FOTD: Roses & Chocolates

Hello Monday,

I am so restless. I slept around 3 am and woke 05:55 am, I do not know why. I am not sleepy though.

I just want to show you my look yesterday before attending the Sunday Mass.

Make up Idea - Pink

This photo was taken from my cellphone and once again under my bedroom lamp shade. I really miss the sun. I decided to put it in grid to save space. haha My hair was still wet and I haven’t comb it properly. BF took so long to arrive that is why I had time fixing myself.

Here are the products I used.

  • Tony Moly Expert Triple BB Cream
  • Elf Tone Correcting Concealer
  • Elf Eyeshadow Primer
  • Dollface 72 Vanity Palette – Matte Pink & Brown
  • Revlon Brow Fantasy
  • G-lish Tickled Pink Colour Pot
  • Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick – Off Beat Pink

I am skipping the steps part now cause it’s hard following instructions when reading and besides nobody asks how to do it. hahaha It is just text heavy for a post.

I named this look Roses & Chocolates because pinks and browns goes along very well for an eye makeup AND roses & chocolates in real life SHOULD be given together. hahaha

Although the brown was not totally seen here, I put it on my crease.

Here’s the high resolution photo from my camera.

Make up Idea - Pink Eyeshadow

The concealer and BB cream do wonders for a Sunday chill. Skipping foundation to make my skin breathe more.

Have a good week ahead everyone!

Review on Avon Lipsticks (LOTD)

2012

Hello everyone,

How is your Friday going? Are you feeling the weekend?

Today’s Lip of the Day will be the five Avon Lipstick first featured in my Lippie Overload Post. Hazel and Nicole were curious about these Avon Lipstick that I own so I am giving a brief review for each one of them.

Swatches first.

Avon Lipstick Swatches 

Avon Lipstick Swatches

1. Avon Shine Attract Lipstick – Fuchsia Flare

This is what Anne Curtis is endorsing now.

Avon Shine Attract Lipstick

It’s pigmented and provides enough shine BUT difficult to apply since the color is in the center. I think it should be the other way around. More color bullet than the collagen bullet.

Avon Shine Attract Lipstick Swatch

I should have got the red so that I justified if it will appear like Anne Curtis.

2. Avon Glazewear Lipstick – Juicy Apricot

I got this one when I was searching for a tangerine shade.

Avon Glazewear Lipstick

Very sheer and glossy, it’s a little sticky too. I don’t use this very often especially when my lips are dry, ugh disaster.

Avon Glazewear Lipstick Swatch

It was not even “orangey” when I applied it. I like the packaging though very sleek.

3. Avon 24K Gold Lipstick – Golden Rose

I received a lot of compliment whenever I wear this. I almost consume it, look!

Avon 24K Gold Lipstick

It glides smoothly, smells nice, and you’ll see bits of gold in the bullet. My dad said they used true gold.

Avon 24K Gold Lipstick Swatch

See the gold dust? For me it’s a little metallic. Too bad it’s not long wearing.

3.  Ultra Rich Moisture Lipstick – Fuchsia Fever

Reese Witherspoon was the one who endorsed this product.

Ultra Rich Moisture Lipstick

This is my personal favorite among all the AVON lipstick I had/have. Moisturizing, pigmented, and lasts longer compared to others. It is not matte nor glossy, very creamy. I like the marble detail in the bullet.

Ultra Rich Moisture Lipstick Swatch

It’s a little darker in natural light. My lamp shade last night diffused the color. It’s available it different shades, I like all of them. I recommend this lipstick if you are planning to buy.

4. Avon Simply Pretty Color Bliss Lipstick – Red Blossoms

This one was launch during Valentine last year, buy 1 get 1. I actually melted the other one and placed it on my contacts’ container.

Avon Simply Pretty Color Bliss Lipstick

It is heart-shaped. Pigmented and creamy, I like this lipstick too. You can use it as a stain and will give you a natural looking red lips. I used this on my previous FOTD (click to redirect). This time I swiped it generously.

Avon Simply Pretty Color Bliss Lipstick Swatch

I am starting to think that I should apply my lipstick using a lip brush for more precise application. I am not sure if it’s still available because Jasmin Curtis-Smith launched the revamp of the Simply Pretty Line.

So there you go, I hope I gave you an idea what to get the next time you contact your Avon Lady. I still have other Avon Makeups to review so stay tuned.

By the way if you wish to order AVON you can contact me, I will give 20% discount on all products.

Happy Friday to all!
