GRWM: The Finishing Touches Add So Much To Your Look

Finished makeup look. #grwm — Pull Your Whole Look Together

It’s the little things in life that can mean so much.

How are you doing today? I hope you said awesome!

Feeling all put together? I know I’m always trying to, so I thought I’d share a few of my favorite “finishing touches” that I always make sure to apply before heading out the door. Finishes touches are really the key to me feeling like my entire look is complete, both with my makeup and my outfit.

Time to complete my makeup look with mascara and lipstick. #grwm — Mascara is a Must-Have

I have on my outfit, and a full face of makeup, but yet I still look “blah”. Time to add the finishing touches! I did apply mascara already (in the above picture) on my right eye, so we’re on our way!

Applying mascara. #grwm — Love At First Lash Mascara

My very favorite mascara is Avon’s Love at 1st Lash (I love the name too!). I get great coverage with one application, and really stand-out lashes with two. I do not curl my eyelashes or wear falsies, but I always get great looking lashes using Love at 1st Lash. I love the brush, it’s a nice size, and the mascara itself is just fabulous, with no flaking. It contains Vitamins A, C and E to condition lashes as you’re wearing it as well. There is also a waterproof version.

My favorite mascara, Love at 1st Lash from Avon. — Love At 1st Lash Mascara!

Time for lipstick! Lipstick adds a beautiful pop of color. — Now it’s Time for Lips!

Now that my eyes are finished, and I can flutter my lashes at you, I definitely need to get some lips going on! I am using fmg Glimmer Satin Lipstick in the shade Hibiscus for a beautiful pop of color.

#grwm The Finishing Touches add so much to your look. Mascara and Lipstick from Avon. — Find Your Favorite Makeup

GRWM – Purple Temptress Makeup Look

Wearing Avon's new fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Quad in Temptress — Avon’s New fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow in Temptress

I believe I’ve found my new favorite eyeshadow palette.

Hey everyone! How are you doing today? I hope fabulously!

I’m very excited to share my latest Avon makeup finds with you. I really love pinks, purples, and plums. How about you?

I’ve been having so much fun trying out Avon’s new line of eyeshadows called fmg Glimmer Eyeshadows. They come in color curated quads. This is my third one to try, and it’s called Temptress – Rrrarrr….

Along with this new eyeshadow palette, I decided to also try one of Avon’s new VDL Expert Color Primers and a new shade of fmg Glimmer Satin Lipstick.

First up, the VDL Expert Color Primer:

Trying Avon's new VDL Expert Color Primer for Eyes, in Shimmer. — VDL Expert Color Primer for Eyes in Shimmer

I usually use my foundation as an eyeshadow primer, and it works really well, but since I’ve been wanting to achieve a brighter shimmery look with the new Glimmer Eyeshadow Palettes (they also have mattes and satins in some of them), I was really excited to try one of the new VDL Expert Color Primers. Avon has three versions for whatever type of look you’re going for. There is the Original version, the Serenity version, and the Shimmer version. I bet you can guess which one I opted for. 🙂 Shimmer of course!

Here is a brief description of what each version is used for:

A SHADE FOR EVERY LOOK
• Shimmer – Great alone or to give your shadow extra oomph.
• Serenity – Great for matte shadows or to brighten dull eyes.
• Original – Great for your everyday basic makeup routine.

It only takes a small amount. I dabbed a bit on my eyelids with the wand (I worked on each eye separately), then used my finger to smooth it across my lid and up towards my crease area. I didn’t go all the way up to my brows. You can cover your entire eye area if you wish, I only wanted the shimmer about 2/3’s the way up. I let it dry for a couple of minutes and then I was ready to apply eyeshadow. It sets in place very well. I photographed myself (above pic) with one eye primed and one without. Hopefully you can see the difference. It gives a slight tint with a shimmery finish. I really like it! My shimmery eyeshadow shades go on much easier, the colors pop very well, and they blend wonderfully. It’s thanks to the quality of the new eyeshadow palettes too, but after trying two of the fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Palettes previously, I can tell that the shimmers go on much better using the primer.

And here is the finished look using the VDL Expert Color Primer for Eyes in Shimmer + fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Quad in Temptress + fmg Glimmer Sating Lipstick in Wildrose.

Purple Temptress Makeup look using Avon's VDL Expert Color Primer for Eyes + fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Quad in Temptress, and fmg Glimmer Satin Lipstick in Wildrose — fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow in Temptress

(All makeup products used in this look are Avon. If you peruse my Tips and Tricks Category, you will find more of my favorite Avon makeup and skin care products. )

I hope you’ll give your favorite fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Palette a try. There are 10 combos to choose from. They are listed for $11.99 on my Avon website. I also hope you’ll give the VDL Primers a try, especially if you’re going for a shimmery eyeshadow look like me, or if you’d like to brighten your eyes. And of course don’t forget the 20 gorgeous new shades of lipsticks in the fmg Glimmer Satin line.

So much fabulousness to help us look and feel our very best.

Till next time, remember to always follow your joy!

Get Ready with Me, Purple Temptress Makeup Look

I Rilla Like This Glimmer Satin Lipstick!

Trying Avon's new Glimmer Satin Lipstick in Hibiscus — **I Rilla Like This Lipstick!**

Cheers to Avon for their new Glimmer Satin Lipstick! I’m very impressed. The smoothness, the depth of color, it’s really awesome.

I didn’t know what to think at first when my favorite go-to Avon lipstick was discontinued, but I didn’t fret too much as Avon has proven to me over and over again with their newest product releases that they are going very high quality. They’re not abandoning the Avon products that we’ve all grown used to over the decades for cheaper knock-offs, but rather they are really amping up quality. Quality in the ingredients as well as up-to-date packaging, and keeping up with current trends. I’m really impressed – I know I said that above, but I truly am impressed with everything that they’ve done lately to improve and update.

And check out that gorgeous red tube that the Glimmer Satin Lipsticks are housed in. So pretty. The price-point on these lovely tubes is also impressive. $8.49 (regular price $11.00). You always get a discounted price for shopping with a Representative – like me!

I did line and fill my lips first with Avon’s Ultra Luxury Lip Liner in Currant before applying. I always like to do that for a full coverage lipstick look that will last. I highly recommend this new lipstick, and it will now be my favorite go-to for great coverage, great price, and very pretty color assortment. The shade I’m wearing here is called Hibiscus.

There are 20 beautiful lipstick shades to choose from in this new collection. I hope you find your favorite(s) too!

Happy Spring lips!

I just received my latest order from Avon yesterday! It’s always so exciting to me to receive my Avon box of goodies, so I thought I’d give you a little peek.

I got some of my lotion essentials, plus a couple of makeup items: Moisture Therapy Daily Skin Defense Hand Creams for me and Hubby, another Intensive Moisture Foot Works Cream that I had ordered last time – I really like it a lot, a Skin So Soft Comforting Shea Hand Cream (to keep on my desk), and then I needed a new compact of my very favorite Cashmere Powder Foundation, plus you know I ordered the new fmg Glimmer Satin Lipstick in Hibiscus, I’m so happy it’s here!

And not to worry, I’ll be showing you what’s inside the compact and lipstick tube soon. Which, the lipstick tube is really a pretty red, isn’t it? Avon’s lipsticks used to always come in a black tube, so this is great fun all by itself. Yes, I know, my Husband always says I’m easily amused! 🙂 🙂
