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.

A Beauty Guide on Avon Makeup Brushes

I used to be the girl who applied liquid foundation with my fingertips — the girl who used the sponge applicators (that come in the eyeshadow palettes) to apply my eyeshadow. I would try to create new and exciting lippy looks by mixing my lipsticks and never even knowing that there was such a thing as a “lip brush“. Then, when I would go to use my lipstick again, it was never the shade it was supposed to be — but instead my own shade creation. Ugh! What was I doing wrong? I saw others using these big, fluffy brushes and such and I thought — is all of that really necessary? Does it really make a difference? So, last year shortly after I signed up online tobecome an Avon Representative, I gave in to what I thought at the time to be “the hype” and ordered a few of the Avon Pro Makeup Brushes.

The first brushes that I tried out were: the Avon Pro Eyeshadow Brush and the Avon Pro Crease Brush. I didn’t want to go all out if I found that these really weren’t necessary for me. I set aside the sponge applicator that I had been using and dabbed the new eyeshadow brush in my Avon True Color Eyeshadow Quad (shade Chocolate Sensation!).

My first impression was how simple it was to get the product on the brush. With the sponge applicator, you have to sort of dig in at it and smear it on — not with the Avon Pro Eyeshadow Brush, though! All I had to do was a gentle tap, a smooth, effortless tap and I was all prepped. I applied the first quad shade on my inner eye lid, blending outward toward the center. I flipped the brush over to the “clean side” and prepped it with the second quad shade. At this point I was thinking: “Wow, this is really easy — and fast!” To finish off my look, I grabbed the Avon Pro Crease Brush to use the remaining quad shades and give me the smoky look I adore. No mess, no fuss, just a girl playing with some makeup.

After I had my eyes all dolled up, I took a good look in the mirror. My eyeshadow seemed to be more even than it had ever had before. These brushes are very easy to use and it was then that I realized that I did need these in my life. *Insert dramatic faced emoticon here*

My take on these beauty tools:
Application time was reduced due to the ease of these tools. The finished look appears to have a more professional finish than what my prior application process was giving me. I highly recommend everyone who wears makeup to have a set of pro-style makeup brushes. I feel that anyone who enjoys applying makeup and trying out new techniques will find Avon’s Pro Makeup Brushes to be effective tools to their process.

My next makeup brush purchase from Avon was the Avon Pro Kabuki Brush. I use this to apply my Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation. (Which, by the way, I am absolutely in love with! I had never noticed how perfumed my previous face makeup was until using the Smooth Minerals product. There is zero fragrance to it and it works wonders for my sensitive skin and covering up any imperfections. Gives a gorgeous glow, also.) The Kabuki Brush has no long handle to it, you just cup it in your hand and swirl softly on your face. The bristles aren’t tough nor harsh and work great in getting the powder blended all over.

My most recent Avon Pro Makeup Brush purchase was the Avon Pro Blush Brush. I use this brush in applying my Smooth Minerals Blush. (Another fabulous product! I currently have shade Blushing Mauve. This gives such a pretty pink and rosy glow to my cheeks. Great for defining my cheekbones, too! You can dab as little or as much as is your style!) I have noticed that Avon’s Blush Brush does shed a bristle or two at times. This doesn’t happen every time and when it does it’s easy enough to get the stray bristle off. Worth mentioning to you all though! Overall, I do like the ease of the brush. I like the longer handle for applying my blush as it seems to aid me in not overdoing it when I don’t have to. The longer handle seems to give me more control over where i’m applying my blush to.

My Avon Pro Makeup Brush Collection is no where near complete, there are many more brushes that I will be trying out soon! Avon’s branch-brand mark. has a new mini brush set coming out soon. This comes complete with an adorable gold bag to hold them in!

Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation + Blush Makeup Review

Hey there, beauts! I’ve known for quite some time that I adore the Avon Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation. It blends well, it’s fragrance free and it’s great for my sensitive skin. The Smooth Minerals line from Avon contains pure mineral pigments and the foundation provides build-able coverage with a natural, luminous finish. The regular cost of the Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation is $12, and I find that to be a steal. It often goes on sale which sweetens the pot even more! There are 12 shades to choose from, including a Transparent Glow and Bronze. I’ve found that my perfect shade is Light Beige. I have been incredibly happy with this product —so happy  that I came across it and gave it a try!

Prior to using this as my go-to foundation, I had never realized how fragrant my previous face makeup was. I really enjoy not having any scent while applying and my face seems to enjoy it as well — i’ve experienced far less breakouts since using it and I can tell that my overall skintone looks more radiant, even when the makeup is off! If you have tried other Mineral Makeup lines and love them, you are sure to love these products as well (And at a fraction of the cost). Why are you paying more money for products when you can get quality makeup from my Avon eStore? With Avon’s Money Back Guarantee, you have nothing to lose. If you do not like the product or if it is not quite the right shade, Avon will give you a full refund within 90 days of placing the order.

To apply this powder, I use Avon’s Kabuki Brush. It’s regular price is only $6.49 and I find it to be the perfect tool for this product’s application. The brush is soft and blends the makeup flawlessly. The bristles are not coarse and they do not shed as i’m circling the powder on my face. To clean, I use Baby Shampoo — works like a charm! 

For my bronzer/blush, I’ve previously used the mark. Glowdacious Illuminating Powder. While I do love it, i’ve been eager to try the Smooth Minerals Blush. The Glowdacious is more of a bronzer and i’ve been wanting to try out a pretty pink blush. The Smooth Minerals Blush is regularly priced at $10. Check my eStore to see if there’s a current sale or special promotion for this product. This blush, just like the Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation, contains pure mineral pigments. It works for all skin types, even sensitive skin. The formula (talc, fragrance, and oil free!) for this lightweight powder contains Avon’s exclusive 100% naturally derived mineral blend with essential nutrients plus vitamins. There are 8 shades available and my for my first go at this blush, I chose shade Blushing Mauve.

Upon receiving my order (I also ordered the Avon Pro Blush Brush), my first impression of the shade as I removed it from the box was: “Oh, that’s intense.” Honestly, I was worried that I would not like it because it appeared very bright.  I lightly dipped the Blush Brush in and tapped off any excess. I discovered if you desire a softer glow, just apply lightly. If you would like a more dramatic effect, go heavier. It’s that simple! The Blushing Mauve shade is a gorgeous pink with slight hint of purple. It was a fine choice for my fair skin. I’m looking forward to trying out the other shades as well but I know that this one is a keeper!
