15 g for INR 149

Avon Says: - Avon NAIL EXPERTS Vitamin C Cuticle Gel instantly repairs dry cuticles, moisturizes the skin around nails and infuses it with nourishing vitamin c. The refreshing cream with rich citrus scent will keep your hands nicely smelling, soft and smooth.


To Use: Apply a small amount to cuticles, massage gently. Wipe any excess product.

Ingredients: - Water/Eau, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Cyclopentasiloxane Dimethicone, Sodium Chloride, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Extract, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Isopropyl Myristate, Petrolatum Peg/Ppg-20/15 Dimethicone, Parfum/Fragrance, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Polyethylene Dimethiconol, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, SD Alcohol 40-B, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Yellow 5 Lake/CI 19140, Red 30/CI 73360, Orange 4/CI 15510



My Opinion: - Long back I bought this Nail Experts Vitamin C Cuticle Gel from Avon when it was launched. It was priced at Rs 79 (special introductory price) and I immediately grabbed one as I thought I have nothing to lose. I used it daily twice for 20 days without much expectations and I observed my cuticles much well behaved, the roughness and dryness was gone!!!! I immediately called upon the Avon lady and placed an order for more. Thankfully in the next catalog also this awesome product was priced Rs 79 so I asked her to get me 3 more. And there began my love affair with this cuticle gel. Oriflame also had a similar product with similar Nourishing Nail Serum which I loved too but it was discontinued. I have finished off a number of tubes of this cuticle gel and just now I realized that I have not shared this awesome product with you all. So here I am putting forward my views on this product I adore.

                       Now the packaging of this gel is very catchy, a bright orange see-through tube with a white screw-on cap. But it comes boxed in a black carton like most Avon product. Upon opening the white cap, you shall find a thin long nozzle to dispense the product right onto the cuticles. The gel is a transparent pale orange with bright orange beads that melt away upon slightly massaging. This gel is basically fragrance free as I have never been able to detect much scent in it. Only in the first few days of opening the tube, I get a faint orangey kind of scent but it is gone after a week of usage. The gel is watery and very light weight and does not make a mess of my hands. My cuticles are rough and dry but not damaged and therefore I began with using it twice a day, in the morning and at night but now I use it only in the day time after using my hand cream. My hands feel dry as I sit in an air conditioned office whole day and I keep a hand cream handy. 

                       But after using this gel every day, my cuticles have softened and the roughness is gone. The nails as a whole appears to be more healthy and clean without any of those unsightly peeling off cuticles. I use an excess of nail paints & paint removers, that's the main reason for my dry cuticles both on finger nails & toe nails. But using this has improved the condition of dry and hard cuticles on my toe nails and dryness and hangnail on my finger nails. I just apply a small dot onto each cuticle and massage it on for a while and done. No greasy residue or oiliness is left behind, I do not feel the need to tissue off the remaining gel. Actually the gel gets absorbed into the the skin quite fast and being a non-oily light-weight formula it is mess free and hence it is mess-free and I prefer to use it during the day time. Out and out a great nail care product, there is a dearth of good nail care products as most big Indian brands don't have nail care stuff. Avon scores here with this cuticle gel.


Pros:


* Cheap

* Very effective on my cuticles

* Light-weight, oil-free gel formula

* Mess free as it gets absorbed into my skin very fast

*  Contains Shea Butter known for its moisturizing properties & Vitamin C known for to treat nail dryness (dry cuticles & hangnails)

* Can be used during the day while working, this gel will not stain yor precious dox or mess up your lappy

* Doesn't feel sticky

* Gives results in short time with regular use

* Makes nails healthy and lovely

Cons:



* Availability is an issue as Avon consultants are hard to come by

* Avon has the knack of discontinuing its best products!!! What if they chose to take this Cuticle Gel off the shelf just like Oriflame did???

                      I rate Avon Nail Experts Vitamin C Cuticle Gel 4.75 out of 5. My nails are not damaged but overuse of nail paints and removers definitely has its toll on them. My toe nails are comparatively much drier than my finger nails and this adorable Cuticle Gel helped combat the dry dry cuticles on my toes too. So I would say that it is one of the most effective treatment I have ever used. Highly recommended for all beauties who love their nails and wants to have pretty lovely nails. One of the best products from Avon I have ever tried!!!

Shelf Life: 3 years




My Opinion: - There has been an overload of brush reviews in BDI, for a change here I am reviewing Avon's Fairness Exfoliation Face Wash. I use exfoliating face wash regularly specially in the summers and this time I chose this one from Avon. The packaging of the face wash is very pretty and girly. The plastic tube is a pin and white gradient with a navy blue screw-on cap. This tube is travel friendly as well as hygienic. Its a small tube and can be thrown into your purse for emergencies.

                    The fragrance of this exfoliating face was is sweet and fruity. I think it will be liked by most people even by the ones with sensitive noses. The testure is that of a clear gel, not thick but not even runny. The gel is infused with very tiny grains which are not visible to the naked eyes. But these grains are extremely mild and non-gritty. I take out a blob of this face wash on the back of my hand and gently massage it onto my wet face for a minute or two. I wash off by splashing water and it goes off easily. The grains are gentle on my skin but gives a good polishing and cleansing. It brightens and adds a glow to the skin temporarily.

                     I have been using it on and off  for sometimes now (2 months) and the tube is nearly over now. I think daily use will give 40+ days of product and since I have not been using it frequently, the tube still has a few uses of product left in it. Therefore its affordable at Rs 95 and you need a small blob for every use. This face wash lathers a little and beauties who love their face washes to foam a lot might not like this. It removes light makeup (moisturiser, compact powder) effortlessly. It gives a clean and fresh feel to my skin after using it making it soft and supple. For the past one week I have been using it daily just to finish it off and it has not irritated my skin or dried it. Perfect for daily use.

Pros: -

* Affordable

* Mild exfoliation

* Gentle on skin

* Didn't irritate my skin or break me out 

* All claims made by the brand are true

* Cleans, softens and  brightens my skin



Cons: -

* Contains Parabens (most products do)

*  None actually



             I rate Avon Care Fairness Exfoliation Face Wash 4.5 out of 5 as it is very affordable and cleans my skin perfectly. With regular use, this tube of face was will take 40+ days to get over. It didn't irritate my oily acne prone skin and didn't dry out my skin with daily use. Avon claims this face wash is suitable for all skin types, but I have doubts very dry skin beauties might not like it as much as oily skin beauties would. 



Hope this review helped you in some way and do leave behind your sweet comments and also tell us about your favorite Exfoliating Face Wash. Thank you and have a great Sunday afternoon :)

* Fuchsia Fun


* Aqua Fantasy


* Blue Escape

Ingredients: - Not Listed

My Opinion: - I am a fan of creme polishes but I love other finishes also. Its just that I can't resist nail polishes with creme finish. Ok today I shall be reviewing Avon Nailwear Pro in Loving Lavender which is a pale (not dull) lavender with blue undertones. It is one shade which gives a well manicured and polished look to my hands.


























                  The bottle is rectangle shaped with a black plastic cap/lid which is synonymous to most nail polishes. The smell is not too strong which I like. This shade Loving Lavender is great for everyday/office wear. It is a glossy shade but the glossy look stays on for 3 days max. After that I need to apply a top coat or better still a gloss.
























                   This shade does not fade off or becomes dull. The brush is good enough and does cover the entire nail in 3 strokes. This shade Loving Lavender needs 2 coats for full opacity but a 3rd coat adds depth and density. First coat gives a sheer coverage but second coat is enough for full opacity.
























               This shade stayed on my nails for 5 days without chipping or fading. I love this pretty shade and its apt for spring as well as summers. Its a light shade which gives my hands a polished look. Its easy to apply and easier to remove. This range of nail paints from Avon is mostly on sale so wait till one of those sales/discounts and grab your favorite shades at a much lesser price.























Pros: -


Very pretty pale (not dull) Lavender shade, rightly called 'Loving Lavender'

Perfect for everyday/office wear

Gives a well maintained and polished look to the nails

2 coats give full opacity

Smell is not very strong

Did not stain my nails or dry them out

Came out with a spring collection but apt for summers as well

Brush is good enough and does not give a streaky look


























Cons: -

Availability, can be procured through Avon Representatives only




                        I rate Avon Nailwear Pro in Loving Lavender 4.25 out of 5. Pretty Lavender shade in creme finish, total love <3 <3 Highly recommended for girls who can carry pale shades. I adore Avon Nailwear Pro range very much and have most of the shades which I shall talk about later.



Hope this review helped you in some way, please do leave behind your comments. Also do tell us about your favorite nail polish shades from Avon Nailwear Pro Nail Enamel. Thank you and have a great day ahead :D

Company Says: -

· Glides on smoothly * Dries quickly

· Non-sticky * Non-staining

· Non –stinging

To Use: - Tip bottle once, hold upright and roll on underarm. Close cap tightly after use.



Warning: Do not apply to broken skin. If rash develops, discontinue use. Keep out of reach of children.

Ingredients: - Water, Aluminum Chlorohydrate, Steareth-12, PPG-15, Stearyl Ether, Dicapryl Adipate, Stearate-20, Isopropyl Palmitate, Fragrance

My Opinion: - Deos are essential all throughout the year, more so in the summers. I use deos on a daily basis and as many times as required. Roll-On deos are great, at least they are long lasting or so thought I. Last year I bought Avon Little Black Dress Roll-On Anti-Perspirant Deodorant but back then I didn't use it much. This month while rearranging my stuff, I came across this Roll-On deo and started using it. The packaging is similar to all Roll-On Deos, a small but sturdy plastic can with a roller ball on top to dispense the product evenly. The cap is also black and is one of those screw-on lids. Very convenient and safe to carry in my bag while travelling.

                      The deo is a thick whitish liquid which becomes transparent on drying. It takes a few minutes to dry and I would prefer ia deo to dry faster. I do not have much knowledge about perfumes but I can best describe this deo as Floral Oriental with a touch of Woody notes. Top Notes are Cyclamen, Coriander, African Ginger, Jasmine and Apricot Blossom; Middle Notes are Gardenia, Ylang-Ylang and Pink Peony; Base Notes are Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Musk and Japanese Plum.

THE SWATCH

                        I find the fragrance very sweet and feminine and also it is very mild, very sophisticated. It lasts on my skin for a decent time but fades off towards the afternoon if I apply it in the morning before heading for office. Thereafter I have to reapply it around lunch. These Roll-On deos are usually used on the under-arm area and this deo did not irritate my skin. Now coming to the Anti-Perspirant and Deodorant part, Anti-Perspirant means stopping perspiration/sweating and Deodorant means stopping body odor or from stopping sweat to stink. This Roll-On Anti-Perspirant Deodorant from Avon has accomplished both tasks but on a moderate level.

THE WHITISH LIQUID BECOMES TRANSPARENT ON DRYING

Pros:

* Very sweet and feminine fragrance

* Decent staying power

* Didn't irritate my skin

* I love Roll-On deos

* Packaging makes it easy to carry around in a purse

* I used it on a daily basis for a month+, now its over



Cons:

* Available only through Avon Representatives

* Takes a few minutes to dry

* At Rs 179 I would get better RODs



                  I rate Avon Little Black Dress Roll-On Anti-Perspirant Deodorant 3.5 out of 5. It is a decent deo and the Floral Oriental scent is very pleasant and mild. Certainly this product is not a must have and you can definitely give it a pass.



Hope you enjoyed the review, do leave behind your precious comments and share with us your experiences of Roll-On Deos. Thank you and have a Happy Weekend :)
