Why Does No One Talk About The Avon Luxe Range?
Sunday, June 12, 2016Today's post is something that I'm really excited about because I feel like I am definitely sharing a hidden gem with you. One of the most iconic makeup brands of all time, Avon, has released a brand new, luxurious makeup range that you probably haven't of heard of before.
I can 100% say that I never thought I would see myself using Avon products, let alone sharing them here on my blog with you. I thought that it was for women that were older than me and I kind of just blew it off without thinking about it. But then a couple weeks ago I received an email about their new Luxe Range. I saw some gorgeous pictures of the packaging and I thought, why not?
I am so, so, so happy that I said yes to trialling out this range because they've created a few great products.

Starting out with the Luxe Silken Foundation, #yas because there is a pump! Sadly as you can see the lid packaging for one of my foundations broke during transport, but everything else about the foundations and rest of the range is still intact.
I received three shades and the one most suited to me at the moment is Medium.
The formula feels quite cold upon application and is pumped out in a medium consistency. When applying it, I did notice quite a strong, yet pleasant perfume smell. However, if you don't like perfume scented products, you might give this one a skip. The foundation becomes quite silky to the touch. Coverage is medium and the finish is super close to matte, but not quite 100%. Once set with a powder, I actually don't have any problems with the foundation transferring, so if you're after a non-transferable foundation, I think you'd really like this.
Longevity wise, I get a decent amount of wear. Probably 5 hours like the above photo, and then I need to touch up with a little bit of powder, but I am extremely oily so keep that in mind.
Both the Luxe Couture Lipsticks and Luxe Couture Creme Lip Glosses are extremely pigmented and smooth. I particularly appreciate the applicator of the lip glosses because its the perfect size for easy application. The Lip Gloss is a little sticky, but it's nothing too offensive because I'm completely used to lip glosses having a bit of the sticky factor.
Luckily all of the lipstick shades are ones I usually gravitate to. However, because I am a sucker for neutrals, my favourite is Nude Slip.
Pigmentation wise, I think the Blush and Eyeshadows are pretty good for their price range. For example, the eyeshadows are priced at $18.95 while a Maybelline Nudes Palette will set you back $25.95. I definitely think that the Avon eyeshadows are smoother than the nudes palette and they're also more pigmented. Out of the two eyeshadow palettes I have, my favourite would be Cocoa Couture.
This range has really taught me to not be so stuck in my thoughts about a makeup brand. There's always great products in every brand and just because I thought it was for another demographic, that shouldn't have stopped me. It also makes me think of other brands I might have just said no to, that I should probably go back and consider.
You can purchase these products from the Avon Website or through any Avon consultants you might know. The prices for this collection range between $14.95 to $22.95
