Avon Haul C14

Hey Guys,

So here is my Avon haul, I 've got another delivery coming on Thursday (that's how late this post is going up...apologies *flutters eyelashes*) So instead waffling through an intro I'm just gonna get cracking...

 First up is this gorgeous Hello Kitty bag, in the magazine its classed as an overnight bag, but I happily use it as a handbag :D
£20.00
 Christian Lacroix - Absynthe EDP for her 50ml 
£15
I cant explain scents but all I know is that this perfume is fabulous. Its got this really sophisticated kind of scent to it, and the scent lasts for AGES, which I'm so happy about.

 Natural Vanilla Shake body lotion 200ml
£0.99
 This  lotion is mmmmm, it smells delicious.And like the perfume the scent lasts AGES!

Hello Kitty Cosmetic bag
£2.99

 Beauty Bonus Bag, when you brought 2 things from set pages you got this for free. I think it was worth £24
It came with:
  • Anew Clinical Thermafirm Face Lifting Cream - trial size - which I wont be using
  • PVC Cosmetics bag
  • Ultra colour rich Mega impact lipstick - Really Rosy
  • Nailwear pro nail enamel - Sequined Turquoise

 I couldn't get a good swatch photo cos the true colour of the lipstick just was not showing up properly. But it is such a pretty colour.

 True Colour Eye Duo - Midnight Rose
£3
 Unfortunately theses don't have a name :(  The purple is coming up quite blue in the photo. But in real life its not. I have to build these colours up a bit cos I don't think these were designed for my skin tone. But once built up they are so pretty.
 True Colour Eye Duo - Midnight Sky
£3
 Apologies for my eyebrows in the pics, they need doing *hangs head* haha I actually hurt my eyes trying to build up the colour, its feels really weird and a but sore :( but stick to a make up brush instead of the sponge tip applicator provided. :(

Nailwear Pro Nail enamel
Left: Vivid Violet -£5
Right: Decadence - £5
I will be doing swatches of these in my nail haul, keep an eye out :)

 Eyeshadow brush
£2.50

 Pro Luscious lip pout lip colour - Spiced Wine
£5
This lipstick comes with a lip gloss in the lid.I was trying to get the sparkle in this lip gloss to come up, it really hasn't caught it in the swatch. Its just about picked up in the picture above.


I bought a few eyeliners,
Big colour eye pencil - Blue Azure and Frosted Ice - £4
Glimmerstick Diamonds eyeliner in Sugar Plum - £5
Glimmerstick Diamonds eyeliner in Twilight Sparkle - £1.25





Swatches:
Top 2 - Blue Azure and Frosted Ice
Bottom 2 -  Glimmerstick Diamonds eyeliner in Twilight Sparkle and Sugar Plum

I am so happy with these eyeliners. The eye pencil duo is so creamy and pigmented. And the glimmersticks just glide on so nicely. With Sugarplum I would probably find a colour close to it and apply it over the top to intensify the colour if you are of a darker skin tone.

I hope you enjoyed this post :)

Sleek: Nude Collection - Au Naturel palette

Hey guys,

So today I am going to be talking about the palette from the Sleek Nude Collection. I'm sorry its taken me ages to put this up.

The nude collection consisted of a blush, palette and pout polish. I didn't get the pout polish or blush because the colours really weren't for my skin tone. But I have to say I am like totally IN LOVE with this palette. Everyone can use this palette no matter what your skin tone.This has been my go to item when I wear make up.

Top row: L-R: Nougat, Nubuck, Cappuccino, Honeycomb, Toast, Taupe
Bottom row: L-R: Conker, Moss, Bark, Mineral Earth, Regal, Noir

My favourite colours are Toast, Conker and Bark. I use them for just a natural smoky eye for the daytime. I love this palette because you can create soft and dramatic looks with it. I had it confirmed by sleek that the palette is permanent, so whenever you hit up superdrug go buy it :)

I would give this palette 5 out of 5.

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.
