Advance boost technology works to hydrate your skin, smooth visible roughness and wrinkles, and return firmness to your face.

My Avon Beauty Faves List | Post Two

Yesterday I started a brand new series on the blog, My Avon Beauty Faves Roundup! I’m excited to continue with the line of postings with today’s features. After reading the post, comment below if I’ve mentioned some of your favorite Avon products! If you have faves that I haven’t featured, share those as well. I love to continue the beauty chat at the end of my posts.
Let’s start off with a new favorite fragrance of mine: Ultra Sexy Pink Eau de Toilette SprayThe scent is sweet and girly. When I smell this fragrance, it creates nostalgia for me and its reminiscent of another fragrance, that is considerably more expensive than this one. It is not overpowering, yet has some real staying power. I also like the matching scented Illuminating Moisturizer that adds just a hint of shimmer to my skin. Fragranced with flirty raspberry, blushing peony, and mingled with an adoring sexy musk — the Ultra Sexy Pink Eau de Toilette Spray is regularly priced at $23. As of this blog posting, it is on sale for only $14.99! Visit my Avon eStore to order a bottle today!
My next Avon Beauty Favorite that i’m featuring in this entry, is the Foot Works Beautiful Overnight Lavender CreamThis stuff smells amazing — so calming, and serene. The texture is non-sticky and it simply moisturizes my feet while relaxing me in the evening when I apply it. Lavender is typically known for its calming effects so it is no wonder why this product puts me at such ease. When I apply this Foot Works Beautiful Overnight Lavender Cream, I put socks on for a bit to fully seep in. I do not think that is a requirement but it is something that I do, so i’m mentioning it. This truly softens the skin and is pure beauty sleep for feet! This product is regularly priced at $5.50 a tube, but as of this post you can purchase a tube for just $2.29. Also, the newest Foot Works product is the Lavender 3-in-1 Pampering Oil. The newest addition to the Beautiful Lavender Foot Works Family, this product treats rough, dry feet and makes cuticles feel silky-smooth and rejuvenated. The Pampering Oil can also be used as a foot-massage oil. I have yet to try it but I have heard rave reviews, so I recommend giving that a try also! (I know I will be!) Place an order for these products and more, HERE.
Avon’s Number One Selling Liner is Glimmersticks, and I’ve recently become obsessed.Glimmersticks Original Eye Liner is on my list of Avon Beauty Faves because it is a quality product for a fraction of other makeup brands prices. It really lasts through all-day, even when i’m busy with a non-stop kind of day. There’s no need for a sharpener with this liner, it is retractable and self-sharpening! It defines my eyes with perfect precision and I never want to go without it again. Glimmersticks Liners are regularly priced at $7 each. As of this blog post, there is a special offer of: Build the Look Any 3 for $8.99 (Save up to $12!). You can mix or match any of the Glimmersticks products (Eyes, Lips, & Brows) as well as other Avon makeup products such as Ultra Glazewear Lipgloss, Extra Lasting Eyeshadow Inks, and Nailwear Pro+ Nail Enamel. To view everything that is included in this special promotional offer from Avon, CLICK HERE.
Last but not least for today, the On Duty Unscented Bonus-Size Roll On Antiperspirant DeodorantThis product may not seem like a big deal to mention but I feel like its the little things in life, right? I never was a fan of liquid roll-on’s as my choice of deodorant. I just had to try out Avon’s considering the inexpensive cost. It is regularly only $1.99 each but often goes on sale — which, as of this post, there’s a special offer of BOGO for.99! It is a great time to stock up on this product which provides 48-hour odor protection and 24-hour wetness protection. I love that this product is unscented. Since there is no scent it does not interfere or mix in with the fragrance I choose to spray on for the day! BENEFITS • Unscented deodorant for people with sensitive skin • Non-stinging • Non-sticky • Non-whitening.
That’s it for today! Did you enjoy today’s post? Comment below — remember, please feel free to share your Avon favorites below in the comments.

My Avon Beauty Faves List | Post One

Hey, loves! I’ve decided to take on a new set of posts with each one featuring a few products from Avon that i’m currently obsessing over. Over the next week or so, i’ll put up a new post and share all of the reasons that I love each product. I’ll also be listing current prices and special offers where applicable. I’m not certain on how many parts to this new line of postings there will be, but let’s start off with Post One and go from there!
Let’s begin with the first product that kicks off my morning beauty routine, Anew Vitale Gel Cleanser. This product is a must-have for me, I don’t think i’ll ever stop obsessing! The formula is a lightweight gel that is easy to apply and a little bit goes a long way. (Only dab a pea size amount onto your fingertip. Using too much product could cause your skin to dry out and no one wants that!) The Anew Vitale Gel Cleanser smells amazing — such a fresh and clean scent that wakes me up in the morning yet calms and soothes me as I use it at nighttime. The Anew Vitale Skincare lineup works toward those seeking overall radiance and skin tone evenness. It also works to minimize pores (which is the main reason I use Vitale!) and in just 3 days you can see results! Remember, to get the full effect from any product that you decide to use, you must keep the routine going or else it’s just not going to work. It only takes 30 seconds to scrub on your face and then another few seconds to rinse clean. So, we are talking about taking 3 minutes tops out of your day to get this done! Other things that I love about the Anew Vitale Gel Cleanser are: It is oil-free. It’s gentle enough to use around my eyes, it does not burn or sting. After using, my skin feels incredibly clean, soft, and fresh! This product is regularly priced at $10 but as of this posting there’s a special offer of BOGO for .99! You can mix or match products in this promotion, to view everything included in this offer visit my Avon eStore HERE.
Next up on my Avon Beauty Faves Roundup List is the Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral MaskOh my goodness… it really works! I use this product twice per week. What I love about this mineral mask is that not only does it work to remove pore-clogging oils in the skin but it doubles as an acne treatment. When applying, you’ll feel a cooling sensation and it goes on black. As it dries (and does its job!) it turns grey. So, there is no guess work — you can see and feel this product working. I also notice a tightness to my face as it dries but it brings no discomfort really. My skin is quite sensitive and I have yet to have an issue with this product irritating my skin. I usually leave this product on for around 12-15 minutes. My kids get a real big kick out of me when I have this mineral mask on, they find it hilarious! I just find it to be another tool to my beauty and skincare routine. The Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask is regularly priced at $6.99 but as of this post, it is on sale for just $4.99 — order today!
The next product that has my heart is a Top Rated Avon Customer Favorite and it’s really no wonder why! The Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion is what I like to call Magic in a Bottle. This stuff is truly amazing. Squeeze out a dab onto your fingertip, gently rub it on and around your eyes, wipe away with a damp cloth, and voila — all clean! I love the consistency of this product, it is not too thin nor too thick. It really does moisturize my skin with no eye irritation. When I first used this product, I used more at one time than I needed to and it was a “gloppy mess”. The product had really gotten into my eye but easily rinsed out with water. I can laugh about it now, that’s for sure! Avon’s Number 1 Selling Makeup Remover is usually priced at $4 a bottle. Quite often, however, it goes on sale for ..99-$1.25 a bottle. Check out my Avon eStore to see if it’s currently under a special promotion.
My last favorite Avon product that i’ll be featuring in today’s blog post, is the Clearskin Blemish Clearing Overnight Treatment. This product came out around August of last year and i’ve been using it since its debut! You can use this product as a spot treatment, but I just use it all-over as a mask. The product is great because it works fast, does not burn or sting, goes on smoothly, and has a pleasant menthol/cooling scent. A small amount goes far so that’s another plus. I do notice that after applying this product my face appears to be greasy/oily. This does not seem to be an issue though as I apply right before bed. When I wake up in the morning, I simply wash my face with my Anew Vitale Gel Cleaner and i’m good to go! The Clearskin Overnight Blemish Clearing Overnight Treatment is regularly priced at $6.49. As of this post, however, you can snag a tube for only $4.99! Contains the maximum concentration of Salicylic Acid (over the counter level 2%), yet is mild and gentle. visibly improves redness and helps prevent future acne fro forming. Suitable for daily nighttime use. Allergy and dermatologist tested. In 2 weeks helps fade the look of acne marks and acne redness.

Product Spotlight: Anew Vitale Day Lotion SPF 25

Good morning, beauties! I'd like to take some time out in today's blog post to talk about the importance of skincare. If you do not yet have a skincare regimen, you should really start looking into the many options that AVON has. Skin is your body's largest organ. It serves as a protective barrier between your insides and the rest of the world, helps regulate body temperature and acts as a filter. Skin exists in a constant state of growth, with old cells dying as new cells are forming. It's affected by every aspect of your life, from what you eat to where you live. Healthy skin is better able to fight signs of aging, heals much faster and staves off potential disease better than unhealthy skin.

Let's take a look at just one of the options from AVON Anew Skincare. The Anew Vitale Skincare line is a great choice for those just starting out and looking to get a jumpstart on their skin health/appearance. Anew Vitale powered by the Vita Tone Complex. The Vitale Day Lotion SPF 25 is suitable for all skin tones. When used regularly, skin looks more even-toned and vibrant, with poreless perfection and a youthful glow. Lightweight oil-free lotion, 1.7 fl. oz. In Just 3 days pores look smaller and skin looks naturally radiant. To Use: In the morning, massage gently over cleansed face and neck.

Anew Vitale Day Lotion SPF 25 is regularly priced at $28.
Check my AVON eStore to see if this product is currently on sale/special promotional offer.
As of this posting, this product has a 4.7 out of 5 star review with 26 online customer reviews.

PROS OF THE ANEW VITALE DAY LOTION SPF 25:
(based on online customer feedback)
- Lightweight
- Moisturizes 
- Non-greasy
- Softens skin
- Smells great 
- Evens out skin-tone
- Healthy glow
- Soothes skin
- Great for those with sensitive skin

Online Customer Comments about Anew Vitale Day Lotion SPF 25:
"This is the best moisturizer I have found and it does exactly what it says it does. I'm 37, and I had stopped leaving the house without at least a BB cream a couple years ago, but I do with just this! It evens out my skin and doesn't stay oily. I will use this year-round. I only need to use a tiny bit at a time."

"This product does everything it says! I swear my skin is glowing and my pores are shrinking. I could not be more pleased with this product!"

"I waited to write a review until I had been using it long enough to see the results. I was excited to try it because every skin product I used to even out my blotchy skin or reduce the size of my large pores never worked. I am so happy with this lotion in every way! My skin is radiant, my pores are tightened and my skin is amazingly more even toned. I don't even have to wear cover up or foundation! The other thing is that whenever I buy a 1.7 oz. jar of any face cream, I go through it in two weeks. I still have half the bottle left! You do not need a lot because of the excellent ability of the lotion to smooth evenly over your face. I feel I am on my way to porcelain skin! My skin definitely looks younger and vibrant. Thank you Avon!"

When using this product, for best results use the complete lineup from the Anew Vitale Skincare Collection. Your skincare regimen should consist of a cleanser, then moisturizer, then eye treatment. For additional results, consider adding an Anew Clinical Skincare item to your beauty routine. My recommendation? Either the Anew Power Serum or the Anew Clinical Absolute Even Multi-tone Skin Corrector. 

Based on what you are looking for out of your skincare regimen will help determine which line of products you want to use. Consistency is key! You have to keep up with your skincare routine otherwise these products won't work. When you start to see results, keep on going for them to continue and improve.

My Review on the AVON Care Silicone Glove Hand Cream

Hey there, beauties! Happy Hump Day!! Today on the blog is my review on my latest favorite hand cream: AVON Care Silicone Glove Protective Hand Cream. This hand cream has been a favorite of AVON Customers for years but I just recently discovered it after wondering what all the buzz was about! This is a good choice of hand cream for the upcoming Winter weather. A skin-softening formula that helps protect against dryness. Continual and lasting gel protection against skin irritants. Locks in moisture, blocks out dryness. TO USE: Apply liberally to dry hands.


The AVON Care Silicone Glove Protective Hand Cream is currently available at youravon.com/ssandis in the Original Full Size tube, Holiday Mini featuring a Santa image, and the Distroller Mini featuring the design from Mexican artist Amparin. She is acclaimed for her bold graphic style with friendly faces and fun use of Spanglish. This design was developed exclusively just for AVON in celebration of the Nativity.

As of this post the Original Full Size Tube of AVON Care Silicone Glove Protective Hand Cream has a 4.7 out of 5 star rating with 230 online Customer reviews. 92% of respondents would recommend this product to a friend. (Note: The Silicone Glove seasonal minis are the same product, just in a smaller tube with a fancy label)

Product Pros:
Absorbs Quickly
Goes on Smoothly
Not Greasy
Moisturizes Well
Long lasting
Softens Skin
Pleasant Smell

Product Best Uses:
Winter Dryness
Dry/chapped Skin
Deep Moisturization
Bedtime
After Shower/Bath
Eczema 

Why I Love This Product: 
This product smells so good, a bit reminiscent of baby powder. Unlike some hand creams out there that leave my hands feeling sticky and greasy, the Silicone Glove Hand Cream leaves my hands with a light, refreshing powdery feeling. The powdery feeling is not to be confused with a dry feeling. Its more along the lines of powdery soft. 

As the dish washer of my house, my hands are thankful for this cream as it treats the rough, dry patches. It also gets rid of the tight feeling that comes from the dryness of the cold weather and hand washing. 

All of my life my cuticles have peeled badly and so far it looks like this cream is going to help out tremendously with that! It does not burn any fresh cuticle tears that I have. 

I've noticed in the short time of using this product that I only have to apply once (maybe twice because I enjoy the smell!) daily. It really does last throughout all of the tasks I have to taken on in my day to day life. 
The regular price on the Full Size tube of AVON Care Silicone Glove Protective Hand Cream is $5. It goes on sale often and is currently part of a Daily Skin Essentials Special Offer of 2 for $5! Now would be an opportune time to stock up on some tubes. The Seasonal Mini versions of the Silicone Glove Protective Hand Cream are .99 each! These all make great stocking stuffers as well as additions to any gift set/basket that you may be making during the Holiday season.

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! 
 I hope you will give it a try, i'm sure you'll love it as much as I do -- and if not, there's always AVON's Money Back Guarantee! So, once again there's nothing to lose and so much to gain when you shop online at youravon.com/ssandis Remember, your order ships to your address and for FREE when it's over $40.

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!

"I have been using this eyeliner for years now and it's by far the best on the market."

"Glimmersticks eye liner is the best! I've used this product for years and it doesn't smudge. I put it in the fridge to keep it from getting too soft and breaking off, I live in AZ so keeping it in a drawer can make it soft. You will never buy anything else!"

"This eyeliner is wonderful. I am allergic to most everything and this works great for me."

"This is the best eyeliner I've ever used. I have tried so many and they always burn my eyes and never last through the entire day. This eyeliner goes on so easy and lasts."

"This goes on really smooth! Love the convenience of turning the top and more comes out without a sharpener. It has a cool feel to it when gliding on. I like the thin tip, line doesn't look thick. Easy to fix any crooked spots of the line. Lasts all day. Easy to remove with avon mineral wipes at the end of the day."

BLOG RE-BRAND: A Work In Progress

Good morning, beauties! I've been playing around with the idea on re-branding my beauty blog... with a new look, a new feel, and a new name. As you can see from my updated header, I am currently working on doing just that. 
Confused about the eight minute makeup name and why I would choose that? Well, it's not that complicated in reality. It takes me eight minutes to do my makeup. Always. I don't normally have the time to spend on getting glam'd up - and I don't think I should have to! 

I am incredibly busy during my day to day. I have two kids - both in school and in sports/activities afterwards. I have to cook dinner, help with homework assignments and various science fair projects. There's cleaning and laundry that need done. Oh yes, and the pup needs to go out for a walk. I have my AVON business that I work at with immense passion so that I can achieve my goals and dreams. All the while, I want to look fabulous. I want to feel fabulous. Since I don't have a lot of time to achieve that, I have perfected my beauty routine to a mere eight minutes. 

I am moving in a new direction with my blogging. While you will still see AVON product reviews and sales/special offers, I will be adding more entries on trends today in beauty, fashion, etc. I will also be adding more lifestyle posts to give more of a variety to my readers. My blog will be a reflection of myself: interested in a little bit of everything.

Power Up Your Beauty Routine

Hey there, beauties! Campaign 20 has officially hit my AVON eStore. In this entry, I want you all to see the how certain products once "powered up" can give you a new sense of empowerment in yourself. Once you are more empowered, you can in turn empower others.  And that is a beautiful thing.

The Anew Power Serum has made its official launch to AVON, although you may have noticed that you have been able to purchase it, online exclusively, during the Pre-Sale! The price on it is still at a special of $29.99 and you can read all about this new skincare product HERE.

Get ready to power up those lashes with the Mega Effects Mascara, on sale at the fabulously low price of $7.99 (Reg. $10) Learn how you can use the Mega Effects product line to master that oh-so-trendy and dramatic cat eye. CLICK HERE to read the how-to.


Power up your lippy look by daring to be bold and trying a new Ultra Color Bold Lipstick shade. My favorite is Pink Punch! It is such a fun shade and wearing it makes me feel fierce and fearless! The UC Lipstick line is on sale in Campaign 20 for $5.99 each. (Reg. $8 each)

I just LOVE my AVON makeup!!

Part of your beauty routine includes that quick spritz of your signature fragrance. Rare Amethyst is a relatively new parfum spray to AVON and it features notes of plum, violet, and rich sandalwood. It is now ON SALE for just $12.99 for the 1.7 fl. oz. bottle. (Reg. $23) Power up your beauty with this glamorous and captivating scent. 
Its time to power up that wardrobe of yours and get your Fall looks ready! The all-new Leopard Print Button-Front Tunic is sophisticated enough for work yet sexy for after dark. Features ruched sleeves and a flattering high-low hemline. Starting at $19.99! Pair this tunic with the all-new Cushion Walk Wrap-Around Ankle Bootie. Chunky 2 1/2 inch heel. Special pricing of $39.99 (Will be $44.99) 

In closing: Let's empower women together! When you shop the AVON Foundation's Empowerment Collection, you are supporting the cause to bring awareness to Domestic Violence. (A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the cause.) In 2004, the Avon Foundation for Women launched Speak Out Against Domestic Violence, an initiative to build awareness, educate, and improve prevention and direct service programs. 

Through the end of 2014, in the U.S. alone, we have contributed nearly $40 million for the domestic violence cause. AVON's Speak Out Against Domestic Violence programs work to engage people to talk about their experiences and so victims know that they are not alone!
