Avon Mega Effect Creamy Eyeshadow Pots - Inspired Iris & Liquid Gold

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday . How has your week been ? I woke up with a bit of a cold on Monday, and it seems it's making me loose my voice now - not the most fun. 

Avon is releasing a new eyeshadow formula this month - and I just knew I had to try them out. These are jewel-toned cream eyeshadow pots that claim to be crease proof , waterproof and last up to 18 Hours. I got two colours in the range - the purple called Inspired Iris and the gold colour Liquid Gold.

So first off ... Let's discuss the formula and eyeshadows before I dive into the two colours I got. I expected the formula to be a little creamier. To be honest the eyeshadow in the pot is a harder formula than I expected. You'll definitely need a flat brush to pick up some of the product to pack on. BUT ... Having said that - once you start applying this eyeshadow a few times it does get easier to use. This eyeshadow really is crease proof and lasts forever (even without an eyeshadow base). Which I'm pretty impressed with . As I mentioned before - I apply my make-up early mornings - and was really impressed when I take this off around 20h00 at night - my eye make-up still looks perfectly applied. Which for me is pretty impressive . The colour intensity doesn't fade , and it really doesn't budge until you decide to remove it with an eye make-up remover.

There's a total of 5 colours in the range , a red/pink (Crimson Tide )  , purple (Enduring Iris ) , grey (Glistening Steel ), gold (Liquid Gold)  and green (Deep Amazon). All with the most gorgeous sparkle. 


So onto the two colours I picked. I will most definitely be picking up Glistening Steel.  Now let's take a look at the two colours I got. Swatches will be at the end . 
Avon Mega Effect Eyeshadow Pots in Inspired Iris

Inspired Iris is a gorgeous rich deep purple. When I picked the two colours I just got this one to try out another colour - in the end this one turned out to be my favourite. I mostly only wear nude eyeshadows - but since I gotten this gorgeous purple colour I LOVE wearing some colour. The colour lasts all day - which is awesome since most pinks and purples tend to fade super quickly on me. I just dab on a little bit of this colour , a lilac liner in my waterline and tons of mascara and I can't get enough of this easy eye look to do. If you like wearing colour - this one is a must. 


Avon Mega Effect Eyeshadow Pots in Liquid Gold

Liquid Gold  is a gorgeous white toned gold colour.I love using gold eyeshadows to warm up my skin tone and for more natural days. Sadly - since I love Inspired Iris so much - I don't wear this one as often as I like. But it's a gorgeous colour none the less. Especially when paired with a more dramatic lip colour or for more natural make-up days. What I love to do on days that I prefer a no-make up look is to just use this , a little mascara and I'm good to go.

Now onto the swatches of these two colours - 


Overall I'm pretty impressed with these eyeshadow pots. They do take a little bit of work at the beginning - but they deliver gorgeous results.

How has YOUR week been so far ?

Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer Review and Wear Test

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I will be sharing my review on the Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer . I have worn this quite a few times since buying the product - so I have a pretty good idea how it preforms. The colour I got was a typical Lynette colour - The Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer in Donut Worry be Happy. This is such a gorgeous fun pink colour. The range does have quite a few colour options - and what I do like about the range is that no top coat is needed. So while I always top coat polish or gel polishes - I didn't when I tested this out. Since I did mention I have worn it quite a few times - I always wore it without top coat. The polish dries amazingly fast - and is dry enough to not make dent marks on it within 20 minutes. Which I think is pretty impressive for a polish without top coat. The brush is on the thicker side - making the polish super easy to apply. I prefer nailpolish brushes like this since it's mostly just one swipe on each

CATRICE TREATMENTS SERUM REVIEW

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How was your week? I totally lost a day with the public holidays and Easter Weekend threw into the mix ... I was pretty convinced today was actually Tuesday. As I mentioned in my New on my Beauty Desk post in February - I got a few Catrice serums from their new range to try out. In total I picked up the Hydro serum as well - so today I will give you a rundown on the three serums I chose from the range to my routine.  Overall - I have a pretty good idea of which ones I love - which ones are good and which ones I'm not 100% sold on.  CATRICE HYDRO PLUMPING SERUM  This serum contains 1.5 %  hyaluronic acid and panthenol to plumps up the skin as well as have a soothing effect on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is well known to hydrate the skin and absorbs easily into the skin super quickly. I love using Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before applying make-up as it gives me a hydrated base to work with. Honestly, while I did enjoy using this serum - I do prefer the Sw
