Online Customer Comments about Stainless Steel Pineapple Corer:

“This makes pineapple completely enjoyable! I’ve tried other pineapple peelers (Pampered Chef) and they are so hard to use that I avoid buying pineapple. This corer/peeler works so well, I’m buying pineapple all the time now!”

“This pineapple corer worked great, just as described. I absolutely love it!”

“Cores and slices pineapple with minimal effort. My only complaint is not buying one sooner!!”

“Worked like a charm even with my arthritis!!”

“The easiest way to core & peel your pineapple. Wish I would of had this year’s ago! So simple to use! Anyone could peel & core a pineapple with this, even a child or elderly person. I want to buy pineapples just to be able to use this, it is actually fun to use.”

“This product was easy to use. I was afraid I wouldn’t be strong enough to use it appropriately. I was wrong! Just cut the top off a pineapple and place it over the core. It cut through the ripe pineapple like butter. My pineapple chunks/slices are beautiful and uniform. I can’t believe I did it! I bought 2 more for gifts.”

“I have always loved fresh pineapple, but usually avoided buying them. The mess and hassle of cutting them up was not worth it to me. Then I purchased this great product! I love it, it’s so easy to use and clean up is a snap! Makes it possible to eat fresh fruit, without a lot of time and mess! Thank you Avon!”

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!

Which of these shades grabs your interest most?

Product Spotlight: Naturals for Kids

Hey there, beauts. I know some of my readers have children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews and so -- I thought it was a great opportunity to blog about the line of products that AVON offers for Kids! 

AVON Naturals for Kids is a great line of products that include:

• Hair Detangling Spray 
• Super Stylin' Hair Gel 
• 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner 
• Bath Finger Paints 
• 2-in-1 Body Wash & Bubble Bath
• Goodnight Lavender Body Lotion

These products come in all sorts of different fun and fruity scents: Amazing Apple, Wacky Watermelon, Bursting Berry, Outgoing Orange, Groovy Grape.

My daughter loves when I use the Amazing Apple Hair Detangling Spray. It has a no-tear formula, which of course is great for kids. This spray works great in getting out any tangles and knots. My daughter wakes up every morning with crazy hair and this quickly tames things down. {Save 30% | only $3.49 each. Reg. $5 each} Hypoallergenic. 8.4 fl. oz.

My son gets a big kick out of having his own hair gel that he doesn't have to share with Dad. Of course, the first time I purchased the Amazing Apple Super Stylin' Gel, my husband ended up using quite a bit of the tube and said it worked great! So, as long as you like the scent of apples, this gel works for grown-ups, too. ;) I'd also like to mention that I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the tube. It is quite large, for the price. Even at it's regular pricing of $5, it is well worth it. This gel does not leave hair feeling "crunchy" or stiff. It holds pretty well considering how active my son is.{Save 30% | only $3.49 each.} Gentle, hypoallergenic formula. 8.4 fl. oz.

The last product that has the Amazing Apple scent, is the Amazing Apple Shampoo & Conditioner. This is also hypoallergenic and is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested. It is tear-free - again, great for kids especially when they want to "fight" ya on getting their hair washed; we've all been there! This 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner always leaves my kids hair feeling soft, clean, and the scent is pretty amazing. {Save 30% | only $3.49 each. Reg. $5 each.} 8.4 fl. oz. You can also purchase the 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner in the Wacky Watermelon scent. Same product results, just a different scent. 

The most fun product that AVON has in the Naturals Kids line is OF COURSE, the Bath Finger Paints! Now, I know that parents are thinking: "No way! Too messy! Too much of a hassle! It will stain!" Did you have any of those thoughts? I'm being honest, I DID. I knew my kids would have a blast with it, but I really did not want to deal with it. Then, I decided to read up on the customer reviews for the product, {all of which can be found on youravon.com/ssandis} and I asked around to my fellow AVON Representatives to get a feel for what I would be getting myself into. I couldn't find a terribly bad review from anyone. I did get tons of positive reviews stating how gentle it is, not irritating to the skin - and assurance that it does not stain and does wipe clean very easily. So, I purchased one of the Wacky Watermelon Bath Finger Paints and one of the Bursting Berry Finger Paints and let my kids have at it! FYI: The Bursting Berry scent is divine. Sounds odd to say that but it smells REALLY good!! I can report that during and after bath time, these finger paints.. aka colored soap - rinse clean very nicely. They DO NOT stain! My daughter has super sensitive skin and this soap did not bother her and she went crazy with it. Regular Price $5 each | Currently On Sale for ONLY $1.99 each! Dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested. Hypoallergenic. Get some for your kids, they will love it and you will love how happy and joyful they are. Its the little things in life, right? 

The last few products that I want to go over are the Goodnight Lavender Body Lotion & the Goodnight Lavender Body Wash & Bubble Bath. 

Regular Price $5 each. On Sale now only $3.49 each.

Scented with a calming lavender fragrance. Gentle formula - Hypoallergenic. Dermatologist tested. Tear-free(Body Wash & Bubble Bath). These lavender scents are very soothing. These are two favorites in our household and i'm sure you and your little ones will love them, too!!

That's gonna do it for today's entry. Be sure to log on to youravon.com/ssandis and check out the entire AVON Naturals for Kids Collection! Which one(s) are your little ones favorite scent(s)?
