It has been a while since I wanted to start writing about beauty brands like Avon, Oriflame, or Artistry. They are beauty brands like any other but characterized by the way their products are sold: catalog sales.
I have been seeing Avon products in my house since I was a child, my mother has always bought them, from family sizes body showers and body milk to beautiful lipsticks, and delicious perfumes. Their products have become a classic in our house, products that we can always turn to, some seasons more than others.
Since my teenage days, my favorite products from
Avon have been their mascara, lipsticks, perfumes, and shower gels, so I
decided to start from here, sharing my opinion about their products. My only issue
with the brand is related to their facial skincare lines, but since Avon has been launching a lot of new products, and seems like they have been improving
their formulas and ingredients lists, makes me want to try more products from them.
So… let’s start with the products I have been using these last days, just one thing: I’m very impressed!
AVON SENSES.
If you have been reading me for a while, then you will
know that I have sensitive skin, a dry in my body, and a combination of oily in my
face, so I can’t use any type of product. But, after having tried their White Lily Bubble Bath, I decided to give their shower gels an opportunity, to end up loving them.
- Secret Lagoon, shower gel.
This shower gel reminds me of pure nature,
like bathing in the middle of a lush forest, full of fruit trees and delicious
aromas. But the most surprising thing was its texture, the foam is rich, doesn’t
dry out the skin, and after rising, it leaves the skin clean and with a natural
aroma that made me fall in love.
- Sweet & Joyful, shower cream.
It smells like a delicious citric candy, and instead of the body, the aroma permeates the entire bathroom too. The only thing I noticed in contrast with the first one, is the fact that even being a shower cream, the foam is less rich.
But even if it does not dry out the skin, I have been able to feel that noticeable difference.
FAR AWAY GLAMOUR, Perfume.
My second favorite perfume from Avon, after Far Away Infinity. Is like the deep dark version of the Infinity one, but still mysterious and elegant. I like to use it for formal events or some informal ones, but for me is absolutely not for every day and every moment.
CÉLÉBRE, Eau de cologne.
I really love this fragrance, I remember buying it because I
needed an everyday light fragrance to combine with my body spray, and this just
turned perfect: floral, fresh, and light.
The only thing I missed is the durability since it doesn’t last as much as I would like.
CANDY CORN LUSH LIPS BALM, Color Trend.
I know that maybe it will sound strange, but this lip balm along with the Neutrogena one, are the ones that really help me treats my lips when they are dry. And I love it even more for its smell and taste… just delicious.
