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. 


What juicy things have you been buying lately? Let me know.

Glossybox July 2013 Seaside Splash




























Hello my beautiful readers, I hope you’re all enjoying Britain’s heat wave! Unfortunately I’m not enjoying the heat as much as I would like to, because I hurt my neck on Saturday, and I’ve had a pretty painful weekend to say the least. I received my Glossy the day I decided to do a big stretch and hurt my neck, so that’s why this post is a couple of days late. However I’m feeling a little better today and decided to do this post for you all. Talking of late I mentioned I received my Glossy on Saturday, but just this morning I got my dispatch email……..crazy? Let me know if this has ever happened to any of you. This month the Glossy team have gone with a seaside theme which I think fits perfectly with this lovely weather.  I already knew this because Glossy had a picture on their website, so since then I’ve been extra excited. The box itself is my favourite so far, I adore the design. I collect these boxes and use them for storage but this one will be used for something special. 

So this is what I received in my box this month:

























Anatomicals Spray Misty For Me Facial Spritz - Full size 100ml - £6.00
I’m a big fan of Anatomicals since I reviewed some of their products, the headache balm being my favourite. This facial spritz with calming lavender and refreshing peppermint extracts helps rehydrate and calm skin. It’s great to be used every day, during flights, at the beach, in the city or in the office. To be applied on the face after cleansing or even over make-up to refresh and set make up. I’m looking forward to trying this product because I have another product very similar that I have been using a lot. Quick tip: Keep in the fridge to really make your skin feel refreshed.

Alterna Haircare Bamboo style Boho Waves Tousled Textured Mist – 25ml sample – Full size 125ml - £23.00
Your perfect “Seaside Splash” summer companion! Forget perfectly primped hair, and instead opt for effortlessly tousled, “just back from the beach” waves with weightless mist. It adds texture, volume and a healthy shine to all hair types. I’ve never used a product like this before because I have never felt the need to but I’m looking forward to giving it a try.

Coola Organic Sun care Collection Mineral Face SPF 20 Unscented – 7ml sample – Full size 50ml – £29.99
Coola Organic Sun care Collection is hypoallergic, free from Parabens and packed with antioxidants. It provides complete UVA/UVB protection and fights free radicals, while soothing, toning and minimizing pores. Organic Acai Oil delivers powerful anti-aging benefits, while organic Evening Primrose and Linseed Oils reduce inflammation and balance moisture. I’m looking forward to tying this product because it has lots of benefits, and I love multi-tasking products.

Sleek Makeup Pout Paint Mauve Over & Minx – Full size 8ml – 4.99
Pout Paints are intensive, long lasting lip pigments that are made to be mixed. Use a tiny bead of Pout Paint and smooth onto your lips for mind blowing vibrant colour that gives you full coverage that lasts for hours and dries to a satin finish. Simply use to brighten or add vibrancy to your regular colour. I’ve been meaning to try the Pout Paints for quite some time because I really like the idea of them, and if they are anything like Lime Crimes Velvetines I will adore them. I’m really happy with the colours I received because they are both colours I would wear.

Essie Sleek Sticks – One set from £9.99

I was a little disappointed because I’m not very good at applying nail wraps / foils, and I would rather have got a nail polish. However I will try these out because I like the Pattern.
