Review - AVON Luxe Lace the good and the bad

I have had these products a few weeks but it has given me chance to give them a good review and see what I actually reach for to use. There's some I adore and some I don't so less of my chit chat lets get to it!

The Eyeshadow quad
Price 
Was £8  now £5

This quad is called Lace Hues, Lace Electric is also available, I was very disappointed in the colour payoff from these. At a push and lots of layers I got the blue and green to show quite nicely but I don't want that level of effort to get an average amount of eyeshadow on.

Check the swatches below, I swatched them how I would swatch a normal eyeshadow. You can see how light they are.

I liked the palette but the pigment let it down.

Ultra colour rich Lipstick

Price
Was £7 Now £5

This shade is called Pout and it is a precious vintage style pink. I was impressed with this, the product is moisturising but still delivers a nice coverage. I would recommend this to those who like soft pinks and those who want to start wearing lipsticks. This is a great colour to start your love affair!
Comes in 3 shades, Pout, Frostiest Mauve and Instant Mocha

Great lipstick for your neutral lip days and packaging is cute too.

Avon Luxe Lace Supershock mascara
 Price 
Was £8 Now £5

This is the new mascara from the Lace Luxe collection, I will admit straight up that I didn't even try it as I knew I wouldn't like it. The wand is very thick and chunky which makes for messy application and mistakes. I have tried these wands before and I will go as far as to say I hate them. I have quite large eyes and they always scratch my tightline so god only knows how those with smaller eyes use this? It's one of those with millions of tiny plastic spike too which does separate lashes but makes them look very thin.

Supershock Gel eyeliner
Price
Was £6 Now £3

I don't have to say much other than this is a MUST BUY! I cannot get over this product, it's such amazing quality for the price I mean £6 was fantastic but £3 is incredible. 
It comes in two colours black and silver, I don't have the silver but I am making sure I get my hands on one. I will say in my opinion that it is AS good as Stila Onyx. 
Use this as a base, liner or just smudge on the eye for a rock chick look.

What do you think of this collection or Avon as a whole?

  4. I was just looking at those amazing eyeliners on the avon site this morning. I've read that they're impossible to sharpen though. What do you think?

  6. I bught the smokey eyes sqad, and I agree with you that some colors are very light, except for the mocha latte and the sandy corals, those I did like it more, I will try the black liner and cause I run out of black liner and I was looking for some real good one. thanks for sharing.
