Avon TRUE COLOR Eyeshadow Quad

Long lasting colour

I have the 'Romantic Mauves' quad, and I really like it. The colors really suit my coloring (dark hair/fair skin), and it stays put for a long time without creasing. It scores extra points with me for having a little chart on the back of the compact to show you where to apply each color. I no longer wonder why eyeshadow compacts have more than one color in them! If, like me, you don't wear make-up all that often, and don't want to spend a fortune on it, then this is a great choice.

Avon ULTRA COLOR RICH Lipstick

My favorite!

I have several colors of the sheer lipstick. they are great for day/workwear, as they look fresh and aren't 'vampy' the way some strong pigments can be. The colors are long lasting, and the best thing about the sheer version is that it isn't obvious when it starts to rub off a little. You don't get those very pale bare spots. They do a great job of keeping your lips moist, and are such a reasonable price too!

Avon Plump Pout Lip Gloss

A Great Gloss.

This is a great gloss, which really lasts, unlike most other lipgloss products I have tried in the past which seem to come off within minutes. A few moments after putting it on you get a pleasant tingly feeling, and your lips are moisturised and glossy for a good long while after application. I was tempted to give it a ten, except that I've never noticed the plumping effect they claim it has. I love the smell though; a little bit like peppermint candy. For some reason it just reminds me of christmas, speaking of which it would make a great stocking filler!

Avon Foot Works Double Action Foot File

Not very robust!

This product works pretty well, and does a decent job of removing rough skin if you use it regularly. The plastic handle is not very sturdy though, and mine snapped pretty easily. I can still use it, although with some difficulty, and it removes callused skin well if used after having a bath or shower. If you have real problem hard skin you will need a more robust product than this though.
