Avon Haul

So I have wanted to get a couple of things from Avon after Pixiwoo used them and liked them in a couple of videos, the product Pixiwoo (YouTube) liked was the Super shock Gel liner in pencil form and I also wanted the super shock mascara, but I didn’t want to pay postage (I really dislike paying for postage especially if I only want a couple of things). Then Avon was offering free delivery!! So I decided to buy a couple of things...

1. I got my mom a True Colour Eyeshadow Quad in mocha latte for Christmas, I am slowly trying to get my mom into wearing make up and this quad has 4 lovely neutrals, light neutral pink, light brown a medium/dark brown and a satin like finish, medium brown with a hint of bronze. I thought these would be great basic colours for my mom and be suitable for her age as they aren't too bright or shimmery, they are quite safe colours. Also the colours are numbered 1-4 and there is a diagram on the box showing you where to put each colour if you where to wear them all together. This was £6 and came in different colours.


2. Super shock gel eyeliner, this is a gel liner but in a pencil not a pot, Pixiwoo recommended this so I wanted to try it. I have the luxe lace version, the only difference is the pattern on the pencil and I got this one because it was £3 instead of £6. I got this in black, nearly everyday I wear black or brown liner on my waterline and I have quite watery eyes and need something that will last, so I hope this does.


3. Avon Kajal Stick in dark bronze, I brought this because dark bronze sounded like a nice colour and it was only £2.50 its a pencil eyeliner which is probably the longest pencil eyeliner I own, it just seems like its longer than my others so should last ages. Not sure what I am going to use this for yet as I don’t usually use pencils on my waterline, so maybe on my lid or under my lower lashes.


4. Tweezers, I needed new tweezers as I use my others as a tool to open things, clean of my nail varnish when I get it round my nail not on my nail, they get eyelash glue on them etc.. So I decided I needed a new pair of tweezers to keep for just tweezing!! These where £3.


5. My last 3 items where a free gift which you get when you spend £12 or more on certain products. In my freebie I got the Super shock mascara, which I was really excited about as I was going to buy this but I removed it from 'my cart' because I have quite a few mascaras I have to get through already. I also got a free nailwear pr varnish in wicked which is a brown shade and lastly I got Spotlight moisturising shimmer gel.


Ill be back to review some of these after I have tried them a few times.
