I've regressed to my childhood, pouring over the Avon catalogue. Only nowadays the iconic catalogue can be viewed online. Oh how the times have changed....
I posted that Avon had some fabulous offers in the clearance section. And here is what I got. Firstly, I picked up 2 of the SuperShock mascara's, I didnt bother opening these. Everyone has seen them before. They are in limited edition packaging, but I don't care about that either. I like the mascara and it was a mere £2.75. They had to be mine.
Next to tumble into my basket was the Smooth Minerals lipstick and I chose the colours Crystal Coral (top) and Apricot Glow (below). They both appear much more vibrant than the swatches suggest. However, I'm yet to try them so I cannot report if they a true representation or not. These have been reduced from £8 to a purse loving £3.

The last item is an eyeshadow quad that was on offer for £2.50 if you spent a tenner. Obviously, I took advantage of that. But I will show that little beauty in another post once it has been tried and tested. Not least in the fact that I deleted the picture somehow and cannot get it back, no siree!
I'm really loving Avon and their products at the moment. Any fab products that you think I should road test?
Nice haul, the gel liners look fab - would love to see them on the eye??! x
ReplyDeleteI also have Crystal Coral and Apricot Glow but I don't give them enough love )=
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in SuperShock mascara but I'm not a rep anymore and I have too much mascaras to use up first x
Bargain Central! I keep meaning to buy some bits from Avon - I rate their facial scrubs! xx
ReplyDeleteWow! What a bargain :O I often peep over at the avon website, but never take the plunge! xxx
ReplyDeleteI have got some lovely Avon stuff lately too. I have one of the gel liners and I like it very much, I also really like their Perfect Wear ExtraLasting Lipstick. I picked it up a while ago in a sale but recently rediscovered it, it doesn't dry my lips out and I get a decent wear time from it. Nice satiny finish too.
ReplyDeleteHe he I used to love looking through my mom's Avon catalogues! The US ones always had really good lip balms in loads of flavours especially ones at Halloween and Christmas. I guess that's where my love (addiction) started.
ReplyDelete@Debbie - will see what I can do! x
ReplyDelete@Gaby - will post about the SuperShock mascara if you are interested. What do you think of those colours? Do you love them? x
@TBBB - I haven't tried a scrub from them. Annabella might have though! Might give them a whirl. x
@Victoria - I think I'll take a look at those lippies. I'm seriously into Lazy Girl Beauty!! LOL x
@Annabella - that bloody catalogue has a lot to answer for!! I remember those themed goodies too! I wonder if they still do those. Time will tell!! x
