I have to tell you about this great new product I have been using the last few weeks.

I recently met some of the lovely girls from Avon at an fashion and beauty event, and they kindly offered to send me some freebies so I could try them out.

To be honest, buying beauty products online is not something I ever think about. I am always in and out of the big department stores in my job as a personal shopper. I like to see, touch and feel a product.

Anyway, a few days later I received  package with a few of Avons ‘Best Sellers’. The Avon Magix Face Perfector product immediately caught my eye!

I am a very low maintenance  girl. I wear Estee LauderDay Wear Plus tinted moisturiser, a bit of Yves St Laurent Touche Eclat and a bit of eye make up.

One problem I do end up with is shine, and I am not someone to carry around a compact and touch up my make up in the day! Once I leave the house, that’s pretty much it for the duration.

And this is where the Face Perfector comes in. I smooth it on, and my face is as smooth as a peach, and totally shine free – without that powdered caked on look that I can’t stand. And the best thing is, I have still been shine free hours later after being out on my scooter and walking around shops.

I have just been on the Avon site to grab the image for this blog piece and couldn’t believe it when I saw that it is currently selling half price at £5.00!! I am looking forward to testing out the other ‘Best Sellers’ – which include a mascara and a hair serum,  once i’ve finished my current ones. Let me know if you have any tips on your recommend beauty products that I can share on the blog.
