Avon True Colour Eye Shadow Quad Review

 
Hi everyone! I know I said I wouldn't be posting until after my exams but I just found this post I did a little while ago. I hope you enjoy!
 
I was looking in the AVON catalogue and spotted something called 'true colour eyeshadow quad'. It caught my eye as it was a little compact that had 4 different colours with numbers on it. The numbers are for the order in which you put them on and where. So I ordered the colour 'mocha latte' which is a very neutral compact.

 
On the back of the box it told you where to put each eye shadow. It's really easy to follow and I thought it would be a really good product to get someone if they are just starting to get into makeup. This was only £6 which I thought was quite reasonable. I think this is such a good idea and would defiantly purchase more. The only fault I have with this product is that the eye shadows don't last the whole day. When you first apply them, the colour is amazing, but throughout the day, the colour slowly fades. I might use the urban decay primer potion and see if that helps but that is the only fault I have with it. Overall I would rate this product 3/5 as it's such a good idea for beginners and is so easy to use however it doesn't last the whole day which lets it down.

The Beauty Blogger Tag!


Today I'm doing the beauty blogger tag, I hope you enjoy!

Why did you start blogging and how long have you been blogging for?
I started this blog in July however I didn't really properly start blogging until August as it was the summer holidays and I had quite a lot of spare time. I've always seen lots of blogs that I loved. I wanted to started a youtube channel originally but I'm not confident enough to so I decided to start a blog instead.
 
Whose blog did you fall in love with first?
I read zoella's blog all the time and sprinkleofglitter's but they weren't actually the people who actually inspired me to start an account. It was actually Evangeline Young Blog. Her blog is so pretty, like sprinkleofglitter and zoella's blog.
 
What was the first blogosphere hyped about product that you bought? Was it worth the hype?
Probably baby lips? I wanted to try it anyway but there was so many good reviews and what not I was obviously going to try it out.
 
What are you five favourite things about blogging and being a Beauty Blogger?
1) I just enjoy writing about things I love and telling other people
2) That people actually read it, even though I haven't got thousands of followers, I know that 3,000+ people have read my blog which is amazing!
3) The comments, I don't get a lot but when I do, I always smile. I love getting comments as I feel someone's actually read and appreciated my blog
I can't actually think of anymore. I love blogging a lot and would consider it a hobby, I love beauty and I love writing!
 
What have you learnt from being a Beauty Blogger? 
I'm still learning new things about blogging, and I wouldn't say I actually know a lot about blogging still. I've learnt how to lay out my posts a lot better. Well I hope I have?

What advice would you give to a beauty blogger just starting out? 
Just be yourself, that's all I can say. Don't copy someone else's blog. You can get inspiration but copying someone else is just boring. Be yourself, and make your blog how you want it. Not what you think people will like, you never know a lot of people may actually fall in love with your blog and actually prefer it to other blogs.

What are your top 5 makeup brands?
1) Boujouis - I love there foundation and lip products.
2) Barry M - its cheap and sells good quality makeup
3) MAC - even though it's incredibly expensive, I do love loads of their products
4) MUA - its a really cheap brand and their makeup is quite good quality for the cost
5) Maybelline - A LOT of my makeup is from Maybelline. I've never tried a different mascara other than there's. I just love Maybelline products!
