My Review on the Newest Clearskin Product

TGIF, beauties!! I'll be blogging today on an upcoming product that will be making its arrival in Campaign 18, starting on August 7th 2015 at youravon.com/ssandis It is the Clearskin Blemish Clearing Overnight Treatment and the intro price will be only $4.99 (Reg. price will be $6.49) 

Help treat and prevent blemishes while you sleep. In two weeks, helps fade the look of acne marks and acne redness. 2% salicylic acid (the maximum over-the-counter level). Use every night as a spot treatment or all over face to help prevent future breakouts. Won't dry out your skin. 1.7 fl. oz. 

I had the opportunity to purchase one before its Campaign 18 launch date! (Another perk of being an AVON Representative) I have been using it for 3 nights and I already can say that I love this product. Each night, after using my Anew Vitale Gel Cleanser (my personal favorite face cleanser), I gently squeeze a small dab of the product onto my index fingertip.

I choose to apply it all over as a mask, so I smooth a thin layer all over my face. There is a very light scent to it - almost a menthol, "cooling" scent. It is NOT overpowering. 

Now, after I apply this overnight treatment I can see why it is for overnight use. My face gets a bit shiny and greasy looking. (Key word is looking folks, DOES NOT feel greasy). This doesn't seem to be an issue as I wear it overnight and all i'm doing is sleeping. When I wake up in the morning the shine is no more. I cleanse again with my Anew Vitale Gel Cleanser and do a quick swipe with my Clearskin Blemish Clearing Acne Pads (Current Special Offer 2 for $7 - Reg. $4.49) and go about my day.

Why I love this product: 

• I don't have to think much about it. Its an easy, quick application and then i'm off to bed. 
• It has a smooth, creamy, texture that feels refreshing on my face.
• It works! I know it says after 2 weeks, but like I said - i've used it for 3 nights and I can already tell a difference.
• It is inexpensive. There are so many great skincare products out there, with a vast majority leaving me blasted with sticker shock. I just cannot see spending a great deal of money on something that can give me amazing results for a fraction of the price! 
• It doesn't burn or sting at my skin when I apply it, unlike some other acne spot treatments I have used in the past. 
• A little bit goes a long way! You only have to apply a very thin layer to cover an entire face. If you choose to use this only as a spot treatment, I can only imagine how long this product will last you. Even if you apply it all over, like I do, this product will last you a long time -- because again, you do not have to use that much for this product to work. In fact, if you use too much your skin will probably be left feeling dry, and no one wants that. 

Get ready for this products' launch at youravon.com/ssandis on 8/7/15! Go on to my eStore and register as my customer today, so you will not miss any valuable offers/promo codes.

As of this post, the Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel has a 4.5 out of 5 star rating with 484 customer reviews. Let's see why this product comes so highly recommended: 

Customer Comments about Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel:

"I have been using these for a couple of years and they have made such a difference in my skin. I tried so many products trying to get my skin to look glowing and healthy again and nothing was working. Then I tried these and, WOW! a complete difference after just a couple of uses. People tell me they can not believe I am 44 years old. Strangers ask me and my daughter if we are sisters. I would not want to be without this product. I will buy it as long as Avon sells it."

"Excellent product for exfoliation and clarity. I was really impressed (and I'm a cosmetics skeptic): my dull skin became brighter and clearer, with a shine on the apples of my cheeks.. To see real resuts, give it about a week of every-other-day use in the beginning, then maybe twice a week or even less, depending on your skin type. (I'm normal/oily, with occasional breakouts). I always order a couple extra, just in case. Highly recommend."

"I've seen visible results using this product. It helps my skin's texture by evening it out. The longer I use it so far the better it works."

"I used to spend $40+ for peel pads from another brand, but these seriously work just as good (if not better!) and they're half the price and even less when they're on special! I just re-ordered 2 more when they went on sale and can't wait to use them again. I was out for about a week and can immediately tell a difference in my skin without them. I use these at night after I wash my face, and they leave my skin feeling smoother, brighter, and give me a more even skin tone. I hope Avon never gets rid of these! I'd also recommend these if you have acne prone skin, glycolic acid is great for cell renewal!"

That is just a snippet of all the rave customer testimonials that you can all read at youravon.com/ssandis before making your online purchase. Remember, your order will always ship to your address when choosing the Direct Delivery option. Free shipping always, on all orders $40+.

Try this product today, you have nothing to lose (with AVON's Customer Satisfaction Guarantee) and only smoother, brighter, and more even skin tone to gain!!! Have a great day and thanks for reading.

Product Spotlight: Smooth Minerals Makeup

Hi, beauts! I have just got to share with you this amazing makeup line from AVON -- Smooth Minerals. It is one of the best selling foundations that is sold by AVON, with rave customer reviews. I'll be sharing a few of those in just a little bit. Let's start talking about the product and what Smooth Minerals makeup is all about. 

Smooth Minerals makeup is made with pure mineral pigments and is free of talc, oil, and fragrance -- so it is suitable for sensitive skin! 

Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation - Build-able coverage. Natural, luminous finish. Available in 12 shades, 2 of which include a "Setter" (Transparent Glow) and a "Bronzer" (Bronze). 

Regular Price: $12 Currently ON SALE for $6.99

More on the Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation: Shake, swirl & blend. Get the perfect amount every time! No more mess, no more spills. Our innovative design dispenses a single application…with no waste. Medium coverage. Natural luminous finish. Now includes mirror. Made with pure mineral pigments for luminous color.

TO USE:
1. Flip open lid and remove the adhesive seal
2. Close lid and turn container upside down
3. Gently shake container back and forth to load powder
4. Turn container right side up and open lid
5. Swirl a brush on the dispensing surface to pick-up powder, apply in a circular motion
6. Repeat as necessary to get your desired look

Some Customer Comments on Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation: (As of this post, Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation is rated 4.2 out of 5 stars with 526 Customer Reviews)

• "I have very oily skin, combination skin in dryer spots with a light to medium tone. I am in my mid 30's with some what sensitive skin as well. This powder lasts all day, doesn't look cakey and shows way less oil than other foundations. I can also wear a sunscreen underneath the powder foundation and it doesn't add any extra oil later on in te day (which never happens with alternative foundations). This is such a great product for the price. I truly hope they never alter it or stop making it."

• "It's lightweight and goes on easily. It provides just the right amount of coverage and I don't feel like I am wearing makeup."

• "A great product. True colors blend to match your skin tone. Silky shine free. Makes my skin look young, healthy and flawless! I've got my daughter and best friend using it, too! For a small price, you get beautiful results!"

Smooth Minerals Blush - Featherweight. Airbrushed Finish. There are 8 shades to choose from.

Regular Price: $10 Currently ON SALE for $6.99

More on the Smooth Minerals Blush: Contains pure mineral pigments...and enriched with vitamins. Free of talc, oil and fragrance. Great for all skin types, even sensitive. Infused with our mineral glow pearls…Avon’s mineral blush illuminates cheeks and helps to bring out skin’s true vibrance. Featherlight airbrushed finish for a healthy radiance.

TO USE:
Pick up a small amount of blush with a brush and shake off excess. Using a circular motion, work brush over cheeks and blend.

Some Customer Comments on Smooth Minerals Blush: (As of this post, Smooth Minerals Blush is rated 4.4 out of 5 stars with 200 Customer Reviews)

• "I really like how easily this goes on, and the color is great. It's nice knowing that I'm using a product with pure mineral pigments that doesn't contain talc, oil and fragrance."

• "I purchased 2 shades: blushing mauve and blushed. I use the mauve shade for a pick-me-up on days that are dreary, & the blushed shade on sunny days (it has a sun-kissed look). I'm hoping that Avon will revive this product line. I miss the foundation, eye shadow and especially the mascara. None of this line broke out my sensitive skin, was very easy to use, and a little went a long way for long wear!"

• "I have to say I have been a little skeptical with trying new things. I have used high priced department store brands and decided to give this a try. I will tell you that I am loving this and all of the products that I have tried with AVON!"

NOTE: When purchasing these products, it is important to know that they do not come with an application brush. Don't worry - AVON has a Kabuki Brush that does the trick! The regular price on the brush is $6.99 but it is currently on sale for only $3.49! 

I've saved the best for last, beauties!! Create your perfect Smooth Minerals essentials set, all 5 for only $31.45! (Over a $50 value!!) You get the foundation, the blush, the setter, the bronzer, and the brush! {Yes, all the exclamation marks are necessary, this is a deal worth being excited about!!!!}

Try this line of makeup products today, while the amazing sale is going on at youravon.com/ssandis I am sure you will be thrilled with your Smooth Minerals.

How To: Order AVON Online from Previous Campaigns

Hey there, beauties! I get this question asked a lot so I wanted to go over it in a blog entry. That question being "Can I order from this book even though its expired?" I don't like to think of AVON brochures as being expired - Chances are the products are still there and the pricing is comparable to or even better than in the current brochures. As your AVON Representative, I can "back order" from the current brochure as well as the 2 previous brochures. (Example: I am currently in Campaign 17. I can order from that brochure and I can also order from Campaign 16 and Campaign 15.) 

If you shop online at my AVON eStore, you too can "back order" from the 2 previous campaigns in addition to the one that is currently being promoted.

Back Order from Previous AVON Campaigns
Browse the online AVON catalogs, find the product numbers of the items you’d like to order, and write down which campaign you found the items in. Once you are ready to place your AVON order. In the upper right hand corner of my AVON eStore, click shop product #. You can then input your product numbers and use the drop down menus to select the campaign in which you wish to order from to get a certain deal/special offer. I always like to tell my online customers to do this since I like to get them the best deal possible -- and this helps in not missing a previous sale that is currently being offered.

The view of my AVON eStore once clicking on Shop Now...

Let's zoom in a bit...

The arrow that I added to the image shows you exactly where to click to enter product numbers; this will ensure that you are getting the best deal possible on the item(s) that you are interested in purchasing.

Remember, you can only order from the current campaign and the 2 campaigns prior. 

That's it - there really isn't much to it, its just that not everyone knows that they are able to do it. If you have any questions about ordering AVON online, contact me. You can expect more informative blog posts on the AVON Opportunity, Online Shopping Tips, as well as Tips for New AVON Representatives -- all coming soon! Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!! xo

This FOTD features some of my absolute favorite AVON products. The Big & Daring Volume Mascara is my essential mascara. I love how it brings my lashes to life and takes them from dull to daring!

Don't Miss These Back-to-School Items Feat. Popular Characters!

Hey, beauts! TGIF!! I am so ready for the weekend, lots of fun things planned with the fam. First, let's take care of some business. Campaign 17 has now launched on my AVON eStore at youravon.com/ssandis It will run through and including August 6th. I'll be blogging today on what AVON offers that does not have to do with lipstick, blush, or concealer. That's right, AVON has a wide-range of items including products/items for your kiddos! Getting ready to do some back to school shopping? 

My daughter is getting ready to start preschool and when I saw the new Disney Frozen Backpack Set - I knew I had to get it for her. Like most little girls, she adores Anna and Elsa and that cute and silly snowman, Olaf. I was able to get the backpack set before its launch date (another perk of being an AVON Representative!) and it arrived today. She had seen it in the books and told me that she wanted it, but I didn't tell her it would be coming. I wanted to surprise her! 

When the orders arrived, she - as per her usual - helped me open the box to go through it and organize customer orders. The best part? Her backpack was right on top so it was the first thing she saw! Bless her heart, she said "Is that for me or did someone order it?" I told her "That's all yours baby girl, I got it for ya!" She is so thrilled and cannot wait for her first day. She said "Everyone at school will love this." I think its safe to say that she is right!

We removed the backpack from the packaging and were highly impressed. The colors are bright and fun! The front of the backpack as well as the lunch box (that comes with and can attach or un-attach to the backpack) has a smooth, shiny finish - this will make for an easy-wipe clean up when any dirt gets on it ('cause you know with kids, it will get dirty!) 

The set includes the backpack (16" H x 12" W x 5" D), lunchbox (7 1/4" H x 9 1/4" W x 3" D), and a reusable sandwich/snack pouch (6" H x 6 1/2" W) It can be purchased online at youravon.com/ssandis and will ship to your address. The cost for this set is $24.99.

I apologize for my lackluster cell phone picture. You can still see how fabulous it is and I can tell you that in person you will be even more thrilled. 

In addition to the Disney Frozen Backpack Set, there is a Minions Backpack Set available. It includes a backpack (16" H x 12" W x 5" D), a lunchbox (7 1/4" H x 9" W x 3" D) and a pencil case. (3" H x 7 3/4" W) It is also priced at $24.99 for the set. 

Just like the Frozen Backpack Set, the Minions lunchbox can attach or be un-attached from the backpack. There's also netting on the side for carrying a water bottle! 

There are more Minions and Disney Frozen items, including: 

Minions Stationary Set $9.99

Minions Slip-on Sneakers $19.99

Minions Watch with Light & Sound $12.99

Frozen Accessories Case and Journal $9.99

Frozen Projection Watch $9.99

Frozen Enchanted Mix-and-Mach Earrings Set $7.99 for 3 pair

Your kids, grand-kids, nieces/nephews, and little cousins will love these items and they are sure to make the first day of school the best one yet! These items are popular, and will go fast - so don't wait another minute. Register as my customer at youravon.com/ssandis and make sure you get yours before they are gone! Remember, FREE SHIPPING every single day on all orders that are $40 and up. No code needed.

If you have any questions please contact me. I appreciate your business! Don't forget to leave a comment and share this post to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, etc. Have a great weekend!!

FOTD No. 3: Love it or Leave it?

Afternoon, beauts! Happy Hump Day!! Blogging today on another AVON FOTD Makeup. I will include which products are used in this look and list product prices, including any sales or special offers where applicable. Then, we'll open it up for discussion in the comments. I love these types of entries because they are fun and I enjoy getting the feedback from readers.

Here's the FOTD {Face Of The Day}

To get this look use: 
Ideal Flawless CC Color Corrector Cream $7.99 (Reg. $11)
Smooth Minerals Blush in Radiance $10
Mega Effects Liquid Eyeliner $8
Mega Effects Mascara $10 
Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color in Petal Pink $9 

What I love from this look are many things! First off, the UC Indulgence Lip Color line is fabulous. It is a lightweight gel formula but it delivers full coverage color. Feels great on -- I almost forget that i'm wearing lipstick. That is how much of a lightweight/natural feel it has. I have to be honest, I have not yet tried the CC Cream BUT I am a huge fan of the Ideal Flawless BB Cream!! I love the idea of the Mega Effects Mascara Wonderbrush, but thanks to my poor eyesight and the fact that I have to get nose close to my mirror when applying makeup {this girl wears glasses!} I have had a difficult time applying. So, sadly I cannot use this product. My cousin has used this though and loves it! She has no issue with application -- lucky girl! I know tons of ladies who swear by this product, so it does come highly recommended. 

Now, i'd love to hear from you - What do you think of this FOTD? Comment below!!
