What's Hot this Summer for Makeup & Beauty

What’s hot now for eyeshadow? Plum for Summer eyes — from light violets to deep burgundies. Try the rich, vibrant color in a single sweep with the True Color Eyeshadow Single ($4) in matte finish shade Plum Burgundy. For two complimentary shades in one, check out the True Color Eyeshadow Duo ($6) in shade palette Candied Violet. Want sparkle and glitz with your color? Then you’ll love the luxurious, silky texture and ultra fine pigments of the Eye Dimensions Eyeshadow ($9), shade Sweetheart Plum. The last plum recommendation for your Summer eye makeup is the versatile True Color 8-in-1 Eyeshadow Palette ($10.99) in Plum Essentials. The possibilities are endless with these top rated gorgeous beauty products!
For the finishing touch on your Summer eye makeup, bring your look from bare to dare with Avon mascara! For winged out flutter with filigree bristles try the SuperExtend Winged Out Mascara ($8) Choose from: Black, Blackest Black, and Brown Black. Looking for a classic, tapered wire brush with waterproof volume? Be sure to grab the Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara($8) Comes in Black, only. For weightless volume with a unique, star-shaped brush useAeroVolume Mascara ($8) for a verical lift! Available in Black, Brown Black and Blackest Black.To get classic volume with a super-sized brush to coat and separate lashes, try the popularSuperShock Mascara ($8). Let’s pump up that volume and get into some more daring mascaras from Avon; the SuperShock Max Mascara ($9) is a personal favorite of mine. I love the oversized helix brush with zig zag design. It delivers maximum volume with the shade choice of Black or Brown Black. This one also comes in a Black shade that is waterproof! Have you tried any of the “Big &” mascaras from Avon? Like a curved brush? You’ll want to check out the Big & Daring Volume Mascara ($9) for 5 times the volume! Choose from Black, Brown Black, Blackest Black, and Waterproof Black. Don’t forget, falsies are in — easily apply the Big & False Lash Volume Mascara ($9) to double your lash volume smoothly with the fiber-blend formula. This mascara is available in shades Black, Brown Black, and Blackest Black.
Wondering what’s hot for Summer in the way of lipstick? This Summer it’s all about peach for your lips — from peachy pinks to bold corals! Formulated with SPF 15 and with over 50% of its formula being of moisturizing ingredients, try the Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick ($9) in shade Caring Coral. For luxurious, weightless gel color that is free of heavy waxes, use Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color ($9) in shade Peach Petunia. Have you tried a lip crayon, yet? You’ve got to check out the rich lip color and liner all in one, the Ultra Color Lip Crayon ($8) in cream finish shade Just Rosy. Need your lip color to last long into the hot Summer night? Apply Extra Lasting Lipstick ($10) for 24 hours of comfortable wear. This formula keeps your lips from feeling dry so you don’t have to compromise anything!

My Avon True Color Perfectly Matte Swatch Post + Review

Good evening, loves! If you haven’t heard yet, Avon has just released a new lipstick line and its right on trend. (True Matte Eyeshadow Quads are also available but in this post, i’ll be getting lippy with the lipsticks.)
I’d like to start with saying that I have never been much of a glossy girl. I don’t care much for sticky lips that don’t provide any color with its shine. I tend to prefer the sparkle and glitz to be around my eyes. While Avon does have a few demi-matte lipsticks to the Ultra Color Lipstick line, the truth is they were lacking some shade variety. Also, demi-matte is not a true matte and so when I caught sight of the Perfectly Matte Lipsticks I got incredibly excited! There are 12 True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick shades to choose from and they are all gorgeous!
The name of this lipstick line could not be more fitting. First, True Color. Once again, Avon has done it — what you see is what you get. I appreciate that when I see a tube of Avon lipstick, I’m sure to get the same color on my lips when applied. Other brands have let me down but Avon sure hasn’t. Then, there’s the Perfectly Matte part to the name. Yes, just that — Perfectly Matte. If you are looking for a smooth yet vibrant lipstick that has lasting power without shimmer and shine, this line is for you! The True Color Perfectly Matte Lipsticks will be regularly priced at $9 each, but will launch at an intro special pricing of just $5.99 each!
Here are all 12 of the True Color Perfectly Matte Lipsticks that I “swatched out”. I always have a great time doing these swatches, even though my kids look at my like i’m crazy!
My very first impression on these lipsticks was how smoothly they applied. It was such an effortless application. I’m sure you, like myself, have experienced some waxy lip products that you have to give a great deal of pressure to, to get some kind of color out. This is not the case with these lipsticks — each shade delivers its own unique and eye-pleasing color.  I couldn’t wait to try out all 12 shades on my lips, so I “put my face on” and got my camera ready!
Starting from the bottom left corner and going to the right then straight up, Shade names: Hot Plum, Coral Fever, Perfectly Nude, Marvelous Mocha, and Ideal Lilac. My next impression of the products? Thank goodness for no sticky, harsh, chemical taste. There’s nothing worse than wearing an incredible lip color and having it become tainted due to an unpleasant taste. Also, these lipsticks have such a light feeling to them yet the color is anything but.
After applying these “First Five” I found my favorites were Hot Plum and Marvelous Mocha.  They are all gorgeous though and I can see myself wearing them all for various occasions.  Which one is your favorite out of this group? Leave a comment after the post!
I felt so confident and beautiful when trying these lipsticks out! I was certainly eager to try out the remaining seven shades to the lineup.
Top row going from left to right, Shade names: Superb Wine, Red Supreme and Ravishing Rose. Middle row going from left to right, Shade names: Adoring Love, Pure Pink and Electric Pink. Bottom left, Shade name: Wild Cherry. Look how versatile these shades are! And oh-my-goodness, Electric Pink!? What fun! Bold shades always steal my heart because they give me a fierceness in myself that makes me feel empowered. I also enjoy the sweetness and innocence of shade Pure Pink.
These colors are perfect for Spring (or anytime, really!) I cannot wait to don them with confidence no matter where the day/night takes me! Out of the second grouping, which shade(s) do you love most? Don’t forget to leave a comment below and we can keep the beauty chat going!!

Sneak Peek: AVON Ultra Sexy Heart Fragrance

Hey, beauties! On the blog this evening is some insider info on a new fragrance that will make its debut in Campaign 3 (coming up in just a few weeks!) The notes on this one are simply lovely -- Maraschino cherries, irresistible red rose petals, and decadent chocolate marshmallow. It's an intoxicating floral gourmand that will capture the heart. 

Ultra Sexy Heart Eau de Toilette Spray 1.7 fl. oz. INTRO SPECIAL $14
(After the intro special, this product will be reg. priced at $23)

In the past, AVON has offered online exclusive pre-sales on upcoming fragrances. No official word on this as of yet, but keep checking online at youravon.com/ssandis to see if there will be an opportunity to purchase this new fragrance before its official launch date! This is sure to be a big hit with anyone who adores a flirty, romantic scent. 

I've experienced the scent myself, which is another perk of being an Avon Representative. (Getting to try the latest and greatest at a discounted price!) If you are interested in learning more about the AVON Opportunity and Starting your own AVON Business, CLICK HERE. My experience with the Ultra Sexy Heart Eau de Toilette Spray was delightful. This one will not overpower you -- it is lightly yet noticeably fragrant. My first impression on this product, was a feeling of reminiscence from something I had once (but cannot quite put my finger on) smelled during a Victoria's Secret visit. I can say that the cost of anything in that store is considerably more than this price, even when it is not at an intro special. Get an amazingly high-quality product from AVON for a fraction of the cost! 

Who is excited to try this new fragrance? Comment below! I'd love to continue the beauty chat on this sneak peek entry!! Thanks for reading and please feel free to share to your favorite social media outlets. Stay tuned for more sneak peeks, insider info on AVON products, freebies and promotional coupon codes... all sure to be coming soon!!

UC Indulgence Lip Color Swatches

Hey, beauties! Now is the time for me to do a lippy swatch post since the AVON Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color is at the LOWEST PRICE EVER -- only $3.99 each! (Reg. $9 each) As an AVON Independent Sales Representative, I am able to purchase lipstick samples in many shades/lines. This is geared for my customers to try out so they can see if they like the color prior to making their purchase. It also works out great for me so I can try a new shade out when the mood strikes. 

Today I will be "swatching" most of the Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color lipstick line. There are 12 indulgent shades to this line and I have 10 that I will show swatches on today. The 2 shades that I do not have on me to share with you are: In Bloom (a light golden/brown nude color) and Day Lily (a deep burgundy more purple than reddish, though).
(From left to right) Peach Petunia, Petal Pink, Poppy Pink, Pink Blossom, Red Tulip, Chocolate Rose, Honey Flower, Plum Verbena, Rose Bouquet, and Orchid Petal.

As you can tell from my picture, I have used the Orchid Petal quite a bit! I love the fun purple shade. I don't find it to be too bright but it sure is cheerful. I've never really experienced a shade like it which is why I feel that I am most drawn to its unique color. 

Here is a collage I made up of me wearing a few of the AVON Ultra Color Indulgence, through the pass couple of months, in shades: Chocolate Rose, Rose Bouquet, Pink Blossom, and Orchid Petal :
I had so much fun wearing the Chocolate Rose shade. It was way outside my comfort zone to don such a dark brown color. I received tons of compliments while wearing it. The Rose Bouquet is a great red shade for those who wish to take that next step from lighter/darker pink shades. This shade is a perfect transition from that to the classic red lip. Pink Blossom is such a cute and girly shade! I also receive a ton of compliments when I wear this one. Then we have the Orchid Petal, which as I mentioned above, I find to be an incredibly unique shade. 

I feel that all of these lipstick shades would work on any skin tone. The UC Indulgence lipsticks are lightweight, yet provide full coverage and rich color. These lipsticks have a creamy and refreshing texture -- quite soothing to the lips! 

SWATCH TIME!
