Yet again Avon has stepped up it’s game with the Limited Edition marimekko for Avon Collection. marimekko famous floral motif is now available in cosmetic compact format with this new collection from Avon. I’m thrilled to bits that I got a chance to test out one of the two available eyeshadow palettes from this new line up.
The collection consists of two face powder compacts and two eyeshadow palettes each of which sports a cute floral design that makes each compact both unique and kawaii! The Muse likey!
I got my shadow compact in the mail last night and I promptly went online and ordered a shadow compact and a blush compact for my mate Iris from Rouge Deluxe because I know she’ll feel the same way about these as I do! They are just too cute! You know I’m impressed with something when I’m ordering it to gift to friends!
I got my palette in Poppy Bouquet which contains an array of cool shades. One of the dominant shades in the palette is a shimmering navy blue which I was slightly scared of as blues aren’t so easy to pull off. However, I was delighted to see that the color is quite soft and completely wearable! The other shades in the palette are a softer grayish white and a pinkish lilac. The shades all work well together to create a rather soft, fresh eye look. I was impressed with the silky, shimmering texture of the shadows which offer decent color payoff while not over doing it! The colors in the palette are of medium pigmentation but can easily be built up for deeper color pay off or with a lighter hand you can easily create a softer look.
The palette is a tad unconventional because of the floral motif design. The floral design is separated by an empty black, plastic divider which makes it difficult to fit your brush or sponge applicator into the powder to grab up color however with the the floral design so gorgeous you’ll soon forget any inconvenience of application!
In times of a failing economy, options of inexpensive makeup become a necessity for many of us and Avon offers these palettes at a brilliant price! Each eye palette is $8 USD and each face palette is $10 USD. You can’t beat the price for such a cute little palette!
The Muse digs ‘em and approves ‘em for purchase!

AAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I saw these palettes online and wondered what the black thing is made of. Turns out it’s just plastic
Thanks for reviewing them Muse! They look so cute!
hi Glow Chaser!

Cutes aren’t they!?
hi dao!
it is indeed sorta a plastic divider..it makes it difficult to apply but the design is so cute I don’t mind to much
You’re most welcome!!!!! MWAH!
So cute! I remember when these were announced, then they fell off my radar. Is the glitter an overspray or is it all the way through? Is the blue iridescent? Thanks for swatching these!
Poppy Bouquet is very pretty, and wow, so affordable.
So cute but i’m not a big fan of Avon
hi pinkcrow!
They kinda fell off my radar too and I never indulged but now I wants the rest lol!
The blue is kinda sorta iridescent and the shimmer appears to be straight through but it’s not overwhelming just nice and sheer
Hope this helps ya!
