I don't tend to do product reviews but I recently bought two Shine Attract lipsticks from Avon and I love them!
When you put them on they are not as thick as lipstick and not as sticky as lip gloss.
I bought Happy Pink and Passionate Red, they are usually £9 but bought them on offer for £10 for the two.
They are SPF 15 and come in 13 colours.
Avon sells four lipsticks every second around the world.
The Shine Attract Lipstick has intense colour and shine in one product. The inner core provides the colour and the clear outer gel acts likes a sealant and conditioner.
It glides on and the more you put on the brighter the colour. The red is bright but not too bright, it doesn't bleed and isn't as thick as a lipstick.
I am not a huge fan of lipstick but wanted to give this a go and I love it, it doesn't leave your lips dry and awful after.
I would recommend this lipstick to someone who doesn't like lipstick or lip gloss but wants an impact colour on their lips.
Short but sweet but to the point I think. I want to try the felt tip pens next.
You can purchase them from an Avon rep or www.avonshop.co.uk

These are a few more of my favourite things......
As I knew would happen when I logged off after my She's gotta have it post I remembered loads more products I cannot live without, so look at this post as a She's gotta have it part two.
I don't like to admit it but there are some days when I cannot be bothered to wash my hair so I take the lazy girl option and use Batise dry shampoo. You just spray it on your roots, rub in, leave and brush out. I remember when they had just one smell, now there are a huge range of them. I love the original, blush and tropical. Be warned though make sure you rub it all in otherwise you will be left with an unattractive grey streak in your hair.... not that I speaking from experience.
I may be 24 but that doesn't mean I don't suffer from the odd spot at the most unfortunate time. Usually when I have a presentation, interview or something that means I have to show my face. If you catch it early then there is a god-send. Clinique's Acne Solutions Spot Healing Gel, you put it on when you feel a spot coming or when it has reared its ugly head and it either brings it out or clears it away. I have never known anything to clear them up so quickly. It is a little pricey I must admit, but if you only suffer from the odd spot then it will last a while and is worth the money.
When I first got the Lee Stafford gift set with the dry shampoo, heat protector spray and dehumidifier spray, I put the dehumidfier spray in my bottom draw not quite believing that it could as it said on the bottle. However, after clearing out the draw I found it and decided I would take it to the gym to see if it would stop my hair becoming an afro mess. So I sprayed it all over my hair pre-gym and I have to admit it worked. I didn't get the frizzy annoying bits I usually did, so I have started using it if it's warm or damp and before I go out clubbing and it does work. When my hair would usually start to frizz it doesn't I don't know how it does it but this product is excellent.
Lastly, another wonder-product that I am not quite sure how it works is Avon's Liquid freeze quick dry nail spray. You paint your nails and spray the solution, wait a minute for it to dry and your nails are bone dry and ready for action. It does make your hands a little oily when you first spray it but it does work, so you can't say better than that.
If anything else comes to mind I will let you all know.

A girl's gotta have it
I love my lotions and potions, so I am actually surprised that I have not posted something like this before. So here it goes, I thought I would share with you some of the items that I simply cannot live without and would suggest you buy now and be forever happy. There is no reason to my choices, it is all purely stuff I have tried and fallen in love with.
Firstly, not a lotion or indeed a potion but something I buy loads of and cannot live without. Party feet, the little bit of gel heaven on a night out. Basically, they are gel insoles that you put where the balls of your feet rest in high heels and they alleviate the pressure avoiding that feeling of your feet burning on a night out. I love these and buy a pair every time I buy a new pair of heels. They are a god-send and although sometimes they don't stop the pain completely, they do avoid that horrible feeling you get the day after when your feet are still punishing you for the night before. There are loads available; Scholl are the originals and are great they stick really well and they do limited edition ones that are glittery, they cost about £5 but are well worth the money. Avon do some as well which I would recommend.
Now, another wonder product has to be Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Skin Protectant. Apparently the solution was originally to keeps horses hooves supple, how much of this is true I don't know but I can believe it. This caramel coloured sticky solution does smell a bit but it is amazing. It can be used as a lip gloss, or a gloss on your cheeks or eyes. It is fantastic for dry skin anywhere, from your elbows and knees to your hands. The whole eight hour range is amazing but the skin protectant lasts for ages as you only need a little bit at a time. It's not cheap but if you are lucky you might pick up a bargain at TkMaxx or cheapsmells.co.uk usually has good offers. This has been going for ages and when you try it you can see why.
Make-up wise here up my tips:
Nail polish you cannot beat Barry M for colour and value for money. OPI is good you are willing to spend a little bit more, especially there Burlesque glitter range, not great to take off but brilliant coverage and it lasts. Nails Inc is always great and over Christmas I found gift sets at TkMaxx with ten nail polishes for only £14, BARGAIN! However, Rimmel or Barry M makes your money go a long way.
Mascara, I think Maybelline Falsies is great and once I had it on and cried my eyes out and no running or smudging not many non-waterproof mascaras can claim that. Or Avon's Sonic boost vibrates and opens up your eyelashes, a little strange sensation at first but does actually work.
Lipglosses, I like Maybelline anything and Rimmel lip vinyl has great coverage and great colours.
For body lotions, scrubs or anything for the bath you cannot beat Soap and Glory. The pink (and now blue) packaging is enough to make me run to see what's new. With a distinctive smell everything they do is amazing and has brilliant names. Scrub your nose in it face wash, is cleansing and exfoliating. Sexy mother pucker is a lipgloss that plumps up your lips with a tingling sensation. The righteous butter is one of the creamiest and delicious body lotions just a must buy. All Soap and Glory sets are always sell outs. Over Christmas Boots frequently sold out, especially if they have them at half price or in the sale, if you can pick up a set you are one of the lucky one. Over the last couple of years they have launched a men’s’ range (which my boyfriend loves) and a best of British range, which is equally brilliant. They also do minis so if you are unsure on splashing the cash then buy one of these and try away.
A staple for every woman should be Simple make up wipes, not too greasy and gets to grips with dirt. They also are for sensitive skin so no irritation. Another one to note is Johnson's eye makeup remover pads are also really good for stubborn make up.
I probably have more so I will share them as I remember them but I hope you find something from the above that you love. Also if you have any tips leave a comment, I love finding out about new products.
