Product Sneak Peek for C14 2013

Here are a few highlights for products coming out in Campaign 14 this year:

Mark Bath & Body collection in Coconut Treat:

This scent is described as "a deliciously tropical indulgence, with refreshing coconut water and mandarin mingling with luscious hazelnut and coconut cream."  Yum!!  I'm a sucker for coconut and citrus...

Big Color Eye Pencils ... Diamonds

 Since some of the original Big Color pencils already contain shimmer, I'm going to guess that these new ones have actual glitter in them, much like the Glimmersticks Diamonds.  I'm curious to see.

Last, but not least...

Nail Art Stickers

 I like subtle nail art.  These are too much for my short tips. :)


That's all for now, check back in two weeks for the next Sneak Peek!

Avon Haul and First Impressions: Campaign 9 & 10

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:

Tips for Tricky Products: Always On Point Eyeliner, Retractable Lip Brush, & 3-in-1 Sharpener

Have you ever purchased a product or gadget only to get home and realize that you weren't quite sure how to make it work?  I'll admit that I've found myself in that situation more than once!  Which brings me to...

SOME [POTENTIALLY] CONFUSING AVON PRODUCTS:

Pastel Rainbow Eyeshadow

It's a colorful eye kind of day...

All products are either Mark or Avon.  Let me tell you what: that matte blue in the Arctic Waters quad has some oomph!  A little goes a LONG way!

Products used:
Eye Brightening Pencil, Lavender Blue
i-Mark Shadows: Whisper, Latte, Biscotti, Lotus, Dragonfly
True Color Quad, Arctic Waters (matte shade)
SuperSHOCK Max Mascara, Black

Blonde pencil and Tabac shadow through brow

Product Sneak Peek! C13 2013

Here are a few interesting things (well, interesting to me anyway) coming out from Avon in campaign 13 (late May for most of us):

Limited Edition Shades!
 

I don't know about you, but I'm all over these new Speed Dry+ nail polish shades.  ALL FOUR OF THEM.  This wouldn't be such a bad thing... if I weren't limiting myself to only one.  ONE!  Also:

This Is How I DIY: mark. Eyeshadows

I thought I'd show you how I keep my mark. eyeshadows along with swatches of each.  This is what the palette looks like:

 It's made out of an old unlined journal I had laying around.  I followed an online tutorial for hollowing out a book.

Quick NOTD

Sweet Pea Dream (two coats) topped off with Seche Vite.  Yes, I have very short nails!
