Last week I shared with you my experience of Avon’s Color Trend Nail Polish in Wild Blackcurrant (fab colour!). Well, this is the other item I bought in the 2 for £4 offer which I got the chance to try out this week.

The packaging is so sweet! Really girly and pretty, I think more suited for young women than someone of my advancing years (birthday AGAIN next week 🙁 ). Thinking about my age, it is time to admit that I bought this out of nostalgia: 20 plus years ago I was using Avon’s Color Trend lipstick in Cafe au Lait which is very similar to this new shade. It was my favourite, subtle enough not to get into trouble at school for wearing makeup but pretty enough to make my lips shimmer.

The photos don’t really do the colour justice 🙁 I think my skin colour has darkened over the year from time in the sum so I’m not sure it flatters me as much as it did in the past. But it felt lovely to be wearing lippie again after so long and the colour was pretty. I have a feeling that I will be sharing this with 4 year old Anya 🙂

I’m definitely happy with the lipstick, even if Zach looks a bit grumpy 🙂
