Fairness 360 Degree Cleanser
Anew cleanser comes in a sleek white tube with a flip-open cap. It has a mild to neither scent, which is very appealing. The cleanser is of porous creamy consistency and just about a small coin size is required to work up a nice creamy lather. After I wash off the creamy lather, what is left is a clean face free of all oil and grim. There is no oily or flimsy layer left behind and remarkably, there is no dry or stretchy feel either. I just have a refreshed feeling on the face left behind. This cleanser removes all kinds of makeup effectively without a trace. Since this is a considerably large tube and only a small amount of cleanser is required, the tube is going to last for a considerable period of time.
Pros –
- Skin friendly
- Worth buy
Cons –
- Its available at avon representatives only. Not available in stores
Price: Rs. 499 for 100 gm.

Fairness 360 Degree Day Cream SPF 20PA++
If you’re using whitening products in your face, then sunscreen protection is a must for you. I also fear that aging comes early when you’re not protecting your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Anyway, back to the product. This product has a creamy consistency and a pea-sized amount is already enough to be applied on the face and neck area. It has a mild scent too. The protective day cream is of a creamy consistency and has SPF 20 in it. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and well-moisturized but leaving a dewy finish. When there’s not need for me to wear make-up, I usually top this off with a setting powder to remove the shine.
Pros –
- Skin friendly
- Easy to carry
- Thick consistency
Cons –
- Its available at avon representatives only. Not available in stores
- Smell is heavy for me

Avon Naturals Whitening Day Cream
What I like: Avon Naturals Whitening Day Cream is easy to apply. It has a slightly thick consistency that when applied, results to a semi-matte finish that I like. I could spread it easily over my skin and not worry about clumps and flaking. It’s a white colored cream having mild fragrance of rose petals. Just take a sufficient amount onto fingertips and massage slowly. On application, it gets absorbed easily within few minutes and provides a fair and glowing complexion to skin .Skin starts looking fair and clear. Yellowish and pale skin gets reduced and a clear skin is visible. Its effects are more readily visible on dry skin and dull skin. I did not notice any stickiness or heaviness after application. One thing is worth observation that cream has been manufactured taking fairness and skin clarity aspects into considerations. No irritation with spots or marks occurred. After 6-10 days of usage, I observed a visible enhancement in skin clarity and fairness. Skin looked more even toned and clearer than before as per the claims on the product. I like the whole range of Avon naturals rose and rose hips fairness products as it have good skin brightening effects. Its mild action keeps skin protected from harmful sun rays and provides you a long lasting fairness and brightness.

Skin looks soft, moisturized, glowing and mildly brighter. After 6 to 8 washes, face looks more clear and soft than before.

Avon Foot Works Cracked Heel Cream
It’s a nice cream for cracked heel which works decently in repairing the crack heels and also in softening the dry areas on feet. It does not feel greasy at all and absorbs easily with just a few swipes. I have been using this cream regularly as I don’t want to suffer from dry and cracked heel at first place and with regular use this cream seems to keep all dryness of my feet at bay. I apply it twice and soon after applying it, I pull on my cotton socks to seal the moisture and prevent it from rubbing while walking and after I take out my socks, I feel that my feet are soft and smooth. Avon foot works cracked heel cream comes in an easy to use tube packaging with a flip open cap, the only problem I find with the packaging is that the last leftover product doesn’t come out easily. I have to literally press the tube from everywhere to get the cream out and finally after putting all my pressure it decides to come out
Pros-
- Does not feel greasy & repairs dry heel.
- Moisturizing and absorbs easily.
- Travel friendly packaging.
- Does not have that overpowering medicinal smell like other cracked heel creams.
Cons-
- Not easily available.
- May not help with severely cracked heel.

Avon Little Black Dress Skin Softener
This is one LBD that you simply cannot do without, here is how? I have a big collection of lotions and softeners and today I will talk about Avon Skin Softener from my handpicked collection. I am mesmerized by the smell of this softener, it smells like a girly perfume and the smell stays on for 1-2 hours. Isn’t that amazing, can you expect this much from a lotion.

Avon Advance Techniques Reconstruction 7 Conditioner
First of all, the conditioner is not too runny. It feels creamy and has a appealing fragrance. Just remove the cap and one can smell the fragrance coming out of the bottle. Wash hair with Avon Advance techniques Reconstruction 7 shampoo or any other shampoo of same or other brand and apply hair conditioner after it. The results claimed on this conditioner are with shampoo of same brand. I have tried this conditioner with shampoos of Avon other than Advance techniques Reconstruction 7 shampoo and shampoos of other brands also because I have not purchased the shampoo till date. Hence I will review the results of this conditioner with it. It’s suitable to most of the hair types. The conditioner is creamy white and feels soft when one applies it in hair.The fragrance is mild and lasts around half an hour to hour after rinsing. Hair feels soft and smooth after application.

Avon Naturals Vanilla & Sandalwood Shower Gel
Avon Naturals Vanilla Shower Gel is a vanilla scented, creamy shower gel. Naturals Vanilla is on the thicker side for a shower gel It feels silky on the skin and lathers much better than the more gel-like soaps by Naturals. I need about a half dime sized amount to wash my whole body, so a little goes a fairly long way. After rinsing my skin feels silky and a little moisturized. But this shower gel also leaves a bit of a residue or film. It could be I’m not rinsing thoroughly enough. Overall the smell smell of vanilla is overpowering tan sandalwood in this shower gel.
Pros-
- Love the vanilla smell
- Doesn’t dry out skin
Cons-
- Not easily available

Make up – Avon Simply Pretty and Simply Affordable
AVON SIMPLY PRETTY – LONG LASH WATERPROOF MASCARA 7g
Long Lash Waterproof Mascara in Black . I am a Avon fan to be honest simply because in my opinion their products are affordable and the quality is good. However all Avon products may not be upto the mark as I shall share with you in my future reviews sometime. What Avon says: Get naturally longer looking lashes all day! Contains Avon’s special blend of polymers and wax technology which makes lashes look longer while keeping it soft and supple. Water proof and smudge proof formula. Easy to use brush lifts up your lashes naturally. Since I have been using it for a while I can say its safe for the eyes and I have never had any issues so far.

However having said all of the above the mascara is a nice everyday mascara with 2 coats you are good to go.

Avon Simply Pretty Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Black
It is a jet black liquid eye liner from Avon.The eye liner comes in only one shade and that is this black one. This is a budget friendly range. Avon’s ‘Simply Pretty’ range comes with a tagline : ‘Noticeably pretty..Naturally you’, which is quite catchy. Avon Simply Pretty Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner comes in a cute glass bottle with a long purple colored screw cap that sits tightly on top, hence making it leakage proof & easy to carry. The cap is actually quite long & so it allows a better grip while applying eye liner. Avon Simply Pretty Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Black claims to be waterproof and smudge proof. It is smudge proof. Once the eye liner dries out completely, it doesn’t wear off unless we rub it hard. But it completely fails to live up to its claim to be waterproof. Just a few splashes of water & the eye liner comes off easily. If you tend to sweat a lot, this eye liner is a big no-no for you.
Ingredients : Not mentioned on the bottle
Pros-
- Affordable price, Good Quantity, Smudge proof, Smooth texture, Matte finish
- Stays for about 4-5 hours
- Travel friendly packaging
Cons-
- Not waterproof at all

Avon Kajal 2.6g – Simply Pretty
Eyes just feel naked without a kohl. Off late, I have taken a liking for Avon products. Avon Kohl comes in a thick pencil form which can be sharpened. Black is the only color available.It has a creamy texture & glides very smoothly. I won’t say this is the best kajal I have ever used because I have used the colossal kajal & after that I never liked any. But this is not bad for the price. It does smudge a little after three hours…but doesn’t give me raccoon eyes or make me look likes someone punch in your eyes at the end of the day…it sought of just disappears. This one doesn’t irritate my eyes, so it is very safe to use even on sensitive eyes. As of now I am happy with this kohl for daily use. It doesn’t last the entire day. At least it doesn’t give me raccoon eyes & it is hassle free. One need not use an eye makeup remover to remove this. It comes off just by using normal face wash & water.
Price Rs. 79 for 2.6g
Pros-
- Very reasonably priced.
- Good quantity for the price.
- Glides very smoothly because of the creamy texture.
- Does not sting the eye. Can be used by everyone…even people with sensitive eyes.
Cons-
- Available only through Avon representatives.
- Might smudge in summers.
- No ingredients mentioned on the kajal.

Avon True Color Glimmerstick Lip liner – True Red
The formula is creamy but still firm. If I compare it to other lip liner, I’d say that Avon’s are firmer and a lot less creamy. Which means you can get a really nice precise outline, but it also makes it easy enough for you to spread it on your lips. I hate those really hard pencils that you have to press on the lips and then almost always break some off, because you’re pushing too hard. These are just firm enough and creamy enough to make a nice easy application. They absolutely will accentuate any dry patches, like most lip pencils. It’s a pigmented and slightly waxy formula, but it almost reminds me more of crayons. The pigmentation with lighter shades will still let your freckles see through. They are long lasting (I don’t check the actual hours) and prevent lipstick from bleeding out.
Pros-
- Precision Lipliner to define Lips. Prevents lip color from bleeding
- Waterproof, smudge proof, wears all day
- Smooth glide on,defines lips
Cons-
- Available only through Avon representatives
Price Rs. 306

AVON SIMPLY PRETTY LIPSTICKS & PERFECT POUT LIPSTICKS
I enjoyed the full range of AVON SIMPLY PRETTY LIPSTICKS, pretty affordable plus wide range of color is suitable for all Indian skin type. This only doesn’t give your lips extra moisturizing care is now with added moisturizing complex, a blend of nourishing natural ingredients that protects lips while making it soft, supple and moisturized. Feels light and comfortable on lips.
Packaging in their initial days used to be black with a bit of sheen to it but then then they moved on to the hot pink packaging which is decent and ok in my opinion. All the information is printed on the label which covers the lipstick and once taken off is all gone however the expiry date is mentioned on the tube and the name of the lipstick at the bottom of the lipstick. The cap click locks, the body is sturdy and travel friendly.
Price Rs. 199/- for 4 g
PERFECT POUT LIPSTICKS range is same as Simply Pretty color bliss range above, I personally did not find it any difference so reviewing both together. Avon Perfect pout range does not contain shimmer nor is frosty in this case. It is creamy and moisturizing and glides smoothly on the lips. Of course your lips do have to be exfoliated and moisturized before application. The lipstick does not have a great scent to it I wish they do something about it but is ok, does not smell that bad. The lipstick is decently pigmented I do swipe it a couple of times for intensity as my lips are quite pigmented after years of lipstick application. The lipstick does last for at least 3 to 4 hours on me after which it does leave a stain on the lips. Yes it does stain and I am ok with it because the tint looks pretty although some may have a problem with it. Since it is creamy it may have a tendency to get outside the lips you could use a lip liner of the same shade but I am ok with it. I am not a big lip liner fan but yes do use it sometimes.
Price: Rs. 199/- for 4 g
Pros-
- Easily available.
- Moisturizing and creamy.
- Decently pigmented and a nice bright color.

AVON TRUE COLOR LIPSTICKS
True Color Hydrating Lipstick – is a range of shades that promise to provide up to 8 hours of color that stays true, as well the ability to quench dry lips with formula for intense moisture.
Each of them come packaged in a typical Avon lipstick tube that is sleek, black and oblong in shape with rounded corners. Firstly, each of them feels really nice during application. They all simply melt onto the lips and feel smooth. There are a couple of shades that apply a little streakily but generally they blend out pretty well. Some may need a couple of coats for the most opaque finish, but the most opaque of the collection tend to have a strong chemical scent. Each of them have a fruity scent added to the formula and all of them are pretty hydrating. The sheerer the shade, the lighter they are on the lips and they tend to feel more along the lines of lip balm rather than lipstick. Each of them have a decent wear time of a couple-few hours with the more pigmented wearing slightly longer than the sheerer shades. The most pigmented ones also have a higher level of transfer.

- Moisturizing and hydrating

AVON TRUE COLOR LIPSTICKS – The packaging reminded me of Revlon’s lippies. The clear top cover makes it easier for the shade of the lipstick to be seen. The consistencies of these lipsticks are indeed creamy. They glide easily on the lips. The colors are bold, pigmented and buildable. It can get super intense and eye catching especially with three layers. I can use it alone even without lip liners because of its awesome color pay off. Despite this, I still prefer using a lip liner to seal the lipstick on my lips because some colors tend to bleed especially the berries and reds. These lippies give off a glossy effect or sheen once applied. It is also a bit moisturizing. This can be attributed to the Vitamin E and Shea Butter properties. Compared to other lipsticks, this does not cause me any flaking or extreme dryness but it is not entirely moisturizing like a lip balm. This lipstick, despite its creamy consistency, lasts fairly long on my lips. It can last 3-4 hours on my lipstick of course sans eating and drinking. Also, I do not find the scent appealing, though some say it has a subtle sweet scent. A plus factor of this lipstick is its SPF 15.

Avon True Color Perfectly Smooth Lipstick – Packaging is the usual lipstick packaging. This range has regular shiny black plastic packaging with the combination of rose gold details that look really pretty. On the bottom of each is a sticker with name of the shade. Bullet has gorgeous marble design and it looks like a nourishing cream is mixed with lipstick pigments. So far I’ve only used one lipstick so far that I came to the nourishing layer. What happens then is that the lipstick becomes sheerer, because there’s more of nourishing cream going on the lips and not as much pigmented part.

AVON TRUE COLOR PERFECTLY MATTE LIPSTICKS – Lipsticks come in a classy matte black plastic packaging. I really like the velvet feel to the matte plastic. It indicates what’s inside. It also has a combination of silver plastic with Avon logo. formula has a nice subtle fragrance, which reminds me of sweet fruits. Lipsticks are very pigmented. With one swipe you get a nice transfer of color and you don’t need to build it up. If you apply too much, it looks a bit more creamier. It’s very thick formula and it’s definitely not creamy or buttery feeling on the lips. The application can be a bit uneven with some shades, which results in a finish that looks a bit old school and can look weird on the inner part of the lips. I find them fairly lightweight on the lips. If you put on too much, it can seem almost a bit sticky at the beginning. I have dry lips, so the lipstick becomes even matter through the day.
You can apply them straight from the bullet and don’t actually need to use lip liner with the formula. It doesn’t go into lines and it is pretty long lasting. I ate hamburger with red shade and you can imagine that this would be catastrophic, but it wasn’t that bad. Apart from the lipstick transferring to my chin and hamburger, it stayed on the lips. Yes, obviously it disappeared from the inner part of the lips. It wears off nicely through the day.

Avon Gold-Ultra Color Goldshine Lipstick – Rich, creamy and moisturizing formula enriched with gold for instantly luxurious, glistening color. I love 24K Red the most and love lipsticks over glosses, I love creamy lipsticks over shimmery ones, I love matte lipsticks over shiny ones, and I love pigmented lipsticks over sheer ones. I love these lippies for the creamy pigmented finish they offer in a lot of colors. I love the packaging a lot. Luscious is the word for these. In terms of staying power, they stay a decent three hours (good for me ) and don’t leave a stain after fading. They are really super moisturizing. They are a cross between Maybelline Water Shine and Colorsensational you can say in terms of finish and I do not find them sheer at all, at least the particular shades that I spoke of. I find these better than Moisture Seduction, Mega Impact, and Gold Shine ones. Good for festive sessions.

Avon TRUE COLOR PRO+ NAIL ENAMEL
The shades went on smoothly on application and as avon claims increases nail strength by 80%, Avon True Color Pro+ Nail Enamel. I would also like to note that I did use a base coat which you can see in image. Among the hundreds and thousands of local and organized nail polish brands in India which nail enamel to choose and not are a gigantic task for most Indian women. Avon True Color PRO+ Nail Enamel comes in rectangular bottles which are easy to grab hold of even when you are traveling and applying the nail paint at the same time. The bottle has all the necessary details written on them.
Few also comes nail color shade has fine gold glitter particles in it. This makes the nail enamel shimmery and poised. Unlike glitter nail polishes of other nail polish brands in India, it is not very flashy but elegantly poised. You can also go for metallic shade they worth a buy.
Price 199 – 299
Pros:
- the great color payoff can be used in one coat
- The color itself is a very pretty, dark almost black purple;
- completely opaque and very even in two coats; – dries fast;
Cons:
- in the polish I’ve got the brush is misaligned with the cap which makes the application more difficult
