AVON PERFECT KISS LIPSTICK IN DEEP ORCHID

£8.50 from Avon.

I've been looking for a colour like this for so long, without having to rob a bank to buy a highend lipstick that is. This lipstick is very moisturising lipstick and I would say that it is a satin finish. As you can see from the swatch the pigmentation is great, very full coverage. On my lips, this lipstick lasted about 2 - 3 hours without re-applying. It has a subtle sweet smell in the tube, which doesn't transfer onto your lips. This lipstick comes in 23 shades on the website. I think the packaging does have quite a highend feel to it. I like that you can use the lid of the lipstick as a mirror while you apply on the go! I would definitely buy this range of lipstick again and would totally recommend to any of you!

BACK TO SCHOOL MAKEUP TUTORIAL/TALK THROUGH

I've been kind of stumped about what to blog about recently as I seem to be running out of ideas. After realising that it's nearly time for some teenagers to go back to school, I thought I would do a 'Back To School' makeup look on my cousin, Bella. No way am I a makeup artist, so I was a bit hesitant to call it a tutorial. I am simply writing this to give you guys a few ideas.

What I used:

Base:
Foundation - Avon Ideal Flawless Cream - to - Powder Foundation in Ivory.
Moisturiser - Nivea Oil Free Moisturising Day Cream, review here.
Powder - Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent, review here.
Blush - Fashionista blush in Butterscotch, review here.
The foundation photographed isn't the actual foundation I used. I used Avon Ideal Flawless Matte Mousse in Ivory, but I gave it to Bella before I photographed the items, sorry!

Eyes:
Eye Shadows - Sleek Oh So Special Palette, review here. BeautyUK Palette in No.4 Earth Child, review here.
Eyeliner - MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner Pencil in Rich Brown.
Mascara - Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara, review here.

Lips:
Lipstick - MUA Lipstick in Shade 4, review here.

The first thing I did was to moisturise her skin before foundation. Never skin moisturiser, even if you have oily skin. I then applied foundation, powder and blush. On to the eyes! For the base colour, I used the gold shade (top, 2nd to last) in the BeautyUK palette all over the lid. In the crease, I used the dark matte brown (bottom, 3rd to last) and blended. For the inner corner highlight, I used the champagne shade (bottom, 2nd to last) in the BeautyUK palette. I applied the eyeliner to the upper and lower waterline and applied mascara. Finally, I put some of the lipstick onto my finger and dabbed it all over the lid because I didn't want a bold lip, just something stubble but with a bit of colour. And voila, the finish product!

Like I said, I'm not a makeup artist or am I claiming to be one. I just want to give you some ideas. Thank you to Bella for dealing with me nearly blinding her with a mascara wand haha. She has a facebook page here, where she shows off her special FX makeup talent. I'm hoping to do a photo shoot with her soon, so look out for that!

AVON COLOR TREND KISS N GO LIPSTICK IN ORANGE YOU SWEET

£3.75 from Avon.

It feels like I haven't written a review in years, so I thought I would review a lipstick I have recently got my hands on. These lipsticks are rich and creamy and I would say they last about 2 hours on your lips without applying again. I have the colour Orange You Sweet which is a pretty vibrant orange colour, but you can make it shear if you like. The pigmentation is great for the price. 

I love the smell of these lipsticks! It's quite a sweet scent with a hint of that typical lipstick smell. There are 15 shades of lipstick with a few limited edition shades, I think I have about 2 or 3 of these.

I think the packaging is alright for the price, it keeps out all the fluff and bits when you chuck it in your bag. What more do you want? I think this is a good product for the price. I think the pigmentation and longevity is great. It's also great if you just want to pick up a few summer shades but you don't want to spend a fortune!
