mark Pure Eye and Lip Strips



I'm an Avon junkie lately.

Yea so? And?

Can you believe I said it aloud? It's kinda like going to an AA meeting and admitting that you do indeed have an addiction!

This is not your mama's Avon anymore kids. Seriously lately they have been introducing some seriously cool stuff!

Currently I'm really loving the pure eye and lip strips and yes they are sitting very comfortably in my virtual shopping cart awaiting me to hit submit!





The colors of the shadows aren't so wow aspiring but I must say that both lippie palettes look yummie to my eyes and since I'm busy sporting nudes and neutrals lately I'll go ahead and admit that even the eyeshadows look kinda nice! Plus the price is right at $5.99 USD per a set!

Am I the only one loving these?

You're definitely not alone, I've become an avon junkie lately too. And not just the mark collection either, although I can't wait till their new mark skincare collection comes out.

I've already had the shadow strips (Nude) for a month or so (Oh, the joys of having an Aunt who sells Avon!...and lets me order stuff at her price!), and I was actually kinda of disappointed :( They are no where near the caliber of the usual Mark eyeshadow singles. Definitely on the sheer (but shummery) side but used wet you get more intensity/color from them.

I'm sorry if I was such a killjoy! And for my first time commenting on your lovely site, too!

You're right, you know: AVON has really changed since I last had an AVON mania many years ago.

Their products, and especially the makeup line, have improved a great deal.

It's really cool that there's a small store in Budapest where one can take a look at the products before buying anything. This way we don't have to rely on the photos or color swatches in the brochure. :-)

Come to think of it, I kinda like their jewelry collection too, although I usually make my own necklaces and rings.

hiya Izar! Missed you around here!

I agree. It's been quite different lately ;)

Many of the items including cosmetics and skincare are actually quite good surprisely!

I wish we had something similar as I always find the color swatches on the internet are very wrong! Must be nice having a local shop to see items in :)

I kinda like their jewelry myself! I have a few necklaces and some earrings from years back and they still look great today!!!!!

Hallo!
I also like many AVON products, even though I haven't checked them out for a while now.
However some of their products are my staples - such as their hand cream with shea butter - smells deliciously!
And their nail polish in Femme is one of the best shades I ever used, I believe. :-)
