Avon Smooth Minerals Makeup Review: Smooth Minerals Eyeshadow

avon smooth minerals eyeshadow review, makeup review, makeup blog, beauty review, beauty blog, beauty news I’ll admit, I am a total makeup snob. “Value” brands utilizing cheap ingredients are no value at all in my eyes.

The ingredients in Avon’s smooth minerals eyeshadow plants them in the “luxe” camp. Formulated with 100% naturally derived pignments, these shadows feel as smooth as silk when applied (a big selling point for me), and the colors are rich, intense and so blendable.

Each shadow is allergy and dermatologist tested. Avon gives smooth minerals eyeshadow a stamp of approval for those with sensitive skin.

This versatility is so useful during the holiday season, when so many of us dash from the office directly to a party!

Each blush is clinically and dermatologically tested to be suitable for sensitive skin (a welcome fact for any rosacea sufferers who may be reading this). The sifter was recently redesigned so there’s less counter-top mess (and less product wasted).

Textured Teal is a fairly new addition to the Avon color collection, introduced in Fall 2009 as part of “Tribal Teals”. Though Fall slowly morphed into Winter, this quad is still extremely relevant. Packed with cool, snowy blues an icy gray and ashen taupe, the palette of colors resembles a snow-scape on a clear day.

The price tag of this palette is as compelling as the colors! The true color eyeshadow quad is a mere $8!

Benefit Cosmetics Sugarbomb Review

They’re at it again! Just when I think Benefit has completely drained the well of shade ideas for their fabulous face powders, they manage to create yet another favorite!

Or, should I say FOUR favorites? That’s right. This tiny box contains four shimmery shades in a harlequin pattern, one a pinkish bronze (bottom), two shades of pink (top and right) and one peach (left). Swirled together, the combination of the four is an enchanting, glowy candy-coated shade that is to die for. And what better way to make yourself look delicious for that romantic Valentine’s Day date?

Retail price is $28.
