Avon's Anew Clean Skincare Products

Coming to Avon Campaign 15 2016, beginning 6/24/16 — A full range of cleansers with something for everyone. My Avon Business is now your one-stop shop for all of your skincare needs. Calling all beauty enthusiasts: These cleansers are perfect for those who follow beauty trends and are up on the latest in skincare.

Anew Clean Cleaners vary by form, so picking the right cleanser is easy:
— Our Gel, Foam, and Cream forms address the needs of specific skin types (Dry, Normal, Combination, or Oily).
— The Scrub, Wipes, and No-Rinse forms are for all skin types and offer additional benefits (Hydration, Makeup Removal, or Exfoliation).

Avon also offers the latest innovations: like a vibrating Cleansing Brush, the moisturizing No-Rinse Micellar Cleansing Water (hot product alert!), and a Conditioning Toner, all of which can be applied after any Anew Clean Cleanser.

Did you know? All of Avon’s cleansers are powerful and gentle — they don’t contain soap or alcohol that can dry out skin! (Except the Illuminating Rich Foam Cleanser)

4. Eye. AM/PM: Use your Anew eye product.

SKINCARE Q & A:

Q: Why shouldn’t I wash my face with bar soap?
A: Bar soaps can have a drying effect and can strip away the natural oils that skin needs. Unlike most bar soaps, our gentle cleansers are formulated to deal with specific skin types and needs.

Q: How do I determine my skin type?
A: — If you have large pores all over your face (pore size is also an indication of oil production), notice skin getting shiny throughout the day or if oil visibly appears on a tissue when blotting, you are considered to have an Oily/Combination Skin Type.
— If your pores are larger primarily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and visible oil appears only in those areas throughout the day, you are considered to have a Normal/Combination Skin Type.
— If your skin almost always feels tight and looks rough, you are considered to have a Dry Skin Type.

Q: Why should I use the Anew Clean Cleansing Brush?
A: The Cleansing Brush enhances your Anew Clean Cleanser and it is gentle and suitable for those with sensitive skin. Plus, it cleanses better than your hands alone!

Q: What is Micellar Water?
A: Everyone is talking about this no-water wonder! Micellar Water contains micelle molecules that act like magnets, attracting and dissolving dirt, oil, makeup, and other impurities. It leaves skin feeling nourished and hydrated, and since no water is needed, it is great for on-the-go!

Q: Can I use a Scrub daily?
A: Our scrub is formulated with Palm Seed Powder and Jojoba Wax Beads to provide gentle exfoliation that is fine for everyday use (AM/PM). Gentle exfoliation improves skin’s texture and accelerate skin renewal.

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!

"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."

Quick Beauty Tips for the Girl who is Short on Time

Hey there, beauties! There are "a zillion" beauty tips online and some of them take up more of your time than others. Here are just a few of the ones I found that are sure to help out when you are short on time.

Prime Your Pucker. Use a bit of foundation on your lips before applying your lipstick. It will help the color stay all day. I recommend the Smooth Minerals line or the BB Cream.

Perfect Peepers. A Q-tip dipped in eye cream can easily clean up any mistakes or smudges from your eye makeup application. For radiant, well-rested looking eyes, use Anew Vitale Eye Gel Cream.

Lash Blast. Heat your eyelash curler with your blow dryer for a few seconds (don't overdo it!) before you use it. It will help lock in the curl. Add an Avon Eyelash Curler to your online order. It's only $3.99!

Reduce Zit Redness. A dab of Visine will help take the red out of a pimple.

Healthy Looking Skin and Hair. Baby oil is great to add to your daily moisturizing routine for a bit of extra sheen. In a pinch, a pea-sized amount can act as a shine hair serum before dashing out the door. Be sure to try the AVON Classic, Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil It does wonders for your skin!

Clean Up. If your 12-hour lip stain isn't coming off with soap and water, a bit of makeup remover will do the trick. I highly recommend using both the Eye Makeup Remover Lotion and the Makeup Remover Wipes when its time to clean off the beauty products.

Use Gloss to Glow. Celebrity makeup artist Gina Brooke says, "Take a lip gloss in a sheer nude color and add it to the apples of your cheeks. It will instantly illuminate your skin and create the illusion of a healthy glow where you need it most."

For Bushy Brows. Use a fresh toothbrush and a spritz of hairspray to tame unruly eyebrows.

Dry in a Flash. The quickest way to dry hair after you shower is to first soak up excess water with a towel. Then, blow dry starting with the hair underneath and work your way to the outer layers.

Sleep Your Way to Frizz-Free Hair. Use a satin pillowcase so your hair doesn't turn into a beehive overnight. Satin helps keep strands smooth while you sleep.

Top Rated: Makeup Removers

Hey there, beauties! Good afternoon to you all - HAPPY MONDAY! Get ready for another passionate post from myself on more AVON products that I adore. In today's entry, i'll be giving you my review (as well as others found online at youravon.com/ssandis) on these two top rated makeup remover products! 

So, here we go!!!

AVON delivers yet again! There are a few makeup remover options, all of which can be purchased at youravon.com/ssandis and shipped right to your address.  The top two in my book (as well as in the reviews left by customers) are the AVON Makeup Remover Wipes and the AVON Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion. I use both of these products on a daily basis and I find that I need both in my makeup removal routine. 

First, let's talk more about the Makeup Remover Wipes. They come in a pack of 24 wipes and personally, I only need to use one for my entire face, so this pack will last me almost one month! The wipes are thick and do not tear or shred away as you wipe your face -- and they really do work to get your face clean of makeup, dirt, debris, etc. I have read that some find this product to be mildly irritating, however I have NOT had any issue with these. I have even noticed clearer skin just due to the fact that these wipes clean my face so well. (That, plus afterward I use the Anew Vitale Gel Cleaner... Another favorite and essential of mine!!) You can get your Makeup Remover Wipes with Mineral Complex at youravon.com/ssandis for $8 a pack. TO USE: Lift resealable adhesive strip and remove one towelette. Wipe over entire face, including eye area to remove all traces of makeup. No need to rinse. To protect wipes from drying out, immediately close resealable adhesive strip after each use. Do not flush.

Let's take a look at some more reviews left by customers on this Top Rated product. As of this post, the Makeup Remover Wipes with Mineral Complex has 4.7 out of 5 stars with 120 customer reviews:

Customer Comments about Makeup Remover Wipes with Mineral Complex:

"I don't use soap on my face and don't like using cleansers. I have tried other wipes but none compare to how well these moisture wipes work. There is a mild fresh scent and one cloth will take off all the make up from my eyes, face, and leaves no residue. Perfect for travel as well as at home."

"By far, these are the best makeup remover wipes I've ever used! When they go on sale, I always stock up. Does not dry my skin out and gently removes even my waterproof mascara! I highly recommend this product."

"These makeup remover wipes are awesome! They effectively remove all makeup and leave your skin feeling refreshed.....not oily or tight. The cloth is thick and large enough to clean your entire face and neck. I love them for traveling, too."

"Love this product. I used to dread the process of removing make-up but these make it so pleasant and easy. No more stained washcloths and splashing water. Just wipe and dispose. Make-up gone. Gentle on my sensitive eyes, too."

Now that we have gone over the wipes, let's talk about AVON's #1 Makeup Remover: Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion. I like to call this one, magic in a bottle! I have never before experienced a product that you simply dab onto your fingertip, very gently rub onto your eyelid and under eyes, and with a warm cloth wipe completely clean in one sweep. It does not matter how many times I use this product, every time I do I am amazed. I also have found that the name of this product is quite fitting as my skin feels moisturized and softened after using. The cost of one bottle at youravon.com/ssandis is $4 but often goes on sale for just .99 each!! That's a great time to stock up -- AND worth noting is that this product unopened/sealed will keep good for up to 3 years! I always like to grab at least 5 bottles if not more when they go on sale. What about you? 

Remember, always check for the best price when shopping on my eStore - you can back order from previous AVON Campaigns and make sure you get the best deal possible. To learn how to do that, go here.

Check out what some of the reviews left by customers have to say about this Top Rated product. As of this post, the Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion has 4.7 out of 5 stars with 891 customer reviews:

Customer Comments about Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion:

"I've been using this eye makeup remover for years and I love it. I does an awesome job of removing makeup and rinses clean. No oily residue like some I have tried. Highly recommend."

"This is absolutely the best eye makeup remover I have ever used!!! It doesn't take much & feels like it just melts even the most stubborn mascara with very little effort."

"I have used this product for years. I have tried others but always come back to Avon. My makeup comes off so quickly and it never stings my eyes. It is the best eye makeup remover lotion I have ever used."

"I got this so I could carry it on a flight (4oz or less) and this is all I will ever buy from now on. Not oily or greasy and feels gentle on my eyes. Perfect!!"

"This is the best eye make-up remover ever! Gentle on my lashes too! I have noticed my lashes are thicker since I have been using it. My lashes don't fall out like they would with other removers. Don't think twice about trying this remover! I would give it 1 million stars if I could!"

That's gonna do it for today, beauts! I hope you have all enjoyed this entry and will share this post to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, etc!! Please leave a comment below if you love these products just as much as I do! Thanks for reading and have a fabulous week.
