Tried This Thing Today...

Avon Luxe Silken Foundation

This weekend I've been pampering my skin and hair with Luxurious products featured in the Luxe edition - Avon brochure 4. This edition is all about just that - pampering yourself with gorgeous products infused with precious ingredients, designed to make you look and feel amazing. We all deserve to pamper ourselves every now and then!

From Avon Luxe range, I've tried out a sample of Silken foundation. It's a liquid foundation, which is infused with silk and white sapphire extract for a gloriously smooth and silky application that glides on effortlessly, and moisturises your skin. Its a 'seamless, soft-focus finish' that has added SPF 20. 

Now for some pics to show you for real... (p.s. I really hate taking selfies!!) :

The completed look: set with mineral powder in ivory, highlighter under the eyes and around the nostrils (not Avon), Ultraluxury Eyeliner in Dark Brown, Supershock Max Mascara - black, and Luxe Couture Creme Lipstick in Nude Slip.

I must say, this is the only liquid foundation I've tried so far that actually blends really well with my skin. I've tried other types from Avon and Mary Kay that usually look too dark or cakey. This shade is a perfect cool shade that matches my colouring perfectly. Went on very smoothly, with buildable, medium-full coverage that doesn't feel cakey. It feels lovely and soft and light. Definitely feels like I've treated my skin to a luxury product. I also tried out a sample of Luxe Couture Creme Lipstick which is infused with silk which gives a brightening, pearlescent look. I love this lippy! I've been on the lookout for a nude lippy that doesn't look too dark or orange, and I've finally found one :D. It's always a great feeling when you find the perfect lipstick ;).

I have some samples on hand of both the Luxe Silken Foundation, and Luxe Couture Creme Lipsticks. Send me a message if you'd like to try these out for yourself, for free. You can grab these products at a great reduced price right now in brochure 4:
