THE AVON & MARK. PRODUCTS THAT I USED TODAY:

– Magix Face Perfector SPF 20. Reg. Price $11.

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.

Streak-free mascara that will weather the weepiest of movies. Washes away with soap and water.

– 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.

FOTD No. 4: Love it or Leave it?

Good morning, beauties! I have another AVON makeup FOTD for you all today. As always, I will list all the products used for the look as well as prices, including any sales or special offers where applicable. I hope you all enjoy this one!

Here's the FOTD {Face of the Day}

To get this look use: 

Big & Daring Volume Mascara - $9

True Color Eyeshadow Quad in Grin and Bare It - Any 2 for $9.99 (Reg. $8 each)

Ultra Color Lipstick in Silky Peach - Any 2 for $10.99 (Reg. $8 each)

Be Blushed Cheek Color in Blushing Nude - $8

Ideal Flawless BB Beauty Balm Cream - $10

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! AVON's Ideal Flawless BB Cream was the first BB Cream that I had ever used and fell in love with it after the first use. I love all the benefits it leaves me skin with, even after I remove it. My skin used to be blotchy and overall "angry" looking -- Ha! This product has 10 benefits, and I have witnessed them all during my use:

- infused with Vitamin E 

- infused with minerals and antioxidants 

- hydrates skin 

- evens skin tone 

- visibly minimizes redness 

- conceals flaws 

- lightweight feel 

- smooths skin 

- SPF 15 protection 

- skin looks better even after removing

Beauty Tip: Remember when applying, a little bit goes a long way -- if you apply too much you will get a shiny, undesirable look -- so just don't over do it and you'll get a flawless look!!

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!!

FOTD No. 2: Love it or Leave it?

Good morning, beauties & Happy Monday!! We are going to start out the week with another AVON Makeup FOTD. I will show you the look, tell you the products used, and list the product prices. Then, you comment below whether you love the look or not! 

Here's today's FOTD {Face Of The Day}

To get this look use: 

SuperExtend Winged Out Mascara $8

SuperShock Gel Eyeliner in Intense Brown $8

True Color Eyeshadow Quad in Mocha Latte $8

Ultra Color Lipsick in Matte Berry $8

Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss in Apple Cinnamon $6

What I love about this look is that it is neutral {great for any skin tone} and the pop of color on the lips gives it that little something extra. When it comes to the lips with this FOTD, if you don't want the shine just skip the Glazewear and rock a matte finished lip. 

Don't forget to shop the AVON Pro Makeup Brushes at youravon.com/ssandis Until I use them, I had no idea what a difference they really make in the finished look. Much more desirable than using the sponge applicators that come with. What to do with those? Keep them {don't waste anything - there is always a purpose to be found!} and use them when removing your nail enamel. The small, tipped end will aid you in getting into the cuticles and removing that final stubborn polish. 

I can't wait to read your thoughts on today's FOTD. Please comment below and get the conversation started! Also, sharing this post to your social media sites is always much appreciated.

FOTD: Love it or Leave it?

Good morning, beauties! I thought i'd blog this morning on an AVON Makeup look and then open it up to discussion on whether you would recreate said look or not. I will also be including regular product prices and will included any current sales if applicable.

Here's the FOTD {Face Of The Day}

To get this look use: 
Big & Daring Volume Mascara $9
SuperShock Gel Eyeliner in Cobalt $8
True Color Eyeshadow Quad in Glow Teal $4.99 NOW (Reg. $8)
Be Blushed Cheek Color in Powder Pink $4.99 NOW (Reg. $8)
Ultra Color Lipstick in Twinkle Pink $8

So, what do we think all? I personally LOVE this look. Its Summer, you should be having some serious fun with your makeup looks and the bold blue really brightens the eyes! I have the Glow Teal eyeshadow quad and the colors are vibrant and very easy to apply. The numbered color slots make it easy to know where and when to place which shade {on the back there is a pictured how-to which again, is great for those wanting a guide} Don't be afraid though to think outside the box and try different looks.

One of my favorite mascaras is featured in this FOTD - Big & Daring. I use the Blackest Black shade and I tell you what, prior to this find I had not liked to wear mascara at all. Any other brands I had tried left me dissatisfied with clumped and lackluster lashes. Not this one! It is now available in Waterproof, if that is your thing. The pigments in all these products are on point. If you have not tried them -- do so now at youravon.com/ssandis 

I would love to see some comments posted below whether you are for this FOTD or not! Love it or Leave it below, beauts. Thanks and also please share this post to your fav Social Media sites!! Much appreciated.
