Review : Avon Skin So Soft Winter Soft Body Butter

Hello Everyone,


As I look at the snow covered ground, I am reminded of the need to moisturize the skin. I purchased the Avon Skin So Soft Winter Soft body butter, I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts.



Product Information :


Luscious 24-hour moisturization. Nourishes and softens 6.7 fl.oz.

- Scented with white jasmine & sandalwood
- With babassu oil, shea butter  & vitamin E
- Formulated to protect skin from winter's elements
- Even helps prevent the return of dry skin


Thoughts:

I find the body butter to be thick and creamy.  I noticed that if you use too much it tends to sit on your skin. I liked the scent,  I didn't smell the Jasmine as prominently as I would like, the sandalwood stands out more. Unfortunately I can't say that I noticed it preventing the return of my dry skin.
This is something I would repurchase, as the price is $3.99.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello Everyone,

Happy Valentine's day, one and all. I hope today was a  great day for everyone.

I know that everyone may have plans  this evening so I wanted to bring you a few red lipsticks that I like.  When I think Valentine's day I think bold statement lips, and what other way do you make a statement but with fire engine red .

I tried to narrow down the selections but - red has become a go to color for me so I have quite a few , I did however manage to pick 5.


They reds range from drugstore to high end .



So without further delay let us begin.


From  left to right.

MUFE Moulin Rouge, Mac Kanga-Rouge, Urban Decay F-Bomb, Avon Rich Ruby, Wet N Wild  Stoplight Red (911D)



The swatches on my arm are WNW 911 D,  Avon Rich Ruby, UD F Bomb , Mac Kanga Rouge, MUFE Moulin Rouge

MUFE Moulin Rouge

Urban Decay F-Bomb

Mac Kanga Rouge (LE)



Avon Rich Ruby

WNW Stoplight Red (911D)

I think the ones that really stood out to me were the MUFE Moulin Rouge, Avon Rich Ruby and the Wet N Wild 911D.  I did notice that the  shades all kind of looked the same after a while.

I would say go with the more inexpensive alternative. Once it's on your lips you won't really notice the difference.

Have a wonderful evening.....

Review: Revlon Matte Balm

Hello Everyone,

I hope the  new year has been good to you all. So I have a few things I wanted to review today for you.

I purchased the Revlon Matte Balm in Shamless, Shewy and Elusive.

Product  Information :

Plush matte finish balm that's comforting. Triple butter shea complex

Thoughts:


I find the matte balms to be very pigmented, it is rich and velvety. I don't  find them to be moisturizing although it has the Shea complex.  It has the light minty sent and I feel a bit of a tingle as I am wearing it.

I like the price of these balms- the cheapest I found them was at Target.

I also like the color ranges that they have available, although there are only 10 colors available currently.


Okay so on to the colors,

Elusive - I would describe this as a coraly pink for those of you who know it think Mac Viva Glam Nicki 1 only matte

Showy - This one can be described as bright pink, think Mac Candy Yum Yum

Shameless -  Is a deep plum the closest color I can think of is Mac Smoked Purple

Elusive

Showy

Shameless

As always if this is in your budget, get it.

Enjoy

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick

Hello Everyone,


So today I have a couple of the Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks that I picked up. I have only really worn one so far, but I do like what I see.


Product Information :


Revolution delivers the pigment rich color. It is creamy ,long lasting, hydrating and nourishing. It offers 22 shades that works on any skin tone.


Thoughts:

I find the lipstick to be very pigmented.The color is true to what is in the tube, which as we all know that sometimes is not always the case. I find it to be full coverage, and buildable to make a bold statement.  I wouldn't say that it is long lasting, but it does have good wear time. The packaging, is also  neat, so what we are looking at is a gunmetal tube outside; when you open the tube it has a dark purple.  The only thing I didn't care for was the price, at $22 a pop you have to really consider the one you want.

Okay so on to the colors I got.

So the color I have been wearing most this summer is Anarchy, which a bright fuchsia color

The other color that I purchased was F-Bomb, I got this for 2 reasons the name and the color- this is described as a classic red.

Also as we are heading into the fall months were the darker, warmer lipsticks come out to play.

I got Shame which is described as a deep berry and Venom which is described as a bright plum.

The Gunmetal packaging.

Anarchy, F-Bomb, Shame, Venom

As always if this is in your budget get it.

Avon Clearskin Blemish Clearing Treatment

Hello Everyone,

So today I wanted to talk about the Avon Blemish Clearing 2-in-1 Hydrator.

The product is supposed to help with clearing blemishes on the face while keeping it hydrated.

While I didn't personally see any changes in the blemishes I already had on my face, I noticed that I did not get any new ones. I did also find that my face had a luminous glow to it.


It does not have any SPF, so I use additional face lotion over it. This product was light weight enough where I didn't feel like my pores were drowning.

I would say that if you are prone to breakouts this would be good addition to your routine.

This is available from your local Avon person.

Have a nice day everyone.

Maybelline Colorsensational - Vivids

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend, well I happened to pick up the highly discussed Vivids lipstick. I purchased 3 of them.


Hot Plum- Bright Pink, Vibrant Mandarin - Orange , Brazen Berry- Purple


Thoughts:

I like the price , the were less than $6 at Target. So if you picked up more than one it would be the price of 1 lipstick from the department store.

The pigmentation is awesome, they do stay very true to color. This would be a good lipstick to start with if you are new to lipstick or if you are wanting highly quality lipstick without the high prices.

I also find that the color does last a very long time and the lipstick was moisturizing so it did not feel very drying.

The lipstick has the nice fruity smell, not waxy like some.


If you are able to pick up a couple go ahead and do so.

Hot Plum, Vibrant Mandarin, Brazen Berry

Hot Plum

Brazen Berry

Mandarin Orange

Let me know if you get any of these.

Until next time.
