that's it really.

could do with finding a good non cloggy face moisturizer, for my sensitive skin, one that does the job tho, as my face is dry.

lipsticks that moisturize but stay on longer than ten mins.

thanks.

I wouldn't buy anything from Avon, sorry. IME it's expensive and doesn't work. I spent loads from a friend's catalogue and it was all pants.

Try Lilylolo.co.uk

Mineral foundations with great coverage and spf: use where needed over your moisturiser.
Great pigments in the eyeshadow, which you use a lippy with a little gloss.

fab.

I use the Avon Solutions Total Radiance skincare range, it suits my skin. I also like the Advance Techniques shampoos and conditioners, plus the lotus shield which stops your hair from going frizzy and the heat protecter spray for when I straighten it. A lot of the body washes etc smell a bit sickly, but I like the Signature Silk ones. I don't personally rate their make up, it is a bit too heavy for me, but I like their nail varnishes.

I think the foot scrub and foot cream is great. Haven't really tried any of the other stuff only ever use Clarins on my face

I'm told the eye cream is good, can't remember what its called, but it comes in two parts. I had a catalogue dropped off for the first time, placed an order for some and she hasn't turned up so can't vouch for it.

The best eyeliner I've (and a lot of beauty bloggers) ever used is Avon's supershock gel liner (it's a pencil tho) - honestly it's awesome, give it a google.

I like their lipstick, I have a bright pink that is moisurising, it's a mixture of strong pigment and moisturiser that makes the lipstick bullet itself look funky, almost ribboned. Can't remember the name though!

Avoid the foundations. And the mascaras, and the eyeshadows...

Aw I liked the mascara (can't remember which one it was though...) and any I gave away for presents got good feedbck.

I always liked their skincare range - they segregate it by age range but basically you get a serum, moisturiser and eye cream in each. I used the 40s range for ages because it was on offer more often than the 30s range and my skin did quite well off it.

Glimmerstick was good. Some of the perfumes are good (ask for a tester).

Also do good deals on suncream and I'm currently using the aftersun with shimmer and get loads of compliments on it!

The eye cream is the clinical eyelift thing.

Nailvarnish is good.

The only thing I don't rate is the eyeshadow as it doesnt last.

My DP also likes the bubble bath, shower gel, shampoo and mens range.... not sure what that says about him!

Tbh I've only used a couple of their mascaras, supershock and curlacious, and although the Supershock wasn't bad I've had a lot better from Superdrug and Boots that cost the same amount or less.

I have some glimerstick eyeliners too and really like them as well.
