[dreamer_13]

years ago i tried a lipgloss from colortrend, and didnt like it that much, but ive ordered loadsa makeup from avon, by colortrend, i have no idea whats its like, though i have an idea its not that good because its soo cheap! do any of you use it, and does it work for you?

I heard that it drys your lips out really badly. But you can make this stuff that help with the dryness your self.
A tube of your favorite lipstick. I chose Colortrend Metro by Avon, and since I was halfway through the tube, I added half a tube of beComing lipstick in Matte Blush.
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil for moisture
1 tablespoon Unrefined Coconut Oil (get this at a health food store) for moisture and smell
Six drops of Peppermint Essential Oil for tingle and lip plumping

Directions:
1.) Remove the lipstick from the tube and smash it in a glass or ceramic bowl.
2.) Add all the other ingredients and smoosh, smoosh, smoosh, until the goop is smooth and uniform in color.
3.) Pour the stuff into a little glass jar. I used an empty beComing foundation bottle.
4.) Apply with a lipstick brush. Voila! Beautiful, sexy, soft, moisturized and tastefully kissable lips! It's a tropical vacation on a brush! My lips have never felt so lush and ready for action!

Hope this helps

Personally I don't like Colortrend by Avon. I tried a water-proof mascara and a red lipstick. The mascara was clumpy and too liquidy..it was hard to apply and I had to clean it up afterwards because it would get everywhere! The lipstick didn't go on good, or stay on long!

Give it a try, remember what does not work for one works for many others.

[dreamer_13]

well ive finally recieved it, im gonna try it tommorow but for now it looks really good!

[dreamer_13]

wellive tried it, and its nothing special, but the first time i use a new product its a bit strange so im sure i'll get used to it.i got foundation, mascara, eyeliner and a concealer which cost me just £10.00 (the concealer wasnt colortrend) so, the foundation was too runny and watery, and the colour wasent right for me, but it was okay for the price of it. the pump up the volume mascara wasent too bad, but that wasent anything special, the eyeliner was amazing! its like liquid eyeliner but its so much easier to apply, and it goes on dark so you dont have to go over the same spot all the time.

so overall the result was ok, i'll give you my scores

mascara = 6/10

eyeliner = 9 and a half /10

foundation = 5/10

[Judi]

Well at least a few good things came out of it, thats all that counts.

Yup....now u know good eyeliner that wont cost u a lot....
