Avon Haul Part 2

Hey dolls,

Here is part 2 of the Avon haul. You can see part 1 here.

Infinitize Mascara

This brush is so scary looking, and its kinda sharp. I find it really uncomfortable to use. Maybe I'm using it wrong I dunno but I'm not a huge fan of it. I haven't really picked it up to use it since I first purchased it for the reasons stated but I am gonna give it another go and see if I can make it work.

"Contains lash sculpting, lengthening fibres and curling molecule to help shape and set lash curve and length for 24 hours."

 ColorTrend Lasting Smile Lip Paint

Another ColorTrend newbie.

I don't love these, but I don't hate them. I'm kind of indifferent.

The formula is nice but I don't like how it applies on the lips.

 Nocturnal

Gorgeous burgundy red. The name is fitting cos when I saw the shade I instantly thought Vampiress.

 Lolita

This colour rubs me up the wrong way. I just don't like it. When you swatch it it doesn't look how it does in the stick. And when I apply it to my lips I just feel like you can barely see it.

 Melon Drama
 This shade is too light for me, so its going into my make up kit.

 Left to right: Nocturnal, Lolita, Melon Drama

 Be...JOYFUL perfume

A light and fruity perfume that's great for the daytime. The bottle is a good size to chuck in your purse/handbag for topping up throughout the day.

SuperSHOCK Lip Gloss:

Pumped Up Plum

Tickled Pink

I love these lip glosses, I have almost the entitre collection but one...I think. They leave your lips looking super slick and shiny. And the applicator is one of my faves.

When I first saw Pumped Up Plum (which you cant really see from the pic), I thought it was gonna be too dark could seem a bit intimidating, but when I swatched it I found that not to be the case.

Tickled Pink is a bit too light for me so I'm gonna throw it into my make up kit.

Left: Plumped Up Plum

Right: Tickled Pink

Always On Point Eyeliner - Black

I only use 2 eyeliners, MAC fluidline in Black Track and Avon SuperSHOCK pencil. But when I saw this I wanted to try it cos it had a really good selling point, a sharpener in the lid. So you can always have your eyeliner ready to create precise lines.

Adalina Earrings

Like I said in part 1 of the haul Ive been broadening my jewellery collection and trying to find some cute bits for the summer (what little summer England is giving us...like literally "Get your s**t together Carol" haha). I'm starting to embrace gold jewellery. I tend to go for silver, white gold or platinum jewellery cos I can findit more elegant, some gold jewellerycan be a bit chavvy/tacky. But I'm starting to like it.

Avon C14

Hey dolls,

Apologies now for the quality of some of the pics, I started off taking them with natural daylight. Time got away from me and then it was dark so I could only use my flash.

NAILS

Mosaic Effect top coat nail polish - £6 each

L-R: Fiery Fuschia, Blue Flash, Gleaming Emerald, Plum Illusion, Red Lava

I've bought these before when they first came out but was not impressed with how they applied. Maybe they changed the formula (don't quote me on that haha) cos these applied great when I used them on my sister.

Avon nailwear pro+ - Licorice - £6

This needs 2 coats to opaque.

I don't think I need to go on about Avon nail polishes. I have bought many and loved them. And I'm glad they've added more colours to the mosaic and nailwear pro+ collection.

Swatches:

No this is not my hand haha its my little sister's hand. Her nails are longer than mine at the moment.
I used Licorice as a base and then applied the mosaic polishes on top.

EYES

Big Colour eye pencil - Burnished Copper and Golden Glamour
£3
And like the polishes I don't need to go on about how much I LOVE the big colour eye pencils. They come in great shades and are very pigmented. Great as eyeshadow, bases or eye liner.

Golden glamour

Burnished copper

 

SuperSHOCK gel eyeliner pencil - Cobalt
£2

Swatches:

L-R: Golden glamour, burnished copper, cobalt

BAGS

I'm a sucker for these types of bags from Avon and I have ONE TOO MANY. But I HAD to have these 2. I mean who doesn't love Hello Kitty and Antler bags are good quality. These will come in handy as my sister's best friend/adopted family member is getting married and we're staying at a hotel so I'm  for sure using this and may get use out of my other overnight bags that I've blogged about.

Hello Kitty Weekender Bag - £12

Antler Weekender bag - £15  
(when you spend £10 or more on selected make up)

Re-purchases:

Strong results- £1.25

Grow Potion x2 - £1.50 each

 True Colour blush - Russett - £1.75

Avon Haul C10

Hi dolls,

OK so as I said in my last blog post, I had an Avon haul to put up and here it is.

I bought one of these last year to put my facial stuff in and also to save space on my dressing table and I loved it and was so annoyed that I hadn't gotten 2 of them. So I saw that it was listed as limited stock and thought right I'm getting it.

Country Rose Compartment Beauty Holder - £3

It has a front compartment

2 compartments on the inside

 And a back compartment

Nailwear Pro nail polish - Chery Jubilee -£1

 This colour is gorgeous. Its a deep cherry red. You'll need about 2 coats for an even finish. And make sure to use a base coat. Another note is this nail polish is pain to remove and goes all over your fingers. But that wont deter me from wearing it.
I got this nail polish on offer.


Naturals Strawberry and White Chocolate collection

Theses products smell AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! They smell like sweets. after I used it I just sat there sniffing my hands haha.
In the collection you get 3 items.

Hand and Body lotion -  If you suffer from dry skin this isn't gonna do much for you. But if you don't then Id defo go and buy this
 Shower gel - not much to say on this is just your standard shower gel
Room and linen spray - I love spraying this on my clothes and then throwing them in the tumble dryer, the smell really soaks in. And My room constantly smells of this spray.
Catalogue price - £9.60
 

Ideal Luminous Blush  - Russet

This is a gorgeous blusher. It  can be subtle and add just a flush of colour to the cheeks. Or if you want it a bit stronger just build up the colour. This has been my go to blush since I got it.
Catalogue price - £6.50
 

Swatch:

Color Trend

They have re-vamped the packaging for the color trend collection and they came out with a few new shades of lipstick, eyeshadows.

Eyeshadow Duo
I've never tried ColorTrend eyeshadwos before so I only got 2. I'm very happy with the pigmentation and look forward to wearing them. I chose Violetta to see if their brighter colours would show up on me and I chose Chocolate kiss for the more natural days.

L: Violetta

R: Chocolate Kiss

Catalogue price - £4.50

Pencil Play Eyeliner in Turquoise.

Catalogue price - £3

Swatches:

Top row: Turquoise

Middle row: Violetta and Chocolate Kiss

Bottom: Russet

Kiss 'n' Go lipstick

L: Poppy Love 

R: Doll Pink

L: Passion

R: Rich Ruby
This lipstick are great. They are very pigmented and come in a range of colours to suit all skin tones. I'm a big fan of the ColorTrend range. I'm gonna try out their new nail polishes next.I know the colours are quite similar but they are different I promise :) I'm trying to branch out my colour range.
 Catalogue price - £3.75
 

Read my lips lip gloss in Kiss Kiss

I've only bought one other lip gloss in this range and it wasn't that pigmented. So I was really surprised when I swatched this how pigmented the product is. I'm very impressed.

Catalogue price - £3.75

Swatches:

Poppy Love, Doll Pink (top 2), Passion, Rich Ruby (Bottom 2). To the right: Kiss Kiss.

Polka dot Earrings Set

These are so cute. I love stud earrings. The main reason I wanted this set was the heart earrings, love them.
