Avon Color Trend Kiss And Go Lipstick In Doll Pink

This could be my last ever Avon post :-( 

In a bid to save the company money Avon decided to cease trading in Ireland two weeks ago. It came as a shock to everyone, especially all the representatives as none had been informed and either heard from the website or fellow reps, but whats done is done and we have to move on.

Back in March I posted on three Color Trend Kiss and Go lipsticks I had purchased and expressed how I wanted the Doll Pink shade next. Well by some luck my sister had one lying around at home unopened and passed it on to her beloved sister.

Needless to say I am in love! Its neon and its pink and its perfect for Spring/Summer. Pair it with winged liner during the day or a smokey eye on the night.

Avon Color Trend Kiss and Go Lipsticks

I was at the folks house in Wexford a few weeks back, so with the sister been a Avon Representative the house is full of Avon brochures and surely enough a Avon order was made. 

Colortrend section in the brochure is something I usually just skim past but these lipsticks caught my eye and were on offer for 3 for 5 euro. It would have been rude not to.

What Avon have to say on them ; " Treat your lips to a rich and creamy lipstick in hot stay-true colors that last for hours".

I choose two of the regular line shades and one of the valentines special colors which by the look of the new brochure they have been added to the line but minus the cute love heart design. In my opinion they should keep the hearts the packaging is just to basic otherwise.

Violet Friday; Purple Roses; Beige Star

As you can see from the picture I got a lot more of the Beige Star then the others obviously a mistake in production. First impressions of the lipsticks their pretty good I got about 3 hours wear from each before needing to top up. They are moisturising and do not have any drying effects on lips at all. I wish they were matte as they are loaded with shimmer, but this range is aimed at younger girls and young girls are partial to the shimmer.

I am loving the Violet Friday shade at the moment its just the right amount of purple and pink mixed together, Purple Roses is a nice day shade its just a bit darker then my natural lip shade. Beige Star unfortunately just is not a shade for me , brown/ orange just does not suit my skin tone but its an addition to the kit.

There is a few other shades in the range I want to pick up like Doll Pink and Poppy Love so expect to see them on the blog soon.

My Sleek Eye Dust Collection *Picture Heavy*

I have to bought any beauty products lately so I have had no haul posts or reviews to do so I was a bit unsure what to blog about! Then I realised I have a tonne of products you have never even seen and I may not have mentioned even. One of which is my Sleek Eye Dust collection e.g pigments. I have 11 in total and I grab for them a lot especially for nights out and dramatic makeup.

Pigments are one of my all time favorite makeup product, they are so versatile! They can be used wet or dry, mixed with lipgloss then can b used on lips as well as eyes. Irresdescent shades can be used as highlighter i.e MAC Vanilla Pigment. The possibilities are endless!

I have got all my eye dusts on beautyemporium.ie but unfortunately they are no longer available on the website but they can be purchased on Sleek's website

Now for my collection each. There are two swatches of each the one on left is dry swatch and right is wet swatch.

This is matte, my arm is just full of glitter from previous swatches
