Avon Naturals Herbal Neem and Linzhi Glowing Moisturizing Cream and Mask - Review

In January, Avon launched the Neem and Linzhi Glowing Moisturizing Cream and Face Mask, infused with neem and essential vitamins for bright and moisturized skin. Avon is a brand that I really like and their products suit my skin very well. I've been trying the new cream and mask for quite some time now and I must say that both have really impressed me. 

Here's some more information about the two products:

Naturals Herbal Cream & Mask also has Linzhi, a rare mushroom that is used as a preventive measure and to strengthen body immunity. The herbal ingredients Neem and Linzhi will leave skin looking radiant, energized and rejuvenated. The cream & mask come with three beauty benefits: 

• Makes your skin glow
• Renews your skin
• Improves skin smoothness

Avon Naturals HERBAL Glowing Moisturizing Cream

In winter, my skin tends to become really dry so I need a cream that keeps my skin hydrated for a long time but does not make it greasy and shiny. This moisturizing cream does all that! The texture of the cream is light, it smells refreshing, applies evenly, does not clog pores, gets absorbed into the skin quite fast and because one of the ingredients is neem, also prevents pimples from coming up. Usually, one would not think that a neem based cream would be suitable for dry skin, but this one is just great for me. The hydration lasts for nearly 5-6 hours and it does not irritate skin. So, a safe bet for all skin types!

Avon Naturals HERBAL Glowing Moisturizing Mask

Love this mask! It's a clay mask but the texture is not very heavy. Again, I love the light neem smell and after washing off, the skin looks really refreshed and clean. I've used it a lot during winter and it did not dry out or irritate my skin at all. So a product suitable for all skin types. I did not see my skin 'glowing' after using the mask but I like the squeaky clean feeling it gives. 

Both products are priced at Rs 249 for 50 gms and i think they are great value for money. They are not completely free of chemicals but contain products good for the skin. Try them out if you are looking out for an affordable face cream and mask.

Avon Winter Makeup Tips by Neha Khanna

Sunday Brunch Look

• To get the look right, it is essential to use compact or loose powder to set the foundation and control oil
• Use Avon Glimmerstick Diamond Eyeliner – Twilight sparkle and create a thick/thin liner, depending on your preference
• Smudge the liner to get an eye shadow effect followed by Super Extended Extreme mascara for fuller lashes
• Apply a blush in pink shades like Rose Lustre shade of Ideal luminous blush for a healthy glow 
• Complete the look with Avon’s Extra Lasting Lipstick – Totally Twig shade

Note:
To get the correct winter look use warmer colours or add a lot of gloss to lighter shades
Follow a regime of Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing and SPF (CTMP) to maintain a healthy glow
To buy a perfect foundation that will suit your skin color, you must try the foundation on your jaw line and buy the one that blends with you skin

New Year Party Look 

• Start with an Eyeshadow, depending your color of your clothes 
• Blend it well to get a balanced effect 
• Swipe a lot of mascara as the eyeshadow needs to be light
• Apply Avon’s Earthen Rose blush on your cheekbones
• Complete the look by applying Totally Kissable Lipstick in Deep Orchid shade

Note:

 Try to keep the colour of the blush close to your skin tone
 While using a darker lipstick either apply it directly or use a lipstick brush
 To get that red carpet look pair with a black dress/gown 

Avon Little Gold Dress Perfume - Review

When it comes to perfumes, I really like the ones that Avon comes out with. A couple of years back I tried the famous Little Black Dress and absolutely loved it. Seeing the popularity of  LBD, other variants like The Little Red Dress and Little White Dress were launched subsequently and this month, it's the turn of Little Gold Dress to make an appearance.  

The perfume is described as a fruity floral oriental spray that opens with a bright burst of citrus from Clementine and luscious notes of Peach juice and purple plum. Honestly, I have no idea what Clementine and purple plum smells like but the perfume sure smells great!. I am usually not a fan of too floral or too fruity fragrances but I like that there is a blend of the two in this one. At the first whiff, the smell was too strong and synthetic but once it settled down, I liked how well balanced and elegant it was. Not too sugary, too strong, or too heavy but nice, clean, sparkling and yet sensual. I cannot really classify it as either a day or a night perfume because one can wear it anytime of the day. It's really that versatile and that is what I like. 

Even though I like the smell of the perfume, I'm not a fan of the packaging and bottle. Perfumes to me should look pretty and luxurious but this one is way too plain. Yes it's gold and there is glitter on the lid but it's too simple for my liking. Wish Avon had jazzed up the bottle slightly. The staying power of The Little Gold Dress is quite decent. On me, it lasts for about 3-4 hours. 

The Little Gold Dress is available from October onwards through Avon representatives and priced at Rs 1199. If you are a fan of floral and fruity fragrances that are not sweet or heavy, you will like this. I sure do!
