First impressions on Avon and other products.

So as I am an Avon representative I get to see all the new products and get to try them out as well. I have been collecting Avon products over the last few months and after using these products I thought I would give you my opinion on them.

Oh and sorry for the crappy pictures my phone isn't the best.

Lets start with face products:

Clearskin Professional liquid extraction strip - I was excited about using this product as I get many blackheads around the nose area, but on first using this product I didn't particularly like the gloopy texture of the liquid. It takes around 20 mins to dry which was fine but pulling it off nearly brought tears to my eyes. Once you get over the pain of pulling all the strip off you are left with a smooth nose but the blackheads were still there. I think I will stick to nose strips from now on.

Skin So Soft facial hair removal - Since having short hair I have been more self conscious about the hair at the side of my face, yes I'm fair but it's still noticeable. Put this on a few minutes later I wash it off and have a smooth face. Love this product.

Herbal fresh hydrating face cream SPF15 - I use this daily and I love it, it's easy to apply and soaks into the skin very quick.

Magix cashmere finish foundation in Nude - Love this foundation perfect for giving you a slight glow, if you are as pale as me you know it's hard to find a foundation that doesn't make you look orange. This gives you a lovely summer look and gives you a medium coverage. 
Ideal flawless BB SPF15 in Nude - I'm a BB cream virgin so I thought I would give this a go, applying it is so easy it's like moisturizer. I wish though I got it in a lighter colour as this one is a little dark for my skin but still manageable.

Light Beige Primer - I love this primer it's so smooth and the colour is great as a base or as an eye shadow by itself. It's a small pot but you do not need a lot.

Lip products :

From left to right - Glimmerstick lipliner in red brick, Colourtrend Lolita, Colourtrend Think Fast Pink, Lipstick in Vintage Pink, Lipstick in Camel.
Love all of these products, very impressed with the red lipliner I wear it by itself or for a different look add a different red lipstick on the top. All of these products last so long and are so smooth to apply.

From top to bottom - Glimmerstick lipliner in red brick, Colourtrend Lolita, Colourtrend Think Fast Pink, Lipstick in Vintage Pink, Lipstick in Camel.

Other Products I have tried:

The fuzz around the picture is my cat Lily!!
Barry M Gelly Hi Shine nail varnish from left to right - Papaya, Greenberry, Blood Orange, Prickly Pear. I really do love these polishes the finish is superb. They are so shiny and last a long while without chipping. I want the whole collection.

I am wearing the colour Papaya.

My dad and his wife got me this Rihanna top and it's amazing, a little on the baggy side which I love and would be perfect with either a pair of jeans or with a high waisted skirt.

So that's all I have to share so far, when I get some more Avon products I will be sure to give you my impression on it.

Till next time

May Favourites

5 Days too late I know but better late than never . . .

Lets get to it!

May Favourites:

1. Sheldon: As you all know I got a new kitten about 2 weeks ago and he is firmly apart of our family now. Yes he doesn't pee in his litter tray yet (which is super annoying) and he has very mad moments galloping around the living room but we love him. Almost 10 weeks old now and he is having his first injections tomorrow I hopefully It will be over quick and by 12 weeks he can go and play outside.

To the window, to the wall . . .

He likes to sleep in weird positions as well.

2. Robin Thicke : I've always heard bits of his music but 'Blurred Lines' featuring Pharrell and T.I. is so good and catchy, I never get tired of hearing it.

3. Lonely Island : Every Wednesday they are releasing new music from there new wack album and putting it on there YouTube channel. Click here to go to it. The Album comes out of June 11th.

4. Tennis : I am a huge fan of Tennis and this past week The French Open has been on. I was supporting Richard Gasquet but unfortunately he lost in the last round. I hope someone other than the big top 3 wins this tournament I like it when an underdog comes through and beats everyone. Soon it will be Wimbledon so I will not be moving from my couch for 2 weeks!

5. Angelina Jolie : One of my favourite actresses revealed this month about a brave decision to have a full mastectomy. Read her full article here.

6. New Wig : I have been searching high and low for cheap wigs to wear whilst my hair is growing out, I bought a long black/brown one and cut the fringe a bit shorter so I could see. I mostly wear wigs with hats because I think they look more real especially since I buy synthetic wigs. I have found a really good site called Fairy Wigs and there are a range of celebrity wigs to buy, so of course I am saving up for a Rihanna one.


May Misses

1. Weather : I'm not a big fan of hot weather unless I have gone to a place specifically for that like on holiday. My favourite season is Autumn/Fall and I really like rain I think it looks so peaceful and pretty. So since England has been hot as balls this week I have been moaning quite a bit. Opps! Not Sorry as when everyone is moaning when its cold I don't say a thing as I like it.

That's all I can think of right now
Till next time
