Nail and Eye

This is just a quick nail and eye look update using a few of the new Cosmic products:

Here I'm wearing Avon's Nailwear Pro + in French Tip White as a base, with two blended coats of Cosmic in Celestial and Radiant.  The gradient was made using overlapping strokes of each polish -- no sponge needed.

And this is my attempt to use Cosmic Eyeshadow in Galactic Green.  The teal shade is from the Arctic Goddess eyeshadow quad, a matte dark teal that blends out to this lovely color when mixed with the Galactic Green:

That's all for now!

Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaign 11 & 12 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.

The Take:
These are all items I mentioned in my Sneak Peek post for Campaign 12.

Makeup Maven Prize Bundle #2!!

So my second box from the Makeup Maven contest arrived yesterday and I thought I'd show you what products came in it!

Product Sneak Peek! C12 2013

Here are a few things that Avon is coming out with in the next couple of months that I'm really excited about:

Baked Eyeshadow Singles!

Now, I realize that baked eyeshadows can be quite hit-or-miss.  But I will definitely be giving one of these a shot... because baked eyeshadows are just so darn pretty!

New Shimmery Glimmersticks!

These look like they might have holographic shimmer.  How cool is that?  And speaking of holographic...

New Nail Polish Shades!

Pardon the mirror-image bottles in the image, I think that sometimes the graphics people at Avon are either in too much of a hurry to notice these small details, or they are doing drugs.  In any case, these polishes appear to definitely have holographic shimmer, which makes the inner girl in me jump up and down.  Isn't Radiant just gorgeous?

A BB Creme?

Yep, it looks like Avon is just now jumping on the BB Creme bandwagon:

...a little late, some would argue.  But better late than never, and also better late and right than early and wrong, so wrong (thinking of some of the tinted moisturizers out there claiming to be BB cremes).

Altogether, pretty neat!  I'll be looking forward to these products, out in May!
