Avon: Your Thoughts?

I just wanted to ask you all something in this post. My mums friend from work is an Avon representative and has given her a catalogue, now as she doesn't have that big of an interest in makeup as I do, she's given it to me and has asked me if I want anything.

Now, I have never ordered from Avon as I've always thought of it for older women (don't know why!?) but over the past year, I feel as though it's been mentioned more on blogs and throughout YouTube.

I am writing this to ask you all what you think of Avon, and whether you think it's worth me ordering anything from there or whether you think that it's kind of pointless? (:

I would also love to know what you guys think I should pick up from there? Or what I should steer clear of! (:

Thanks my lovelies!

Jess,

Horoscopes.. I'm addicted!

I just wanted to tell you all about an app for my beloved iPhone 4 I've come across in the past few weeks. It's Elle horoscopes uk..




This app shows daily,monthly and yearly horoscopes for each star sign. As it is for Elle and not for astronomers,it kind of dums down the horoscope for you and doesn't try to confuse you with the mumbo jumbo of 'Venus has come into your sign this month' and 'the comet is in your zone' as to me and I'm guessing to many others, this doesn't really make sense!

This was mine for today..




I understand this and since I'm only fifteen, I'm guessing the majority of the population who are Interested in their horoscope would understand it.

I've kind of been addicted to it and tend to read it at the start of everyday as it gives me 'an aim' to achieve rather than just wasting a day!

This was a kind of pointless post but still, if you're interested in your horoscope and this type of thing, then you might want to download it! It's free as well! (:

Some little purchases...

Firstly... The reason why I haven't been posting is because my camera has broken! I haven't been able to take any pictures, therefore have had not much to write about. However, I have figured that it's the words that matter and not the pictures! So, I am going to use pictures off of google images hope that It's okay for you all! (:

PhotoReady Compact Make Up - 

I swear that at the drugstore, they are really trying so hard to incorporate technology so much into their makeup and beauty products it is almost ridiculous! I think that they may think that including teachnology makes beauty-addicts want to buy their makeup, as high-end don't really use that technique as for them- it's the product inside!  Anyway.. onto the product itself! I loved the Revlon PhotoReady foundation anyway, so I really wanted to try this when the advert came onto the TV. 

However, I didn't expect what I saw when I went to look at it in boots..

here is where the foundation comes out of! No, it doesn't come off- It basically liquifies the foundation and breaks it down rather than it being a very thick consistency. It's a great foundation and it's really nice! I used it this morning and it leaves a very natural finish to the face. I would say this is a medium coverage foundation, even though it is pretty build-able. It feels extremely lightweight on the skin and for me this has made an excellent first impression on me!    Pick it up now from boots for £9.99 until 28th February, then it will be raised to £12.99.

No7 Spring Collection 2011 - Lipstick in Grace

This is a gorgeous neutral colour and I really like it. At £10.00, I think it is a bit highly priced for a drugstore lipstick, as you can pick up one at MAC for £13.50! However, I don't think the quality is any less than a MAC one, the other colour looked a lot like MAC's Viva Glam GaGa Lipstick, however I didn't swatch it as I knew I wanted this one as I'd seen it on so many other blogs! (:  

The packaging is cute, but however because it's only cardboard, I can see it looking very battered after a week in my bag! It's a very nice creamy and moisturising consistency and I think it really feels nice on the lips. It's kind of a weird colour- In the tube it looks brown, when swatched it looks like a cute rosy pink colour and when on the lips it looks like a my-lips-but-better colour!  I would defiantly also urge you to go and pick this one up to if your on the look out for a nice neutral colour for the spring! (: 

All in all, I'm quite happy with the bits I picked up yesterday, even they were only two things! (:

IMATS - My Experience!

It was amazing! It was the first time I'd ever been to imats and I have to say it was way above and beyond my expectations. I brought so much and will be hauling that on my YouTube channel as it would be to 'picture heavy' for one blog post :)

I loved my experience and it was such a good atmosphere. We got a one-day pass and we went into a few of the lectures and talks which were really interesting. However,I really wanted to go to the YouTube guru talk which was on at 9:30 and we didn't get there until 11:00 because we live about an hour away from London.
Alexandra palace was gorgeous and a great venue to hold something like this!

I saw one of my favourite YouTube guru's - Samantha from beauty crush :) me and her were both at the MACPro stand. However I didn't get to say hello because it was so busy around the mac stand!

All in all,it was an amazing day with some amazing deals and purchases. I'm so glad I went and if any of you are un-decided on whether to go either tomorrow or next year then I really would urge you to visit!
