The third of the shades from Avon’s Gel Finish shade releases for July-August 2017 is Terracotta. If you missed them, see my swatches of Rose Noir and Head In Clouds.

Avon Gel Finish Head In Clouds Swatches & Review
The second of the new shades in the Avon Gel Finish release later this month is a beautiful medium grey, Head in Clouds. Not too light or dark, grey doesn’t scream summer for me but this just works. For a paler colour, the polish is surprisingly opaque. Not quite a one coater but fully opaque […]

The second of the teas from the latest Freshly Squeezed collection. DAVIDsTEA Orange Passionfruit is an organic fruit infusion that just screams summer.

DAVIDsTEA Strawberry Lemonade Tea (Freshly Squeezed Collection)
DAVIDsTEA recently released a new mini collection, The Freshly Squeezed collection. It contains three fruity teas perfect for summer and I knew I wanted to try Strawberry Lemonade first.
