Sign up for my Avon Sample of the Month Club

Hey there, beauts! I’m starting something new with my Avon Business and of course, i’m very excited about it!! Beginning in the month of May, I will be launching my Avon Sample of the Month Club. Be sure to sign up before April 30th to ensure that I will get you on my list in time for the first round. I will send out samples the first week of each month. There is no cost to sign up to receive a monthly Avon sample from me and there will be no pressure placed upon you to place an order. I will, naturally, follow up with you and ask that you complete a short survey on the product that you sampled. I will also be featuring the feedback left to me, in a new series of blog posts on my online blog sites. You can sign up to participate or cancel participation at any time!

Should you love the sample product so much that you want to purchase it in full size, I will give you 10% off! How does that work if you shop online? As long as you ordered with me as your Avon Representative, I will be able to see what you ordered and I will take 10% off the item and mail it to you as a reimbursement. Also, if you refer me and my Avon Sample Club to someone and they in turn join as well — when they place their first order with me as their Avon Representative, I will give you (the referrer) a FREE GIFT!

What do you need to provide to me to become my Avon Sample Club Member? 

• Your First and Last Name (I will NOT display your full last name publicly on my blogs, facebook, or anywhere else!!)

• Your Mailing Address (This way I can send you your samples!)

• Whether you are of Fair, Medium, or Dark Skin Tone (This helps me do my best to send you a shade that has the best chance of working for you should the sample of the month be a makeup foundation!)

• General Idea of Age: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-55, or 55+ (This will help with organization as well as a better understanding of interest in certain samples, etc!)

• Please Register Online as my Avon eCustomer, with me (Sylvia Sandis) as your Avon Representative (This will make sure you are all ready to go whenever you are ready to place an Avon Order Online!)

What kind of questions will I be asking you to answer, after sampling, to be used in the short surveys for my online blogs? These are examples and I may add more questions if I feel they are needed to be covered for certain products.

• What was your favorite thing about this sample product?
• Would you recommend this product to a friend?
• What would you say are Pros of using this product?
• What would you say are Cons of using this product?
• Did someone other than myself refer you to this Avon Sample of the Month program — if so, who?

My Avon Beauty Faves List | Post Four

Hey, beauts — Happy March! Spring is truly around the corner and I cannot wait. Sure, the snow is pretty to look at but so are bright colored flowers and sunshine! In my first blog post of March, i’ll be continuing my series on My Avon Beauty Faves Roundup, with Post Four. I hope you all enjoy it! Please, feel free to comment after the posting and share with us your favorite Avon beauty products.

I’m going to start first with the lipstick. The all-new Perfectly Matte Lipstick in shade Ideal Lilac is a perfect shade for Spring. It’s bright and the matte finish is a current beauty trend. This lipstick, while being a matte finish, is not drying to the lips. It never cakes nor cracks and has an incredible lightweight feel. It is one of my favorite Avon beauty products, I highly recommend trying it! You can purchase this shade and the other 11 shades to the line at youravon.com/ssandis. This product has a regular price of $9 each tube but as of this post is on special for just $5.99 each tube! I recently blogged on this new line of lipsticks from Avon, CLICK HERE to read my review, including swatches.

Avon Dazzlers Top Coat has been around for a while but I just recently got around to trying it out. There are 5 shades included in this line of nailwear, pictured above is Disco Ball. You can wear this top coat alone or over top of polish. Dazzlers are a fun way to dress up your mani! This product is regularly priced at $6 each but be sure to check my Avon eStore to see if there’s a current special promotional offer. What I like to do with this product is create a french tip look over top of my nail polish color. Then, on my ring finger apply it all over. What looks can/will you create with this product?

I am a HUGE fan of Magix Face Perfector! Before I tried it, I honestly did not think that it was necessary to my beauty routine. I did not see the point and I did not think it would make a difference. This, however, would be one of the times that I was glad to be proven wrong! This colorless face primer gets me prepped and creates a smooth canvas for my Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation. This product blurs the look of pores and lines and the added SPF 20 gives me extra confidence that my skin will be protected. Regularly priced at $11 each at youravon.com/ssandis As of this post, you can purchase a tube of the Magix Face Perfector for the lowest price ever of just $6.99! Give it a try and add it to your online order.

Finishing off today’s post is the Avon Makeup Remover Wipes with Mineral Complex. These wipes are a lifesaver! There are 24 wipes per pack and I only need one wipe to remove a complete face makeup. One pack lasts me almost a month (I don’t wear makeup everyday). I have sensitive skin but I have had no issues with irritation from these. I don’t notice any scent to these really, I just notice that they really get the job done! One pack of 24 wipes is regularly priced at $8, but these often go on sale for only $3.99 — so, check out my Avon eStore and get the best price! I like to stock up on these at that price, just store in a cool place and they won’t dry out before you get around to using them.

That’s gonna do it for today, loves! Thanks for reading and choosing to shop Avon & mark. products online with me. Keep checking back for more product reviews, news, and freebies — all coming to the blog, soon!

THE AVON & MARK. PRODUCTS THAT I USED TODAY:

– Magix Face Perfector SPF 20. Reg. Price $11. This product is on sale currently for $6.99! I used to think that a face primer was not necessary but it totally is for those that are looking to create a clear and smooth canvas for the rest of your makeup. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Avon’s exclusive HD Finish Complex provides the “magic” in this colorless skin-perfector. This lightweight gel to powder formula keeps shine away all day, while it visibly smoothes the look of pores and fine lines. It creates a translucent finish and leaves skin feeling ultra-soft.

– mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat. Reg. Price $11. These lip butters smell yummy, with the fruit extracts infused. I am so relieved to have found a product that doesn’t have that harsh, chemical taste/smell. I was so excited when I first tried this product in shade Bare All. I had never tried a lip butter before but it’s quite nice. This product gives you the instant moisturization and relief from the dryness, without skimping on the color! I was even more excited when mark. announced that they were releasing 4 new shades, now making a total of 8 to choose from. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Sheer-to-medium coverage: mauvelous, terra hotta, bare all, baby me. Medium-to-full coverage: razzmatazz, fired up, pop tart, coraltini. • Increases lip moisture by 124% • Infused with shea, cocoa and mango seed butters plus vitamin E • Treats dry, rough lips • Delivers color with buttery shine.

Top 5 in 2015 | My Most Popular Blog Posts

Afternoon, beauts! 2015 brought a lot of firsts for me. First time starting my own business with AVON products, first time really pushing myself outside my comfort zone, first time wearing mascara (yes, I know!), and first time blogging. I've learned a lot over this year, in multiple aspects of my life. I've learned about selling AVON products and promoting my brand. I've learned how to get that cat-eye look and how to choose my perfect blush shade. I've learned to be myself and love myself for who I am. I've also learned to admire others beauty without questioning my own. 

I may not have gained as many followers as i'd hoped, but my first year of blogging has gone beyond my expectations. I've received support, kindness, and gained new friendships. I will work toward bettering myself and my blog in this new year and in turn, gain a new following while keeping the ones that I have. Which, by the way, are near and dear to my heart! I appreciate you all coming along with me on this journey. 

Without further ado, let's get to the bulk of this post, which will be my last entry for 2015. The Top 5 Blog Posts based on my reader/follower viewing stats! 

Starting with No. 5 and working our way up to No. 1 : 

5. Naked Love Collection: Insider News + Body Butter Review excerpt: The Naked Love Collection was launched around February of this year and it was meant to be a limited edition collection. The scent quickly became a favorite with its fresh blend of apricot nectar, white peach, velvet freesia, and soft musk. Seriously, this collection is happiness in a jar/bottle. 

The Body Mist and Body Wash have been unavailable for quite some time. I had expected such since I knew it was Limited Edition. It saddened me, but I still had the Hand Cream and Body Butter available at youravon.com/ssandis 

Just recently, I found out great news! The Naked Love Collection will be returning, in its entirety, and will be here to stay! Yes!! Naked Love will be a permanent addition to the mark. Bath & Body line up.

4. Bad Hair Day Saviors  excerpt: Today i'm blogging on something that I know we have all gone through. A bad hair day. Let's face it, there are days when you are feeling stunning and fierce and everything is on point and then --- there's that mop that you just cannot do anything with. There will be maybe that one strand of hair that won't go into place and then the frustration sets in. Don't let it kill your shine, ladies {and gents!!} I have a few product mentions for you that will save you from your bad hair day.

I want to start by saying that mark. Hair products are great because they are comparable to high priced salon-style products without the sticker shock. If you have not yet experienced all that mark. can do for your hair and therefore, your confidence - now is the time. You can purchase all the products mentioned in today's blog {plus more} at youravon.com/ssandis

3. How to Start Selling AVON | How Selling AVON Works excerpt: AVON provides you with all the tools and training {FREE Online Courses via AVON University} you need to be a Successful Avon Representative. In addition, your up-line {this is the person whose reference code you use online} and your district manager are there to support and help you as well. 

When I started my AVON business, I was really looking for something to do for myself. I was a Stay at Home Mom to two great kids. One of whom is in school and the other will be starting school this Fall. One of the first things I thought about when considering a journey with AVON was the discount I would get for selling, so I could get some makeup, fashion, and jewelry products that otherwise I was not purchasing. Sure enough, that is exactly how my business began with quickly transforming into wanting more. AVON has changed me for the better. I am now more focused, driven, confident, and happy. I am now proud to be a Work at Home Mom and love learning and growing with my business every single day!

2. My Makeup Mini-Haul + Product Reviews excerpt:  I recently tried out a few new products and I'm excited to blog my reviews on them!! I ordered the AVON Magix Face Perfector, AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer, mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat in Mauvelous, and the mark. Juice Gems in Juicy Fig. All of these products can be purchased at youravon.com/ssandis so be sure to check that out after reading my post. 

I'm going to start right at the beginning. I have been looking for a product to help combat the oily shine that has been attacking my face as of late -- does that sound too dramatic? No, I think it's fair to say. I've heard the rave reviews on the Magix Face Perfector ($11) and was hoping I would like it as much as others seem to. What is nice about this product is that it is a colorless face primer. There is no tint to it and it is for all skin tones. I love the added SPF 20, which I can rely on to help protect my skin from the damaging rays from the Sun. 

CLICK HERE to read the entire post which will include why I love each product.

1. My Review on the Big & False Lash Volume Mascara excerpt: Today was a great day for me --- AVON order arrival day! Another reason for me to love Friday's. This time around, I ordered a few things for myself and one of which was the all-new Big & False Lash Volume Mascara. It will make its official debut in Campaign 21 (2 weeks!) HOWEVER, you can purchase it online exclusively, during the Pre-Sale at youravon.com/ssandis This product has a regular price of $9. Check my eStore now to see if this item is on sale.

I have been waiting to try this product ever since I heard about it in the works and today was my day! When my order, and customers orders arrived, I sorted and bagged and then got to my goodies. I had seen other AVON Reps try and post their pictures and comments on the product, which only excited me more as they were phenomenal! Was all the hype worth it? I was about to find out. 

CLICK HERE to read the entire post which includes the shades available for this product as well as my review complete with before and after pictures.

And there you have it my dears! It has been an exciting year for me and I cannot wait to continue this all in the upcoming New Year!! Please +1 and share this post to your social media outlets using the share buttons below. Have a great holiday weekend and stay be(YOU)tiful xx Sylvia

Vampy Makeup Trend + Pictures/Reviews

Hey there, beauties! Starting off the new week with a fresh post and a trendy makeup look: Vampy. I had so much fun over the weekend playing with my makeup and taking pictures in preparation for this posting. I've done a few FOTD (face-of-the-day) posts in the past, but felt like it was time to do my own personal FOTD. I've been craving to go a bit bold and try a berry lip so I went through my lippy sample bullets and found a beautiful one: Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick in Radiant Raisin ($9). I love this lipstick line from AVON because it has SPF 15 in the formula, which is great for keeping lips healthy and smooth. 

Once I found that, I began setting up my space. I started with my Magix Face Perfector ($11) to get my skin prepped/primed. I added my Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation ($12) using my AVON Kabuki Brush ($6.99). After having the canvas set, I used the AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer ($8 reg.) which i've recently become a huge fan of! 

While I was trying to choose which mascara to use (I have a few different ones on hand!) I decided that I did not want to go for such a bold lash since I was about to don a bold lip. I kept it simple and chose the AVON Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara ($8). which is a fabulous yet basic mascara. 

One of my favorite eyeshadow palettes is the True Color Eyeshadow Quad ($8 reg.) I have a few of these in different shades, but the one I chose to wear today was the Chocolate Sensation quad. The soft, shimmering beige brings out my eyes when added to the inner corners, and I love the milk chocolate and truffle shades for the crease Those all have a slight shimmer/sparkle to them but number 4 on the quad, Black Brown is a matte. I've noticed that most of the TC Eyeshadow Quads come this way: Numbers 1 thru 3 - shimmery and number 4 - matte. I use the AVON Pro Eyeshadow Brush ($5.99) and AVON Pro Crease Brush ($5.99). As for the sponge applicator that came with the eyeshadow, I use that to help remove nail enamel. It works great to reaching those inner nail creases.

 I also used my favorite eyeliner, the Ultra Luxury Eye Liner in Dark Brown on the bottom and then used the Ultra Luxury Eye Liner in Eggplant up on the top to get that pop of purple going on my eyes. I love these liners because they are easy to sharpen, the product does not break off or get too soft, and when applied lasts for hours! Another plus? These liners are only $5 each!

And now for the finished look! Thoughts?

*Online Customer Reviews for the AVON Eyeshadow Primer:

"This is hands down the best eyeshadow primer I've ever used, which includes some much more expensive brands. This goes on easily and then does what it's supposed to beauitfully. Shadow and liner stay put all day with no creasing or smudging."

"This primer is my salvation for long work days. It keeps my liner and shadow on for over 12 hours without reapplying or touch ups. Goes on smoothly and on my fair skin looks like a light shadow if I don't feel like using a colored eyeshadow. Great product!"

"Used many primers and I was even a representative of another makeup company for years and this by far is the best I have ever used. Never had a problem with any AVON product. I have completely changed everything over."

If you have read my previous entry, My Mini Makeup Haul, you'll remember that I tried and reviewed two of the next primer products that I will mention: Magix Face Perfector and the AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer. Both I have found to be essential in prepping my makeup looks. You can read (or re-read) more about those products HERE.
