It starts with a very strong sweet fruity note, a bit berry like. As it evolves it becomes more floral and I kind of dislike this stage. It smells a bit like floral toilette re-fresheners. Too green and floral for my taste. I love it the most at the end stage when it becomes deeper and sweeter. It's also not as strong as with the first spritz that just hits you in the nose like a wave of fruity sweetness. In the end I smell it more as a vanilla sweet fragrance, very classic, but still strong for something that is eau de toilette. 

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant

Trend It Up Powder Blush 010

I've already talked about the shade 050 and I like it so much, that I both two more shades. One of those being this lovely peach shade. It's the most my kind of shade of blush and I like the satin finish. Most of my peachy blushes are actually shimmery or a bit pinkier, but this one is an orange based peach and I adore it. It looks especially pretty paired with warm fall eye shades.

Ebelin Powder Brush

DM had some offers on their Ebelin brand and I decided to try some of their brushes. Their lip brush is my favorite lip brush. Powder brush is so soft. It has tapered bristles and it's the perfect size for lightly dusting powder on your face. I don't like huge powder brushes, because you don't have any control with those. This one would be just as amazing for applying blush (like Real Techniques Blush Blush). 

Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Quad - Smokey Blue and Smokey Brown

I've also got some new Avon eyeshadows and since this month has been all about the glitter, I've loved two glitter shades from these two palettes.  Shade 1 from Smokey Blue is a white based, a bit transparent shade, with bright blue glitter. I love applying this over other shades to add sparkle. I've also been liking shade 4 from Smokey Brown, which is a dark brown with coppery warm glitter. I like a bit of brown smokey eye with the shimmer. Smokey eye can sometimes look boring and glitter makes it more interesting. It's also rare to find glitter shades, because most of them are shimmery.

Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer

I got this, because most people said that it's aa Urban Decay Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion dupe. Since I have that one too, I wanted to compare them. So far, I love it. It works pretty much the same. This one has a bit more pinkish base, but it blends into nothing, because it's a thinner formula and doesn't leave behind any color. It makes eyeshadows blend easily and it also makes them long lasting, which is all I can ask from it.

Clio Kill Brown Waterproof Brush Liner

This is a fun story. I accidentally ordered brown shade instead of black. Typical me. I actually ordered black again and they screwed up my order and sent me foam applicator instead of the brush version. I was so mad, because I only got a half refund back. Now I ordered black brush version again and hopefully they don't screw me over again. Anyway, I wasn't that mad about the brown one, because I actually love brown liner, especially for the fall. I've never had a liquid brown version and I've been loving it. It's not as pigmented as black and you need to go over the line a few times, but I love brush applicator and the shade is perfect for warmer and less harsh looks.

Trend It Up Ultra Slim Kajal in 020

I've already said in the review that I've been using it for brows. It's all I've been wearing on my brows this month. I love super slim and precise tip and the fact that I can fill in my bold spots. Once it dries, it stays on for the whole day. The shade is great for my current hair color. It's a really lovely product, if you want something precise to actually draw on your skin where you're missing the hair.

Avon Gel Shine Nail Enamel - Marmalady and Stonewashed

Fall selection of Avon Gel Shine Nail Enamels is right up my alley. I love green and orange shades. Two shades that stood out to me the most and that I have to mention in my favorites are Marmalady and Stonewashed. Maramalady is the most unique dirty orange brown shade. It looks like an apricot jam. I've also been enjoying wearing Stonewashed, which is a grey based shade with olive mixed in it. It's a lovely muted olive.

Avon Naturals Escape Coconut & Starfruit Shower Gel

This is totally unseasonal and I should have taken this out in August, but I love it now. It smells very tropical - definitely not like a coconut. I don't know how starfruit smells, but I would bet it smells most like it. It's refreshing and sweet and it brings me back to holidays. Formula is like a regular transparent shower gel, nothing special. It's the scent that I love.

Avon Life Eau de Parfum

This perfume has been made in collaboration with famous fashion designer Kenzo Takada. I've already had some Kenzo perfumes in the past and I was intrigued to find out how this one smells. I mostly remember Kenzo scents having that powdery feel to them, which I love. This one is a lot more floral than I thought it would be. I've said it before that I'm not a fan of floral scents, but the oriental base in this scent made me love it. I like it when it's been on my skin for a while and when the initial floral burst wears off. Then it because a more sophisticated and very elegant oriental base. It's one of those scents that I wear when I want to feel super grown up and elegant. Not too powerful or invasive, but a very classic scent. 

Glitter

This month has been all about glitter. I feel like it has obsessed me a little. I've made two Halloween makeup looks and they both had lots of glitter. Who doesn't like glitter?! I bough a pack of about 16 glitter shades in Kik. It was last year and I didn't find it this year. Every glitter was packed in a small bag and the whole pack of glitter only cost 1€, which was a bargain. I depoted these into small lip balm like pots. It's a lot more useful and it looks so much prettier. I'm definitely going to use them in some other projects as well.

My favorites are also both of my Halloween looks - Glamorous Ghost and Galaxy Skull. It's been so fun creating unconventional makeup looks and using more free spirit applications. It's the one time of the year that you can try something fun and it's still appropriate to post on blog. There's been so much inspirational YouTube videos and images on Instagram, that I had to create something myself and I love both looks. 

Glamorous Ghost

Galaxy Skull

Both of these scents have pretty much the same packaging, just the color scheme is different. They come in box in black or blue with a gold writing and decorative curvy design. It looks oriental to me. 

The glass bottles look really nice with the gold design and the top is metal gold. I like that these bottle are thinner and smaller than I expected. I like to throw these in the bag to carry with me, because they're not huge or super intricately designed like most other perfumes. 

Spray works great and produces a fine mist.

Regular price of each is 26€, but Avon always has discounts. Currently you can get them for only 17.90€ (Slovenia). In each is 50 ml of product. You can buy Avon products through Avon sellers or find official Avon page in your country.

Avon Mesmerize Black

Mesmerize Black is floral oriental woody fragrance. It has notes of mandarin, jasmine and Australian sandalwood. 

First punch serves you with a very warm oriental woody scent. Mandarin is the only note that gives it a tad of freshness, but it really is a very strong and oriental scent. Later it becomes more of a lighter version, because of jasmine and in the end I really notice sandalwood as the note that stay on the skin for the longest time.

It's one of those exotic strong scents, which would be more suited for evening. I really like stronger scents and sandalwood is one of my favorite base notes. 

Avon Mesmerize

Mesmerize is one of the newest scents by Avon and  it's described as oriental floral fruity fragrance. It has notes of white peach, pink peony and sandalwood. 

On the contrary to stronger Black scent, this one is a bit more subtle, a lot sweeter and fruity, but still very oriental.

White peach is definitely the star of this scent. It's the first punch once you spritz it on skin and the sweetness of it lasts all through the day. Pink peony gives it a slight hint of floral, but not for a long time. At the end it's all about the sweetness and sandalwood. It's not as strong as Black, but a bit more subtle although it still kicks a nice strong base. 

I really like how a very sweet fruity scent is mixed with woody notes. It's an interesting combination, especially for those who like stronger scents, but also very sweet with bases like musk, sandawood, amber and top it off with fruits.

Both of these are Eau de Toilettes, which would mean that they're not as long lasting as Eau de Parfum. This is correct for Mesmerize Black, which actually fades away fairly quickly, but starts off a lot stronger than Mesmerize. I can't say the actual hours, but I'd say I almost can't smell it anymore after 5 hours. Whereas Mesmerize is a lot more long lasting. So much that I wouldn't call it toilette anymore. I can still smell it at the end of the day, so this is what, after 12 hours. I especially notice that it's still there, because I work out in the evening and the scent gets even stronger with me sweating. But keep in mind it's less powerful than Black in terms of the scent itself.

I adore both of these scents. In general, I love oriental, woody and sweet fragrances, so both of these are right up my alley. I like to wear Mesmerize Black for when I'm feeling a bit more edgy and I go for Mesmerize when I want that romantic dose of sweetness. Those scents are definitely not for those who like fresh, citrus or subtle floral fragrances. It's basically the opposite of those.

*Products were sent to me by Avon.

Obožujem lesne orientalske in sladke vonje in danes imam za vas dva taka. Avon Mesmerize Black je bil med Avonovim naborom že kar nekaj časa. Pred kratkim so mu dodali še sadno verzijo imenovano Avon Mesmerize. Vsekakor sem navdušena nad obema. 

Oba vonja imata praktično enako embalažo samo barvna shema je drugačna. Prideta v škatli z črno ali modro podlago in zlatim napisom. Ob straneh je dekorativen zlat vijugast dizajn, ki meni deluje precej orientalsko. 

Steklenički izgledata zelo lepo z zlatim dizajnom in zlatim kovinskim pokrovom. Všeč mi je, da sta steklenički tanki in precej majhni. Bolj kot sem pričakovala, da bosta. Ta parfuma rada vržem v torbico za na pot, ker sta dovolj majhna in nimata preveč izumetričnih oblik, kot večina embalaž drugih parfumov.

Sprej deluje dobro in dozira fino meglico.

Redna cena teh je 26€, ampak Avon ima vedno kakšna znižanja. Trenutno ju lahko dobite za samo 17.90€. V vsakem je 50 ml izdelka. Izdelke lahko kupite preko Avon posrednikov ali se obrnete na Avon Slovenija.

Avon Mesmerize Black

Mesmerize Black je cvetlično orientalsko lesna dišava. Vsebuje note mandarine, jasmina in avstralske sandalovine. 

Prvi vonj, ki ga začutite je topel orientalsko lesni vonj. Mandarina je edina, ki dodaje tej dišavi svežino, ampak v resnici je vonj bolj orientalski. Kasneje postane nekoliko lažji, zaradi jasmina in na koncu zelo prevladuje sandalovina, ki najdlje ostane na koži.

Je en teh eksotičnih močnih vonjev, ki bi bil bolj primeren za večere. Meni so zelo všeč močni vonji in sandalovina je ena mojih najljubših podlag v parfumih. 

Avon Mesmerize

Mesmerize je ena Avonovih novejših dišav in opisana je kot orientalsko cvetlično sadna dišava. Vsebuje note bele breskve, roza potonike in sandalovine.

Nasportno od Black vonja, je ta veliko bolj nežen, bolj sladek in sadni, ampak še vedno s pridihom orientalskega vzdušja.

Bela breskev je zvezda te dišava. Je prav stvar, ki jo vohamo ob nanosu in dišavi dodaja sladkobo skozi ves dan. Roza potonika doda rahel cvetlični pridih, ki pa ne traja dolgo. Na koncu je najbolj čutiti sladkobo bele breskve in sandalovino. Ni tako močna dišava kot Black, ampak nekoliko bolj subtilna verzija, čeprav je njena baza še vedno kar močna.

Zelo mi je všeč kako je kombiniran sadno sladki vonj z lesnimi notami. Zanimiva kombinacija, še posebej za tiste, ki imajo radi močne a tudi sladke vonje z podlagami kot so mošus, jantar in sandalovina, ki jih povrhu krasi sadje. 

Oba vonja sta toaletni vodici kar pomeni, da naj ne bi bila tako dolgo obstojna kot parfumske vode. To drži za Mesmerize Black, ki skozi dan izpuhti kar hitro, čeprav se začne veliko bolj močno kot Mesmerize. Ne morem govoriti o dejanskih urah, ampak recimo, da ga po petih urah več ne voham. Kar pa ne drži za Mesmerize, ki je zelo dolgo obstojen. Tako zelo, da si ne bi mislila, da gre za toaletno vodo. Ob koncu dneva po 12 urah ga lahko še vedno voham na svoji koži. To še posebej opazim, ker telovadim zvečer, ko začne parfum še bolj dišati zaradi mojega potenja. Ampak ne pozabite, da je kot sam vonj velik bolj nežen in manj močan kot Black.

Obožujem oba vonja. Na splošno so mi zelo všeč orientalski, lesni in sladki parfumi, zato sta oba čisto po mojem okusu. Mesmerize Black nosim, ko se počutim bolj drzno in Mesmerize zagrabim, ko si želim nekaj te romantične sladkobe. Ti dišavi vsekakor nista za nekoga, ki ima rad lahko sveže citrusne vonje ali nežne cvetlične. Dišavi sta pravzaprav nasprotje tega. 

*Izdelke mi je poslalo podjetje Avon.

The range is called Pure and it includes many other skin care products. Perfume is a blend of magnolia blossom, honey, rhubarb, peach, orange blossom, patchouli and vetiver. It costs 16.99€ and you get 50 ml of it (I bought it in Müller). The price is a bargain for such amount of product.

It has a nice transparent heavy glass bottle. Magnolia blossoms are printed all over the bottle. I will say I can see the top becoming loose and falling off with time. 

Regular spray pump and it disperses perfume really finely. 

The smell is simply amazing. When you spray it on it has a very sweet fruity smell, which quickly turns into a more sweet floral scent and later becomes like a comforting freshly washed clothes mixed with slight floral and woody notes. I love it. It's comforting, soft, yet kind of sweet and not too floral, because I don't like floral scents in general. It really is a unique blend that would be loved by many different people. This will be great summer fragrance, since it's not too strong or too sweet. 

I find that it lasts well. I wouldn't say it's really strong as some other scents, but I think this is also due to the scent itself, which is softer than most perfumes. I  still smell it on my skin at the end of the day, it's just not as intense, as when you spray it on. The bottle is very convenient, so you can easily carry it around and reapply it, when you need more. 

Perfume comes with a white paper box. It costs 19.90€ and you get 50 ml of it. That's one thing about Avon perfumes that I love. You can get some really huge amounts for a really low price.

The glass bottle is very interesting. I think it reminds me of flower or flower petals - especially the top part. It has gold details and writing. Definitely nice bottle to decorate the top of your drawer. I do find that this top is more decorative then functional. I can't see myself carrying this bottle around, since the top doesn't covers spray and you might end up with perfume sprayed all over your purse. Not practical rather more decorative.

Perfume is called Cherish and it's a musky floral scent. If you know me, I love strong and sweet scents. I love musk, it's one of my favorite scents. However I am more of a fruity, woody person, not so much floral. That being said, the musk in this fragrance is really strong and predominant. In my opinion the two notes that I smell the most are musk and orange blossom. The last one does give it a bit of floral scent to it, but the musk makes it very strong and creamy.

Top notes: Pink Pepper, Cherry Blossom.

Middle notes: Tiare Flower, Jasmine Sambac.

Base notes: White Musk, Sandalwood.

When I first spray it on, the most dominant scent is cherry blossom. Right after a while it smells pretty floral and later it becomes more creamy musky. It's an interesting combination. I would categorize it among classic floral and musky scents. It's not too strong, not too floral and definitely not too sweet. Combination of all these together in a very sophisticated elegant mixture.

As far as longevity goes, I've had better. It's not extremely long lasting, although it starts off as very strong perfume. So be prepared to spray it a few times during the day, if you want the fragrance to stay fresh and strong.

It's definitely not my usual fragrance and I don't think I would like it, if it wouldn't be for those woody musky base notes, which are my favorite perfume bases. If you like more classic floral scents and want that smoldering sexy power of musk and woody notes, than this is definitely for you. Cherries will give this fragrance a pinch of sweetness, but definitely very subtle sweetness.
