Disappointing Product

Hey dolls,

I cant remember when Avon came out with their Matte nail polishes but I swatched them and then kinda forgot about them. But I recently sorted out all my nail polishes and thought I'd start wearing them.


 Avon matte nail polish - Grey Cement
So the polish didn't exactly go on evenly as you can see in the pic. But I managed to fix it. But after I'd sorted my nails and went about my day (which consisted of me sitting on my butt all day watching telly lol) this happened to my nails throughout the day...


 

Its like it was just peeling off. I then went out and again wasn't really using my hands and the nail polish just kept falling off, it was the strangest thing. I felt so embarrassed on the train when people could see my nails.

What are your disappointing products?

AVON Haul

Hello all,

Back again with another post. As an AVON representative, I tend to purchase things when placing orders for my customers (I always end up spending WAY too much). So here is the latest order of mine. I was very impressed with the stuff I bought. If you don’t have any AVON products I defo suggest you look online or find a rep in your area cos they have very high quality products at reasonable prices.

 Country Rose Compartment Beauty Holder (Standing up) - £4.20
This is the CUTEST thing, when I saw it I was like I NEED this. Its sits so nicely on my vanity table with all my other beauty products I keep my Simple face stuff in there.
 (The Inside)

Jewellery Stand - £6.00
I was so happy when this came in the post, I've been looking for one of these but all the ones I've seen are so overpriced so when I saw this one for £6 I added it to my order.

 Little Black Dress Eau de Parfum and Body Spray - £9


I’m not gonna try and describe the perfume scents to you because I am so not good a describing smells. The only thing I can say is that they are very much scents that suit me and I love them all.

 Little White Dress Eau de Parfum  - £13

 Incandessence Eau de Parfum Spray - £2.00 (when you bought one perfume you got the other for just £2)

 Naturals Strawberry and Guava Shake Body Lotion - £0.99 (nice but the scent is a bit overpowering)
Avon Care Glycerine Hand Cream - £0.75 my sister swears by this so I thought I would pick one up, thought it might help me while I’m trying to grow back my nails. Will update you with how I find it.

 Nail Experts Liquid Freeze Quick Dry Spray 50ml (4-for £10.00)
This spray is brilliant. Does exactly what it says on the tin (well bottle haha) If you're in a rush and wanna paint your nails but don’t have the time to wait for them to dry this s definitely the product for you.

 Glimmersticks Diamond Eyeliner Smokey Diamond - £2.75
 This eyeliner has a smooth application, and is really good for when you want a hint of colour on the eyes.

 Luxe Lace SuperSHOCK Gel Eyeliner Pencil Black - £2.45  
This is really good, I had heard so much about this but everytime I looked they were never in the catalogue. So they've finally brought it back, so I obviously had tot get one. It goes on so easy and smudgeproof.

Glimmerstick Diamonds Eyeliner Emerald Glow - £2.75
 (See descriptions for Smoky Diamond)

 Swatches: Top to bottom - Emerald Glow, Supershock gel liner, Smoky Diamond



 Dana Bird Cage Necklace - £3.00
 This necklace is so cute (I use this word too much lol, but it is...Its a bird in a cage)

Nail Polish


Excuse my bad swatches, my nails are all short and gross so I had to borrow my little sisters hand. And the angles were all off, so yeah. I tried my best to get some OK shots.

 Nail Experts Peeling & Brittleness Solver 12ml (4-for £10.00) Hope this helps my nails to gorw. Will update if I see any improvements of the condition of my nails.


 Avon Matte Nail Enamel Inky Blue (4-for £10.00) The matte nail polishes from AVON are AMAZING! They dry so quickly and the matte affect is pretty cool.


 Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel Strawberry (4-for £10.00) This polish needs 1-2 coats.


 Avon Matte Nail Enamel Black as Night (4-for £10.00)


 Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel Twilight Blue (4-for £10.00) - this polish is a close dupe to Barry M "Navy"
 
 Nailwear Pro Nail Enamel Blue Shock (4-for £10.00)
This polish is very sheer and needs about 2-3 coats for an even finish, but once dry is so nice, never had a nail polish colour like this. (I’m annoyed that they're discontinuing this.)


 Arabian Glow Nailwear Funky Fuchsia  - £3.00 This polish is super bright.


Arabian Glow Nailwear Sunshine - £3.00 This needs 1-2 coats fror an even finish. 

If you dont own any Avon nail polishes advise you to go out and get some.
