Some Things to Mull Over...

I guess this is a haul post...  I don't know :-)

Anyway, here's a few things I got from Avon recently that I am completely in love with right now!

First up is the Glimmerstick Diamonds Eyeliner.  I already had this in Smokey Diamond, which is a grey with glitter, but when I saw five more colours available in C15, I just had to have them!  Sadly, I didn't have enough money at the time to buy them all, so I only got two: Twilight Sparkle (blue) and Sugar Plum (purple).



My skin looks awful in the picture above at the moment, I'm suffering from dry skin on my hands because of the cold!  I've also battered and bruised my hands throughout the moving process, so please forgive me!
As you can see, they both have a gorgeous glitter in them, making them perfect for spicing up any look.  Having said that, I love pretty much anything glittery or sparkly, haha!

I also bought myself a demo of Skin So Soft Mineral Gems Glamorous Gold, which is a dry oil body spray with... you guessed it, real gold sparkles in!


I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but seeing as I am about to jump in the shower, I will give it a go afterwards :-)

Then I bought a demo of Secret Fantasy, which is a new perfume coming out in C17 (I think!).


As you can see, the bottle is this adorable deep pink with a cute little key charm on it.  The charm also doubles as a lock for the spray, which is pretty handy!  I love this smell, but I haven't quite decided what it actually smells of yet, so I will keep you posted.

And finally, I was sent a special gift for selling £30 worth of Lotus Shield stuff, which was very nice of Avon!  My gift included: Anew Clinical Eye Lift (All Ages), Superextend Mascara in black and Glazewear Sparkle lip gloss in Sugar Cane.



Now I am always up for trying free stuff, so I gave them all a go, and I have to say I was very surprised that I actually liked the eye lift!  I found that it did brighten up my eyes quite a bit, but I don't know much about sagging or crows feet, as I'm lucky enough not to have any yet!  I also loved the mascara, as it really lengthened my lashes with no trouble at all.  At first, I wasn't sure about the gloss, because I prefer my pinks to be sheer and the colour looked terribly opaque in the tube.  It was also very bright, and as I am not a natural fan of the pink colour anyway, I was tempted to give it away.  However, I tried it and I'm glad I did.  The colour is very sheer, it's almost more of a sheen than a tint, and I love the glamorous sparkles.  It's a very wearable gloss after all, so don't be put off by the brightness of it!
