“What can I say — this product helps me look younger! The color and shimmer really brightens my face. I even use a tiny bit on my eyelids. LOVE it!”

“I use this everyday as my eye shadow and blush. It looks well blended as soon as it is applied. It takes no time to apply and isn’t too “bronze” which can look fake on fair skin. It does make my skin glow without being overdone. I have been using this for over 2 years and haven’t used anything else since. I love this and get compliments on my make up all the time.”

“I love the shimmer cream cubes. I use them with a broad short-bristled thick brush and swirl the brush over the entire set, resulting in a lovely blend that goes on easily. With a small brush, I can use one of the cubes by itself when I want a little shine on lips or eye lids. Love that it’s not a powder and not a cream in a tube. Great product – have seen nothing like it anywhere else.”

“I bought this product after seeing that it won a Beauty Award from Cosmetic Executive Women, and I’m SO glad I did! I used this to highlight my face and as my eyeshadow, and the shimmer and finish were absolutely beautiful; my skin was glowing! Everyone kept asking what I was wearing. I can’t wait to share this product with friends!”

“I love this palette. It’s my go to for getting ready on those rushed mornings. I use the colors individually and combined for that very subtle and pretty glow. I’ve had mine for about 6 months and barely made a dent. I use it at least 4x a week. It’s a cream so if you use on your eyelids, primer is a must to prevent creasing.”

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!

New Blog Post Series: Make Your mark. Monday Post 1

Got a bad case of the Mondays? Personally, I know I do. Not wanting to stay in that funk,  I thought about some way to change my mood. I came up with the idea to start a weekly themed post on mark. products! Here’s what I am thinking about doing with this new post series on the blog: Each Monday i’ll create a fresh post covering a few mark. products that are available on my Avon eStore. (That’s right, Avon and mark. products go hand in hand!) I’ll share product pictures, prices, and info. You’ll also see some customer comments that were left online as well as comments from myself on the featured product(s). My hope is that this series will be a hit and you’ll all see how trendy and versatile mark. products can be in your beauty routine!

Let’s start off with the mark. Sweet on Lemon Sugar Body Mist. This product is fun, unique, cheerful, and refreshing. You may be skeptical (I initially was) but this scent is one of the best chances I’ve taken on something. I was pretty sure that I would not like to spray a lemon scented spray on me. I worried I would smell like a cleaning solution or something. Instead what I got was a sweetened citrus splendor! The warmth and youth of this scent is a great choice with Spring just around the corner. The mark. Sweet on Lemon Sugar Body Mist is priced at $14, online at youravon.com/ssandis Also available to this collection are Hand Cream, Body Scrub, 3-in-1 Body Wash, and Body Butter. To get the best effect out of any fragrance, layering with the various scented products is recommended for staying power.

Have you tried mark. Juice Gems? If you’ve tried it in the past you may not know that the product now comes in a larger, sleeker tube. The mark. Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss contains real fruit extract. It will leave your lips feeling moisturized and conditioned. There are 8 shades available, pictured above is shade Juicy Fig. I’m usually not a lip gloss kind of girl, but I like this because it is easy to apply — you don’t have to squeeze hard to get out enough product. I also like it because it smells and tastes amazing. The regular price is $11 each tube. PROS: Convenient Container, Even Application, Glossy Finish, Great Color Selection, Long Lasting, Moisturizing, Pleasant Tasting, True To Color. Online Customer Comments about mark. Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss: “I have never found a better lip gloss. And believe me, I have tried. I am so bummed that the Avon stores in my city won’t carry it. The colors are amazing and it lasts longer than any lip gloss I have ever tried. I just bought 2 tubes of Juicy Fig and they are probably my 20th and 21st tubes. I absolutely love it.”

I had never tried a lip butter before but when I saw that mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat I was intrigued. This product is infused with Shea, cocoa, and mango seed butters and once again is pleasantly tasting and smelling. There are now 8 shades to choose from, pictured above are Bare All and Mauvelous. For a limited time only at youravon.com/ssandis pick any 2 of these for $16 — Regularly $11 each! 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. PROS: Soothing, Healing, Long lasting, Smells/Taste Great, Effective.

Last for today is the mark. Glowdacious Illuminating Powder. I had wanted to get something to give me that glow around my cheeks and this product does just that. I also notice that when I use it, it defines my cheekbones and gives a professional makeup application look. I love it.When I first got the compact, it took a few times of using to really get in there to get the color on the brush — which is included, by the way! There are 3 different shades available, depending on your skin tone. I have fair/light skin, so my ideal shade is Prettied Up. This product is regularly priced at $13. Visit youravon.com/ssandis to place an order! More reasons that I love this product? It is oil free and fragrance free, so it isn’t harsh on my sensitive skin. It is easy to apply and blends well. There’s a silky, shimmery finish and it’s just gorgeous. It lasts all day long and removes easily with the Avon Makeup Remover Wipes.
