What if life gives me lemons? I wear Citronized, an Avon Cosmetics nail polish from its GEL SHINE gel effect line. The name resumes this Avon nail polish brilliantly: Citronised is an unusual acid green with water shine and créme finish. Its formulation is easy to apply, it has a creamy consistency and a perfect coverage, making it a great choice for rushing lifestyles.Citronized or Citronised is, exactly like Parfait Pink, a nail polish with a gel finish which doesn’t require UV lamp exposition nor long drying times! I’ve found the same characteristics in these two Avon GEL SHINE nail polishes except, in Citronised, the subtle finish and the no-scratch proof factor noticed in Parfait…

Plus they have a long-lasting finish and a formulation infused with omega oils, in order to nourish and fortify the nails. Avon GEL SHINE Parfait Pink is a shifting shade of fuchsia: it can’t be simply described as a Barbie fuchsia, a medium pink nor a magenta. It looks like a…

Wycon Cosmetics – Lip Marker ‘N’ Balm lip tint pen in Azalea Pink #04, review and swatches
Has it ever happen to you? Popping into a shop and, after swatching some random products, falling in love with a make-up piece and a particular shade and then feeling a perpetual doubt once purchased it?

Avon Color Trend Kiss ‘N’ Go lipsticks are a splash of colours at tiny prices, but they aren’t a mere products for teens!
