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!

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? 
SHOP NOW to get the LOWEST PRICE EVER
$3.99 each lipstick

I hope you have enjoyed this entry! Please leave a comment below and we can continue the beauty chat on these gorgeous lippy swatches!!

"This is hands down the best eyeshadow primer I've ever used, which includes some much more expensive brands. This goes on easily and then does what it's supposed to beauitfully. Shadow and liner stay put all day with no creasing or smudging."

"This primer is my salvation for long work days. It keeps my liner and shadow on for over 12 hours without reapplying or touch ups. Goes on smoothly and on my fair skin looks like a light shadow if I don't feel like using a colored eyeshadow. Great product!"

"Used many primers and I was even a representative of another makeup company for years and this by far is the best I have ever used. Never had a problem with any AVON product. I have completely changed everything over."

If you have read my previous entry, My Mini Makeup Haul, you'll remember that I tried and reviewed two of the next primer products that I will mention: Magix Face Perfector and the AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer. Both I have found to be essential in prepping my makeup looks. You can read (or re-read) more about those products HERE.

I'd like to shift gears a bit while still focusing on beauty primers. Don't disregard a good hair treatment. Have you tried the mark. Hair Products yet? With the damaging effects of the wind and cold weather, now is a good time to use the mark. Prep For It Hair Primer ($16). Run this lightweight lotion through wet or dry hair for a veil of moisture without weighing your hair down. This product is also great for detangling hair instantly. 
Other mark. Hair Products to explore are: mark. Therapy Session Hair Repair Mask, mark. More Than Shine Hair Serum, and mark. That's Beachy Texturizing Surf Spray. Learn more about all of the mark. Hair Products HERE.


Now that you have your beautiful makeup look applied, don't forget to set it:

Helps set your foundation, blush, and eye makeup in place without drying your skin. This product is infused with Vitamins A, C, E. and leaves a non-sticky feel.

My Makeup Mini-Haul + Product Reviews

Hey, beauties! I recently tried out a few new products and I'm excited to blog my reviews on them!! I ordered the AVON Magix Face Perfector, AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer, mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat in Mauvelous, and the mark. Juice Gems in Juicy Fig. All of these products can be purchased at youravon.com/ssandis so be sure to check that out after reading my post. 

I'm going to start right at the beginning. I have been looking for a product to help combat the oily shine that has been attacking my face as of late -- does that sound too dramatic? No, I think it's fair to say. I've heard the rave reviews on the Magix Face Perfector ($11) and was hoping I would like it as much as others seem to. What is nice about this product is that it is a colorless face primer. There is no tint to it and it is for all skin tones. I love the added SPF 20, which I can rely on to help protect my skin from the damaging rays from the Sun. 

My Notes on the Magix Face Perfector Product: 
- It has a powdery feel when applying. 
- Soaks up the shine practically instantly! 
- Delivered a matte finish.
- I do notice the scent of SPF and that's the only scent I get from the product. 
- I applied my Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation over-top and it blended easily and flawlessly. 
- My pores are all but gone! 
- This product really does make a difference in how your finished makeup look will turn out.
- I am now a firm believe in face primers. This one gets my vote and I won't ever go without it again!

I already knew that I loved the mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat ($11) product, since I had tried it before and fell in love instantly with shade Bare All. I am just about all out of my tube (eek! *gasp*) and was dying to try one of the new shades that was recently added to the product line. I chose the shade Mauvelous! This lip butter smells and tastes amazing with the shea, cocoa, and mango seed butters.

My Notes on the mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat shade Mauvelous:
- Perfect mauve shade for Fall.
- My dry lips instantly felt moisturized and smooth.
- Smooth, buttery texture that is pleasant and non-sticky.
- Wears like a lipstick but feels like a lip balm (lightweight!) 
- I realized that I NEED all 8 of the mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat Shades!!

I've been wanting to try the mark. Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss ($11) for a long time now and finally I was about to! I wanted a more neutral colored lip gloss as most of my lipstick stash is pinks and reds. I chose Juicy Fig and i'm quite glad that I did. I am so excited that this product contains real fruit extracts that amp up that yummy factor! This really does taste delish and that's refreshing from the chemical taste of other lip glosses that i've used. 
My Notes on the mark. Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss shade Juicy Fig:
- My lips felt hydrated and conditioned after applying.
- This tube is much BIGGER than I thought it would be (yay more bang for your buck!). 
- High Shine in the name is exactly what you will get with this product. Incredible glazed look. 
- Just a hint of color, which is what I was looking for! 
- Easy to squeeze tube, making application a breeze (just be careful to not overdue it. Less is more, ladies!!). 
- Packaging is overall made well. I can trust that the cap isn't just going to fall off when in my bag and dry out my product.
-Tastes a bit like peach. Yum!!

I previously blogged my review on my new favorite mascara: Big & False Lash Volume Mascara. Since I have just started to wear mascara, i'm still learning how my eyelashes will take to it and how to treat and take care of them. I discovered the AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer ($8 ON SALE NOW $4.99!) and knew I had to get it. I saw some reviews that this product had actually helped in growing eyelashes and who wouldn't want that!? This was the first go at using a lash conditioner and I wasn't sure really what to expect. 

My Notes on the AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer:
- What I found was that the conditioner is a white, creamy primer that goes on just like any mascara would. 
- The wand is not too big nor too small, I found it to be the perfect size and brush to reach and prep all of my lashes.
- Went on and left the tips of my eyelashes white at first, but quickly faded and you couldn't tell it was on them. 
- My mascara went on over-top nicely, and I even noticed a difference in how the product worked. I was surprised to find that the mascara results intensified with the use of this lash primer! 
- Also, I noticed when it was time to remove my eye makeup, it came off even easier than before. Which though I thought was not possible, clearly it was. 
- I'm very pleased with this product and will continue to use it and see if I notice my eyelashes grow during continued use.
