Though I wouldn't ever label myself as being a huge fan of Avon Cosmetics, there are a couple of their products that I love. One is their range of Nailwear Pro nail polishes and the other is their wonderful Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation which, in my opinion, beats all the competition including those I've used from the high end cosmetics companies. My earlier experiences of using mineral powder foundation weren't particularly good ones as although I used products from well respected cosmetics companies, I found the powder far too heavy and it settled into my laughter lines (I refuse to call them wrinkles) making them look much deeper and rather than ...  Read the complete review

This was the first mineral foundation I had used before trying other brands and after hearing so many good things about them I was quite excited to try it out. My mum actually bought me this foundation as it was on offer for £3 when someone at her work was doing the catalogue. However the regular selling price is £10.50 for 6g which is rather expensive but for £3 it was an excellent buy. You can get this from a local Avon rep as well as their website however there is a delivery charge for doing this. There is also the availability to buy from places such as Ebay so there's a good few locations to get this from. There are 6 shades to choose from however I went ...  Read the complete review

I had seen several mineral powders on the market, I fancied trying one but as I didnt really know what to expect from them I didnt want to pay a lot of money. I came across the Avon Mineral powder foundation in a brochure a couple of years ago now, I seem to think I payed around £3/£4 for it, although now I am pretty sure it is around the £10 mark.

You tip the pot over with the lid closed of course, the pot dispenses a perfect amount as if by ...  Read the complete review

I first bought this powder foundation from Avon about a month ago, since then I have ordered two more pots, one in a darker shade (shell) and the other two are ivory shade. Firstly, I do like the little pot it comes in, it doesn't seem to hold much powder at first glance but when you apply you realise that in fact it will probably last quite a while. I'm not overly keen on the mirror placement inside the lid only because you have to tip it upside down and shake it to release some powder to use and inevitably the powder goes onto the mirror resulting in a dirty mirror! Whilst it's not ideal- I don;t think there could be an alternative really unless they found some ...  Read the complete review
