Spring Avon haul.
8:48 pm
Hello Bloggerbeans,
I have been busy, busy, busy! I have now only 4 weeks until my first GCSE exam! (Oh no!). With my Drama practical exam done and dusted along with my Spanish, I now have to have my English speaking presentation learnt and ready for tomorrow. At least I am talking about something I love..... BLOGGING! Onto this weeks post....
You guys seem to love my Avon Hauls so back by popular demand is a spring themed Avon Haul!
For any of you who don't know what Avon is it is an independent company which sells makeup which you can order through your local Avon representative via their catalog which they leave outside your door. Ordering from Avon is such a relaxing experience as I sit down with their catalog in one hand and a pen in the other pondering over new releases in case there is something that catches my eye. Once you have decided if you want to order anything you leave the catalog with your order form outside your door and it magical disappears by your local Avon representative who sends off your order and in a couple of weeks delivers it all to you. It's as simple as that!
This Avon haul was a little more Jewelry based. I saw this set of two bracelet and couldn't resist myself! They look so simplistic and are rose gold (I think) which made me very happy indeed. The fact one of them says 'Happy' will be a little reminder for me to try and find the happiness in each day which I plan to do as inspired by Louise Pentland (Sprinkle Of Glitter). The 'Katrina sentiments bracelets' were in the clearance sale for £3.00 so are no longer being sold to my disappointment :(
My second Jewelry purchase was this gorgeous 'Aubin Stretch Bracelet' in Gold and Chestnut brown. Like the other bracelet, this was also in the clearance sale at £5.50 so is not currently being sold. This bracelet has now become one of my most worn jewelry pieces along with The julienne pendant which features later on in this post.
In my last Avon haul I talked lots and lots on how much I adored Avons Cherry blossom scented spritz which you can still buy. Well they only went out and made a limited edition shower gel which smells EXACTLY like the spritz. It is like heaven in a bottle and a bargain at £1.25! you can still get this limited edition version but you need to be quick as its the last chance you can before it won't be available to buy.
Onto my first beauty product which was the 'Ultra colour Lip Crayon' in Risque rose which cost £5.75. I loved the colour however was a little disappointed with the product as a whole. I found it very drying on my lips and it didn't stay on very well. It may of been because I had slightly dry chapped lips already however I tried applying again with my lips in better condition but still had the same problem. For me it wasn't worth buying.
When I ordered all these things, Avon had a deal on which is unfortunately not on now which was if you spent over £5 on certain lip products you could order a free makeup bag with a lip-gloss and nail varnish in complementary colours (I went for 'Natural Nudes'). Even though you can't buy the makeup bag I think you can get both the lip-gloss and nail varnish separately however they don't say what shade they are in which is a bummer but if you search hard enough you will probably be able to find them.
This lip-gloss is amazing and is definitely a purchase I would make in the future and feels so luscious on my lips. The lip-gloss is in a dark coral colour. (UPDATE: I found out the exact shade and it is 'Nude muse')
If you know me by now you will know that I am not a lover of nail polish however I tried out this Nail Pro+ nail polish in 'Naked Truth' and found it was so easy to apply and to take off. The Nail Polish is gel like so gives a nice shine. I plan on painting my Nails more often when I go to college as the rules will be more relaxed and I plan to start off with this colour as it is in a subtle shade.
Nail Polish Tip: If you want to speed up the drying process you can use your hair dryer on its coolest setting and blow it over the nails until dry. It saved a good 5 minutes of my time!
This pendant is one of the newest items in the Avon Catalog and I have worn it a few times already including for my 16th Birthday Which you can see me wearing HERE. 'The Julienne Pendant' was £7.00.
My last Avon item is also another new item which I was curious in trying out. Being someone with a few stretch mark scars here and there and other scars from being the most clumsy child ever I decided in buying this in the hopes that it will fade some of the atrocious ones which are horrible to look at. I have noticed a little difference in the appearance of them however I will stick with it to seek the full benefits of it. 'The Skin So Soft Tissue Oil' was £4.00 and was the cheapest tissue oil on the market compared with the leading brand bio oil.
Sorry if my posts start to become scarce and few between. It will be because of exam prep which will mean I won't have enough time to do long time consuming posts like these ones (Even if they are my favourite to write) I will hopefully be back later this week for another post *fingers crossed!*
