Peels

I have heard such great things about this top coat, and when it went on sale at my local Sally's I had to buy it. Already frustrated with the China Glaze top coat and the thickening of the fingerpaints top coat, I cautiously applied this one. The first application worked wonders, my polish lasted for a week or more with just a bit of tip wear. Using it a second time, however, prompted the same results as the others. Nail polish would peel off all in one sheet, leaving my bare nail in need of fresh re-painting even with the matching Seche base coat. It also claims to not yellow the polish, yet I have been having trouble with one ONE nail turning a grimy yellow color the day after it is painted. So I have to scrap that one, too. I like how fast it drys, but for me it's nothing new. Same old frustrations for a higher price tag. I am disappointed.

Great purple.

Purple haze is great. A muted purple that isn't too in your face. Great for daytime or night looks, or just lazy "through it on and walk out the door" looks. Either way it's stunning. If you're into purple, I'd say pick this color up. And you can't beat the cute packaging, either.

Great, but over another lipstick

Now don't get me wrong, I use oil slick quite a bit, but I have to say I'm slightly disappointed in the color payoff of this one. It's more like a gloss than a lipstick, but lasts longer than a gloss. It's very sheer, and I wouldn't wear it just on its own. I put it over a dark red or black lipstick for a little extra pop, alone it just looks kind of gray. The sparkles are more visible over another lip color. Don't expect the color to be BOOM, black. It kind of reminds me of a black tinted gloss that you could find in Halloween stores, but lasts about twice as long.

Color payoff is OUTRAGIOUS!

Sugarpill was already one of my top "I need to try this" products, and Poison Plum caught my eye right away. The pigmentation is crazy, and I'm a sucker for all things purple. It does stain my lids, though, but I still adore it. Make up remover and a day later, and no signs of staining. I suggest using a base under the color, though, to help prevent staining. Foiled Poison Plum just can't be beat, but the color is perfect dry, too.

Cutest. Black. Ever.

I waited for a long time for something like Stella. Something dramatic, edgy, and had a multi-use. Stella is just that. Great for an all over eye, mixed with another color, or even used as liner. And the sparkles, WOW! My only complaint would be the fall out the sparkle causes, but I like to leave it there for an extra "party" look.

Great dressed up black,

My second favorite shade of black. Just enough sparkle to give that subtle "girly" look without being too overpowering. Perfectly bendable for a day or night look. Very dramatic. LOVE.

I don't know how I lived without this primer!

Nothing else I've tried even comes close. Worrying about creasing is a thing of the past. Even when it's hot, and my usual primer used to run and crease, UD primer potion holds strong and my makeup never moves. LOVE it!

LOVE in a bottle

If it wasn't for China Glaze, my nails would never grow. My nails break easily, but not with China Glaze. Even the lightest coats help my nails stay strong and colorful!

For an Avon product, I don't hate this. It's very helpful in removing pesky mascara that otherwise would not come off. It reeks of a plastic smell, however, and burns your eyes if you happen to get any in there. The smell is quite off-putting despite how useful it is.

Quite honestly one of my most hated Avon products, and that's saying a lot since I hate almost everything Avon produces aside from fragrances, lotions, deodorants, and body wash. The only upside is that it's retractable. even after applying and letting dry, the liner runs down my lower lashes and looks horrid. Not water proof at all.
