Mango Mania and a little bit of champagne : My first Avon purchase
Hi everyone!
I recently made my first Avon purchase and I’m loving each and every product I bought. I picked up 3 nail paints from the Simply Pretty range taking advantage of the offer- ‘Sweet Pink’ , ‘Champagne Shimmer‘ and ‘Mango Mania‘. Also picked up a lipstick from the Simply Pretty range ‘Mango Mania‘. My Avon representative Jinal also gave me Avon Naturals Wild apple and grape hand and body lotion as a free gift with my purchases. Thank you Jinal 🙂
Mango Mania is a coral-brick shade that instantly brings warmth to the face. Its neither too bright nor too dull, just has the right amount of orange tone and looks beautiful worn as it is. It is the sort of shade that’ll suit all skin tones. Thank you Natasha for recommending this shade to me 🙂
Price: Rs 125
Quantity : 4 g
Mini Review : The texture is smooth but not too soft, its not very moisturizing) and will not suit people with dry lips. The staying power is good – easily lasts 3-4 hours with meals in between and an even tint remains on the after 4 hours too. The packaging is not so attractive but I don’t mind that at this price. The shade is mentioned in small font at one end of the lipstick so to identify a particular shade- you need to go through each label. The pigmentation is good and coverage is medium in single swipe and can be built up to opaque intense color in 2-3 swipes. Th finish is almost matte but not drying.
At Rs 125, its a steal! And I highly recommend this particular shade to everyone.
Rating: 4.5/5
Will I repurchase: Yes.
This is what I wore today. You can share your makeup breakdown of the day with me on Facebook by clicking HERE.
I’m currently wearing the nail paint ‘Champagne Shimmer’ from the 3 nail paints I purchased. I picked up 3 nail paints for Rs 105 from the May catalog. As the name suggests, it is a champagne color with evenly distributed fine shimmer in it. Single coat gives a sheer coverage and double coat builds up the shimmer for a full coverage opaque look. I have worn the nail paint for 2 days now without top or base coat and there’s been no chipping yet. It gives a fairer and glamorous look to the hands. The shimmer is not subtle but its not too blingy either.
Have you tried Avon products? What are your favorite products from Avon?
p.s- I’m trying out a new theme on the blog. I find it livelier and peppier than the last one. What do you think? Let me know your comments and suggestions.

Love both the lippie and the polish. I like how even the nail polish is in shade and shimmer!
Hi Shai, its a very popular shade from Avon- both the lipstick and the nail paint. Have you tried anything from Avon yet?
i have this (even a back up) since two years now
also reviewed it on imbb
i agree its not smooth but lovely color
n the choice they give is amazing
try darling mauve its a bright pink
i think it will suit u
i have almost half of those simply pretty ones
I’m thinking of getting a back up too 😀 Ok, I’ll try Darling mauve. Any other reccos?
ankita check my reveiw on ten (or less) simply pretty lippies on imBB….
with swathes…n see
Thanks..will check 😛
OK..I saw the review and another one with the fav earthy lakme ones with the lipsticks in the colorbar box!! 😛 😛
The colour is great… just the right amount of shine for summer 🙂
I love this shade. And I love Avon 😛 Anything in particular u like from Avon?
Have you tried LBD from Avon…? The fragrance is just heavenly….!!!
Ohh no I haven’t but thanks for the recco. I was looking for a perfume 🙂
ankita, any recos for a dusty rose colour? I am looking for something similar to nyx tea rose
NYX tea rose is very close to Chambor silk touch ‘Silk Pop’. Its not a very subtle shade actually. If you’re looking for a dusty rose shade, I think there are some in Maybelline moisture extreme by name of Dusky rose or Windsor rose. Revlon super lustrous ‘Rose Velvet’ is also very pretty.
thanks… will chk these out….
You’e welcome 🙂
