If no one takes away the AVON catalog, then I might as well be broke… LOL… I’ve been ordering stuff from AVON within the month since my first purchase of nail polishes and I think I’m hooked. So far I’m liking their products but I think have enough to keep me pretty for the rest of the year.  Here are some of the things I got and my thoughts on them.
One of many orders I got from AVON
Nailwear Pro Nail Enamel
I wanted to give myself enough time before writing a review to see if the color would last, and sure enough it did. With 2 coats and no top-coat, it did not chip and I didn’t have to touch-up during the week. My manicure lasted for more than a week. It goes on so well with no bubbles or streaks, it looks like I had my nails done professionally. It even dries up fairly quick. My personal favorite is Coral Bikini for my toes, it compliments my tanned skintone. I would buy again.

Speed Dry Nail Enamel
If you have trouble getting your nails dry fast enough, then this might be for you. On my first try, my nails got a bit messy because it dried too fast as I was stroking the brush over my nails several times. It dries within a minute or two. It’s great for when you’re short on time and don’t want to wait for your nails to dry. I would definitely buy more when they go on sale.
Glazewear Liquid Lip Color
I want to like this gloss, but I don’t. Let me tell you what I like about it: the doe-foot applicator is a plus, it’s moisturizing and non-sticky, the mild smell that’s delish and there’s no taste. The shimmer on the ones I got were not as glittery than I expected, which is a good thing. I give it 3 out of 5 because the gloss doesn’t give enough color. It’s too sheer for my liking. Maybe it was the color I chose, which was Dynamo, Rave and Coral Beat. But their trial sizes seems pigmented, I got them in Darling Pink, Berry Cool, Brown Sugar and Iced Pink. Another thing I don’t like about it is that there’s not enough product on the applicator when I pull it out of the tube, no matter how much I twist and turn to get some product on the applicator, there just wasn’t enough. It’s like the tube just wipes the product off like how a tube of mascara wipes the product off the wand. I just hate to waste time to glob on some gloss just to show color, I just give up on trying in the end. Even though the minis were nicely pigmented, I wouldn’t buy the full size. My experience with it just turned me off.

See? Not enough product on the applicator

Supershock Mascara
I like how this mascara did not clump and it seperated my lashes and gave volume. It lasted all day, it did not flake, smear or smudge under my eyes. I have nothing bad to say about it except that I felt like the tube was empty and there wasn’t enough product on the brush, which I guess is a good thing, otherwise it’ll get clumpy. I would probably but this again.
Astonishing Lengths Mascara
This mascara is “meh” to me. Not too crazy about it. It didn’t seperate my lashes very well and it did not lengthen. Actually, it made my lashes look like spider legs, not the kind of look I’m going for.
Ultra Luxury Eyeliner
This eyeliner did not tug or pull my eyes, and they go on very smooth and easy. I got these in Black and Charcoal and I’m loving the Black. But they don’t last long if worn alone so I layer it with the Big Color Eye Pencil in Night Glisten and it makes such a big difference. I would definitely buy this again.
Big Color Eye Pencil
This pencil was made as a shadow and liner in one. I only use it as a liner so I can’t comment it as a shadow. The color I got was in Night Glisten and I love it! It’s black with a bit of shimmer and I think it’s great for the outer corner. The color stays true even in sunlight. The only downside of it is that it fades at the end of the day if you don’t touch up and it tends to smear a little, maybe because I have oily skin. But I find that if I layer it with the Ultra Luxury Eyeliner, it last all day. I would buy this again.

True Color Bronzer
OMG.. what can I say about this product? I just love it! I got this in Beachy and it’s perfect for my skintone. It’s not too dark, it’s not too light, it’s just right. It makes my face look like I was kissed by the sun. It’s great for when you want an added color to your face without looking like a clown.

ANEW Age-Transforming Pressed Powder
I swear carrying this around in my bag makes me feel like a cougar… LMAO! It claims to soften the look of wrinkles and fine lines… which I don’t have, but I do want to minimize the large pores. It doesn’t help with that problem  But my boyfriend said that my face looks clean  and he never says anything like that, but I guess he really noticed it that he had to say something. It didn’t help with my oily skin but with a few blots here and there with a tissue, my skin looks fantastic! I didn’t like the sponge applicator it came with so I have to pick up one of those refill applicator for pressed powder thingamajigs.
