Soft Brown Eye Using All Avon Products

I've been meaning to do a just Avon tutorial for a while and it's finally here. I decided to go for something simple rather than something overly complicated, and by using neutral colours, I wanted to ensure it would suit everyone. 

Avon itself is a brand sometimes neglected by the beauty community as there's still an old woman/granny association it has. Over the last few years, the brand's become much more hip and really has produced some stellar products.

Because my mum's an Avon rep, I myself have purchased many, many Avon products and here in this tutorial, I use many of my favourites! :)

Avon Products Used:

Mocha Latte Quad

Super Extend Mascara - Black

Moisture Seduction Lipstick 

Illuminating Calming Effects Foundation - Ivory

Diamond Shimmer Pearls

Illuminating Face Pearls

Brow Gel (can't remember the exact name right now but I'm sure I say in the video!)

Winter Solutions Face Cream

Anti Blemish Concealer

Regina Spektor 'Us' Inspired Makeup Tutorial

I've been on a roll recently! The great thing about half term is that I have no excuse for not making videos, so I've gone to town (not literally, of course) and made as many as I wanted. Bit naughty as I still haven't done my coursework but oh well. It'll be worth it in the end!

This look was inspired by the gorgeous Regina Spektor who is one of my favourite artists! Not only is she multi-talented but I love the way her songs tell a narrative and, to sound silly, really make me think. 'Us' is definitely one of my favourites!

Not much else to say other than here's a product list:

Loreal Super Liner - Black Crystals

Loreal True Match Foundation - Ivory Rose

Avon Super Magnify Mascara 

MAC E/S - Vanilla, Charcoal Brown, Mystery

Clinique Lipstick - After Party

Body Shop Gloss

Elf Mineral Blush -

Nicki Minaj Moment 4 Life Inspired Tutorial

Please ignore the horrific picture!

I know I look nothing like Nikki Minaj but this was me attempting to replicate one of the looks she wore in the Moment 4 Life video.

I did it using all high street/drug store products so it's as affordable as possible. 

Hope you all like it!

Avon Moisture Seduction Lipstick - Nude Perfection

Nude Perfection is an apt name for this lipstick. Often, Avon products for me can be hit and miss, and though their lipsticks are normally pretty good, I have come across a few clangers in my time. Not in the case of Nude Perfection though. This lipstick is one of Avon's best and takes the title of the best Avon product of the year (so far)! Well, for me anyway.

Avon describes their new lipsticks as a 'rich lipstick intertwined with ribbons of hydrating moisture'. Basically, this is fancy talk for a lipstick that moisturises as well as adds colour.

Here you can see fairly easily the so-called moisture ribbons. Looks pretty cool, right? :)

I was pretty intrigued by the idea as I seem to suffer constantly at the minute with the dreaded dry lips, plus the promo shots looked pretty appealing in the colour pay off stakes. 

As my mum's an Avon rep, we also got sent a sample lipstick which is now lurking around my lipstick container - remind me to review that one (Red Kiss) at a later date. I loved the colour payoff but decided to go for a colour that would be practical for daily wear, aka not too bright that I feel self-conscious wearing it.

Here's a (admittedly dark) picture of my lips without the lipstick:

And here's a lovely shot of me wearing it:

As you can see, it really is a lovely nude! I think the picture is a little deceptive, not really showing how pigmented the lipstick is. Nude Perfection is a great, suit all colour.

The formula itself glides on smoothly, doesn't settle into lip lines and doesn't seem to bleed (yes, at eighteen, I sometimes suffer from the dreaded bleeding). It's also quite moisturising which is great for winter and summer! Another plus side is the SPF 15 if like me you tend to suffer from burnt lips (I swear every part of me burns. Come summer, I will be the walking lobster). 

The only downside to this lipstick is that the staying time isn't as long as I'd like, but then I think that's eclipsed by the great formula and colour range. Whilst not as many as some brands, the ten colours cater to everyone's needs - there are neutrals, pinks, reds, browns and berry colours.

To conclude, I think this lipstick is going to become one of my makeup staples as it's a great little product at an affordable price. What more can you ask for? 

Avon Ultra Colour Moisture Seduction Lipstick is available online and through an Avon rep for £8.50. However, Avon are pretty good at deals and currently, the brochure price is £6.00
