AVON Moisture Seduction Lip Gloss

I love a lipgloss that is hydrating, smells sweet, no big pieces of glitter,

and has great color payoff.  This is where AVON Moisture Seduction Lip

Gloss comes in!  It's AVON's newest lip gloss that was just introduced

and it's fantastic!

It's actually swirled with vanilla-colored gloss that softens the

color going on your lips.  It looks so neat! It smells like a cross between

vanilla and candy!  The consistency is relatively thick, goes

on smoothly, and has a beautiful shimmer without being "glittery".

You get some decent longevity out of these lip glosses. I

applied the lip gloss at 5:30am and by 9:00am there was

still color on my lips (although the "shimmery" effect had

worn off).

Here are the swatches of  Violet Beauty and Pearl Pink (the first 2

left to right on the top row):

The typical price is $7, but they are

usually on sale for $2.99!    They don't have the best color selection.

The color choices are:  Pearl Pink (bright medium pink), Violet Beauty

(lovely soft lilac), Glimmering Champagne (peachy/beige), and Sweet

Clementine (coral-ish/pink).

AVON True Color Quads

AVON has some great eyeshadow quads called 'True Color' that are usually on sale for $4.99.  These shadows range in finish from metallic to shimmer to matte.  I have several of their quads and the quality in each is awesome!  I experience long wear, no fall out on the cheek area, and no creasing. Here are a few of the ones that I have.  Some are very soft, but they all give great color pay off and blend effortlessly!

Favorite Mary Kay Products

Mary Kay is such an under-rated cosmetic

line!  They have fabulous products that

wear high end.  They have so many different

products for everyone's taste!  Here are my favorites:

Satin Lips:  This set comes with one gritty walnut paste that gently exfoliates your lips.  You lightly apply and let it set for about 10 minutes.  Gently wipe off with a wet washcloth.  The second tube is most excellent balm that soaks into your freshly exfoliated lips.  Talk about hours of hydration!  This set has been my favorite for as long as I can remember!



TimeWise 3-in-1 Cleanser:  This creamy cleanser exfoliates, cleanses, and refreshens in 1 step!  My skin is smooth, clean, and glows after using this gem of a cleanser  (not to mention it fights signs of aging!!).  My skin can be kind of sensitive with anti-aging cleansers but my skin LOVED this one!!



Creme Lipstick:  Mary Kay has truly outdone themselves with these lipsticks! They have an excellent color selection, a great selection of "finishes" (matte, satin, frost, and shimmer), and great packaging.  These have great longevity, look beautiful on, and really hydrate.  I don't like when lipsticks 'settle' into the lines on my lips and these don't do that!  Now, with that being said these lipsticks don't have the best "taste" in the world. It has improved over the years, but still isn't great.  Mary Kay, Inc., if your listening, vanilla flavor would be great!

Creme To Powder Foundation:  This foundation is nothing short of spectacular in my opinion!  It covers my flaws, makes my face look flawless, gives medium to full coverage, comes in a variety of colors, doesn't oxidize on my face, and really gives a natural matte finish.  This foundation is extremely affordable, too!  The foundation comes in a square, magnetized slate and you must purchase a mini-compact to place the foundation in.  If you decide not to repurchase the foundation, then you can put Mary Kay eye shadows or blushes in it!  Very handy little container!



Mineral Eye Color Bundles:  These bundles take the guess work out of "what colors look good with my eye color?"!  The colors are bundled together by eye color.  The bundles to choose from are:  Beautiful Brown, Brilliant Blue, Gorgeous Green, and Hypnotic Hazel.  I love Mary Kay mineral eye shadows because they have a beautiful color selection, are long wearing, and blend like a dream!



Drugstore Treasures

These are just some of my favorite drugstore gems that make you look fantastic without breaking your purse!

* Almay Truly Lasting Foundation (TLC):  this foundation gives 16 hours of medium to full coverage.  The coverage leaves your face flawless, and stays put all day..even in the humid climate! $7.99-$13.99

* Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks:  these are my favorite lipsticks EVER!  They are moisturizing, have a wonderful finish, are super affordable, and come in a great variety of colors! $5.97-$8.47

*Cover Girl Cheekers or Classic Blush:  these blushes are fantastic!  I adore the finish these blushes give.  Lots of colors at a great price!  The finishes are slightly shimmery which gives the face a great "pick me up"!  $3.00-$5.00

*Almay One Coat Mascara:  this mascara is perfect to plump and separate the lashes!  This mascara gives my lashes the life they need to look awesome!  This mascara didn't flake, or burn my eyes.  It comes in black, and brown/black.  $5.97-$6.97

*Milani Retractable Eyeliner:  this eyeliner goes on smooth and lasts all day!  Love Milani's color selection in these because there is plenty to choose from.  Not every store carries Milani products, but they can be found at Walgreens and CVS.  $3.97-$6.97

AVON Dramatic Firming Cream

Have you ever used a product for a while, and all of a sudden you actually "see" the difference?

This is what AVON's Dramatic Firming Cream

did for me!  I used it for about 2 weeks religiously

and not expecting much I might add.....

I woke up one morning and felt my skin, it was

tighter and felt taut. There was no way

this could be my skin!!  I looked in the mirror and

it even looked tighter. Super giddy!!

This is, by far, one of the BEST creams I have ever used

on my skin!  It really does do what it says it's

going to do....firm your skin!

AVON Satin Satisfaction Lip Color

My favorite lipsticks are those that really hydrate

and don't crease on your lips.  One such lip color

is AVON's new Satin Satisfaction Lip Color.

This lip color goes on like silk, and hydrates your

lips like a lip balm.  They come in a range of colors that almost any skin tone can wear.  These last for a

long time, don't dry my lips out, and makes them feel,

well.....like satin!

mark. Moisturizers

Winter time always has my skin singing

the blues!  My skin gets itchy, flakey,

and cracks very easily if I don't pamper

my skin with moisture.  Some of my all time favorite

skin moisturizers for my dry skin are from mark.!

My first love, is the Lemon Sugar Body Butter. This is a light moisturizer that smells like lemon sugar and oh so yummy!  The smell is not overwhelming, and it dissipates into a nice light fragrant cream.  While creamy, the consistency is more of a slightly thick lotion.  It absorbs into the skin very quickly and is not greasy (YAY!!  I hate greasy creams).  Makes my skin perfectly moisturized. 

Not only does my body get dry, but my face does as well.  With the wind and cold weather, my face gets quite irritated!  One of my favorite creams to use for winter is mark. Calm and Composed Super Smoothing Moisturizer.  It's a quick absorbing formula infused with super foods avocado and oat, shea butter and red algae combine for a lightweight, oil-free cream that visibly reduces skin redness as it moisturizes (this is also excellent for sensitive skin). 1.7 fl. oz. $18.00 and so worth it!!

For those of use who like using the natural gems of Mother Nature, there is my all time favorite body cream- mark. Relief Effort Total Comfort Body Creme.  This is an amazing cream made with cocoa butter, olive oil and chamomile, and blended with grape and papaya extracts.  This is also EXCELLENT at calming irritated skin!  $14.00
