Avon Mega Effects Mascara Review

When i saw this little mascara packaged in pink and black,i knew that i MUST own it!

So i ordered it for R100 from an Avon representative and i tested it out.


                                         


The mascara looks cute and is very compact as well.The applicator itself is a wide brush with an adjustable handle made for an easier ,less messy, application.It resembles a paint brush and i have never seen a mascara like this before!

                                                


It really gives your lashes a pop of volume and some length.

BUT honestly,it did NOT do it for me.I tried it twice and it will be the last time i use this only because it is so MESSY! It was a bit clumpy on my lashes as well and i could not reach those lashes towards the inner corner of my eye.The paintbrush applicator was not helpful at all.

So,that was my honest opinion.Whats your thoughts on this mascara?

Avon Metal Eyes Eyeshadow Quad and Avon Primer in Light Beige Review

Avon just released a new range of eye shadow quads,lip crayons and lipsticks.

You will find all the new products in the current Avon brochure.
I have the Avon primer for eyes to review and the eye shadow quad called Metal Eyes! :)

Avon

Where to Buy

From any Avon Representative

-Avon promises Rich colors that glide on your eye preventing any creasing.
-Shades suitable for EVERY skin tone.
-Smokey eyes have never been this easy because the eye shadows are numbered and the box tell you what goes where.

1.Lightest:Brow Bone
2.Accent:Inner Corner
3.Medium:Outer Corner
     4.Darkest:Lash lines

Swatched

                                                             

The fun part is experimenting and applying the colors where ever you want but the numbered eye shadow helps...ALOT.

-The color in the pan is the same color that appears on your eyes which i love and swatching is not even necessary.

I did a swatch of the Metal Eyes quad.

Metal Eyes is a collection of Shimmer White,Gold,Bronzed Brown and Gunpowder Glitter/Pewter.
All these shadows are very pigmented and the white and gold/yellow shadow have the MOST sparkle to them.

These shades swatched nicely especially the pigmented yellow gold..a very rich glittery yellow.
The white shadow is very sparkly and you do not see much of the white.Its very sheer.

I also used an Avon eye primer which is just creamy and gorgeous! I got the 1 in light beige and the texture is so buttery.It just glided on my eye so a little goes a long way!
This primer really keeps eye shadow in place.After i did my look,i wanted to try another and it was so hard for my shadows to come off! So this quad is best paired up with the Avon eye primer.

Avon Primer in Light Beige

Primer swatched

                                                   

When the darker shades gets blended out ,its starts to look sheer :( i guess thats normal so it is more wearable,but you just keep have to applying and layer it up if you want a more dramatic look.
Use a blending brush and just blend!!!!
Quality wise ,i would say its average.I did not like the fallout when applying the shadows on my eye.

With this quad,its best to do eye shadow first then the rest of your face.

This shadows lasted me about a few hours - i kept on touching up on my outer corners because i went for a smokey effect.

THE END RESULT

The Avon Eye shadow Palette Range

Justine And Avon Nail Polish Review

PRODUCT INFO

A pretty long lasting pop of coral colour. Very pretty.

Brand

Justine

What a stunning spring /summer colour.
You would think this would be more pinkish and the name does say wild strawberry but its actually a gorgeous, fun and summery coral pop of  colour.

There is no need for more than 1 coat but I always do 3 coats and a clear polish over which is the 3rd coat.


It Goes on smooth and very shiny... love it.

I painted my nails on Tuesday and its still looking decent on my nails and today is Friday.

And my nails grow really fast!

I wanted to do something more interesting so I painted a glitter pigmented Avon nail polish on every second nail (silver plated-R30).

I love sparkle but I definitely know my limit lol.When it comes to nails and when i am doing it myself, simple is better and I received so many compliments thus far..I actually felt so professional when its so simple and easy ! You just need a few minutes to yourself and its very therapeutic for me.

Very pretty coral colour thats perfect for summer!
