My makeup experiences with Avon have been somewhat hit and miss and there have been some disastrous purchases over the years. However recently there were a few offers that sounded a little too good to refuse and as a curious beauty blogger I thought I'd take the plunge and try some of their eye makeup products. I bought an eyeshadow quad, self-sharpening eye pencil and waterproof mascara for a total $23AUD which sounded quite reasonable - particularly the mascara which cost me a tiny $3AUD.
The eyeshadow quad reminds me of a few old Chanel palettes I've still got in my collection...
Here's a closer view...

I did a quick EOTD to road test these products and I found that while the eyeshadows weren't heavily pigmented they were quite buildable in their intensity, but the darker shades were a little difficult to blend after I'd applied them. As a result I ended up with a harder edged finish on my eye crease than I'd normally wear. However, the eyeshadow stood the all-day wear test with no fading or creasing.
The eyeliner applied effortlessly and would not budge until I removed it at the end of the day - no risk of panda-eyes or smudging with this product. The mascara did a reasonably good job of thickening my lashes, albeit slightly clumpy, and also due to the waterproof formula didn't budge until I was ready to take it off. All in all I wasn't over the moon but I think these are reasonable products, and the durability of wear on these was excellent.
What's your experience with Avon products?
Until my next post.
Vita :)
