Avon Mega Effects Mascara

Pros:

• Shades
• Brush
• Density
• Colour
• Long wearing

Cons:

• Steady hand for bottom lashes

Aimed at:

• Anyone

Cost:

• £10, offer on at the moment with a concealer, eyeprimer and eyemakeup remover free

Personal experience:

I have this in blackest black and I love love LOVE it! I love the ingenious brush on this and the blackness of it isn't exaggerated when they say blackest black. The little bristles really work into the lashes giving you volume and length. I have nothing bad to say about it really except you need a steady hand when dealing with the bottom lashes other than that it's the perfect mascara and would like to see a waterproof version. I would definitely repurchase and hope other brands come out with a similar concept. I'd love to see how this will revolutionise the mascara world. Again, I LOVE THIS MASCARA and would recommend it to anyone. Who can count how many times I said love?

Avon Glimmersticks Eye Liner

Pros:

• Shades
• Glides on smoothly
• Retractable 
• Waterproof

Cons:

• More colourful shades

Aimed at:

• Anyone

Cost:

• £6 usually but £3 on offer

Personal experience:

I have this in starry night blue and I love it! The shade of blue is just amazing, it glides on smoothly as a liner and you can even smudge it out as a base for your eyeshadows or even for a smokey effect. It's such a versatile product and for the price you can't really go wrong. I really want to try the other shades and I would definitely buy it again.

Avon Ideal Flawless Concealer Stick

Pros:

• Okay coverage
• Thick consistency
• Oil-free
• Glides well

Cons:

• Can be chalky
• Not for problem skin

Aimed at:

• Everyone

Cost:

• £7

Personal experience:

This product came free with the eyeprimer and eyemakeup remover when I bought the Avon mega effects mascara. I got it in medium, it had a thick consistency and was quite chalky and exaggerated dry patches. I'd say moisturise well with this concealer especially for those with dry skin. It had okay coverage but wasn't excellent. It feels nice and glides well but would I repurchase? I don't think I would.

Another hairstyle! What do you think?

Avon Supershock Vivid Liquid Eye Shadow

Pros:

• The colours

Cons:

• The colour payoff
• Too watery
• Need to layer to get any type of coverage
• Rubs off very easily even once it has set

Cost:

• £6 but £3 on offer

Personal experience:

I have to say I'm disappointed with this product. They're so watery that you can't get a decent coverage with it, you have to keep layering it on to be able to get a decent amount and to take a swatch I literally had to pour it on to my arm. I bought two of the shades, one in mauve/purple and antique bronze at £3 each on offer. It is not 'vivid' at all and I will not be repurchasing.

Neutral eye makeup

What do you think of this eye look?

AVON eyeshadow primer

Pros:

• Silky feel to it
• Lightweight
• Mousse textured
• Good for a natural look

Cons:

• Dries too quickly
• Doesn't last as long as I would have liked
• Not worth the price

Aimed at:

• Oily eyelids

Cost:

• £7

Personal experience:

I was given this primer as a gift when I bought the Mega Effects Mascara along with a concealer and an eye makeup remover. I'm not too sure about this primer, it works quite well with a simple neutral look but I don't think it would with a heavier eye makeup, I much prefer MAC's painterly and also with AVON's eyeshadow primer you have to be really quick with blending as it dries so fast. I've seen better packaging and have tried better eye primers and I don't think it's worth the price. Unfortunately, I will not be repurchasing.

Hydraluron Moisture Booster (Skincare)

Pros:

• Applies very smoothly
• Very lightweight
• Contains hyaluronic acid
• Only a small amount is needed
• Retains hydration
• Helps prevent against premature ageing 
• Packaging

Cons:

• The price
• Dries tacky

Aimed at:

• All skin types

Cost:

• £24.99 for 30ml

Personal experience:

This product is a hydrating serum and is applied before moisturiser and should be a staple in any skin care routine. This serum retains moisture in the skin and must be used after toning and before applying moisturiser. This is perfect for dehydrated skin. It contains hyaluronic acid which is a hydration ingredient that can hold up to 1,000 times it's weight in water. You only need a small amount to apply over the face, the serum itself dries quite tacky but you'll see the difference after putting on your moisturiser and makes the perfect base altogether for your makeup. It is an amazing product which will last you quite a long time despite the small amount that's given and it's something that I would repurchase. I'd like to try Aveda's hydrating mask next which is a more intense version of this product.

BBU FACE PALETTE!

Review coming soon!

Bobbi Brown Corrector

Pros:

• Good coverage 
• Quite creamy
• Erases dark circles
• Brightens
• Contains skin conditioners
• Preps before concealer
• Lasts all day
• Suitable to use with either a brush or fingertips

Cons:

• Price
• Dries a little too quickly
• Needs to be set with powder

Aimed at:

• Under eye darkness

Cost:

• £18.50 for 1.4g

Personal experience:

I like the consistency but if you don't set it with powder the product will set into any fine lines. Also, you must prep the skin by using a hydrating under eye cream, then applying the corrector to neutralise and for an even better finish add a skin tone concealer or one that is a shade lighter to brighten up the area even more and then set with powder. This tip with moisturising the under eye area is especially for people who have dry undereyes. Just be sure to apply the product in areas that are needed and if too much is applied it will look cakey and unnatural. I think this product is perfect for those who have darkness under the eyes and need that extra bit of coverage without that ashy look that usually comes with concealing and I would definitely repurchase. Look out for my review on the BBU face palette which has all the correctors, concealers and stick foundations, coming soon!

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick

Pros:

• Ideal for people on the go
• Easy to apply and blend
• Long leverage 
• Quite creamy 
• Suitable for most skin types
• Glides on smooth
• Easy to use with fingertips
• Good shade range

Cons:

• Price
• Doesn't come in a pump
• Spf may cause flash back

Aimed at:

• All skin types, except very oily

Cost:

• £28 for 9g

Personal experience:

I have the shade warm beige 3.5 and it's lovely to use all over the skin or even in specific areas that need coverage as long as you have a correct colour match which can be done at your nearest Bobbi Brown counter. You can even apply a light layer of foundation and use this to go over any areas that need more coverage. I've personally tried this on myself and a client and was very pleased with the result. You may need to use a powder with this, a light dusting on the T-zone but that all depends on your skin type and what you're comfortable with. I would purchase this again and am in fact waiting for the BBU Face Palette which has this foundation in it. I'll be sure to update you all on that soon.

Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15

Pros:

• Applies really nicely
• Spf 15 for daytime
• Pleasant smell
• Leaves the skin looking fresh and dewy
• Medium coverage that can be built up

Cons:

• Would like the shade range to cater for even darker skin types
• Doesn't come in a pump
• Spf may cause flash back

Aimed at:

• Normal to dry skin

Cost:

• £30 for 30ml

Personal experience:

I have the shade warm beige 3.5 and I love the soft look it gives to the skin but not really a staple product in my kit. It's a very nice every day foundation that can be built up to full coverage for an evening make-up. My tip with this foundation is that if you have combination to oily skin you may need to apply a powder to mattify it such as the Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder. I think it's worth the price and would repurchase this item and for the next time I'd like to try Bobbi Brown's Luminous Moisturising Treatment Foundation.

Pros:

• Very smooth

• Easy to use
• Smudge proof

Cons:

• Price
• Not as black as I'd hoped

Cost:

Personal experience on both products:

I won't be repurchasing the Maybelline liner. I will, however, continue to use the MAC fluidline as it's the best I've used so far but I'll still be on the lookout for the ultimate liner. I think a waterproof liner is essential in any make-up artist's kit. 

The next gel liner I'd like to try is the Make Up Forever Waterproof Aqua Cream liner.

                                      

Laura Mercier foundation primer

Pros:

• Applies very smoothly
• Lightweight
• Contains vitamins A, C and E 
• Only a pea size amount is needed
• Allows the makeup to last quite long on the skin
• Not a semi-matte finish
• Oil-free
• Non-comedogenic
• Classy, simple, fuss free packaging

Cons:

• The price

Aimed at:

• Ideal for normal to combination skin

Cost:

• £28 for 50ml

Personal experience:

Although this primer is quite expensive, it is a perfect consistency for me, creamy, lightweight and lasted the whole night (5-8 hours). If used sparingly I would say that it could last you 9 months or longer. It is key in my kit especially for bridal makeup and I don't know if I'd repurchase another brand, we'll have to see if there's something out there that could top this primer. I would repurchase this product and I would love to try the radiance primer.
