly Matte lipstick in Red Supreme, the Precision Make Up Sponge, Luxe stippling brush, the 8 in 1 Nude shimmer palette and Always On Point Eyeliner in the Molten Rose shade.

The Ideal Flawless foundation wears very well and it has a slight shimmer to it. It gives you the “barely there” feeling of a foundation that covers pretty well while looking very natural. The shade I picked for my skin tone is Ivory.

The lipstick is a gorgeous deep red that I found to be more creamy than matte. It is also not resistant to transfer.

I really like the  Precision Make Up Sponge, it gave me a nice application of the product without making it look cakey on my skin, I’ll definitely buy more. I didn’t try the stippling brush yet.

I did however try the 8 in 1 eyeshadow palette and loved it. I bought it because I have the palette in “Not-So-Neutral” and the colors are beautiful, the application and blending seamless and the shades work really well with the season. The Always On Point Eyeliner is very subtle, shimmery and wears best on it’s own as it can be very easily overpowered. 

For the sparkly part of the season haul I’ve chosen 2 shades from the new ” Liquid Sequin” of the “Magic Effects” collection: “Sequin” and “Glitterati” along with a brush for nail art correcting and a Chrisha black bracelet.

I have also received the new Dreams perfume and body lotion, a spring fragrance that reminds me of Avon’s “Femme” but a bit more subtle. The body lotion seemed to have very little fragrance unlike other lotions paired with perfumes.

And at last one of my favorite purchases: the Soft Cosy Reversible Throw Blanket! This has been my indoor staple for this winter. Soft, keeps me warm and looks fabulous! 

 

 

New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve is a time of celebration and joy and what best to capture that essence if not sparkly and bubbly nails that make you think about a glass of  champagne!
