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!

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:

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!!!!!!!!

Not so good products:

Avon True Color Blush in "Coral Radiance"

This blush comes in a nice compact with about half of the product. The color is oh so not even properly represented online. I wanted a very peachy color, matte one at that. What I got was this above. Hardly any pigment, doe not stay on, big glitter specs(I hate that), so I was pretty dissapointed since I compare them to the Mineral blushes from Avon.

Avon Solutions "Banishing Cream"

Want the truth? It doesn't banish. I used this for about 1 month and 1/2. I have some sun spots from my pregnancy and they did not get any better with this cream. It smells nice, it makes your skin soft but it's  a waste of money..

Cosmo says:

I came accross this article on Cosmo posted on Oct 11

 about the new "Anew Genics" night treatment cream and I thought I'd share it with you all:

"Dermatologist Dr. Cheryl Karcher"

  Here's what she said about everything from zits to sunscreen:

For acne: "I like salicylic acid because it's not irritating or super-drying." 

How much SPF do you really need to wear in the winter? "In the wintertime, particularly with a clear blue sky, there are more UVA rays—the kind that cause aging. I recommend an SPF of at least 30."

Her best tip for when you're headed to the derm: "Bring in what you're using. This way you can say, 'You see my skin—am I using the right regime or should I change it?' So often, women use the wrong products—and way too many."

Start thinking about wrinkles...now! "The aging process starts at 20-25 and starts to show on your face around 30, depending on your environment." She suggests using an anti-aging product in your early 20's (Avon's latest is called "Anew Genics", which fights both lines and dark spots)—and you'll look much better at 30...and beyond.

**I do have to share my personal experience on "Anew Genics" with you guys, I'm not that crazy about it. I mean it really did make my skin super super soft the very next morning and there after, but I feel (maybe i'm obsessed) that my lines are more visible and my one wrinkle that I have in between my eyebrows is way more noticeable when I use Genics. 


I had been using "Anew Reversalist Sterling Emulsion" prior to Genics and I honestly liked it better. I felt a difference in the texture of my face and the wrinkles and lines weren't as visible, not that I have a lot, but you know that as women we obsess over every detail in our faces hehe.


I am still using it since I want to get my moneys worth, but I can't wait to go back to using the emulsion. Everyone's skin is different, and what didn't work for me will sometimes work for others. I have a few clients who have purchased Genics from me that are in their late 30's to late 40's that really do love it and see a big difference in their skin but I have to say that unfortunately this product didn't meet nor exceed my expectations. 

Protect your OJOS

This little bottle above is a true miracle worker! I have never used an eye makeup remover that has worked as well as this does! The "Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover" is sooo good you really don't have to wipe your eyes at all!

 I literally just apply a pea size amount onto my tissue or makeup remover wipe and swipe it over my eye makeup and it comes off so easily. This bottle is very small but very mighty. It also lasts a long time since you only use a small amount, the best thing is that it's on sale for like .75 CENTS!

 Yeah, seriously! I'm going to try to post a video sometime to really show how good this is!

Wipe your face

I always use makeup remover wipes prior to washing my face at night, I like to make sure I have no makeup on my face what-so-ever. Thru the years I have used, Pond's, Oil of Olay, Neutrogena and even Target's generic brand of makeup remover wipes. They all make my eyes burn if in case I happen to get a bit of the "wetness" in my eye, especially when I've had a lot of eyeliner on.

 These "Avon Makeup Remover Wipes" are like half the price of the Store bought and I can seriously say that they are sooooooo good. They never irritate my eyes. I use them in combination with Avon's eye makeup remover. I also love that they really do make your face so soft so you don't feel like you just had a chemical peel as some others do, leaving your face feeling raw and burning like no other. They also have a very pleasant smell, very botanical.

Magix face perfector

 I love this little piece of awesomeness!

It's basically a primer, it's very smooth and silky, you apply all over your face after your moisturizer and before your 

foundation or powder. It visibly minimizes pores and makes your face look flawless. The best thing about it is that it's $2.99!!!

 For a limited time only because it's sold in the outlet section of AVON'S website. 

I've had mine for like over a month

 so there's a lot of value for your product. 

The only color available at the moment is in "Medium Deep" but it literally applies on clear. I have a swatch below to show you how clear it is.  Unless you are "Powder" white, you should have no problem.

Of course I didn't blend it as much on my hand so you could see a bit of the product and see how it looks.

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"

Eyes; for all the better to see with..

The 12-in-1 eyeshadow palette for AVON was on sale not too long ago and I decided to give it a try, here are the swatches for them:

As you can see, some of the lighter colors are better pigmented than some others. 
The burgundy and black which are supposed to be darker weren't as pigmented as the others. The color was very hard to get on my skin. I wasn't too happy with that. On the other hand all the other colors were beautiful! So I guess 9 out of 12 ain' bad right? :) For less than $10? Um heck yes!! I do have to suggest you use a good base for this before applying eyeshadow. The Anew liquid eyeshadow works great as a base, prevents creasing and makes the makeup easy to blend. 

For Ashy Larry hands:

As a stay at home mom I wash a lot of dishes.

 My hands dry up so much they sometimes even peel!! (gross, I know)

When I started selling Avon I knew I had to order one of their hand creams ASAP since they were on sale! So I ordered the Moisture therapy Hand cream in Vitamin Treatment. I got it for less than $3, the size of the container is actually pretty reasonable, compared to Eucerin or Gold Bond of a comparable size. 

As soon as I started using it I felt a difference and it actually helped my skin a lot. Now I keep it downstairs next to the kitchen sink and I make sure to use it everytime my hands touch water and soap. It's a very thick creamy lotion so if you happen to rewash your hands for some reason right after applying this it will come off, it needs some time to really get into your skin to do its job. It's kind of like a mask. It is extremely moisturizing and the smell is very subtle and clean. It also with other ingredients!

As you can see by the creases on the bottle I am almost due for a refill :)
