Project 10 Pan...Maybe?

               Sup dolls! I am thinking about maybe trying project 10 pan, but I am a buying addict so I am coming up with my own little version...

Here is my deal to myself: I cannot buy any shadows until I hit pan on the pearly golden-white shade of the (ol packaging) Avon eye shadow quad. Hit pan within a week, give into my temptation and buy something from Sephora as soon as possible. I cannot suffer a month without buying something lol.

Avon Shine Attract Lipstick in Fuchsia Flare...and Campaign 6 Catalog Scandal

              Hey lovelies! (What an awkward greeting...) Oh well. Anyway, I would like you to meet (dah-dah-dah-DAH!) my new favorite lipstick! Seriously, admit it...everyone's been buzzing lately about those Avon Shine Attract lipsticks, so I decided to give them a try. Really, how often does a lipstick wrapped in gloss come up? Once in a lifetime if it's the "world's first" to do it. Let's check it out, shall we?

Whoa! Hello, awesomeness! What lipstick lover would have the heart NOT to fall in love at first sight? Look at that lovely layer of moisturizing shine encasing a stick of luscious deep rose pink color...sheer genius. And I mean it! This stuff is so toned-down it any shade will work as a my-lips-but-better miracle unless you gunk on tons! But back to the review, the bottom line is that this is a mesmerizing product that is sure to take over as a beauty revolution to be remembered forever. The texture of both is creamy and spreads like a dream. The gloss adds a lustrous gleam of replenishment, while the always-perfect color (in this case, a fantastic fuchsia that is nowhere near as bright as it looks in the official swatch)  unique-ifies your pout with a glamalicious tint. My only bug is that it tastes a tad yucky the second you lick your lips but then wears away. Five stars for Avon!     

 Here it is swatched (R) next to the sample I received in shade Rose Pink.

The sleek silver tube that looks slightly cheap but isn't delicate

enough to be near scratch-prone.

Avon SuperShock Eye Liner

            Hello! Since I have had this eye liner for months now, I think it's time for some (very belated) swatches and reviews! The shade I got in my stocking last year was Metallic Teal, since it appealed to me most of the four shades available. There's a gorgeous metallic honey color called Burnished Copper that I like as well...

Isn't that the cutest little pot of gel eyeliner you've ever seen? Love! The color is very shimmery, and it is almost black on the eyes but in the pot it's a vibrant turquoise. It has a strange consistency, where it is creamy yet slightly gritty and gunky. Oh well. This is a pretty nice liner in the end, so adorable too! I am looking forward to giving Burnished Copper a try!

 The pot open, so you can see what the color looks like in there...

And here it is swatched (L) next to E.L.F. Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in the 

turquoise shade. See how blackish it is?

Avon Moisture Seduction Lip Gloss in Pearly Pink

           Hey again! I have had this lip gloss for a week now and still haven't posted about it, so here you go!

Okay, so basically we have ourselves a screaming deep fuchsia lip gloss. I like the white ribbons in it, and the tube is very sturdy and not scratch-prone. It is really creamy and a sort of jeweltone. I would definitely buy this again, especially since it is such a flattering shade on my fair/medium skin tone. Below is the doe-foot applicator with my hand (unfortunately) in the way, and below that is this gloss swatched next to Revlon Super Lustrous Pearl Lipstick in Softsilver Rose. And I thought that was fuchsia!  

Mark. All the Highlights Soft Glow Illuminator in Magalog 2

               Okay, I admit I could have come up with a way better name for this post, but it is what it is! Anyway, I have my fingers crossed for this Mark.  bronzing/blusher palette called All the Highlights. I first caught sight of it in the magalog (a Mark. catalog) and fell in love.

Since right now the palette is in the catalog, there's really no way for me to swatch or review it. Please excuse the writing around it...this is a picture of it in the catalog! I bet it's one of those Juice Gem kind of things...(click here to see a specific review of the Lemon Sugar flavor) sweet and sassy with great sparkle and meanwhile satisfactory results. The blossom prints on the background of natural skin-toned powder stripes is really cute if you can see it, and look at that bold fuchsia butterfly ready to take off and get glowing! Yeah...another one of my terrible jokes. Look's like it's supposed to turn out on skin as on the model below. Can't WAIT to get this! 

Avon Foot Works Stuff!

              First, sorry for not posting for a while! I'm kinda behind, so I guess I should start now? Anyway, I'm just gonna review a couple (two) foot products from Avon. Enjoy!

Here they are, Avon Foot Works Cherry Ice Exfoliating Scrub and Avon Foot Works Anti-Rub Blister Stick. Below is a sample of the scrub, which was taken in maple-y lighting so it looks pink although it is really bright red. The scrub smells heavenly, like a cooling cherry sensation, and does a great job of exfoliating yet it is a tad sticky. The blister stick has no scent (boo-I thought it would have a nice fresh aroma!) but otherwise really helps to prevent blistering friction. I would really recommend this to blister-prone athletes. On both of the containers is the trademark foot seal...just a footnote! Ha ha! No, actually, that was a terrible joke. Bye for now!

Bonne Bell Sunblush Bronze and Avon Shimmer Swirls Face Illuminator

              Okay, creams and bronzers are two things I strangely like, so things like these can turn out to be a dream for me. Anyway, enjoy! 

 The Avon Face Illuminator in Silver Swirls: Fluffy liquid-cream feel, almost no shimmer and a bare tint that matches my light skin tone. Like this as a sort of foundation.


The Bonne Bell Sunblush Bronze in Natural Tan: Creamy but cold, with a little too much shimmer somehow and drugstore-cheap packaging. This could be a nice body bronzer. 

                                                                            

Avon Matte Nail Enamel in Violetta

             Hey! Today I will be showing you my new Avon Matte Nail Enamel in shade Violetta. I have added some photos for a more visible description...

Review and results: It dries to a velvety matte finish, but begins to dull and chip eventually. Great color, though!

   

Lip Glosses that Rock My World

           
                 Hey there! Tonight I've been testing some of my favorite lip glosses and swatching them for this blog. I decided on my top five, so here they are...
                                                                             

 *The Mark Juice Gems Squeeze On Lip Gloss is smooth and not too sticky, with a slight sparkle. It has the tiniest bit of tint and a yummy scent.


*The Jordana Squeeze n Shine Super Shiny Tasty Lip Gloss smells fantastic, but it is a tad gooey, which I dislike. The hint of peachy-pink color is barely iridescent, but otherwise simply shimmery. 


*The Cupcakes Liplicious Tasty Lip Color is pretty shimmery, and although it shows up light orange on my skin, it is actually a red velvet-y (hence the name!) pink. Very sheer scent, but the product makes up for it.


*The Jane Liquid Lip Color is a bright, bold red with absolutely no glitters. It is very shiny and thick, and looks very similar on lips to how it looks on my skin.

*The Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss is smooth and easy to apply, yet the colors are a little sheer for my liking.

Here's a Fantastic New Year's Nail Look!

             


              Hey! Here is a photo of a great new year's nail idea a came up with:

 Simply paint your nails any color, then cover with a glitter top coat.  The nail polish base is Avon Nailwear Pro in shade Empower, and the sparkle top coat is Wet 'n Wild Fast Dry Nail Color in shade Party of Five Glitters.
