Perfect For Fall: Imari Elixir & Pearls

Hey, beauts. TGIF! On the blog today, i'm featuring one of my favorite AVON fragrances (it's fairly new to the Imari Family) - Imari Elixir! You may have read my post awhile back on the 30th Anniversary of the Imari fragrance. I had covered the new look to the bottles and made a welcoming nod to the Imari Elixir. In this post, i'm going to share with you all what I love about the fragrance, as well as the scented Body Lotion from the line. I'll also be sharing a few of the online reviews left from customers. All of which can be found at youravon.com/ssandis That is where you will also place your order!


As of this post, the Imari Elixir Spray has a 4.6 out of 5 stars with 16 customer reviews.
Feel the intensity of passion with tempting juicy blackberry essence, seductive rose absolute and hypnotic pure vanilla extract.

What I love about this fragrance:

  • It's unique, mysterious, and sexy.
  • I receive many compliments when i'm out and wearing this product.
  • It makes me feel powerful and gives me a sense of confidence.
  • The scent holds all day, especially when accompanied by the Body Lotion.
  • This fragrance, I feel, would be best for special occasions/professional settings. Date night? Work meeting? Don't forget your Imari Elixir!
  • It smells rich, as in you've spent over $50 for the bottle (only you haven't. Cost? $23. What's better than that? This fragrance often goes on special in addition to other select fragrances, any 2 for $22. What a steal!


Online Customer Reviews of the Imari Elixir Eau de Toilette Spray:

"The best of the best! Imari has always been my favorite of Avon and the Elixir is the absolute best! It is very seductive without being overpowering. I always get compliments (from both sexes) whenever I wear it. Imari is my 'Signature Fragrance'."

"It last the entire day & the smell is wonderful. Completely satisfied!"

"I was so delighted to receive this item. They did an excellent job with the sample in the book. This is my go to fragrance for fall. The scent is rich. You spray it on and first scent encountered are rich blackberries. It dries down to a lovely vanilla, rose after fragrance--which to me adds a seductive quality."

"So lovely. Opens with blackberry and Ylang-ylang, mellows to a musky warmth. Better than regular Imari, which I also love. Sillage is moderate, not too overpowering. Less spicy than Imari, more fruity, but think baked blackberry cobbler with cinnamon, not raw blackberries. Makes me terribly happy to wear this. Does not smell seductive, but no perfume ever does on me. It just smells comforting and delicious. Cheers me up."

"Well my goodness, this is very pretty! It reminds me of Bath and Body Works' Twilight Woods but better!!! And really the longevity is very good for an edt. You do not have to spray your whole self to get the effect of an edp. I think this could be one of Avon's absolute best yet! My daughter who is 21 loves this as well!!! Wonderful!"

"So happy this is the newest Imari scent added! I'm a perfume lover and Avon always delivers. This is not only fruity, but sexy and warm! Great for Fall. Love this new scent!!"

Make a Difference While Making an Entrance

Good morning, beauties! I am so excited that I recently received the Eau de Parfum Spray and Body Lotion from the newest Fergie fragrance: Outspoken Party! This one will truly help you make an entrance, ladies. It delivers an electrifying mix of pink peony, raspberry, and creme brulee. For a limited time only, you can get both the spray and body lotion for $25 ($46 value!) Ready for the best part? AVON will donate $5 to the AVON Breast Cancer Crusade for every bottle of Outspoken Party! by Fergie purchased through the month of October. **up to $1 million

Make a Difference. Support the Cause. Place your order at youravon.com/ssandis 

My Notes on the Outspoken Party! by Fergie (Spray & Body Lotion) :
  • I know it is said time and time again. For best results, layer your fragrance with the entire collection. I really found this to be the case with this fragrance. From my experience, the spray hits you with the notes of floral and fruity while adding the body lotion adds the note of the caramel, creme brulee.

  • I would find this fragrance to be suitable for any occasion. Whether you are going to work, the grocery store, or a Holiday party; this fragrance won't let you down. It is sure to impress and get you a wealth of compliments.

  • This is the perfect time to start some Holiday shopping! (If you haven't already) This 2-piece set would make an amazing gift and at only $25!

  • If you are looking for something that is not overpowering but will last you all day, this is it. This one is fresh, fun, and affordable.

  • This could easily become my new Signature Fragrance! This one is going to be a huge hit!

  • Remember, if you are not fully satisfied AVON has a Money Back Guarantee. I doubt you'll need to use that for these products, but just in case.. know that it is there.

  • The body lotion is creamy and smooth. It leaves my skin soft and feeling sensual. After applying all over, it didn't leave my hands feeling greasy nor sticky. Sometimes i'll have to wash my hands after applying a body lotion, but not this time.

Be sure to check out the AVON 39 and Pink Ribbon products at youravon.com/ssandis SHOP CAUSES. When you purchase these items, a portion of the net profits will be donated to the AVON Breast Cancer Crusade.

Naked Love Collection: Insider News + Body Butter Review

Hey, beauties! Happy Hump Day! Today on the blog I am going to review for you all thee product that made me a firm believer in Body Butter. It all started for me with the mark. Limited Edition Naked Love Collection

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. 

mark. Naked Love Body Butter | $12

The naked truth? This super-rich, decadent body butter melts into skin 
for the ultimate pamper session. 



What I love about this product: 
  • The scent is instant happiness. So much aroma therapy going on here. No matter what mood i'm in this always seems to boost it! 

  • This body butter is creamy and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth. I apply all-over after my shower and it instantly soaks in and leaves me feeling fresh. 

  • It's a nice sized jar for the cost. I do not feel that this product is overpriced and would actually pay whatever the cost was because this body butter is worth every single penny. 

  • My husband loves this scent on me. After I apply it, the scent fills our room and he has expressed how good it smells. 

  • A little bit goes a long way! You just need a bit on your fingertip and it spreads around smoothly. This also points back to my comment on the price. This tub will last a long time.


To purchase the mark. Naked Love Body Butter visit youravon.com/ssandis 
The mark. Naked Love Hand Cream is also available there, for $6. 
Keep your eyes peeled for the return of the entire collection COMING BACK SOON!

Use Coupon Code MARK25DEAL for 25% off your $50 online order.
You will also qualify to have your order shipped to your address for FREE!

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?


You can purchase all of these products mentioned in today's post at youravon.com/ssandis 
Your order will ship to your address and for FREE when its over $40!

Hair Products Review: 360 Nourish Moroccan Argan Oil

Hey there, beauts. I had a great morning at the kiddos soccer games and came home to relax a bit and get freshened up before my night out. Current status? Fresh and clean. For some reason more so than usual and so it inspired me to do some blogging. 

I've never been the type of girl to splurge on hair care products. I always got a bottle of the cheapest shampoo and conditioner and figured it was doing its job. Never did I think that there could actually be more beneficial products out there nor had I noticed how damaged my hair truly was. 

When I become an AVON Representative at the start of this year, I slowly began switching all my beauty products over to AVON -- trying new things and realizing that I could save even more money with my discount! Some of my first switches were what I would call AVON stigma based, the makeup. I tried a few different foundations before finally finding my match with the Magix Face Perfector and the Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation. I got myself new body washes that I loved and that worked for me and then I took notice of the Advance Techniques Hair Care Products. I was quite intrigued as to finding out if these products would fix my severely dried-out hair and split ends. Could I find a more conditioning conditioner? 

AVON has a few different products to their hair care line up. I went through each one and learned what their purpose was (other than to clean hair, of course!) and which one I thought could benefit me the most. The first one that caught my eye was the 360 Nourish Moroccan Argan Oil line. I'll be honest, I judged the product before I even read a description on it. I was drawn to it for the name and had a feeling that it would bring much health to my hair. When I began to read up on the products, I was so excited to give it a whirl. 

I purchased the Shampoo and Conditioner, which are regularly $6 each at youravon.com/ssandis They often go on sale though, so keep your eyes peeled for that! There is also a leave-in treatment to the 360 Nourish line -- but more on that, later in the post.  
As of this post, the Shampoo has a 4.6 out of 5 star rating with 68 online customer reviews.
As of this post, the Conditioner has a 4.2 out of 5 star rating with 50 online customer reviews.

The scent of these products I like to describe it as "professional". Its the scent I smell when I go into a hair salon and it's quite pleasant. It makes me feel like i'm getting pampered. (Which, I totally am!) Honest to blog (hehe), after the first use of the Shampoo and Conditioner, I noticed a HUGE difference in my hair! My hair was softer, the frizz was downsized noticeably, and there was a nice shine. The Conditioner is incredibly creamy and soothing to the scalp. I massage it in and I know its such a treat to my locks. 

These products were an instant hit with me and now it's all I want to use. My husband uses the products as well. One time when at the hair salon to get his haircut he received a compliment from his hair stylist. She said: "Your hair is so soft! What shampoo are you using?" He told her the name and that it was from AVON and she was surprised. "Oh, wow! I would have thought it was some really expensive brand!" Well, there ya go! These products will give you professional looking and feeling results without the heavy price tag. 

Now, i'd like to get back to the Advance Techniques 360 Nourish Moroccan Argan Oil Leave-In Treatment. I just recently purchased a bottle for my husband since he wanted to try something to condition the manly beard he is working on growing. I figured with the Vitamin E and Vitamin B5, it could only help with the health and overall look of his hair. In the product description, I also found that the product would leave hair with: renewed strength, instant shine, smooth silkiness, and weightless movement. He was looking for something to soften and condition his beard so I thought... why not try this out. It could be something really beneficial for him, since we had already found the Shampoo and Conditioner to be such. 

The Leave-In Treatment is regularly priced at $10. It does go on sale, so again - check for that! Also, if it is not currently on sale at youravon.com/ssandis don't forget that you can go back two campaigns and get the absolute best deal possible. Need to know how to do that? CLICK HERE
As of this post, this product has a 4.7 out of 5 star rating with 86 online customer reviews.

My husband shared with me that he immediately liked the product. It is non-greasy, non-sticky, and he likes how it makes his facial hair feel. He also likes that all he has to do is pump the product into his palms and work it in. There is no rinsing and no real fuss to it! He has been using the product for a little over one month and his beard is looking pretty darn fabulous. Sorry, rugged and manly *insert wink face here*

I finally used the product myself, today, after my shower. My hair was damp which is recommended in the directions of use. The application is easy and I liked what seemed to be a coconut scent to the product. I then styled my hair as usual, blow drying it and then took the flat iron to it. Even with all of that heat styling, my hair is still silky and soft! I think i'm going to like this addition to my beauty routine and now I can say that i'm fully invested in the Advance Techniques 360 Nourish Moroccan Argan Oil Hair Care Line!! **FYI The Leave-In Treatment bottle is glass - so, just be cautious that it doesn't break. I only mention this because I had assumed it would be a plastic bottle and almost had a mishap!

Household Beauty (Tips & Tricks)

TGIF, beauties!! On the blog today are household items that double as beauty helpers. I did some research online and found some of the ones that I might not actually mind trying. I learned a lot about these do-it-yourself beauty tips - and I hope you'll enjoy today's entry! 



- Ice Cube Trays | Use an ice cube tray to custom blend your own lip colors or foundation using two or more shades. Simply rinse and pop it in the dishwasher afterwards.

- Rubber Bands | Wrap rubber bands around the cap of nail polish bottles and other hard-to-open tops for better grip.

- Refrigerator | Use your fridge to store eye cream, toners, and astringent. The cooling effect de-puffs eyes and skin.

- Coffee Filters | Ditch the pricey oil-blotting papers and use these instead—they work just as well.

- Band Aids | Use a classic Band-Aid to add some sweet polka dots to your manicure! (Most are perforated with tiny dots.)

- Tin Foil | Did you know that tin foil can be used to create curly hair when coupled with a flatiron? Lean how HERE

- Vaseline | Who knew dabbing a touch of Vaseline wherever you spray perfume makes your scent last longer. Why? Because the oils found in petroleum jelly “holds on” to scents and prevents evaporation.

- Toothpicks | Standard toothpicks are a foolproof way to spot-fix any nail polish mistakes. You can also use ’em to crate basic nail designs like shapes or letters.

- A Toothbrush | Spritzing hairspray on a toothbrush can help tame flyaways and style bangs as well as amping up your brow game.

- Dryer Sheets | Use these to effortlessly remove static from your hair (Bonus Tip: A damp used dryer sheet can remove soap and shampoo build-up in your tub, too!)

Which one(s) listed will you try to incorporate into your beauty routine? What are some other household items/DIY beauty uses that you know of that aren't listed here? Comment below!! Have a great weekend!
