Yeah Avon’s gotten a lot better. I especially like Mark’s products and see them recommended all the time in beauty mags such as Allure. I’ll definitely try some of the glazewears. That apricot shade is lovely. Thanks for the heads up on the sale!

Whew! I’m so glad that someone else thinks Avon is cool! I was beginning to question my taste/judgement, as I have other old-lady like habits/qualities. I haven’t tried any of their makeup (don’t want to make MAC jealous), but I’m in L.O.V.E. with their nail polish. You can usually find it on sale for $2.99 or $3.99. Their selection isn’t vast, but the basic colors are covered, including shimmers & glitters. The reason I really love it is because it’s the only polish that will stay on my paper-thin nails for at least 3 whole days without the tiniest chip. All other name-brand polishes chip on me, usually within hours, or I’ll notice a chip the next day while driving to work….and that’s with seche vite topcoat. So, anyway, yeah Avon!!!

I’ve always loved Avon (yep- even during the dark ages when no one liked them, heh) and lately they have stepped it up and are delivering WONDERFUL products. The Glazewear Lipsticks is indeed Avon’s Counterpart to MAC’s slimshine, but a whole lot cheaper. While I’ve never tried Slimshine, since Avon’s is just so nice I’m not even tempted. The color is so pretty and doesn’t feel heavy like a lipstick but has lots of shine. Champagne Glow the one I use the most

Yay for Avon! I think it copies most of the ideas from MAC and make them prettier and cheaper. Glazewear lipstick probably is the same as MAC slimshine. And Avon also has a mineralized duo eyeshadows that are similar to the ones MAC released last year as a LE.

I read somewhere that the demographic of Avon and Mary Kay has shifted to minority ladies in the Asian, Hispanic, and Black communities. So Avon big wigs probably put on their thinking caps and made new products for the new market. Plus it’s expanding globally (China, hello!) so there’s more variety. I remember there are some products available overseas but not in the U.S and vice versa, plus the formulations may be different too (low suds in the U.S, high suds in Asian countries etc)

I had to throw in my 2 cents, about a month ago Avon president or somebody of that caliber was in Charlie Rose so that’s how I know.

I am so not having luck finding corals that suit me well. I tried on the Clinique glosses this weekend and it was way too sticky for me! he problem I have with most corals is that it tends to look ashy on me, is that weird? But, I want juicy coral-tangerine lips!beautytalks last blog post..Pigment Love!
