Pretty in Purples and Pink

Hey there! I couldn’t wait to show you my latest Avon haul! I am in love with this new Temptress Eyeshadow Quad from the Avon fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Curated Color Collection. The colors are soooo gorgeous! My pictures do not even do this Quad justice. I’m so excited to try it.

I’m also excited to show you one of Avon’s new VDL Expert Color Primers for Eyes. There are 3 versions: Original, Serenity, and Shimmer.

BENEFITS
• Preps lids for smoother eyeshadow and eye liner application
• Enhances shadow shades for a more vibrant, brighter result
• Infused with skin-caring Tahitian black pearl powder

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.

I chose Shimmer. I love a shimmery look (yes, even at my age! We’re as young as we feel, right?) I have given this a quick try and it really does make the shimmer eyeshadows go on easier and brighter. I’ll be doing a demo photoshoot soon giving these an “official” try. I just couldn’t wait to try the primer though. AND — I also paired this with another new Glimmer Satin Lipstick in Wildrose, for a completely purpley, pink, plum look. I’m really looking forward to putting this all together. I think these colors are going to be perfect for my Summer into Fall makeup looks. I can see this palette being worn lightly or dramatically. The lipstick can also go from light to drama with the addition of lipliner and/or a darker under color lipstick. I love layering makeup to achieve different looks with every shade.

Okay, gang, I am off for now. I hope you all enjoy a FABULOUS 4th of July holiday weekend. I’ll be back next week to give these beauties and try, and see what kind of look I can come up with to show you.

Till then, stay fabulous and follow your joy – always!

Trying New fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Quads from Avon

Hey, hey everybody! Are you ready for fabulous new eyeshadow quads from Avon? I know I’ve been, and I’m so happy to have the chance to preview them before they arrive on the scene next week.

Avon is launching a whole new line of eyeshadows called fmg Glimmer Shadows. There will be 10 new quads to choose from and mix and match for your dream look(s).

I chose to try eyeshadow quads Muse and Goddess.

Muse is filled with beautiful shades of browns and berries.

The tones in this palette came out differently in different lighting. The tones are more brown/berry.

I wanted to use this palette with Goddess which is filled with glittery gold and silver shades plus a dark brown.

The three shimmers in this palette are silver, gold, and kind of a peachy shimmer. I used my finger to dab some on my eyelids for a nice shimmery finish. Again, with the lighting the shades came out looking a bit different. That is not black, but a rich dark brown.

The darker shades have great pigment and are very blendable. The little applicators are very soft, so it was easy to blend without pulling or tugging my skin. Really nice!

I go straight in dark with my outline, then blend to soften. This eyeshadow worked really great and it was easy to achieve my desired look.

A nice blend of brown and berries with shimmery highlights on the lids. A great eyeshadow tone for me to wear with my gold jewelry from Avon, of course!

I’m looking forward to trying more of these beautiful new eyeshadow palettes. There are 2 more that are in my colors, called Vixen and Temptress. Don’t you just love those names? There will be palettes for everyone’s tastes and undertones, and these are being introduced at a very affordable $11.99 each, so you can easily build your collection of faves.

I’ll be back next week when they launch and give you a look at the entire Glimmer Eyeshadow Collection of Quads so you can choose your favorite(s).

Avon is also introducing new Glimmer Gel Liners and Eyeshadows that you can pair with these new Quads as well, so keep and eye out (no pun intended) for all the glam coming your way.

I love having fun things to look forward to, don’t you? Yay!

Till next time, stay fabulous and follow your joy!

Sateen Dreams – Glimmershadow Liquid Eyeshadow in Matte Sateen

Sateen Supreme Glimmershadow Liquid Eyeshadow

Hello, and Happy Campaign 21 everyone!

This new C.21 campaign rolls out with some gorgeous glam for you, and I definitely have a few favorites to share, so be sure to stay tuned.

And a quick side-note. With the launch of this newest Campaign, I was able to get a sneak peek ahead to C.23 that will be arriving October 14th, and guess what? There are already Christmas items in that campaign! Hooray!!! Doing a happy dance! The holidays are coming – the holidays are coming!

Okay — back to now and all the glam. I’m so happy to see glam back in the spotlight. Definitely a favorite of mine.

Avon has added to their gorgeous glamstar Glimmershadow liquid eyeshadow line with their newest shades in Matte Sateen. These liquid eyeshadows are a buildable silky cream formula that glides on effortlessly for a soft subtle sheen that will last you all day. They are crease and smudge proof as well. The Sateen Glimmershadows are available in 6 everyday neutral shades: Sunstone, Moonstone (I’ve ordered this one), Pink Sapphire, Citrine, Jasper, and Tiger’s Eye.

I just think these are so gorgeous. I cannot wait to receive mine in Moonstone.

Can’t decide which you like best? Why not try it on first?

Try on Glimmershadow Liquid Eyeshadows Virtually!

Anytime you see this button that says “Try it on”,

You can try it on! Just choose the shade you’d like to try on and click the button from your phone or computer and it will bring you up on the screen – in real-time virtual video and it will position the eyeshadow right on your eyelids. It’s so cool! And it looks very real. I love using this makeover tool. I’ve used it with and without eyeshadow on, and it definitely works best without eyeshadow already on your eyes, but if you have some on, the darker shades will show up better than the lighter ones.

These are listed at $10.00 each, but as you saw in the screenshot above, your price is $7.49 when you shop my website. And, as you can also see from the screenshot, you can try on all the Glimmershadow types from this one page: Shimmer, new Matte Sateen, and Glitter shades.

Kiss My Glimmer!

Mono Pop Mood Coral Eyeshadow Palette – Beauty and Versatility

Mono Pop Mood Coral Color Swatch

Hey all! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful weekend, and that this new week is very kind to you.

I thought I’d try my hand (or arm actually) at doing a swatch pictorial to give you a better idea of how pretty the new Avon x The Face Shop Mono Pop Mood Coral Eyeshadow Palette really is, and how great it blends.

With this being my first attempt at color swatching eye shadow, I of course turned to Google and You Tube for how-to info, and I’m glad I did. It seems that sometimes in attempting to achieve the “perfect” color swatch, the color may have been applied using a different method than what you would normally use to apply it to your eyelids, resulting in an ineffective or inaccurate depiction of what you can actually expect to see when you apply the eye shadow for yourself once you purchase the product. So, with that in mind, and also hoping to achieve some sense of what you can expect in blendability, I first prepped my arm using my foundation and powder to give it the same type of base as what I would begin with in applying my makeup.

Avon x The Face Shop Mono Pop Eyeshadow, Mood Coral

I used a regular eyeshadow wand to apply the colors. You can see the wand in the first picture above, and the next one below. I found that when applying this particular palette, I liked the little wand instead of an eyeshadow brush, as it yielded more color and sparkle bang than a brush did.

Mono Pop Mood Coral

Another thing I love about this palette is the effective layering I can achieve. I first used the lightest color as a base then built upon it as I wished. For my look this weekend, I used the pink and then went over it with the taupe shimmery color (It’s the 2nd shimmer color on the far right side of the palette) in the middle of my eye, and my eyelid.

Wearing Mono Pop Mood Coral for my Saturday night date night!

I also layered some of the coral shimmer to the middle of my eye area as well for a little more pop shimmery color.

With me going out for the evening, I decided to borrow some dark gray from my Avon Purple Haze Palette, and I used that around my eyes – over my Avon eyeliner pencil (black), and then I went over that with the dark brown from the Mood Coral palette to make the color tone more cohesive. I also used some of the dark brown in the crease and outside edges of my eye to blend and connect the lighter colors with the very dark eyeliner (line + shadow) look around my eyes.

That’s another fabulous point about this palette, it can go from a day to night makeup look. You can see that with the colors in this palette it will be easy to do a very pretty day look, and now you can also see, it is great for a more dramatic evening look, and for any age group. You’re never too young or old for pretty shimmery colors, and this palette has both matte and shimmery – so yeah, no matter what mood you’re in (coral or whatever), wherever you may be headed – work, date, etc., I definitely recommend this palette for it’s versatility and beauty.

Mono Pop Mood Coral Eyeshadow Palette Color Swatch

The Mono Pop Eyeshadow comes in 2 different palettes, Mood Coral and Mood Brown, and are on special right now, buy 1, get 1 half price – Yay! Click Here to get yours!

Mono Pop Coral Eyeshadow Palette

So – one color swatching session under my belt. I hope it helped you to see the colors in action. I’ll try my arm at it again sometime soon to show you some of Avon’s other eyeshadow choices. They are all great – great colors – great wearability – etc.

Till next time, stay fabulous and always follow your joy!

Steel Blues and Holiday Dream in Color Eyeshadow Palette Sneak Preview

Avon True Color Eyeshadow Quad Steel Blues

Hello everyone!

Let’s talk eyeshadows today!

I love trying different colors, although my default setting is usually plums (like my lipstick choices), but I do enjoy a pop of blue, so I decided to get the Avon True Color Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Quad in Steel Blues and give it a try.

I really like this palette. The tones go really well with my dark brown eyes. Number 1 is a nice Cream color, very neutral, so a great coverage right under the brow area. Number 2 is a really pretty silvery blue’ish gray. It’s a shimmery look. Number 3 is a medium gray, and Number 4 is a dark navy blue color.

Here are Avon’s How-To Instructions for application, by number:

TO USE

• Lightest shade (1) goes on the brow bone

• Accent shade (2) goes in the inner corner

• Medium shade (3) goes in the outer corner

• Darkest shade (4) goes on the lash lines

Follow this Link to find the Steel Blue Eyeshadow Quad (#528-781) plus all the other Avon Eyeshadow Quad options. Hover over the little Eyeshadow Icons and it will show you each palette on the larger Quad pic to your left. It’s really cool. (P.S. They’re on special right now for $5.29!)

And here I am wearing my Steel Blues Eyeshadow. I used the Number 4 dark navy color as an eyeliner. One side of the applicator has a pointy tip, so it’s very easy to line with. I do also wear eyeliners, but this color has a great stand-out pop of color on its own, as you can see. I used the Number 1 cream color right under my brow, and actually all the way down to my lid, then the Number 2 silvery shimmer color in my mid-eye area and the Number 4 navy to line and also bring out the edges of my eye lid area and then blended upward with the silvery color. I didn’t use the Number 3 gray color with this look, but I’ll most likely use it when I go for a more plum-type palette. Since I was wearing black and white, I wanted to stick with the navy and silvery tones.

It’s fun to mix and match between the Avon Eyeshadow palettes. Sometimes I stay within one color palette, and sometimes I mix in between several. It just depends on the colors I’m wearing and my mood. How about you?

And now for that sneak peek I promised you!

It’s getting so exciting – as if things have not been exciting enough in Avon Land, but I’m already receiving glimpses of holiday goodness that is soon coming our way. Hooray!!

Coming up in Campaign 23, the theme is “Live Your Best Life, Every day’s a holiday!” It is filled with holiday themed limited edition items that are so fun and fabulous. I’ll go into more detail about it all soon, but I thought I’d share the Limited Edition Dream in Color Eye Palette with you on today’s eyeshadow themed post.

Dream in Color Eye Palette Coming Soon

Look at all of those gorgeous colors! So bright and so shimmery! That’s a definite holiday makeup must-have. It’s described as a vision of beautiful possibilities with 16 versatile shades. Looks like it will list at $15.00. Along with that there is the Limited Edition I Am Flawless Brush Set. This will have four pro brushes to get holiday-ready on the go, it says. It will include the purple pouch with a zipper closure. This set will list at $20.00. These would make fabulous gifts as well. Look how pretty those brushes are.

And there’s a lot more! I know, I know, you just have to stay tuned! Wait till you see the cute little Own the Dance Floor (disco ball) Lip Balm.

Okay, I’ve teased you enough! Haha! I will close for now, but I do promise to return with more Avon fabulousness, and I leave you with always stay fabulous yourself, and always follow your joy, well wishes.
