Get Date Night Ready with my Latest Avon Giveaway

First and foremost, I want to note that this Avon Date Night Giveaway is NOT being conducted by New Avon LLC; It is a giveaway that I, personally, am conducting as an Avon Independent Sales Representative.

What am I offering as the prize? One entrant will win what I like to call an Avon Date Night Bundle, consisting of one Avon Femme Fragrance Compact, one Avon SuperExtend Winged Out Mascara in Black, and one Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color in Red Tulip.

Details you may want to know on these products:

Avon Femme is an  elegant fragrance with sparkling freshness and opulent florals. Rich jasmine petals and stunning magnolia touched with radiant amberwoods.

SuperExtend Winged Out Mascara was voted an All You Beauty Best Buy in 2015; Breakthrough precision-tapered brush with hundreds of fine filigree bristles captures every lash, drawing them up and out.  Raven black lengthening fibers wrap and lift each individual lash for a long, fluttery multidimensional look.

Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color gives you a burst of moisture with a pop of color; The bold colors are medium to full coverage and have a smooth feel. Get your perfect lip look with the feeling of your favorite lip balm.

How do I enter? During the giveaway dates of 6/17/16 through and including 7/1/16, legal residents of the United States must register as my online Avon customer. You will get one entry for doing this. (If you are already registered as my Avon customer online, you already have one entry!)

Each valid entrant can have up to 3 chances to win; Of  course, the more entries you have, the better the odds are for you to win!

UC Indulgence Lip Color Swatches

Hey, beauties! Now is the time for me to do a lippy swatch post since the AVON Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color is at the LOWEST PRICE EVER -- only $3.99 each! (Reg. $9 each) As an AVON Independent Sales Representative, I am able to purchase lipstick samples in many shades/lines. This is geared for my customers to try out so they can see if they like the color prior to making their purchase. It also works out great for me so I can try a new shade out when the mood strikes. 

Today I will be "swatching" most of the Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color lipstick line. There are 12 indulgent shades to this line and I have 10 that I will show swatches on today. The 2 shades that I do not have on me to share with you are: In Bloom (a light golden/brown nude color) and Day Lily (a deep burgundy more purple than reddish, though).

(From left to right) Peach Petunia, Petal Pink, Poppy Pink, Pink Blossom, Red Tulip, Chocolate Rose, Honey Flower, Plum Verbena, Rose Bouquet, and Orchid Petal.

As you can tell from my picture, I have used the Orchid Petal quite a bit! I love the fun purple shade. I don't find it to be too bright but it sure is cheerful. I've never really experienced a shade like it which is why I feel that I am most drawn to its unique color. 

Here is a collage I made up of me wearing a few of the AVON Ultra Color Indulgence, through the pass couple of months, in shades: Chocolate Rose, Rose Bouquet, Pink Blossom, and Orchid Petal :

I had so much fun wearing the Chocolate Rose shade. It was way outside my comfort zone to don such a dark brown color. I received tons of compliments while wearing it. The Rose Bouquet is a great red shade for those who wish to take that next step from lighter/darker pink shades. This shade is a perfect transition from that to the classic red lip. Pink Blossom is such a cute and girly shade! I also receive a ton of compliments when I wear this one. Then we have the Orchid Petal, which as I mentioned above, I find to be an incredibly unique shade. 

I feel that all of these lipstick shades would work on any skin tone. The UC Indulgence lipsticks are lightweight, yet provide full coverage and rich color. These lipsticks have a creamy and refreshing texture -- quite soothing to the lips! 

SWATCH TIME!

MY LUST LIST: Lipstick Shades

Hey, beauts! I've previously blogged on my favorite lipstick shades (you can check out that post HERE to see which ones made my list). I'm sure as I try new shades, i'll be updating that favorites list. I'm a firm believer that a gal cannot have too many lipsticks (or any makeup product for that matter). Makeup is fun --- an extension of your personality. I'm a "wear your heart on your sleeve" type girl, so my moods most certainly reflect the style of my look for that time. This is why I find it most fulfilling to have an impressive makeup collection so as to have an open palette of colors and trends. 

I cannot say enough positive things about AVON makeup. The different lipstick lines allow for a wide variety in how you want your makeup to look and feel. Do you need something that is going to hold up and last for hours? Do you want some shimmer and sparkle? How about a matte finish - is that more your scene? AVON has something for every occasion. Today's entry will be on the lipstick shades that are on my list, that I've just got to try out ASAP. Hence, My Lippy To Do List!

FROM THE ULTRA COLOR LIPSTICK LINE: (4.3 out of 5 star rating)
Satin Finish - shade Vamp. This one is a dark, deep, purple. Gosh, it looks gorgeous. I imagine myself wearing this shade on a girls night out! Something fun, dark and mysterious. Definitely something that will turn heads. Vamp is bold, high fashion, and I want it. I love that this lipstick line contains a lip-nourishing formula of shea butter, omega-3 oil, arctic berry and vitamin E. 

Demi Matte Finish - shade Matte Nude. I love a great natural lippy look from time to time! There are a few nude colored shades that have my heart but I want to try one in a matte finish. Matte makeup is all the rage, and especially for Fall right around the corner, its an on-trend look. No shine, no fuss. Simplistic. A quick touch of this in the morning will make you feel ready and confident for the day. You can't go wrong with a subtle lipstick shade, simple as that.

FROM THE BEYOND COLOR LIPSTICK LINE: (4 out of 5 star rating)
shade Bitten. What a fun and bright pink color! The improved Beyond Color Lipstick line is now formulated with jojoba oil, caffeine and pomegranate extract. You can trust that your lips are protected with its included SPF 15. All shades in this line have a Satin finish. I've just got to try this one. "On Wednesday's we wear pink." right!?


shade Heat Wave. What girl doesn't love a classic red lip? I know I do! A red lip gives me confidence and empowerment. It makes me feel like a whole new person, really. I'm always down to try a new shade of red and add it to my collection of rose and ruby colored pretties. This shade looks to me like it would be classic yet have that little bit of extra spunk. The name says it all, this one is HOT HOT HOT!


FROM THE EXTRA LASTING LIPSTICK LINE: (3.8 out of 5 star rating)
shade Pink Peach. Looks like this one is a sweet pale pink with a hint of orange - a salmon color, if you will. This is the lipstick like that you want to get if you know that you need your lippy look to last for hours. I can imagine myself wearing this shade on a day out with my husband, browsing around the stores, or having a picnic lunch at the park. Just too sweet.

Comments about Mega Effects Liquid Eye Liner:

"This product works and looks exactly as expected. No surprises. No disappointments."

"I love this liner!!! I have tried them all and this is by far my favorite liner!!! I am an eyeliner junkie, I would rather be late then not have applied my winged liner. At first I disliked because it would always end up on my top lid and how embarrassing is that....but now I use an eye shadow primer and it lasts all day and night! If I make a mistake and need to fix the wing I just use a face wipe and voila!!!! It does not flake like a review mentioned and I have gone through like 4 and never had an issue with the cap. I can not recommend this liner any more, it is a must try!!! I would just die if AVON ever discontinues this liner!!!! Every time it goes on sale I buy like 4 in fear that it may be discontinued! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! A MUST TRY!!!!!!"
