Avon Simply Pretty Blendable Eyeshadow Duo Starlight Aqua/Silver

Hello Friends!

Today I am going to review Avon Simply pretty Blendable Eyeshadow Duo Starlight.I had purchased it couple of months back on offer.So check my review and swatches and decide if this is a must have or a totally chuck it out stuff!

 I received it in very bad condition! :( You can check the Aqua shadow was damaged.

What The Company Says?

Price- Rs 189 for 1.7 grams, I got this for Rs 149 on offer.

 

My Take On This Product:

There are some three duos in this range out of which i really liked the Starlight one a lot.I have craze for Teal color eye shadows and eyeliners a lot.So when i found this duo on offer I had to get it under all circumstances.This duo comes in a see-through not so sturdy plastic packaging with sponge tip eye shadow applicator which is really helpful.Both shades Aqua and Silver are nicely pigmented, especially the silver one.You need just one swipe of silver one for your eyes.The Aqua shades is a very unique shade as it has golden micro shimmers which imparts a golden sheen to it, it shows duo-chrome effect too.In different lighting the Aqua shade looks different, sometimes more towards teal side and sometimes more towards golden side.Its an awesome shade which will be flattering for Indian skin tone specially.I totally recommend this shade for both wedding parties and evening wear.I have also worn it during daytime.Its a wearable blue shade which will suit Indian skin tone a lot.

Seriously guys check this out a lot.Its damn reasonable and pigmented.The texture of shadow is very soft and you need one swipe with the applicator for applying to the whole lid.These shadows stay on my eyes without a primer for maximum of 3 hours and with a primer for 4 hours +.Its staying power is pretty disappointing, yet for this much price what can you expect.You must have heard na 'Itne paise me itnaich milega' :p

Pros Of The Product:

-Very pretty shades are there.

-Both the shades are one swipe shades, I mean very pigmented.

-These shadows blend like dream guys, so effortlessly.

-The sponge applicator is very useful I use it for applying the Aqua shade over whole lid and sometimes to use silver one at the inner corners.

-Aqua shade has golden micro shimmers which imparts a golden sheen.

-Aqua shade shows duo chrome effect.

-Aqua shade will be very flattering for Indian skin tones.

-Both shades can be paired up to create a party look in an instant.

-Very wearable shades.

-These are so pigmented that you wont need a primer to show their intensity.

-Available at very reasonable shade.

-You need really little bit so quantity is good too.

-You can use both shades with several other shades to create many unique eye makeup.

-Texture is quite soft and blending is awesome.

-Its hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested.

Cons Of The Product:

-Very brittle packaging.

-Only available through Avon Representatives.

-Without a primer staying power is 3 hours maximum and with a primer its 4 hours or so.

-Recently I am getting some chemical kind smell from it. :(

Rating: 4 out of 5

Will I Repurchase it? I have already bought another one for backup :p

My Overall Recommendation: It has a very wearable blue shade which will look flattering on Indian skin tones.Both aqua and silver are highly pigmented.I recommend this duo to all of you as it wont burn holes in  your pocket, very pocket friendly and pretty good for the price.

 

 

Avon Simply Pretty ColorBliss Lipstick 'Mango Mania'

Hello Friends!

Today I am going to review a beautiful Peachy Orange Lipstick from Avon Simply pretty ColorBliss Lipstick Range.Its one of the most happening and rocking shade among all Beauty Bloggers.Its our own 'Mango Mania'.

Price: Rs 99 for 1, Rs 179 for 2.

                    Current Month Super Saver Offer

My Take On This Product:

I had seen swatches of several Avon ColorBliss Lipsticks on my Fellow Blogger Rekha's blog post HERE

This post helped me a lot to decide the shades I wanted for myself.I ordered several shades from this range which I will review in upcoming  posts.

Among all the shades, I liked 'Mango Mania' and 'Whisper Pink' 'Rosy Kiss' and 'Truffle' a lot.

The shade 'Mango Mania' is a bright peachy orange lipstick with brown undertones.This shade instantly lifts up my overall look.This shade is really unique and I would suggest to keep minimal eye makeup when you are wearing this shade.

This lipstick is very moisturizing with a staying power of 4-5 hours including one meal.It fades evenly with time leaving a orangish tint.It never ever gets patchy on my lips.Its has matte finish and requires two swipes for opaque coverage.Its somehow similar to Lotus Herbals pure color Lipstick 'Peach creme' but a little more bright than that.It would suit fair and medium skin tones a lot.I bought this lipstick for just Rs 99.I liked it so much that I immediately ordered another one for backup.I highly recommend this shade to everyone who love peachy orange lipsticks.

Pros Of The Lipstick:

-'Mango mania' is bright peachy orange lipstick with brown undertones.

-This shade is very unique shade which can uplift even a dull look instantly.

-This shade makes one look so bubbly and pretty! :p

-These are available for Rs 99 when on offer, so damn reasonable.

-Quantity provided is 4.2 gm which will last for a long time.

-These are matte lipstick so ideal for both night and day wear.

-Two swipes needed for opaque coverage.

-This lipstick never ever dries my lips.

-Keeps my lips moisturized.

-The new ones have several natural ingredients that keep our lips well hydrated for a long time.

-Wide range of shades are available.

-Would suit both fair and medium skin tones.

-Staying power is 4-5 hours.

-It fades evenly leaving a beautiful orangish tint.

-It never gets patchy.

Cons Of The Product:

-Some how I have seen it needs 3 swipes to cover up my upper pigmented lip.

-The shade chart given in catalogue is very misleading.

-These lipsticks are very soft so don't exert much pressure while applying or it may break. (My Whisper pink Lipstick broke) :(

-When I swipe more than twice, I have noticed, this lipstick bleeds.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Will I Repurchase it? I already have two of this shade.So when next I will need to, I would definitely buy it.

Overall Recommendation: For the price you are getting this lipstick, its a steal.Grab as many shades as possible from this range.You would never ever be disappointed.

 My Hairstyle is getting damn boring! :( Need a change! :p

Avon Trio Eye Shadow 'Midnight Luster'

Hello Friends!

Today I am going to review Avon trio Eye Shadow Midnight Luster which I had bought on offer some six months back.Do read on to know more!

 Price:Rs 399 for 4 gm, Rs 299 on offer.

Shades Available:

-Midnight Luster

-Onyx Quartz

What The Company Says? 

Mix and match three shades to come up with different finish each time.

My Take On This Product:

I was instantly in love the moment I had seen this trio shadow in the Avon brochure on offer.Then I didn't own a single black eye shadow and wanted to have one badly.This trio looked perfect for me to create smokey eyes make up for parties as well as neutral eye make up for day wear.

Its a good trio, that comes in a sleek, classy black casing with a mirror and and eye shadow applicator which is totally useless.There are three shades:

-Matte Black Eye shadow

-Peachy beige Eye Shadow ( Pearl Finish)

-Bronzy Brown Eye Shadow ( Pearl Finish)

Some silver specks are unevenly distributed all over eye shadows which I don't like but it doesn't matter as the specks do not show up on my eyes.The texture of shadows are very soft and powdery so there is lots of product wastage.These are moderately pigmented shadows but buildable.

The peachy beige shadow will suit Indian skin tones a lot, I use this to highlight my brow bone mostly and sometimes mix it with the bronzy brown shade.The black matte shade is quite pigmented too.Overall I am impressed with the quality of the shadow and will recommend it to everyone.

Pros Of The Product:

-Its a beautiful trio which you can use to create both smoky and neutral eye make up.

-It comes with a mirror and an eye shadow applicator.

-The quantity provided is pretty good.

-Reasonable price when available on offer.

-Shadows are moderately pigmented but buildable.

-Staying power is near to 4 hours without primer and 5-6 hours with a primer.

-Texture is very soft and blends nicely especially the peachy beige shadow blends so nicely.

-None of the shades are chalky.

-Though there are silver specks here and there but thank god they do not show up on my lids distinctly.

Cons Of The Product:

-The eye shadow applicator is totally useless.

-I really do not like the silver specks on the black eye shadow.

-Without offer, I find this pretty costly.

-Due to powdery texture, there is lots of product wastage.

-Though in Avon brochure quantity mentioned is 4 gm but in the pack the mentioned net weight is 2.8 gm.

-We can get this only through Avon representatives.

-Contains Parabens.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Will I repurchase it? No I don't think so.This one will last me for a long time indeed.

My Overall Recommendation: Do buy one of these when you find this on offer.

Avon Simply Pretty Mini Mascara-Blue and EOTD

Hello Friends!

Today I am reviewing a cute little wonder product from Avon, its their Simply Pretty Mini Mascara Blue :)

Price: Rs 199 for 3.5 gm, Rs 139 on offer.

Ingredients: Not Mentioned anywhere.

 

 

 

 

 

Its Waterproof!

My Take on Avon Simply Pretty Mini Mascara:

I wanted to try a blue mascara from quit some time as I have seen several bloggers wearing blue mascara, which is quite a bold statement in itself.It suits many people, I like blue liners on my brown hazel eyes so I thought to check out if blue mascara suits me or not.

So when I saw this available on offer in Avon Catalogue for the month of June, I placed my order immediately.It

has mainly two shades:

-Green

-Blue

I have the blue shade which is a vibrant bold sky blue color. :x

Lined my eyes with Faces Pencil Eyeliner 'Navy Blue' and used Avon mascara

Lined my upper lashline with Maybelline collossal kajal as I didnt get my black liner anywhere. :p

Applied mascara on bare eyes!

Look at the size!

Could be removed only with my HG make up remover Lotus Lemonpure.

As this is my first blue mascara, I am quite satisfied with it for the reasonable price I bought it for.Its comes in a small tube packaging, with greyish black cover mentioning Avon Simply Pretty.Shade name is mentioned below the tube.When I used it, I found one- two coats does not give any visible result.I had to apply some 4-5 coats for visible result.The wand is a big one and does not impart any kind of dramatic lengthening or volomising effect.Remember the Street Wear mascara wand??? Its similar to that.The mascara is creamy and texture is thick which dries up in a second.Its waterproof and I found a bit difficult to remove it with my make up remover.It suits my brown eyes a lot but I kind of feel it makes my lashes very stiff,so am not comfortable wearing it for a long time.The quantity provided is very less but will last for long time as I don't wear it much.For dramatic effect, apply one coat of your favorite mascara and then apply it just at the tips of your eye lashes, it looks awesome that way.I think you wont regret buying it for the first time at such affordable price.

Pros of Avon Simply Pretty Mini Mascara- Blue:

>Nice attractive vibrant sky blue color. <3

>This shade adds the extra oomph to my overall look. :x

>It suits brown eyes a lot.

>It never clumps my lashes.

>Very reasonable price when available on offer.

>Cute small tube, will fit my purse easily.

>Its a waterproof mascara.

>Lasts all day long till I do not remove it with a make up remover.

>There is another shade- Aqua green. :)

Cons of Avon Simply Pretty Mini Mascara- Blue:

>Quantity is very less- only 3.5 gm.

>No lengthening or volumsing effect on lashes.

>4-5 coat required for some visible result. :(

>Without offer its bit costly I think.

>No list of ingredients mentioned.

>Packaging is damn boring and tube is so small.

>My lashes feel quite stiff after applying it. :(

>Available through Avon representative.

>Mascara wand does nothing.

>The mascara dries really very fast.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 

Will I repurchase it? No, I may  buy one from Nyx.

Overall Recommendation: Buy it when you get this on offer.Its a nice buy if you want to try a blue mascara for first time.Apply your favorite mascara on your lashes and apply the blue mascara just on the tips of your lashes, the effect I get is superb and yes very gorgeous.
