Hey Beauties!
Today I will show you natural day makeup look with little pop of color and two lip choices. Avon offered to send me some of their products, which I haven't tried yet and wanted me to do a day and night makeup. Today is part 1, a simple day makeup and you can expect part 2 night makeup soon. They also send me some extra product that I can give away. Yey! It's a photo heavy post, so get prepared.

Avon Luxe Eyeshadow in Cocoa Couture
This is a pretty neutral brown palette with a little pop of pink color in the middle. You get 9 grams and it costs 8.90€ (regular price 13.50€). You can choose from 7 different color combinations. I especially love the gold packaging from the Luxe range. I'm a sucker for gold.
The shades are pretty well pigmented. The first matte pink nude is a bit less pigmented. The second colorful matte pink shade is actually the least pigmented in my opinion. The third very light brown has very little shimmer and good pigmentation. Fourth olive toned dark brown also has small shimmer and good pigmentation. The last chocolate brown matte shade is the most pigmented shade in the palette, which surprised me, since it is matte.
I started by using the fourth dark brown shade in the crease to get some definition. The I used second pink shade in the outer part of the lid as a base. This will give me some colorful base. I then went over the entire lid with the third light brown shade, to achieve a very neutral shade with some color. I also used the same light brown shade all over the lower lash line.
Avon Alway On Point Eyeliner in Lavender Grey
This is a pencil eyeliner, but it seems to be more like a cream eye pencil. I have to say it's genius. I don't know how exactly it works, but I assume the product is in the cap or the top of the packaging. When you swirl the cap on the pencil it makes a click sound. It puts the product on the top and also perfectly sharpens the pencil to a point. That means whenever you use up the tip, you just screw the cap back on and voila, perfect tip. Isn't that just genius? Where was I when this was invented?! I hate eye pencils for this reason, because I don't feel like sharpening them up 5 times in between creating my liner.
I got the shade Lavender Grey, which is indeed a grey shade with a lavender undertone. It has a metallic finish and a lot of shimmer in it. That means it will be more of a reflective eyeliner.
Unfortunately I didn't find the liner in the catalog and when I asked the representatives they said that it won't be available for a while. Such a shame.
Then I used an eyeliner and did my wing as always. You can do it without the wing, if you prefer that.
Luxe Volume Extravagance Mascara in Caviar Black
The mascara costs 8.50€ (regular price 11.90€) and you get 7 ml of it. I have to say this didn't really impress me. It's a volume mascara and I do get some volume, but if I put too much on, it also makes them a bit sticky and doesn't separate them. I guess if you like that thick volume effect, you'll love this one.
I'm also not crazy about the very big and fluffy brush. It's a personal thing. I prefer silicon small brushes. I find this brush to be too big for me. It's sometimes hard to get to the very roots of the lashes.
After curling the lashes I applied the mascara.
Avon Luxe Lipstick in Lustering Nude
Luxe lipsticks cost 6.50€ (regular price 9.90€) and you get 3.6 grams of product. You can also choose from a range of 16 shades. The packaging is again pretty luxurious gold plastic.
I got the shade Lustering Nude, which I think it's the wrong name. It's definitely not nude for me. It's light peach red shade with shimmer. The shimmer in the lipstick gives your lips that shine that makes them look bigger and juicier. I know the shimmer might bother some people, but I think the range is geared toward mature users and I get the idea. The shimmer makes the lips fuller and as we all know they do get thinner with age. I personally love the look of shimmer and this very sheer peach red shade, but I hate the fact that when it wears off, it leaves behind shimmer. That's annoying.
And that is my pretty natural makeup for the day or for anyone that doesn't want to wear obvious makeup and wants to just enhance the natural features of the face.
Avon Ultra Color Indulgence Lipstick in Petal Pink
It costs
5.70€ (regular price 8.50€) and you get
3 grams of product. You know my love for the Ultra Color Indulgence range, so I won't go into detail. They are basically
very pigmented moisturizing lipstick that give you nice
shine and
amazing color. You can read my reviews and see the swatches of these lipsticks here:
Part 1,
Part 2 and
other.
I got another shade that I can ass to my collection and it's called Petal Pink. Petal Pink is a cool toned fuchsia pink. It's actually very similar to Hibiscus. I guess Petal Pink is a bit more cooler (blue) toned than Hibiscus. It's also a bit lighter. Hibiscus is a tiny bit darker and more pink.
I wanted to show you a bit more colorful version of day makeup. One of the easiest things that you can do is use colorful lipstick. Now this one is not my first choice, because it doesn't necessarily compliments my skin tone, but it would look amazing on maybe a bit more cool toned skin. Previous peach variation was for those with warmer yellow skin tone and this would be better choice for those with cooler pink skin tone.
Here are the swatches from left to right: Avon Always On Point Eyeliner in Lavender Grey, Avon Luxe Lipsticks in Lustering Nude and Avon Ultra Color Indulgence Lipstick in Petal Pink.

Danes vam bom pokazala nevtralen makeup z malo barvitosti.
Predstavila vam bom tudi dve verziji šmink. Avon se je ponudil, da mi pošlje
nekatere njihove izdelek, ki jih še nisem preizkusila. Z njim bom ustvarila en
dneven in en nočen makeup. Danes je tukaj prvi del, preprost dnevni makeup.
Drugi del lahko pričakujete kmalu. Poslali so mi tudi nekaj izdelkov, ki jih
bom podarila na koncu te objave. Jej! Objava je polna fotografij, zato se
pripravite.
Avon Luxe paleta senčil v odtenku Cocoa Couture
To je precej nevtralna rjava paleta z dodatkom barvitega
roza odtenka na sredini. Cena za paleto je 8.90€ (redna cena 13.50€) in v njej
je 9 gramov izdelka. Izbirate lahko med 7 različnimi kombinacijami. Še posebej
mi je všeč zlata embalaža iz Luxe linije. Kaj naj rečem, obožujem zlato.
Odtenki so kar dobro pigmentirani. Prvi mat roza nevtralen
odtenek je malo manj pigmentiran. Drugi barvit mat roza odtenek je po mojem
mnenju najmanj pigmentiran. Tretji svetlo rjav odtenek z majhnim šimrom je
dobro pigmentiran. Četrti rjav odtenek z olivnim podtonom in bleščicami je prav
tako dobro pigmentiran. Zadnji čokoladno rjav odtenek je najbolj pigmentiran
odtenek, kar me je presenetilo, glede na to, da je mat.
Paleto sem uporabila tako, da sem najprej uporabila četrto
temno čokoladno barvo in z njo ustvarila malo definicije v gubi očesa. Potem sem
uporabila barvit mat odtenek na zunanji polovici veke. Ta odtenek mi je služil
kot barvna podlaga. Preko celotne veke sem nato nanesla tretji svetlo rjav
odtenek, da sem ustvarila precej nevtralen očesni makeup z kančkom barve. Enako
svetlo rjav odtenek sem uporabila tudi okrog spodnjih trepalnic.
Avon Always On Point svinčnik za oči v odtenku Lavender Grey
To je svinčnik za oči, ki pa izgleda kot kremen svinčnik.
Povedati moram, da je genialen. Ne vem kako točno deluje, ampak predvidevam da
je izdelek v zgornjem delu embalaže oziroma v pokrovu. Ko dam pokrov na
svinčnik, je produkt prenesen na vrh svinčnika. Prav tako je perfektno ošiljen.
To pomeni, da kadarkoli porabite vrh izdelka, pokrov spet navijete na izdelek
in voila, popolnoma ošiljen vrh. Ni to genialno? Kje sem bila ko so to izumili?
Sovražim svinčnike za oči ravno zaradi tega, ker jih moram med eno uporabo
petkrat ošiliti.
Dobila sem odtenek Lavender Grey, ki je siv odtenek s
sivkinim podtonom. Ima kovinski finiš in veliko šimra. To pomeni, da je bolj
refkletiven liner.
Na žalost izdelka nisem našla v katalogu in ko sem po njem
vprašala predstavnico Avona, mi je rekla, da ga še nekaj časa ne bo na voljo.
Škoda.
Potem sem uporabila svinčnik za oči in naredila rahel wing.
Če ne marate tega izgleda, lahko samo navadno obrobite oči.
Luxe Volume Extravagance maskara v odtenku Caviar Black
Cena maskare je 8.50€ (redna cena 11.90€) in v njej je 7 ml
izdelka. Moram povedati, da me ta izdelek ni preveč navdušil. Je maskara za
volumen in res da nekaj volumna, ampak če uporabim preveč, postanejo moje
trepalnice lepljive in jih ne morem več ločiti. Če vam je všeč efekt debelih
trepalnic z volumnom, potem vam bo ta maskara všeč.
Tudi ogromna krtačka mi ni všeč. Tukaj gre čisto za osebno
preferenco. Jaz imam na sploh raje silikonske majhne krtačke. Zame je ta
krtačka prevelika. Včasih je težko doseči koren trepalnic.
Potem ko sem zavihala trepalnice, sem uporabila to maskaro
na spodnjih in zgornjih trepalnicah.
Avon Luxe šminka v odtenku Lustering Nude
Cena Luxe šmink je 6.50€ (redna cena 9.90€) in v njih je 3.6
gramov izdelka. Izbirate lahko med 16 odtenki. Embalaža je spet lepa luksuzno
zlata plastika.
Dobila sem odtenek Lustering Nude, ki ima napačno ime. Zame
vsekakor to ni nude odtenek. Je svetlo breskvasto rdeč odtenek z veliko šimra.
Šimer v šminki daje čudovit sijaj in z njim ustnice izgledajo večje in sočne.
Vem, da bo šimer verjetno marsikatero motil, ampak mislim, da je linija
namenjena starejšim uporabnicam in razumem idejo. Šimer naredi ustnice
polnejše, ker vsi vemo, da ustnice z leti postajajo bolj tanke. Meni osebno je
šimer všeč, prav tako ta lahko breskvast rdeč odtenek. Ni mi všeč, da ko šminka
zbledi, ostane na ustnicah samo šimer. To je lahko res nadležno.
In to je moj precej nevtralen dnevni makeup za vsakogar, ki
noče nositi na daleč vidnega makeupa, ampak vseeno želi malo poudariti svoje
obrazne poteze.
Avon Ultra Color Indulgence šminka v odtenku Petal Pink
Cena šminke je 5.70€ (redna cena 8.50€) in v njej je 3 grame
izdelkov. Poznate mojo ljubezen do Ultra Color Indulgence šmink, zato ne bom
šla v podrobnosti. V bistvu so zelo pigmentirane vlažilne šminke, ki dajo
ustnicam lep sijaj in čudovito barvo. Moje ocene šmink si lahko preberete
tukaj: del 1, del 2 in ostalo.
Dobila sem še en odtenek, ki ga lahko dodam moji kolekciji.
Imenuje se Petal Pink. Petal Pink je roza fuksija z hladnim podtonom. Je zelo
podobna odtenku Hibiscus. Petal Pink je bolj hladen odtenek (z modrim podtonom)
kot Hibiscus. Je tudi malo svetlejši odtenek. Hibiscus je malo temnejši in bolj
roza.
Želela sem vam predstaviti bolj barvito verzijo dnevnega
makeupa. Ena najlažjih načinov kako
dodati barvo v makeup je, da dodate barvito šminko. Ta odtenek ni moja
prva izbira, ker se ne ujema preveč z mojim podtonom kože. Izgledala bi odlično
na nekom z hladnim podtonom kože. Prejšnja breskvasta verzija je bolj primerna
za te z toplim rumenim podtonom kože, med tem ko je ta roza bolj primerna za
nekoga z hladnim roza podtonom kože.
Na fotografiji lahko vidite kako izgledajo izdelki od leve
proti desni: Avon Always on Point svinčnik za oči v odtenku Lavender Grey, Avon
Luxe šminka v odtenku Lustering Nude in Avon Ultra Color Indulgence šminka v
odtenku Petal Pink.
