Avon A Box Pro Picks Box For Fall 2017

Avon A Box Pro Picks Fall 2017 Skincare and Makeup - All Products

Many of us have dropped our subscription box habit for numerous reasons.  The main one for me was not loving the boxes and thinking that saving the $10-20 spent on each could be better used on stuff I love.  Add in the cost of shipping and some of the Canadian ones going out of business increasing the shipping cost from the US if you want them and the new Avon A Box program looks pretty good.   Rather than mystery items,[Read more]

Avon Gel Finish Terracotta Nail Polish Swatches & Review

Avon Gel Finish Terracotta Nail Polish Stamped with Mdu Black and XY-Z01 stamping plate swatch

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.  Still to come is Violuxe and Clover.  Terracotta is well named and the colour matches the name.  Like the others I have tried so far, it is not quite a one coater but fully opaque in two coats and no bald spots.  Dry time is good.  By the time you are[Read more]
