This is a 'metallic' dark, blue-green colour that I wish was more of a true green.

Two coats.

Price:1/5  ($14.99 for 12mL)
New Name: Viridian
Effectiveness: 5/5

Avon - Ageless Accolade - Eye Cream

This is a really thick eye cream which really does make a difference (when you leave it on over night).

It doesn't have a strong scent, vaguely floral.

I have used my entire little jar :(

Price: 2/5 ($24.99 for 15g)
Scent:3/5 
Effectiveness: 5/5

Avon - Tropical Paradise - Kohl Eye Liner - Cobalt Blue

This is a bright blue eyeliner that has a really nice colour payoff.

It also isn't too hard :)

Price: **No longer sold
Scent: 2.5/5 (pencil smell)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Avon - Vanilla Soft Musk - Body Spray

This is a nice soft combination of vanilla and musk.
But it is so faint and has such a short lifetime.
I mean really short, like less than 15 minutes (and it's not just me getting habituated to it).

Price: 4/5 ($8.99 for 75g)
Effectiveness: 0/5
Strength: Weak
Lifetime: Very Short 
Time: Daytime
Season: In the dead heat of Summer (solely because it won't make anyone more uncomfortable than they already are).

Avon - Ultra Colour Rich - Mega Impact - Lipstick - Brilliant Berry

This  is a translucent berry lipstick with purple glitter.

Over the BJLL2 lip liner.

The finish is between glossy and satin.

Swatch!

I like the SFP 15 but don't like the glitter.
The angular mould of the lipstick is cute.

Price: 3/5 (~$19.99)
Scent: 3/5 (faint jam scent)
Effectiveness: 2/5

Avon - Supershock Brights Mascara - Emerald

This is a dark green mascara that has an amazing brush!

It isn't that obvious.

However, despite being a great shade, the colour payoff is really poor.

Price: **limited edition, no longer sold**
Scent: 1/5 (normal mascara smell meets house paint)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Same Product, Different Colour - Avon - Ultra Color Rich 24K Gold Lipstick - Golden Peach

This is a golden peach colour, with gold glitter.

Over nude lips.

It was quite nice :)

Avon - Simply Pretty - Mini Kohl Eye Liner - Gold

This is a mini gold eyeliner cream stick.

Over the Eye of Horus Selenite eye liner.

As a stand a lone eyeliner, it is pretty weak.
If you already have one, fine. If you want to get one, don't bother.

Price: 4/5 (probably was ~$5 for 0.9g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Avon - Skin so Soft - Replenishing Body Lotion + Argan Oil

It absorbs well.

That's good!

But it is very thin.

That's bad.

It is affordable.

That's good.

But it smells like sunscreen.

That's bad!

It also leaves a residue and isn't available at the moment.

Can I go now?

Price: 4/5 ($7.99 for 250mL)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 2/5

Avon - Ultra Color Rich 24K Gold Lipstick - Golden Rose

This lipstick has real (probably colloidal) gold in it, which I think is fun!

It is a soft pink colour with lots of gold shimmer.
I like it, but it can be a little drying.
It also isn't very long lasting.

*I have since found out that Avon did a limited edition run of lipsticks with ruby in it... I'm so mad I don't have one!

Price: 2/5 ($19.99)

Scent: 3/5 (vague berry)

Effectiveness: 2/5

This is a spicy, green, and floral scent.
I can't really nail down any specific notes.

Fragrantica lists the notes as green notes (yes), camelia (yes), and sandalwood (yes).

Price: 3/5 (~$33 for 50mL)
Effectiveness: 3/5
Strength: Medium
Longevity: Short
Time: Night time 
Season: Summer

Avon - Nailwear Pro+ - Nail Enamel - Sunshine

This is a bright, true yellow nail polish.

Two coats and you can still see through it.

It would take more than two coats to be truely opaque though :(


Price: 2/5 ($14.99 for 12mL)
New Name: *It can keep sunshine*
Effectiveness: 3/5

Avon - Only Delight - Eau de Toilette

I like the packaging, a thin glass bottle easy to carry in a purse.
The cap stays on well and the lid top is pocked to look like the centre of a daisy.
The flower is attached by elastic and can be re-purposed.
The orange-pink colour is a fun, tropical shade.

I detect ruby grapefruit, pineapple, and purple florals.

Fragrantica lists the notes as passionfruit, Bulgarian rose petals and blue iris.

Unfortunately it doesn't last more than 10 minutes and is quite weak when it is first on.


Price: 4.5/5 (~$27 for 50mL)
Effectiveness: 1/5
Strength: Weak
Longevity: Very short lifetime
Time: Daytime
Season: Summer

New Name: Blushing Beige
Effectiveness: 4/5

Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Colour - Avon Stardust Nail Enamel - Cherry Dazzler

This is red, matte finish glitter nail polish is really nice.
It only takes one coat for opacity.
It is a bit more pinkish than a true red.

The only downside is it wouldn't dry for me when I tried to put it on for Christmas, but it was 40°C here :c

Avon - Nail Experts - Conditioning Nail Enamel Remover - Non-acetone

This is just nail polish remover.

No more conditioning, no less drying, no less effective than any other.

Please don't seek it out specifically, but if you are facing a good deal on it, don't shy away either.

Scent: 0/5 (don't sniff this)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Avon - Anew - 10% Vitamin C Serum

I loved this!

I got so many comments while using this ("Are you ok? You look pale." = brighter skin) and I could see the improvement.

It smells citrus, oily, and slightly nutty. It soaks in well and skin immediately feel softer. 

Just remember to use it at night, as it may make your skin more sensitive to light.

Price: 2/5 ($35 for 30mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Avon - Skin so Soft - Hair Minimizing Deodorant

I know at least two Avon ladies so I thought I would give this a try.
(TMI FYI: I epilate/wax to remove body hair, I do this for me because I like my body without hair, not for anyone else)

As far as minimizing hair regrowth, it didn't help all that much, I didn't notice much of a different.

As far as being a deodorant, it did as a deodorant should.
The only negative is the smell, it smells like wheat to me... which isn't a bad smell, I just don't like smelling like wheat.

"Get rid of my underarm hair, thou!" Solution:

Embrace the pain!!!!!!! Muhahahaha!!!

Price: 4/5 (rrp $5.99 for 85mL)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 4/5
