This is wonderful for two reasons. One, the applicator. This applicator allows you to draw a fine or heavy line perfectly, regardless of how well or poorly you may do with liquid liners. Secondly, the formula itself is amazing. It creates a dark, gorgeous line that stays on. All day. Through whatever happens. (Then again I don't cry upwards lol). But really, the combination of the formula and the applicator makes this a must have. This is one of those items, once you have tried it once, you can never go without it.

This base is the base of all bases. Swipe it on, swipe on ANY mascara after and you will be batting birds away from getting caught in your eyelashes. It is THAT good. Great to pull up tiny hidden lashes, or ones that are growing back out, or literally almost doubling the length and volume of your normal-length lashes.

I use smolder everyday, as well as when I am completely dolled up. This liner STAYS ON in your inside lower lid. Lately I have been stretching the line into the inner corner of my eyes, and that looks amazing. With a gorgeous shadow, a great mascara, and a good liquid liner for the top lashline, you can really pull off hours and hours without a touchup, and look amazing. The kohl is such a beautiful, deep black. It will make anyone's eyes look gorgeous.

This is a good mascara to use for volume, length and definition. You can wiggle it into the base of your top lashes and lightly touch the bottom ones with this malleable brush. It gets the corner lashes pretty well also. The only thing that I do not like about this mascara is that it really doesn't let you keep layering it. I like to have very thick lashes that make it so I can barely see when I look up. This is a good mascara if you are just running around by yourself doing errands.

I tried hard to love this cream....the texture, when you first feel it, seems as though it would sink deep into your skin and assist with firming, moisturizing, and perhaps (hopefully?) doing a little something for the fine lines. NO. This does not sink into the skin, the more that you tap it in it just gathers in one place, and it makes the eye area FEEL more dry, and it definitely also LOOKS more dry. I leave it at my desk at work, and try it randomly, hoping for it to somehow transform into a beneficial eye cream. But no. After I use it, I have to put vaseline under my eyes to ward off the awful way my undereye looks after this cream.

The mascara wand is not great for anywhere except the corner lashes, and the bottom ones, to a degree. I think this would be a great addition when you are using another mascara for the finishing touch. But that is about it. I barely even use it for that.

This is a foundation that definitely promises a lot. It does not deliver. The foundation is a lot more cakey than you would expect with the claim that it is invisible. It does not look good at all. I applied it without moisturizer underneath, as well as with moisturizer underneath. Regardless, the result was the same....disappointing. I would use this if I had a night date which would not entail being in anywhere with bright lights. I think it does cast a nice glow over your face at night. I do have to admit, though, that it feels very good on your skin, better than any other foundation I have ever used, from MAC to Maybelline.

Still up in the air about this one. It seemed to fill in lines in a glorious manner when first used...but as time goes on it doesn't seem to do much. There is an immediate difference for about a couple minutes then things seem the same. I do like the spf especially because those are the areas I do not want wrinkles to deepen and the shimmer also draws attention away...but I do use the solutions eye cream over it as well now.

This is a run of the mill "volumizing" mascara. Have to pile it on, doesn't really add volume unless you keep, keep, keep applying and let dry somewhat between coats. It isn't too bad as a base mascara if you are applying another mascara over it. But definitely would not wear it without another mascara, which basically defeats the purpose. The claim is definitely unsubstantiated.

My mother would use Avon when I was tiny and her skin has always been amazing. I went through a stint of selling it, and now she currently does. I tried the samples of this and was pleased. I do advise to use about 10 minutes or more after washing your face if your skin is sensitive....This WORKS. I try to use it every night but definitely do NOT go a night before a big soiree without it! Truly plumps up the lines and any creases. A huge, unmistakeable difference.
