Avon Ultra Colour Matte Lipsticks

Whenever I go round to my dad's house, I can't resist having a flick through the latest Avon brochure his partner would've picked up from work. From experience though, I've found their products to be a bit hit and miss, so I tend to just stick to the offers when trying out new things, so I haven't spent too much if I'm disappointed. When I spotted these matte lipsticks on offer at 2 for £10 in one of the recent brochures, I was very tempted to give them a go.

Satin Taupe Versus....Satin Taupe!

I was flicking through one of the recent Avon brochures, when I noticed that one of their True Colour Eyeshadows was called Satin Taupe and looked very similar to one of my favourite eyeshadows, MAC's Satin Taupe. With MAC's single eyeshadows costing a whopping £10 each, I decided to order Avon's cheaper alternative, just £4, and compare the two. Have I found a good dupe?

Avon Mega Effects Mascara

I've been quite intrigued by this strange contraption ever since it was released last year. I'd never seen a mascara quite like it - but was it the latest great innovation in mascara application or just a gimmick? I wanted to wait until this was on offer before giving it a go. I'd seen very mixed reviews, and I wasn't sure if I was going to love it or hate it, so I didn't want to pay full whack to find out!
