eos lip balm-summer fruit

Product Description
eos lip balm is 95% organic, 100% natural and parabin and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps your lips moist , soft and sensationally smooth.

My Opinion
My lips have been very dried lately, so my lipgloss or lipstick do not look so good.
I saw this at CVS and I remembered all the hype on you tube so thought I may give it a try. Since this product says to be organic, it is what caught my attention. I got it in the scent Summer Fruit. It smells like peach with mango to me. After using it it did moistourize my lips, the dry skin actually went away. The packaging is catching it looks like an easter egg, my husband was kind a making fun of me when I pulled it out, and I have to hide it from my 1yr old.
Price is $3.29 but I got it free afer the extra bucks I got for buying it. So it was a good deal for me.
So far I am pleased with the results and I want to purchase other scents.

Right now I am experiencing very dry skin with this cold weather so I need you guys to help me on giving me tips of what I can use to keep my face and lips hydrated.

MY FAVORITE MASCARAS

THE FALSIES
This is my current HG Mascara.
It gives me volume, color, curl and lenght all in one. It is just awesome.
The Brush is a spoon shaped like brush, you can use it in different ways to get different effects.
This give me that dramatic look I love to add to my looks.

 L'OREAL CARBON BLACK
This is also a great mascara for volume, lengh and pigmentation.
I have put this aside since the Falsies came out but will definetly keep using it.

the COLOSSAL
This is the same effect as the Falsies except that the brush is different. It is a large thick brush, I do believe that the shape of the brush helps the effect your mascara gives you.


So far these are my 3 favorite mascaras. I have to say my all time favorite has always been the Maybelline brand. I honestly have never been tempted to buy an expensive brand.
 I'm happy with these.

Well let me know what you guys think, or what else is out there that I haven't tried that can be good as well.
Looking forward on your comments.

At this time of the year my skin starts misbehaving so bad.
 My skin gets extremely dry.
I have been purchasing products from the line of Artistry and until now I have been satisfied with the results of most of the products I have purchased.
On to the review
Lip Polish-Lately I wasn't able to wear lipstick or lipgloss because my dead skin from my lips just showed and nothing seemed to make it better.
using this polish removed the dead skin and left my lips soft and smooth.
Lip conditioner-This is a creamy formula that hydrates my lips instantly I carry this with me everywhere now.
its not sticky, does not  have a bad smell and it really works.
This product is a bit pricey but I really don't regreat buying it as it helped my dried lips.

I hope this helps and if any of you is familiar with this product line give it a try.
I know they have a website and now there are representatives out there like with avon.

Avon True Color Eyeshadow Quad

 My friend ordered a  True Color Quad in Purple Haze and the colors were super pigmented and very nice, so I ordered 2 of the Color Quads
Mocha Latte
Romantic Mauves



MOCHA LATTE
This quad is actually my favorite between the 2 I purchased.
Color pigmentation is Good better with a base though.
Lasting Power well I used it and it stayed on all day but again I used and ES base
I was able to call them a dupe for some of the Mac eyeshadowas I own.
 Top row
1st. color is similar to Mac's Shroom
2nd. color is similar to Mac's Cork
Bottom row
3rd. color is in between  Mac's Woodwinked and Satin Taupe
4th. color is similar to Mac's Charcoal



ROMANTIC MAUVES
I have to say only the 1st. top color has good pigmentation.
The rest of the colors are not very good.
You can still achieve a good eyeshadow look if you wear a base and work with it for a while to build color.
Great for a soft look you may want to wear on a casual day.

I only found 2 of these colors that can dupe Mac's Eyeshadows
Bottom Row
1st. color is similar to Mac's Shale
2nd. color is similar to Mac's Trax
 The color is very alike and it has the gold glitter specs on it like Trax


This is Purple Haze
It kind of reminds me of Mac's Togetherness Trio from In the Groove Collection
Pigmentation is just Gorgeous


I have order the Denim Blue and Earthones Quad
I will make a review once I receive them.

Hope you all enjoyed this review.
more Avon reviews on the way.

Luv Laura
