We love to wear brightly coloured lipsticks in the summer and find that just a pop of colour to the lips can not only make us feel good but really makes us stand out amongst the crowd. At The Amazing Blog we have very high standards when it comes to finding lipsticks that we trust. Lipstick must be long-lasting, moisturising, easy to apply and have a smooth airbrushed finish. On that note, we are happy to share that mark. Epic Lipstick by AVON has certainly fulfilled some of our requirements!

Besides their bold colours, these mark. Epic lipsticks stand out to us for a variety of reasons. The first being that they have a built-in primer. This built-in primer offers three main benefits: Long-lasting colour, an airbrushed finish, and moisturised lips. In fact, with just one quick application these lipsticks lock in 36% more moisturise than by having bare lips. Instead of leaving lips feeling cakey, these lipsticks left our lips with a soft and balm-like feel. Their ‘precision tip bullet’ gave a simple clean application to the lips, and the SPF 15 protection is for us a real bonus.

We were sent six different shades to try, although these mark. Epic Lipsticks are also available in 22 different shades. So no matter what kind of look you are going for, be it casual or for a night out, there is a shade for every occasion. All the classic reds and pinks are available but there are also some more unique colours such as blue, turquoise, grey and purple. We fell for the shade ‘blue suede’ which is this bold slate blue shade (not for the faint-hearted) perfect with denim or just for taking selfies on Instagram. You can check out the 22 different shades of mark. Epic Lipstick by AVON online, including their two online exclusive lipsticks; ‘Wave Runner’ and ‘Grey Matters’ here each selling for £8.00.

Ageing is a natural part of life and with ageing, unfortunately, comes wrinkles. If you keep up with us here at The Amazing Blog you'll know that we are always on the look-out for new anti-ageing products. Two things that we always look for in a good anti-ageing treatment are the ability to repair damaged skin and the ability to protect the skin from further wrinkles. We're happy to report that we have a product that claims to have both of our essential qualities: Avon’s Anew Reversalist Infinite Effects Night Treatment Cream. This is a rotational anti-wrinkle product that contains two different creams in one convenient pump action tube to help provide doubly effective results. We applaud Avon and their products as to date Avon has donated over £22 million to Domestic Violence and Breast Cancer charities.

Now, you may be thinking that with two different creams it's going to be complicated to use… However, this product is actually incredibly simple to use. The product is used in two phases, phase 1 and phase 2. During phase 1 you simply apply 2-3 squirts of the cream labelled ‘1’ to your clean and dry face each night. You repeat this same routine using cream ‘1’ for 7 nights. After 7 nights, you switch to use cream ‘2’ keeping the same application procedure as phase 1. After 7 nights using the cream in phase 2, you simply switch back to using cream ‘1’ again and the cycle goes on again.

These two phases work together to help prevent uneven skin tone, reduce fine lines and fix dark spots. The two different phases have different purposes in treating the skin. The cream in phase 1 contains a phyto+ complex that helps to replenish and prepare the skin. The cream used in phase 2 contains a super-retinol complex, which specifically activates skins receptors to boost collagen and repair existing wrinkles. These two Night Treatment Creams feel light and creamy on the skin while they provide a deluxe anti-ageing formula. You can purchase your own Avon ANEW Reversalist Infinite Effects Night Treatment Cream here for £17.95.
