Avon Extralasting Line..

Avon has a new line that replaced the old Perfect Wear line called "Extralasting".  As the name implies this makeup is geared for super long wear!  Let's get started!

Extralasting Foundation:
This foundation really does last all day!  It's creamier than most and doesn't dry quite as fast as the traditional long wearing foundation.  Even though the shades range from super light to dark for this foundation, it can oxidize with some shades.  This foundation blended nicely, dried to a flawless finish, and last about 8 hours.  I enjoyed this coverage!



Extralasting Lipstick:

This lipstick ROCKS!!  I love a good long wearing lipstick, but HATE when it feels like I've sucked a garbage bag around my lips! Blah!  This lipstick comes in a nice range of shades, applies smoothly, and dries to a nice long lasting metallic finish.  I won't say this lasts all day by any means, but it does last for a good while.  I wore this a good 6 hours without a touchup!



Extralasting Lipgloss:

This lipgloss is super shiney, comes in some beautiful shades, and lasts a long time!  Plus, these lipglosses look gorgeous over the Extralasting Lipstick!  These lipglosses follow suit with the lipstick- they are not sticky, but smooth and dry to a nice finish. Highly recommended!



Extralasting Eyeshadow:

This eyeshadow has great wear and a beautiful finish!  These are loosely powdered eyeshadows that apply smoothly.  These shadows are slightly wet and dry to a nice finish that looks beautiful!  I will say that unless you wear an eye primer that these can crease.

Anew Genics Anti-Aging Cream

Avon's Anew line is the cutting edge of anti-aging skin care

and the newest addition to the family is by far

my favorite cream to date!  Introducing the new Anew Genics!

This cream is highly effective!  I have been using this for only 2 weeks and already I see a reduction in fine lines,

the texture of my skin is much more smooth,

a healthier "glow", and an overall better appearance.

If you have sensitive skin you may not want to

try this cream. It does have a slight stinging/tingling sensation when applied.  This is normal, and as your

face gets used to the cream you will feel the tingling

less and less. 

Overall, I really love this cream!!  Two thumbs up!

Affordable Mascaras!!

Alot of people believe that you can't get good quality mascara from a drug store mascara.  That is simply not true! 

I have very thin, average length lashes so I want a mascara that plumps and lenthens. My all time favorites are:

Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara:

This mascara really plumps your lashes and makes them super soft! This didn't flake on me or burn my eyes. This mascara has olive oil in the formula so it conditions your lashes.  Great for contact lens wearers! Retails for $7-$8

Mascara Colossal Volume Mascara:



This mascara is really amazing!  I did not think I would like this mascara but it took my lashes from "meh" to "Whoa"!  Somehow it coats differently than other mascaras and not only plumps my lashes but multiplies them.  I experienced no burning or flaking. This washes off easily with soap and water. Retails for $6

L'Oreal Lash Out Mascara:



If you like soft, teddy bear, full fanned lashes with lots of length you will LOVE this

mascara!!  I have used this mascara on and off for years and love the results! I experienced no flaking, smudging, or burning when using this mascara.  Retails for  $7

Cover Girl Volume Exact:

I love this mascara!  This really boosts my lashes and dries quickly.  This mascara separates, gives volume, and actually helped to lenthen them.  This has the rubber wand that grabs each lash and is easy to work with.  Retails for $6-$7

Avon Smooth Minerals Eyeshadow

Some of the best mineral eyeshadow I've ever

used is from the Avon Smooth Minerals line!

These little gems come in a flattering array

of colors for all tastes! 

The container is small and round, and that means

one thing--you must shake the product out!

The packaging leaves a bit to be desired as it can

be messy.

The eyeshadow brush method works well, but my favorite is the wet sponge eyeshadow applicator!  When this

shadow is applied wet you have a highly pigmented "BAM" look that lasts all day!  My favorite colors in the

line are Rose Quartz, and Bronzestone.

Anew Skin Transforming Primer

This primer is awesome!  It's a gel/lotion consistency, and a little goes a long way.  This primer dries quickly, spreads evenly, and reduces the look of fine lines. 

I love the finish of this product!  It dries to a matte finish and doesn't make your skin dewy or tacky.  It has a light fragrance that dissipates once applied, and really helps decrease fine lines and wrinkles! 

I highly recommend this primer!

Magix Essential Mattifier

Avon has introduced the Magix Mattifier.  If any of you have seen it, it has very simple sleek packaging.  It reminds me very much of the one that Mally makeup offers!

This really did mattify my T-Zone and helped to reduce the oil.  It reduced my oil without aggravating my skin.  I was not expecting this product to work this well!  This is highly recommended! 

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, I give this product a 9!

I bought this product on sale for $7.99 which is normal for Avon since they have awesome sales on their products!  See your local Avon Rep today or visit my website:  http://kristaleonard.avonrepresentative.com/ !

Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliners

Who doesn't love a good eyeliner?  Glimmersticks is a retractable pencil eyeliner and comes in 3 choices:
- original (smooth wearing eyeliner)
- Diamonds (metallic shimmer eyeliner that looks beautiful and gives your eyes a pop of color)
- Waterproof (this stuff doesn't budge)

On a typical day I wear the waterproof version and it doesn't smudge or budge! The color selection for waterproof isn't extensive: black, brown, navy blue, and copper. 

My favorite for holidays and nights out is definitely the Diamonds!  You get beautiful metallic shimmer and the colors are spot on with Sugar Plum (plum metallic), gold, black, copper, brown, emerald green, and blue. 

The best thing?  Avon usually has these on sale buy one get one (2 for $7) or $2.99 a piece!  Super affordable!
