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 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:

>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.

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.
