AVON Products I Still Need To Try- May 2016

There are a bunch of Avon products I would love to try but am too unsure about. Most of them are at a price I personally wouldn't give unless it was something that I'm 100% sure will work. However, I will probably end up trying some of these in the near future if not all and then I will let you all know how it goes.

Perfectly Matte Lipstick
I have been wanting to try this lipstick for a few months now, pretty much since I first saw it in the brochure. I have seen a lot of people compare these lipsticks to the MAC matte lipstick so that's what's really pushing me to want to try this. Why haven't I tried it yet? Not only are these usually £8 each when not on sale, I'm super scared it will dry my lips too much. I already have to exfolliate and moisturize my lips so much before applying matte lipsticks so if this lipstick falls into the catagory of dyring lipsticks then it wouldn't work for me. I wouldn't want to give £8 for a lipstick that may be too drying for my lips, but I will definitely give this lipstick a try if I see it on sale at a more affordable price for me to risk it.

SuperExtend Extreme Mascara
Me and mascaras just don't seem to get along, I have been buying mascaras for around 7 years and still to this day I haven't found a mascara that is right for me. Throughout the years, I have developed a friendly hate towards any type of mascara wand that isn't rubbery, because they make my lashes clamp together like crazy. I absolutely hate it. This mascara has the type of wand that I adore, the type of wand that deals with my eyelashes best. I have used SuperExtend products before but never tried this mascara. Once again, this product is at a pushy price and I will easily give £10 for a liquid lipstick but wouldn't do the same for a mascara because I have spent so much money on them and they hardly ever work for me. But if I was to see this product on sale in a brochure and I didn't have a bunch of other stuff to get that month then chances are I would give this a try.

Ultra Colour Lip Crayon
I have been wanting to try a couple of the colors from this collection for quite some time now but have a lot of doubts about trying this product because I don't like my lipstick creasing... In fact, who does? I also don't like my lipstick looking super shiny unless it's a gloss so I have had my doubts about trying these lip crayons. However, the colors look super cute and they are on sale a lot of the time so I don't know if I won't give in to them soon and just give them a try. These are normally £8.50 each but are near enough always on sale in the brochures, if it doesn't crease or look super shiny then I can see it being worth the price because I feel lip crayons last a lot longer when it comes to usage.

Lip Plumping Lip Conditioner
I have been wanting to try this for about 5 months now. I have tried lip plumping products before from other brands and I hated them, but I have such high expectations for Avon's lip plumping lip conditioners. I feel like I would probably get along with this one. My lips can get super dry in warm weather and in cold weather, living in the UK just says something, no matter what the weather, they are typically dry. This lip plumping conditioner claims to make the lips look plumper and moisturized which is exactly what my lips need. This product is normally £9 but I hardly ever see it at its full price so if the price ever shoots to £5 or under, I might just try it.


Colortrend Fashion Nail Enamel
I really want to try this nail enamel. I have heard quite good things about it apart from the fact it doesn't usually last long, but the colors look so cute. I don't think I can stop myself from purchasing the neutral colors or the minty colors for much longer. These are usually £3 each but I often see them for £1.50 each so they are super affordable even if I then figure I don't like it. The colors are just super cute and adorable and apparently they are super shiny too which I love in nail polish, even though I always put a top coat over it anyways.



FAR AWAY Perfumed Body Spray, Skin Softener & Far Away EDP
I have smelled the little sample they usually have in the catalog and this fragrance smells absolutely lush. I almost ordered it for myself around Christmas time but then fell in love with another fragrance and got that one instead. I have seen this set in the catalog for £12 altogether so it really isn't pushy. I'm very tempted to treat myself to this for my birthday this year. I've been eyeing this fragrance set for so long I think I deserve it soon.




Rare Pearls EDP
In my opinion, this perfume smells so much better than the Far Away fragrance I just previously mentioned in this post. The first time I saw this product was in Brochure 11 2016 so I'm guessing it is still fairly new. The scent has a really fresh floral touch to it, I love it. This perfume is usually £13 but I have seen it for £6 when on sale so I reckon I will wait to finish the fragrance I'm currently drowning in every day and then I will wait until it is back on sale and order it straight away. It smells too heavenly for me not to have it so it is a must have purchase that I can not feel guilty for.



Maxi Tan Tan-Enhancing Oil Spray
I'm going to be honest here, I have never tried a tan-enhancing oil spray before in my life. I have always been tanned on my face and arms (mainly because I hated wearing dresses so those parts were the only parts that tanned when I was younger), but now I'm getting into wearing dresses and want to get my legs to match my arms finally so I don't have to wear tights all the time and look hideous. I reckon I will be giving this ago or a similar product from the collection a go this summer and see how it goes. If it goes wrong, it's back to tights I go. These are normal £6 so it's okay, bargain to me.


Avon Senses Shower Gels
I have tried every Avon bubble bath and shower gel about from the Avon Senses shower gels. I don't like that the names on the catalog aren't specific or obvious for me to know the scent but I really want to try some. We are moving into our first home soon so I will be wanting to stock up on these as much as I can before we move in so they are ready to use as soon as we move in. I have been recommended some scents which I will be ordering this month so I will be trying these and posting my feedback on them. I literally can't wait to have these up my nostrils and be able to tell you all about them... Okay, let's calm down there.

I hope you all enjoyed this list. I hadn't realized how many things I have been wanting to try from Avon for so long until I reached the end of this list. It's shocking. I really need to step up my game and try all of these and let you guys know what I think of the products in the end.

Top 5 Monthly Best Skin Care Products - April 2016

 Welcome to April's Top 5 Best Skin Care Products. I'm not usually one for taking great care of my skin and I know that is super bad. But since being pregnant, my skin has changed a lot and has become a combination instead of being just pure oily like before, so I find it definitely deserves some care now.

5. I started using this for my blackheads back in December, I believe. I was shopping in Savers, saw this for £1 on the side and thought I would give it a try.

I can't lie, I can actually see a huge change in my skin especially when I feel a bit ill or drained and don't feel like doing my skin care routine. You can really tell when I haven't used this on my face. I usually use this every morning and every night but I actually have absolutely no idea how often you're meant to do it so don't trust me on that one.

4. Would you actually consider this as skin care? I don't know, I'm unprofessional like that so lets just consider this skin care for now.

I use this on my skin to take make up off pretty much whenever I use it. This costs me roughly £5.50 online but I'm pretty sure you can get it cheaper in places like Savers.

I would highly recommend this. I have used other eye make up removers that were more up the high end and they were nowhere near as good as this one. This eye make up remover actually also leaves your skin silky smooth. Nice one, Nivea.

3. Okay, so I don't actually use coconut oil much at the moment because I'm too lazy to buy it online and it is way too expensive to buy in high street shops over here.

But what I can tell you is that you can get this one for about £8.50 on eBay and it will actually last you a long time. Whenever I have used this, I have used this on my skin before adding make up and after removing make up and I have also used it to treat my split ends because they get pretty hideous during this time of the year.

I would definitely recommend purchasing this, in fact, I need to follow my own advise and get some next month.

2. I don't usually use many high end products for my face or skin care because I find that most of the time you can find something that does the same for tons cheaper and I can't see anything wrong with saving some cash.

However, I got this in a Glossybox when I first subscribed and have fallen in love with it ever since. It leaves the skin silky smooth and smelling amazing for so long. You can put this on and then have a shower and your skin will still smell like this after your shower.

This product usually costs around £21 but you can sometimes get them brand new and for under £10 when bidding on eBay.

1. And finally this has to be my number one for this month. I haven't been using it for long but have already seen such a huge difference on my skin.

I have used this before adding make up to my face and it makes the face feel so much softer, once dried on the face it also works as a great skin primer and your foundation or bb cream will actually look a lot more natural on the face.

I believe this costs almost £13 but is it worth it?Yes, it is. Remember that Lush also have different facial moisturizers, different ones work better on different skin types so if you have a different skin type to me, this may not do a lot on you.

AVON Shopping Haul May 2016

 I can't be the only one that gets super excited around that time of the month when your Avon goodies get delivered to your doorstep. No one is as excited as I am to show you guys what I got from Avon Cosmetics this month. Just like in every haul I do, I will not be going into too much detail around the products themselves as I want to individually review them soon.

I mainly got things I actually needed for tutorials this time and then felt a little daring and got myself a surprise bargain pack. I was super pleased with everything I got in the bargain pack as well.

I really can't wait to try all the products and let you know how I feel about them.

I have personally always been the sort of person to just use liquid and pencil liners and that was it.

This month I thought I would give this little fella a try. I can't wait to try this one as I have never found these very practical for me to use.

 I have heard some good and bad points about this product so I'm pretty damn eager to try this and let you guys know what I think of it.

I ordered this product solidly because I knew my deodorants would be running out by the time the order got to my doorstep.

I have some expectation for this one considering I already have the perfume spray fragrance so I'm expecting this to smell the same but stick around for longer.

Fingers crossed this one has a scent that stays around more than previous fragrance ones I have used. Watch the blog if you want to find out my opinion about this one.

I have been wanting to try one of these for a very long time but hadn't seen many reviews on this product, this month I felt a little daring and finally added it to my order.

I once again did what I always do, I looked at the catalogue and ordered the darkest one from this collection.

I'm expecting it to be very pigmented, so I'm hoping to not have to use too much product on my lips per application. I'm also expecting this to be super shiny and glossy but we shall see.

I actually ordered this product as more of a try-out. My mascaras have all gotten to that crusty and clumpy point so it was really time for a new one.

 My favourite mascara was out of stock in high street shops so I thought I would give something new a try. I am still yet to try this mascara but already love the look of the brush. If there is one thing I hate about mascaras it's when they don't come with a plastic/rubbery brush. I just think these brushes do so much more than the other brushes, others make my eyelashes look super messy.

 I ordered a make up bargain pack for £8 this month, just as a surprise as I like getting these every once in a while. This was one of the things that came in that bag. I am actually super pleased with it. I haven't tried this on my lips yet so haven't created much of an opinion round it but I have done a swatch on my hand and the color actually looks great.

I'm always a little uncertain about getting the surprise packs in case I get a color that doesn't look good or match my skin but so glad it wasn't the case this time.

This nail polish also came in the bargain pack I ordered and once again I was super pleased with the color I got.

This color is definitely a color I would wear, maybe not as much in the summer as I prefer to have lighter and brighter nails in the summer.

I can't wait to try this nail polish and be able to review it for you guys. I have purchased one of these before so have high expectations for color pay-off.

 I also got these two in the bargain pack I ordered. I know right, that bargain pack was filled with goodies.

I'm really pleased I got these two in the pack, especially with so many events coming up. I love using these as a base for my matching eye shadows because they give such a shimmery glow once you apply powdered eye shadows on top of them. Of course you can wear them by themselves as well, but due to them not being nude colors, I find it more difficult to apply the color evenly and with no harsh edges.

I used to use the nude and golden versions of these before they stopped selling them and then now they are selling them again, I was already tempted to get some, so lucky I got these in the pack I ordered.

This is another product I got in the bargain pack. This has to be the only product I am slightly disappointed with. This mascara comes with one of those mascara wands I have already mentioned I rarely like.

I haven't tried this mascara yet but just from looking at the brush, I can tell it will not be right for my lashes and will make them clump together just like other similar wands always do. So, I don't really have high expectations for this product. Let's see if it proves me wrong when I review it for you guys soon.

I hope you all enjoyed this AVON haul. I know I haven't gone into much detail at all. I was more aiming towards showing you guys what I got, especially as I also want to let you all know about the products in deeper detail individually.
