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!

Then I was struck by these Lip Marker ‘N’ Balm lip tint pens, double ended “markers”, a felt tip and a solid balm ends, with a sort of sweet scent. The…

Avon Magic Effects Liquid Sequin – review & swatches
Hold on nail fans, Avon Cosmetics has a new range of MAGIC Effects nail polishes called MAGIC Effects “Liquid Sequin”. The name recalls opulence, elegance and sparkle: to me, it’s like dressing up your nails with tiny sequined party garments. This new nail lacquer line consists of 4 shades: Dazzle, Glimmer, Glitterati and Sequin; but, for our surprise, each nail polish differs in the result and has something particular in its formula and glitter mixture. Let’s find out! Dazzle is a cold dark purple nail polish with chunky 1 mm fuchsia hexagonal glequins and tiny round (1/4 mm) bronze glitters suspended into a sheer purple base with a strong blue undertone,…
