Avon Warm Sunrise Quad and Perfect Nude Gloss

Hi there!  I have a simple and quick product update for you today!  Avon has introduced a few new shades into several of their makeup categories including powder blush, lip crayons, eyeshadow palettes, and lip gloss.  In this post I'm showing off two of them that I ordered recently.

Ultra Glazewear in Perfect Nude

 

 

Perfect Nude is a pale, pinky beige, categorized by Avon as a creme.  It has no shimmer, and it's on the sheer side, so if you have pigmented lips, don't expect it to look like it does in the tube when wearing.  It's a nice everyday kind of color.  Of course, it has the same comfy, non-sticky formula that makes Glazewear so good.

True Color Eye Shadow Quad in Warm Sunrise

This is my favorite makeup purchase by far!  I was really impressed when I swatched it.  Shades 1 and 2 are shimmery and smooth but just a little sheer compared to the matte gorgeousness that is shades 3 and 4.  Talk about a beautiful formula!  They blend easily and have great pigmentation.  I love that no two shades in this quad are too close together, yet all work harmoniously to create a great look.  Here's one of the looks I did with it:

Sorry for the crappy picture quality here -- I actually shot this while bouncing a fussy baby on my hip.  (He isn't as big a fan of makeup as his mommy is!)  I'm loving this rusty look and have worn it two days in a row now!  No liner -- just primer, shadow, and mascara.  Love!

That's all for now!  <3

All thoughts stated in this post are my own, honest opinions.  I have not been compensated to review these products, and all were purchased by me with my own money.

Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaigns 21 & 22 2014

Hi there and thanks for tuning in once again!  I'm recapping my skipped purchases over the holidays... keep reading for more (including a big one not pictured)!

First Impressions: New 8-in-1 Eye Shadow Palette in Not-So-Neutral

I did an in-between order (for me) and look what came in today:

Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaigns 13 & 14 2014

Well, it's not so easy to take photos and blog about my Avon with both a toddler and a newborn around!  There's always somebody begging to be in my arms!  Let's just say that it is an accomplishment right now for me to even get some mascara on sometimes... So let's seize this rare moment that I have to myself and get into what I ordered recently!

Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaigns 11 & 12 2014

Hi again!  It's been a rough few weeks as I approach our little one's due date (any day now!) so I haven't had much energy for blogging.  But I did pick up a few things that I'd love to share with you, so here they are!

Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaigns 9 & 10 2014

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's my most recent haul (another small one -- I think I'm getting better at this self-control stuff!)

Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaigns 7 & 8 2014

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.

I've been AWOL again, this time due to health issues in my immediate family.  Like I've said before, family first, Avon blog ... well, like fourth or so.  I hope you understand!

Here's what I ordered in C-7 & 8 ... plus a mini review on a late-arriving item from C-6:

Product Spotlight: Big Color Eye Pencils

Avon Big Color Eye Pencils.  Long before I had ever heard of eye shadow primer, these pencils were a key part of my eye makeup. They neutralized the darkness of my lids, amped up bright colors, and helped powder shadows to stick around longer and crease less.  I still use them almost every time I apply a regular dry shadow.  New collections have occasionally been added to the line, and old shades retired.  Well, now I understand that all of them are being discontinued, so before they're completely gone, I just want to share with you my assortment!

Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaigns 5 & 6

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.

It's haul time!  Today I have some new brushes and a few other items that have already been out for a little while.  ...And also, it is apparently black-and-nude themed.

New Eye Shadow Quads in Campaign 11

Avon is coming out with four new neutrals-based eye shadow quads in C-11.  While these are still a ways off for me, I'm debating now over which one to get.  Every time I settle on one, another one jumps out and screams, "OOH OOH PICK ME PICK ME!"

What do you guys think -- which one would you like to see me try?  Which one would you get?  If they were bright colors, I know it would be easier to choose... but neutrals are just so versatile.

Catch-Up Post on Products from Campaigns 01-04 2014

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.

Warning: this is the post of a thousand bad pictures.  I decided to try taking pics on my phone instead of digging out my DSLR with the logic of, "This will be easier!"  ...Well, it is easier -- I just pay for that convenience in quality, a quality that I can't see on my phone's screen but is painfully obvious on my computer's.  That being said, onward!

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!

Product Sneak Peek! C22 2013

Campaign 22.  Ah, the holiday items are beginning to emerge... There's so much stuff coming out for C-22 that I'm just not even going to think about it.  I will, however, talk about a couple highlights.

Updated Mark. Eye Shadow Palette

As promised, here is the updated layout and (hopefully) better swatches of my Mark. eye shadows!

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.

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

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.

Savage Beauty Fall 2013 Collection

Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaign 15 & 16 2013

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.

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