For the last week, I have done a test drive of several items from Avon‘s fall line. I want to say that this is not your mother’s Avon, but to be honest, it probably is your mother’s Avon– a true value brand that offers quality makeup at a very affordable price-point.
The SuperCurlacious Mascara lengthens and flips my lashes out pretty well without making them feel crusty or hard, so kudos on that.
I’m not really a lipstick fan at all (I have been carrying around Burt’s Bees lip balm for as long as I can remember), but the Smooth Minerals Lipsticks are very creamy and almost feel like a lip balm — no dryness. Malted Mineral and Plum Craze are great shades.
I love eyeliners with the built in sponge on one end that you can smudge with, like this Kohl eyeliner has, but I am sort of clumsy with eyeliner, so I usually prefer a cream eyeliner to a pencil.
Their Nocturnal nail color is also totally chic for fall — in person to me it actually looks like a cross between a green and a beige and a brown…I love it.

I really wanted to post some pics of me actually wearing the makeup (which I am wearing today!) but they came out looking totally strange and silly– close-ups of your eyeballs are never good. Anyway, all in all there are some great options here with Avon — and at fantastic prices. I would definitely recommend trying some of them out for yourself!
