Avon Haul!

I'm a sucker for Avon and that hasn't changed this month, I blame all the amazing products and offers they have available. I get so excited and impatient to see what juicy things Avon have brought out every time there is a new brochure. Anyway I thought I would share this month’s Avon Haul with you all, so here goes. 

Opal Top Coat: This top coat seals in nail colour, creates bigger impact on darker shades, It’s easy to apply and can be worn alone or over nail polish. It is packed full of irregular iridescent particles giving any shade nail polish that extra sparkle and shine. You can buy this product online or in the brochure for £2.50 and will normally be £6.00. NailwearPro+ Nail Polishes in Starry Night & Celestial Blue: You can purchase these nail polishes in four shades, Cosmic Trip, Starry Night, Celestial Blue and Fiery Sky. These polishes are packed with shimmer and sparkle and Avon claims them to last up to 12 days. I bought two blue shades because I couldn’t tell the difference in the brochure. Now I have received them I can clearly see that Starry Night is more of a purple shade and Celestial blue is the blue shade. All Nailwear Pro+ Nail Polishes are currently £3.00 and will normally be £6.00. Colour Trend Nail Tip Stickers: These nail tip stickers are a leopard print design and are coloured in white, black and pink. They come in a pack of 28 and have instructions with them. They are currently a special introductory price online and in the brochure at £1.50 and will normally be £3.00. 

Luella Bracelet: This is a unstretched silver-plated bracelet with acrylic beads and has a silver detailed heart attached. I think this is a pretty bracelet that suits my taste perfectly. This is currently available in the brochure for £5.00 and will normally be £7.00. Planet Spa Turkish Thermal Bath Petals: These petals come in a set of eight and Avon claims they leave your skin feeling clean and refreshed. These petals were in the sales booklet for £1.50 and would normally be £5.00. However this item is now unavailable unless it comes back into the sales booklets. 

ShowStopping Mascara in Violet Sizzle: You can purchase this mascara in four shades, Cobalt Cabaret, Turquoise Tango, Famously Green and Violet Sizzle. These mascaras look very bright in the brochure but I have a feeling they won’t be as bright in reality, so I’m interested to see how Violet Sizzle turns out. Fingers crossed I like the result because I have a makeup look in mind.  They are currently a special introductory price online and in the brochure at £3.00 and will normally be £4.50. Glimmerstick Diamonds Eyeliner in SugarPlum: They are one of Avon’s bestselling eyeliners and you can purchase these eyeliners in eight different shades Brown Glow, Black Ice, Sugar Plum, Emerald Glow, Twilight Sparkle, Sparkling Silver, Smokey Diamond and Golden Diamond. They give a pop of colour and have a sparkle of glitter to them, but nothing over dramatic. These eyeliners are currently on offer at 99p each if you buy any other product from the brochure. They will normally be £6.00. Glimmerstick Cosmic Eyeliner in PurpleHaze: You can purchase these eyeliners in six shades Twilight, Silver Eclipse, Midnight Sky, Galactic Green, Blackened Night and Moonlit Brown and they are on offer at £3.50 but will normally be £6.00. Purple Haze is one of two new shades Avon have brought out the other is Starry Night Blue. These eyeliners are in multi-coloured shades that create defined dramatic look. The two new shades are not yet available online or in the brochure, but they will be very soon for a special introductory price of £3.00 and will normally be £6.00.  Kohl Eyeliner in True Black: You can purchase these kohl eyeliners in four shades True Black, Bronze Sheen, Cobalt Blue and Deep Violet. They are formulated with Shea Butter for a smooth application and long wearing colour. On the opposite end of the eyeliner is a smudger to help create your desired look.  These eyeliners are not yet available online or in the brochure, but they will be soon at a special introductory price of £3.50 and will normally be £6.00. 

Perfect Eyebrow Kit in Blonde: You can purchase this kit in two shades Soft Brown and Blonde. I do think Avon should have more shade options available because not everybody has brown or blonde eyebrows. The kit contains smooth wax, brow powder, mini applicator and a decent sized mirror, which makes this a perfect little compact for on the go.  Avon claims this kit to be smudge proof and easy to apply so I’m looking forward to trying this for myself. This product is not yet available to buy online or in the brochures, but it will be very soon for a special introductory price of £5.00 and it will normally be £7.00. Heart Bracelet: This is a stretch bracelet with silver-plated beads and a golden tone heart. It is completely my cup of tea and I find it to be very pretty. This item was in the sales booklet for £2.50 and would normally be £6.00. However this item is now unavailable unless it comes back into the sales booklets.

Drugstore Haul

Hello lovelies, I hope you’re all having a lovely evening. About a month ago I had a huge clear out and I was shocked at the amount of beauty products I own, so that’s why I haven’t done a Haul post for a while. But being me I decided to treat myself, just a little the other day. So this is what I bought.

Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Blue Grape & Lyche I’m a fan of the Barry M Nail polish’s but hadn’t yet had the chance to try the Gelly polishes so I decided to pick some up to try. I painted my nails the shade Blue Grape later that day and I have to say I LOVE the formula, it’s easier to apply, super shiny and seems to be long lasting. I will be trying out more shades soon. Barry M Nail Art Pen I picked this up because I really wanted to give it ago to see how well it works, If all goes well I will try other shades. L'Oreal Lipstick Rouge Caresse Cheeky Magenta I already have one of the Caresse Lipsticks in Fashionist Pink which I’ve been wearing a lot this summer. They give a tint to the lips and are very moisturising; I like these lipsticks because they are like tinted lip balm and perfect to keep the lips hydrated in warm weather. MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner Lovely Lilac I’ve been looking for a lilac eyeliner to create a look I have in mind. The sales assistant recommended this to me and I was wowed by the color pay off and the effect it gave. Glamour & Lash Studio False No real reason for buying these lashes, I just always seem to pick them up when I’m shopping. 

Single Synthetic Hair Extensions in Pink, Black and Purple I buy these from time to time because I like to add a bit of colour to my wigs for make-up looks. They are extremely low quality but are perfect for what I used them for. 

Freederm Overnight Clearing Serum I decided I could no longer use the night product I had been using because I really didn’t like it nor did it do anything for me. I choose this product on whim, I’ve never used any of the Freederm products before so I’m hoping this works for me. Johnsons gentle eye make-up remover I’d just used up the last of my make-up remover and fancied a change, my friend recommended me this one, and I’m so pleased she did. I used this the other day when I had heavy eye make-up on and it removed everything superbly, I will be buying this again once I run out. Nail The Habit I have a gross habit of biting the skin around my cuticles; it’s something I’ve done for as long as I can remember. Hopefully this product will help me beat the habit.

Hair Haul

I was in my local B&M Bargains and came across Bed Head Tigi Dumb Blonde Shampoo and conditioner for a very good price. Its safe to say I was chuffed with my find. The store has other Bed Head products available so check out your local store if you like Bed Head products. I then went in Savers to have a browse at the false eyelashes and came across yet more juicy finds Pro:Voke Professional Hair Care Touch Of Sliver Twice a Week Brightening shampoo and conditioner, for grey, white or platinum blonde hair with violet pigment and Bristows Silver Leave In Styling Treatment also for grey, white or platinum blonde hair. These products were pretty cheap so I'm a little sceptical if or not these products will work. Then I went to Boots and bought two cans of Batiste Dry Shampoo in Original and Tropical. I've never used dry shampoo so I'm interested to see what its like. I also bought Mark Hill Give It To Me Straight Extreme Styling spray and James Brown Photo Fabulous Heat Protection Spray. Last but not least when I was at my hair salon I bought Schwarzkoph BC Bonacure Hair Therapy Colour Freeze Silver Shampoo and the Repair Rescue Intense Leave In Treatment. 

Bed Head Tigi Dump Blonde Shampoo - £4.99 for 400ml

Bed Head Tigi Dump Blonde Conditioner - £9.99 for 750ml

Pro:Voke Touch Of Sliver Shampoo - £2.99 for 150ml

Pro:Voke Touch Of Sliver Conditioner - £2.99 for 150ml

Essential Haul

Morrisons Sensitive baby wipes 80* - 4 packs for £3.00: 

I've already mentioned these wipes in my first empties post, and I have bought these wipes over and over again. They have a great deal of 4 packs of 80 for £3.00, and these packs last me a long time. They are great for removing dirt, oil and all of my make-up even on the eyes. The wipes themselves are a good size and I only need to use two of them to remove make-up. 1 for the brows, eyes and lips and a second wipe for the face. They work out a lot cheaper than buying actual make-up wipes and these wipes are a lot larger. Love them!

Oral B Fluoride Toothpaste 100ml - £1.27:

Toothpaste, I know its boring but everyone needs toothpaste and I was running low. There is nothing special about it. I like the Oral B Sensitive Mouth wash which I also mentioned on my first empties post. So I thought I would try out the tooth paste, and it was on offer. 

Sanex Dermo Moisturising Dermo Oils Normal to Dry Skin Shower Gel 500ml - £1.80:

I've never used this shower gel before but my skin was becoming really dry, and even though I use body lotions / moisturises I thought why not try a moistursing shower gel. I used it this morning and I really don't like the smell but it lathers up nicely and feels nice on the skin. I decided not to use lotion after my shower because I'm full of cold and couldn't be bothered, and I noticed my skin felt really smooth and hydrated and I'm guessing that was because of the shower gel. 

Simple Kind to Skin Bath Cream 400ml - £1.00:

I bought this bath cream for the same reason I bought the shower gel. I've always used fruity bubble baths so I wanted to try something that would benefit my dry skin. I have not yet tried this but I'm looking forward to the time I do. 

Possibility Raspberry Pavlova Bath and Shower Body Scrub. 150ml - £1.00:

Raspberry pavlova body scrub is all I have to say, I was taken. Unfortunelty I used it this morning and I was hugely disappointed. It does smell like raspberry pavlova but this really is not a scrub. It has a liquid consistency so I had to pour it into my hands, and there is no  scruby-ness at all. Its literally like trying to rub an unset jelly into your skin. But I will keep it for bath times simply because the smell is divine. 

Mua Clear Mascara 7.0ml - £1.00:

I don't actually wear clear mascara on my eyelashes but I do like to use it on my brows to tidy and tame the hair. I've never used a proper eye brow gel because I'm pretty sure this does exactly the same job.

Do you use any of these products? Have any questions? Leave a comment. 

Superdrug Mini Haul

Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturiser 100ml - £3.59: Probably my tenth tube, I love this product. Review HERE. 

Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Liner Blackest Black - £7.99: My life would not be complete without ink eyeliner. Its my must have for all make up looks. I've never used this one before, so I'm curious to find out what its like. I also think the price is pretty expensive for a drugstore liner. (review to come)

Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick shade 101 - £5.49: I've been keen to try this lipstick as it has so many positive reviews. Most of the time I only wear matte lipstick because I don't suit shimmery ones. (review to come)
