My AVON Experience - And Some Reviews

Hey everyone and happy weekend! So I wanted to talk really quickly about my AVON experience. It's been a while since the last time I bought anything from Avon, in fact, I think it's been more than 5 years. I was not on the Beauty Blog Day which took place this month, but I noticed Avon was a sponsor, and that made me think how I missed their products and how much fun it was to go through their catalogue. So, I got a move on and I ordered a few things. Overall, I'd say I'm super happy with their products. All my products arrived very fast and I was not disappointed. I got mostly care and body products, not make-up (because I have too much of those anyways). The products smell amazing. I love the packaging as well - actually, I got this perfume because the bottle looked so cute, EVEN THOUGH this perfume's scent wasn't featured in the catalogue - thankfully, I'm in love with it. This is a testament of how much the Avon's perfume bottle's appearance is similar to the scent - if you love the packaging, you will most likely adore the scent as well. However I do not recommend taking a chance - many scents are available for testing on the pages of the catalogue (including mine, which is featured in the newest catalogue), so maybe it's best to try it before you buy it. Like I said, reviews will be coming soon, but in this post I will review quickly some of the products I purchased which are no longer available to buy.

Avon naturals, Moisturising Vanilla hand cream

I've been testing this for a few days now - the smell is good, not too intense for my taste, but it's more of a bitter-vanilla than the sweet-vanilla that I expected - but still smells great. What I can say about this is that it's very fast absorbing, so I'll probably carry it in my purse. Can't say much if it works or not, since my hands are not dry at the moment, I think it's just your regular everyday hand cream. Seems to work just fine. ;)

Avon naturals vivid, Violet and Lychee, scented spritz

This smells so good - I'm in love! This is perfect - I just spray it on my skin, it absorbs instantly (it's a very light mist), and it just smells gorgeous - not too intense, just a light breeze of violets. Gorgeous - this will be great now as the warmer days are approaching and I need some instant freshness. When I spray this, my whole day cheers up!

Avon senses, Citrus burst, after shower moisture mist

When I saw this in the catalogue, I thought it would be the same as the violet spray - a water mist, but it's not. It's more of a very light skin lotion. I like the scent, it's more intense than the other ones, though. What I love about this is - it's very fast absorbing, doesn't leave my skin oily, and it leaves my skin super soft. It's much easier to apply than my other lotions, so I'll be using it a lot now.

And here is next month's catalogue, I can already tell I'll get myself in trouble...hehe. When was the last time you ordered something from Avon? Have you tried their perfumes? Or their jewelry - I'm thinking about getting some of their jewelry, so I'd love to hear your experiences.

You can check out AVON's website for more info and how to order: AVON HRVATSKA, or check out next month's catalogue HERE, also check out their croatian facebook page HERE. See you in the next post, and thanks for stopping by

Four Amazing Body Products

Happy Thor's day! First of all, sorry for the lack of nail polish related posts. Winter has come and my hands are a mess and my nails are so short and weak. I'm drinking some special vitamins, so we'll see if that'll work. Anyways, today I wanted to talk about four body products that I've been using and they're all amazing.

Balea Creme-Oil Bodylotion, Limited edition: Balea is dm's own brand. This is by far my favorite body product ever. Seriously. Leaves my skin smooth for days. Easy, smooth application. And the smell is to die for, and it's so subtle and light. There is also another version of this product available, the packaging is very similar, but the other one has pistachio. 10/10

Balea Shower Peeling, Buttermilk & Lemon, Limited Edition: This peeling shower gel smells amazing, and it does the job well. Leaves my skin smooth and soft, and it's not too rough. I've been looking for a great shower peeling, and I've finally found it. Easy to open and close so it's easy to use in the shower (I hate products that I can't open so I end up breaking a nail aaargh!). Great product. 10/10

Neutrogena Deep Moisture Body Lotion - Dry Skin: This product comes in a few versions, I got the one for dry skin. The non-greasy, fast absorbing formula leaves your skin moisturized. This product is supposed to be applied after taking a shower/bath. I love the smell of it (that typical body-lotion smell). And it does leave my skin soft and silky. However, I am not too happy about the packaging. I just prefer different a kind of packaging, though this is more convenient to use. You get 250ml of product. I need this for the winter because my skin gets so dry. I actually do prefer the Balea bodylotion more than this product. 8/10

Neutrogena Fast Absorbing Light Balm: The smell is amazing, the kind rich body creams have. I love the packaging, it's easy to use in a hurry. It applies easy and covers well and has a very light texture. It doesn't leave your skin sticky, so you can put clothes on right after application. I've used it also on my hands and I've been loving it, you only need a small amount and your dry skin feels instantly nourished. It really is fast absorbing. You get 300ml, and I got it in dm when it was 50% off, so it's was a great deal. There are three different kinds you can choose from to best suit your skin's needs. 10/10

I saw the Balea peeling gel on this BLOG and it was a great recommendation, and I found out about the Balea bodylotion on a blog by a girl called Josipa, and I just can't seem to find her blog so I can link it here. :( If I find it later, I'll add it. FOUND IT! LINK Lately I've been trying out products that bloggers have been recommending and I've found some amazing stuff. Have you tried any of these out? Does your skin need special care during the winter? I actually have very oily skin, but come winter, and the skin on my body becomes super dry. So I need to put lotions all the time (It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again LOL). I'm so happy I found some great products. Bring it on Winter, I'm ready! ;)
