Avon Review!!!

 Hey guys,
Today im going to do a Avon Review. Ive been using Avon products for the last year and im really impressed  I never thought the products would be as good as they are.
Avon products are really good quality and are so affordable and I dont think people realise this.
So I said I would do a review on the latest products I purchased.
*I bought all these products myself, this is my honest opinon and i am not in any way getting paid to do this review :)



I bought a foundation brush and it was so good I ended up buying the whole set!
I love love love these face brushes!
  • The hairs on these brushes are super super soft
  • I love the fact the brushes are all black I think they look so professional
  • The label doesnt wear off.... unlike mac brushes
  • The brushes are easy to clean
  • The hairs dont shed at all!!
Overall I give these brushes 9 out of 10
only because im not a huge fan of the shadow brush it could be more flexable and it doesnt pack on much colour otherwise they are just as good as my mac brushes!!
I wish they sold more brushes :(

Powder brush
This is great for applying powder foundation,pressed powder and blush



 Angled brush
great for applying blush and bronzer
i love using this brush for contouring because it gets right into the hollows of your cheeks!


Foundation brush
Great at applying liquid foundation it gives you that flawless finish!!

Shadow brush
i do like this brush but it wouldnt be my favourite i think it could be a little more flexable
the smudger is great though!

 all brushes come in these cute little cases
they are so handy you can just pop your brushes into your handbag and they wont get dirty or
 damaged!


This is the 8 in 1 eye palette in smoky eye
This palette also comes in neutral tones
These colours are really pigmented and long lasting i will be doing a makeup tutorial soon using this palette!!



I love this cute little hello kitty makeup bag
I just had to get it :)


 I got 4 of these eyeshadow quads because i loved the colours so much again they are really pigmented and long lasting!
  • 1st quad is Denim Blues( I have a tutorial using this quad)
  • 2nd quad is Smokey Eyes
  • 3rd quad is Mocha Latte
  • 4th quad is Fresh Cut Greens



SWATCHES!
Smokey Eyes Quad Swatch

Fresh Cut Greens Quad Swatch







Pressed Powder (in light medium)
This is one of my favourite powders
  • Easy to use
  • Doesnt look cakey
  • Long lasting
  • Sponge comes with it
  • Doesnt make your face look white in pictures

Super shock intense mascara in black
ive used so many mascaras and i always come back to this one.
ive used it in most of my tutorials.
The wand is quite long so its perfect for getting full coverage in one layer!
effortless :)

Arabian Glow Multstylo (Shimmering bronze) this is great for in the summer months to give you that sun kissed glow 
It can be used on your lips,cheeks and eyes
I use it on my cheeks to give me a natural glow :)

SWATCH!


Avon pro brow enhancer in brown
This isnt my favourite product but its great for taming your brows without leaving them sticky
You cant really see the brown tint!

Ultra Colour Rich Lipstick in Perfect Peach
I love this lipstick its quite a sheer shimmery colour ive used it in one or two of my tutorials!



and last but not least
Avon nailwear pro in lavender
its a gorgeous lilac colour and will stay chip free for a few days if you apply two coats :)

lady gaga's inspired bow tutorial and make up tutorial

Hello my Lovelies,
Hope everyone is having a great weekend :)
Today i did a makeup look using Avons brown eyeshadow quad called 'mocha latte' and Lady Gagas pink lipstick from Mac
shown below...

Face: foundation: i used urban decays mineral powder foundation in supernova
and i used the blusher and mascara from this gorgeous 'its glowla' makeup kit from Benefit
and from my essence eyebrow set i used the light brown colour




kit includes:
Coralisa coral-pink blush with brush
High beam and Moon beam samples
Eyeshadow palette and fluff shadow/hard angle brush
Bad girl lash mascara
Life on the A list lip gloss (which smells amazing)
A step by step makeup lesson

its everything a girl needs on the go and i love it :)



ok for my eyes i applied the lightest colour in the quad all over my lids
and then i took the darkest brown colour in the quad and with a blending brush i applied it to the outer corners of my eyes blending in towards he center of my lids and thats it :)

for my lips:
i applied my lady gaga lipstick using a lip brush and used a clear lip gloss to finish the look






For my hair:
step 1: I cliped in my hair extensions because my hair is too short and tied my hair into a high ponytail
step 2: i tied my hair into a loose bun with the tips hanging out pointing towards the front of my head
step 3: i split my bun in two and pinned them down using bobby pins
step 4: take the tip of your hair and wrap it over the hair you split in two and pin down
you could also accessorize with a ribbon

Thanks so much for all your support and lovely comments i really appreciate it

Simple Smokey Eyes

WHAT I USED?

  • Rimmel london shadow in moonstone

  • Macs shadowy lady (matte)

  • Macs mystery

  • Macs gorgeous gold

  • L'oreal super liner in carbon black

  • Avon pro brow enhancer

  • Avon super shock mascara

  • Urban decays 24/7 liner in zero

  • For my lips i used Avons lipstick in perfect peach
Ok firstly I primed my lids using Urban Decays primer potion


Step 2: using a flat brush i applied gorgeous gold all over my lids


Step 3: Using a shader brush like this (im using macs 239)
Dip the tip into the shadow Mystery

Step 4: Draw a straight line up starting from your bottom lid stopping at your crease
if your finding this hard, stick a little sticky tape on the corner of your eye this will help you get a straight line


 

Step 5: Blend Mystery towards the center of your eye just above the crease 

 

Step 6: Now using a blending brush im using macs 217
 blend the brown and gold together to get that smokey effect!

Step 7: Using your shader brush again apply shadowy lady to your crease
and blend well!!!


Step 8: Now your eye should look a little something like this!
Make sure both eyes are even and then apply liquid liner to your top lid
and apply urban decays liner to your water line and apply mascara

Step 9: Apply a little bit of mysery with a shader brush to you lower lid
 starting from the outer corner and stopping about half way in,

Step 10: I applied a bit of rimmels moonstone in the inner corner of my eyes by my tear ducts and a little bit of my lower lid to brighten up the look

Step 11: I applied Avons pro brow enhancer to my eye brows 
this is a tinted gel the gel helps shape them while the brown tint helps enhance my eyebrows



step 12: apply a little bit of perfect peach lipstick with a lip brush
 you can put some clear lipgloss on top
to finish off the look :)









hope this was helpful girlys
love
