Avon ideal shade foundation review

I do quite like this foundation, I don't know if it tops my other favourites though. I have the shade light beige which is my colour when I fake tan or get a real tan (not very likely though.) I got it from an Avon catalogue for £8 .

The packaging is nice and expensive looking and the bottle is glass. The only problem is that the lid isn't very secure but I'm wondering whether it is just mine or whether it is how its made.


It sits nicely on the skin, it leaves a satin finish. It has a light to medium coverage, so some imperfections do show through. It sits very nice on the skin and is natural looking.


The down side of this foundation is that it does smell odd. I can't put my finger on the smell but I really don't like it. But when its on your skin you can't smell it so when I'm putting it on I just don't breath in and then its fine. Also because of the smell your skin may have a reaction if you have sensitive skin.

It doesn't beat my favourite foundations but it is nearly there. I would recommend it if you aren't too bothered about strong smells then maybe you would like it but I wouldn't say it was amazing it is just mediocre.

Sunday scents: Avon little black dress

I have got the body mist today to show you but it also comes in a perfume and a deodrant. The bottle holds 100ml but I do find that body sprays do go down faster than perfume because the smell doesn't stay around for as long. I would describe the smell as sexy and sophisticated. It is quite musky and fruity. I would say that it is one of those perfumes that can be used as a sexy day scent and as a lighter night scent.

I would definetly recommend this scent. You can choose which type you want, body mist, perfume or deodrant. It is a lovely and it smells even better throughout the day.
I hope you enjoyed sunday scents.

Avon colortrend read my lips lipgloss review

I have already done a review on the Avon glazwear lipglosses.To see review click here Colortrend is avons budget range, the lipglosses are very good value for money. They retail for £3.75 but at the moment it is buy 1 get one for £1. I think that the packaging is alright but I do think that it does have a cheapy look to it.
(T to B)Watermelon ice, Orange crush, Start up pink
(L to R)Orange crush, Watermelon ice, Start up pink
I have watermelon ice, orange crush and start up pink. I do really like these colours but I must say that the swatches on the brochures aren't very accurate. The colours aren't extremely pigmented but they do have pretty good colour pay off.
(Watermelon ice)
(Orange crush)
(Start up pink)
Watermelon ice is a icey pink, orange crush is a coraly colour and start up pink is a dark pink they are all really pretty colours my favourite is orange crush. These lip glosses aren't sticky at all I think Avon must have some special recipe for none sticky lipglosses because every lipgloss I have tried from them it hasn't been sticky at all.I would definetly recommened these lipglosses.

Have you tried these lipglosses, what do you think? Also it would be great if you wanted to follow my blog on bloglovin or your google account. There is a button for both on the right that you just have to click and it will let you follow my blog. Thanks!!
