Matte finish.
.42 oz. net wt.

MY REVIEW
This powder is different in texture than the Ideal Flawless Pressed Powder.
The formula on this one is thicker.
I believe it's aiming to be like the Mac's Studio Fix Powder except is not too close.
It's harder to blend, it gave me a patchy look.
 One of the things I really disliked about this powder is that on the first use I swiped my brush accross it and it left that wet/dry look (I guess from my own face oils) on the top of the powder.
I hate it when that happens to my powders, I feel as they just don't work the same anymore.
 I also tried swatching the powder with my finger
and when I tried to swatch it to the back of my hand, it didn't even transferred.
It stayed on my finger =/
I have to use my scotch tape trick to remove the oils dried up on my powder everytime I use this powder.
In this case I'd much rather stick to my Ideal Pressed Powder
as it works great and better for touch ups.
The color I got on this is Light/Medium but it  is more on the orange side rather than yellow.
I really liked the texture on this powder if only the quality was better this would be a great med coverage powder.
I won't be repurchasing this powder again, not happy with the results.
I have pretty much tried all Avon powders and I think the Ideal Shade Powder is the best in my opinion since I only use it to control the oil.

If this powder worked for you let me know.
Hope this review was helpful.

Price $9.50


MY REVIEW
I had this mascara in my mu-junk drawer and I'm not sure why.
I like my mascaras to give me volume, fullness, definiton and lenght.
My favorite mascaras are the Maybelline Volum' Express Line.
So I started using this mascara and it gave me fullness, definition and lenght.
It defined and gave volume to my lashes without clumping, smudging or flaking.
Just like it says on its description.
I liked the brush because it actually does define your lashes even my bottom lashes. It it a flexible brush and does not feel harsh on your eyes like I've experienced with other mascaras.
It says to have magnetic fibers. I can actually see the fibers when I am looking at the brush but they do not bother me at all or flake or even have fall out of fibers. I don't even feel anything for that matter.
I did not experience any arritation in my eyes or any type of discomfort.
I also like to use it when I apply false lashes because it also defines them beautifully.
I usually pay about $8 for my Maybelline Mascaras.
On Avon Mascaras there are usually sales which is when I buy them, and can get them at about $4.99
I really like this mascara and would reccomend it if it is what you look for in a mascara as well.

So this is how my lashes look using this mascara
