PARK AVENUES products

MAT & SOFT MAKE UP BASE

Price: 7,95€

Scent and colour: it doesn’t smell the best I must say, the scent is quite artificial. It has light pink colour.

Texture: it has the same consistency as face primer by Catrice. It doesn’t have strong silicone texture as the rest of the primers that aim to mattify your skin. It doesn’t smooth the skin as much as silicone based primers but it helps to apply the foundation smoother compared to no primer.

Performance: it mattifies the foundation for about 4 hours, afterwards the face looks shiny.

Final verdict: if you need to mattify your skin I would go for something more effective even if it costs more (for example POREfessional by Benefit).

ILLUMINATING CREAM FOUNDATION (Tinted skin corrector & Highlighter)

When I was buying this cream I thought it would be an illuminating face primer. The name is little bit misleading as it says illuminating cream, foundation and tinted skin corrector at the same time. In fact it is an dewy finish foundation.

Price: 5,50€

Smell and packaging: it doesn’t have any scent. It is packed in the tube which is great for traveling.

Shades: it has only few shades to choose from, mine is in colour 01 Nude which is light neutral colour. I usually prefer yellow undertone foundations but this one is wearable for me as well.

Texture and finish: it has very light cream texture with dewy finish.

Application: it is easy to apply; the best method is either with fingers or with brush.

Coverage: it has light to medium coverage; it evens out the skin tone and covers small imperfections. If you have bigger issues to cover, a concealer would be a good solution.

Longevity: it lasted quite well for me, about 7 hours (I have dry skin). Afterwards the foundation started to break on the T-zone. If you have oily skin it may not be for you.

Final verdict: I’m actually surprised how good this foundation is. It lasted quite well, it covered well and my dry skin looked healthy. For the price of 5,50€ can’t beat it!

LIP GLOSS

Price: 3,50€

Scent: it doesn’t have strong scent, I smell little bit of sweetness in it.

Lip gloss  n.05 by PARK AVENUE

Colour: lip gloss n.05 which is light pink-beige colour with small golden glitter.

Texture: it has ticker consistency however it doesn’t bother me as much as usually. It stays well on the lips but if you drink or eat something you have to reapply it.

Lip gloss n.05 by PARK AVENUE

Final verdict: I quite like this lip gloss; it goes well with all my nude colour lipsticks so if you are looking for cheap alternative it is a good one to try.
