Reversalist Illuminating Eye System

This eye cream comes with an illuminating cream that helps minimize the look of under eye circles, it's kind of like a concealer if you will. It's very silky, blendable and smells nice.

 I've used it for a couple of weeks now since I stopped using the Anew Clinical Eye Lift.  I actually really like this one, I feel like my eye area has just a better texture and it does not affect my makeup application in anyway. I have experienced other eye creams in the past that take a very long time to absorb and so if you apply makeup before then, well, it's a hot mess, if you know what I mean.

The consistency is rich but not oily and yet still very moisturizing, its not overwhelming to your skin to the point where it will look greasy. This cream is a keeper, I love the illuminating part, it's not shimmery and it's not glittery, it's radiant. Hope you can give this a try it is worth it!

Nails Nails Nails!!!

Here are some more swatches for Avon's Nail Experts line:

"Night Violet"

 "Jade"

 "Tangtastic"

"Bare Necessity"

"Rave"

New colors I love!!!!

Now, I know I have posted my unhappiness with Avon's True Color blushes but I have to say they have redeemed themselves! I recently purchased three blushes and these two were the ones I kept (well I kinda misplaced the other one), I really like these colors, the pigments in these are very strong and very very pretty!! My only complaints are the fact that they are so awkwardly shaped! I mean I can't even pick up product with my blush brush comfortably you know. Who in the world uses those little brushes it comes with anyway? They need to let it go. 

"Rose Lustre" (reminds me of mac's desert rose or melba)

"Molto Mocha" (Reminds me of a slightly lighter version of mac's margin)

Please forgive me for not posting an actual swatch, my lighting is horrible at home but hopefully it will be resolved soon.


Here is Reese Witherspoon wearing "Molto Mocha" for a red carpet event on US Weekly:

Fight your wrinkles today! Before it's too late!

This is my daily regimen, day and night, rain or shine. I love this line, and here is a little about each product:

"Anew Reversalist Cleanser"

This is a cleanser and toner in one, it really does leave my skin extremely soft and clean at the same time. I have no complaints about this one, by far the best cleaner I have used. It foams up very quickly so a little goes a long way, it lasts about 2-3 months!

"Anew Reversalist Day Cream"

This moisturizer has an SPF UVA UVB of 25  and smells very nice, makes me feel super clean! Leaves my face soft and moisturized but not too heavy when I apply makeup over it. It absorbs quickly so as soon as I apply it and I can apply my primer and so on and so forth. I have used it for over 3 months, and I still have about a third left! I will say I have seen a major improvement in my skin since using Anew. I used to have very sensitive skin, allergic to salicylic acid. For a while I had a lot of small red itchy bumps all over my face and it was not acne. I never had issues with my skin until after childbirth. I was a little skeptical about using Anew since my skin was sensitive but along with no longer using mac face products and using these for my cleansing routine my skin is back to normal and even better.

"Anew Reversalist Sterling Emulsion"

This is like a gel used instead of your usual night cream for the especially dry skin types. It's even more moisturizing than the regular night cream. I started using this and stopped when Anew Genics came out. I didn't like Genics so now i'm back to this wonderful little shiny-ness. I just love how pretty and sparkly it is. It's light on your skin, but rich at the same time and it truly makes your skin soooo soft. I will say that the container provides a warning, if you have sensitive skin and apply this immediately after washing your face it will sting a little (it does contain glycolic acid). They recommend waiting about 5 minutes before applying it.

True Color Eyeshadow Quads!!!!

I really like these, the texture and pigments are great actually. I feel like the quality of these shadows are much better than my 12 color palette from an earlier post, they are extremely blendable and long lasting. The colors on the brochure and even online do not even do the real colors justice. They're actually very inexpensive, I got them for 2 for $9.99, anyway, here are the swatches, enjoy!

"Mocha Latte"

"Caribbean Sunset"

 "Sandy Corals"

More eyeliners!!!

Just want to show you guys two more colors of the Mega Impact eyeliners from Avon. I really like these colors they are sooooo pretty and last all day long!!!! They are very well pigmented and apply on sooo smoothly!

AAAAND THE BEST THING, THEY ARE ONLY $2.99 RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!

Dead cells and wrinkles...

Hello everyone! I'm back from a very long couple of weeks of inactivity. My apologies for not updating sooner, I've been a bit busy. But, here we go! I recently got a delivery and so I have lots of new swatches for you all!!! I have two items from Avon's Anew Clinical line that I will be reviewing.
1. AC Eye Lift

 Now, I will not go into details as to what ingredients it contains. The brochure claims to visibly reduce wrinkles and under eye circles after a week. The gel is for your upper/brow area and the other is for under eye. You use it twice a day after washing your face and before applying your moisturizer. I have been using this product for about a month and I have seen no changes in anything! Well, I have to admit that when you apply the gel you can instantly see a difference in the texture of your upper eye area. Though it's a temporary effect, it does improve and diminish the appearance of wrinkles on your eye lid. Not crazy about it unfortunately.


Now for this next product:
2. AC Advanced Dermabrasion System
I love love love this product! It is by far theeee best exfoliant I have ever used. It's a two part system. You start off using just the white section and gradually move up to use in combination with the gray section. The directions are very clear on the bottle in case you forget how it works. It literally makes my skin baby soft, I absolutely love it and have definitely seen an improvement in my skin. I feel like it reveals like a nice radiance as soon as I use it. I absolutely love it!!! I hope you guys give it a try!

Better than pumice

Get ready to get your mind blown for like less than $5!

 Avon if you didn't know, is pretty good at their foot stuff, their "Footworks" collection is probably the best out there in the budget friendly department. 

I have no complaints about any of their foot stuff, it ALL works so well!

I love love love these  Avon's "Foot Works Dual-Action Pedi Peel" pads, 

they literally make your feet feel soft instantly! 

The container comes with a pack of 30, (I use one pad per foot, you can probably get by with one on both), you rub the pads all over your problem areas (on your feet hehe) and voila! Just let the product dry and apply a foot cream of choice, seriously that's all it takes. I always read about it and just thought: "how does it work?", well the pads contain an alpha-hydroxy acid that basically melts away your  gross dead skin; calluses. To top it off, they are always on sale and smell very nice since they also contain aloe vera.

Outspoken, in a few words

Fergie's new perfume "Outspoken" really intrigued me from the very first day I started to sell Avon. It claims to have underlying notes of passion flower, starfruit, blackberry, jasmine, ebony, black leather, and vetiver.  I really do like the scent, it reminds me of  "Far Away" from Avon but a more elegant fruity version? I hope I make sense, I wish Smelli-vision existed so I could show you guys LOL. 

 It's more of a fall scent, yes, definitely for fall. I usually go for lighter fragrances, like D&G light blue, Daisy from Marc Jacobs, Christian Audigier etc, so i'm actually surprised at how much I really like this fragrance. Here's my Con though, it does not last! At all! This fragrance REALLY needs to be layered since it's only made in Eau De Toilette. In my opinion it's a little overpriced, i'm assuming it's because Fergie lent her name to it. 

For those of you who don't know the differences between the fragrance concentration of perfume oil I have posted some quick information below:

•

• Perfume Extract (Extrait): The highest level of concentration, typically sold only in the top-of-the-line fragrance families such as Chanel No. 5.  Concentration levels are between 15% and 40% fragrance, with 20% being typical.
• Eau de Parfum or Parfum de Toilette: The next highest level of fragrance and perfume concentration, Eau de Parfum and Parfum de Toilette are sometimes confusing because the second term includes the words “toilette” and is used by only a handful of firms.  At this level, fragrance concentration is between 10% and 20% with 15% being typical.  This level is also sometimes called Eau De Perfume or Millesime.  For example, the House of Creed releases almost all of its scents in Millesime strength.  This is the strength level preferred by most upper class and rich households.  The best brands typically release their fragrances at this concentration level.
• Eau de Toilette: This is the strength of most fragrances you will find at department stores frequented by the middle class (think J.C. Penney).  A typical Eau de Toilette may cost $65 to $95, making it affordable for the masses.  Personally, we try to avoid any Eau de Toilette instead preferring Eau de Parfums (see above).
• Eau de Cologne: Typically, these are citrus type scents that work well in low concentrations because they have no base notes.  An Eau de Cologne has somewhere between 3% and 8% fragrance with 5% being common.
• Splash and After Shave: Products sold as after shaves or splashes have very little fragrance and it will quickly fade because concentration levels of aromatic compounds stand at only 1% to 3%.

 

Nail Experts Cuticle gel

I usually get my manicure supplies at sally'sbeauty supply but I decided to give this "Nail Experts Cuticle Gel" a try since it was on sale for a two-4-one deal. It's a very small tube, and it does not smell bad, it has a clean scent. 

You apply it only for a few seconds, leave it on for no more than one minute, and it starts working right away. You don't have to massage or anything. I really don't feel like It's the right product for me, this gel literally melts your cuticles and I know some of you might prefer that but I really don't like getting hang-nails. I feel that when I do use a "cuticle remover" it always makes me get baddd hang-nails. I usually use an oil based pen from sally's that just softens them to be gently pushed back. 

Therefore, I think I will return this since I can get my money back because I don't think I will be using it again.

Kim Kardashian loves Avon

I was very surprised to have found this article on celebuzz.com about Kim Kardashian using AVON!

The article reads:
When her hair is becoming over styled Kim applies a deep overnight treatmentto repair her locks. She uses Avon’s Advance Techniques Intense Repair Overnight Elixir, $7.  “By the morning, my hair feels silky and smooth without leaving behind residue on my pillow.”


Though that product's been discontinued AVON's come out with an even better formula that I actually happen to love! It's "Advance Techniques 3D Damage Repair"

It's under $10 and it really works, after bleaching and over processing my hair this is what I love to use to give it that boost of nutrients and softness.

Hey, if Kimmy like AVON why not give it a try!

Theee best eyeliner ever!

AVON'S Mega Impact Eyeliners are probably some of the best eyeliners i've used.  

They are very inexpensive and long lasting. I hate re-applying makeup, I avoid it through out the day and I don't have to with these eyeliners. They come in four colors. I've only purchased the "Extreme Cobalt" and "Black Flash", let me just say that the swatches on the AVON website do NOT do the real colors justice!

 They glide on soooooo easily and are very very intense, I have like 3 extra as backup so I never run out!

Purple Haze

Purple is my absolute favorite color and I am so in love with this "purple haze" eyeshadow quad!

The colors are so beautiful and I do have to admit that in order for the color to be noticeable you do have to use a very good base and so I opted to use my M.A.C paint. I mean if we're trying to replace their eyeshadows it's not gonna be with AVON, it sounds bad but I am just being honest. AVON has beautiful colors but they are not as pigmented as M.A.C.  Nonetheless, I still love this quad.  

Pucker up...

I think I have stated before that I am obsessed with blushes? I am also obsessed with Avon Ultra Color Rich lipsticks  at the moment! I think I surpassed the amount of lipsticks one should have. I just cannot simply get enough hehe. Below are some swatches for two of my favorite shades:




                                                                             "Wink"

                                                                       "Poppy Love"

 Although the picture shows that they may seem a bit shimmery, they are not at all. They are silky matte colors, Avon describes them as satin. They are extremely soft upon application. They are actually very lasting and when you remove them, it doesn't make you feel like you just removed the top layer of your lips as I know other lipstick brands do.  I always feel an attachment to M.A.C's "Lovelorn" lipstick as it was the lipstick I wore on my wedding day, at $14 a piece it's a bit out of my price range so I am happy to say "Wink" is the dupe for my "Lovelorn"

Fight your frizz for what???????????

The Advance Techniques Frizz Control Lotus Shield claims to stop frizz for 3 whole days...

I tried it ya'll and guess what?

I don't know if it blocked it for 3 days or maybe I have very unruly hair but that part was a disappointment. 

When I received my package in the mail and I opened it, I saw that it came boxed up in a tiny little cardboard jewelry box looking box and I was very shocked at the fact that it was a tiny little bottle (didn't pay attention to read what size it was)

But yeah, I paid a bit too much in my opinion for this little gem. I mean it smells very very nice but I honestly don't feel it did anything different than other brands i've tried in the past. I do have very frizzy hair though so, then again it might be might hair doesn't want to be tamed. Someday, I will post pictures of the madness that is my cabello.

Ultra Color Rich Mega impact lipstick

In Pinktastic! 

I love love love this color so much,

its so bright and such a happy color. 

I do have to be honest with you though, I bought it because I wanted a replacement for my M.A.C "Show orchid" and it is not exactly the same. Although the price is waaaaay lower than a M.A.C lipstick, less than triple the price, Show Orchid has cooler undertones while "Pinktastic" has warmer undertones. It is still a wonderful fun color to wear. In comparison to the regular Ultra Color Rich Lipsticks its a little thicker, heavier. Not more moisturizing though. I'm not crazy about how it might cake up if you apply too much, but that's just my opinion :),so be careful when applying (one or two coats will be enough). I love it nonetheless! 
I highly recommend making sure your lips are completely exfoliated before applying as it will bring out any and all chapp-ey situations you may have going on your puckers. If you are somehow unsure on how to exfoliate your lips or are in a rush and need a quick exfo, just brush your lips! 
Yep, just brush em and that'll do it for ya!
