Makeup Maven Prize Bundle #4!

Note: I received the items mentioned in this post as part of a prize package for my placement in Avon's Makeup Maven contest in 2012.  All thoughts and opinions stated are my own!

I got an exciting package in the mail today!!  This is the fourth Makeup Maven bundle (only one left after this, so sad!) and it is a good one!

Inspired by Burgundy

I loved Kaley Cuoco's burgundy eyeshadow for the 2013 Emmys the other night. Gray, brown, and burgundy are such lovely autumn colors.

Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaign 20

Note: I submit my Avon order every other campaign.  This means that I receive products from two campaigns at once, but half as often as the regular timetable.

Here it is, finally!

Special Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaign 19

This post was originally much more descriptive -- however, my Blogger app deleted all my hard work!  I didn't feel like writing all that again. :(

Although I normally order only every other campaign, this one was special because this is the one in which we can order items from Avon's new True Color line!  It took a lot of restraint (lol!), but I managed to not go crazy with my order and only pick up a few things that I knew I could use (*cough* wanted really badly).  Check it out!

Just For Fun!

I got inspired by a Ken Pao pin I saw on Pinterest today and dug out my Mark metallic eye shadows...

I went a little overboard with the Lava, but it was fun!

Quick Nail of the Day

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram then you know that I did a little experiment last night on my nails, taking inspiration from the Fall 2013 Rebecca Minkoff show.

Avon Extralasting vs. Maybelline Color Tattoo

Yesterday I started a comparison between Avon's Extralasting Eye Pencil in Shimmering Sand (which I posted about in my Campaign 15 & 16 haul) and Maybelline's 24Hr Color Tattoo in Barely Beige.

Purple Pop Eye Shadow

If you follow me on Twitter, then you may have already seen this pic; I thought I'd post it here too so I can list the products used.

(All products are Avon or Mark.)
Brow: Ultra Luxury Brow Liner in Dark Brown and Mark Wet/Dry Shadow in Tabac
Shadow base: Big Color Eye Pencil in Lavender
Shadow: True Color Eye Shadow Quad in Purple Pop
Liner: Always On Point Eye Liner in Black
Mascara: Mega Effects Mascara in Black

That's all for now!

Product Sneak Peek! C20 2013

Goodness, I'm not sure where to start!  Avon has all kinds of interesting goodies coming out lately.  I think I'll begin with their first seasonal makeup collection since the release of Avon's True Color Technology.

Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaign 15 & 16 2013

Not a huge haul this time around and a little late (sorry!) but here's what showed up on my doorstep last night:

Speed Dry+ in Clear to top it off.

 

Have a happy 4th!
