This is my place to be as girly as I like and happily know that there are others out there who can relate. I have been slow about updating but I am slowly but surely getting off my arse and trying to update more often ^^

Finally getting around to updating. I got my Avon shipment in on Friday, Dec. 12th after I got home from work =3
Been a bit busy and ended up doing a little unplanned discount makeup shopping trip in town so I've had a good bit to swatch and prepare for posting.
All the stuff taken out of the box:



I was so excited when it arrived. I've gotten Avon stuff before but very few things and had never tried mark.
I ordered the mark. Serious Case of Glam . It's the best way to try out all kinds of their products all in one bag.
Serious Case of Glam contents:
Sydney Flip for It Fall Kit- Natural, earthy colors great for all skintones.
Glow Xpert face shimmer in Champagne Glow- Color is accurate to the name. Creamy liquid shimmer perfect for highlighting or mixing with foundation for an all over glow.
Liquid Eyeliner/Mascara hook-up- Eyeliner in Medusa (Dark greyish brown) & Mascara in Blacklash
Bonus hook-up connectors (^for said 'hook-up'^)
5 Limited Edition mini brushes- Great size brushes especially for on the go use. All 5 are labeled for convenience.
Brushed include: Blush, Concealer, Eyeshadow, Eyeliner, & Lipcolor.
and finally an adorable little red satin make-up bag with silver glitter detail to store it all in.

Serious Case of Glam swatches:

In that same order I got a few little extra things that were on sale at the time.


Avon Satin Deluxe Eyeshadow in 'Sandstorm'
Avon Light & Luminous Face Highlighter in 'Warm Shimmers'
Avon Big Lip Color Pencil in 'Pink Champagne'
Avon 5-in-1 Portable Nail File

Pretty awesome stuff overall. The eyeshadow duo is a really good size and easy to apply. The shadows are a little soft but I didn't have a lot of fallout or anything.
The face highlighter has such pretty colors but beware a little bit goes a looong way. Adds a nice warmth to your face and blends well.
The lip color pencil is nice and smooth to apply. The color is pretty pigmented but can go on sheer with a light hand. I really like the color, however, I was expecting more of a champagne (hence the name) but it looks like more of a rose when applied.
Finally, my handy dandy nail file ^^ I love this thing.
The one I had in my purse prior to this ended up so worn out since the surface was exposed to my everyday item shuffling in my bag. The Avon one has 5 sides, all with different purposes, and slides closed just like a paper fan. The surfaces are protected and it takes up very little space, can even be attached to a key chain.

All in all I am very happy with my purchase. So happy that just a few days after getting all of it in the mail, I ordered more from the site. Lots of stuff on sale so it'll be a larger haul but won't be here for a few days so hopefully I can catch up on stuff in that time.
