Summer Beauty Report: Makeup Tips & Trends

No wonder a lightened-up makeup look has ruled the runways season after season — it has that effortless vibe everyone wants in the Summer. Avon Celebrity Makeup Artist, Kelsy Deenihan says: “To achieve the no-makeup makeup look, stick to a fresh face and neutral shades,” Kelsey goes on to say “The point of a no-makeup makeup is to enhance your natural features without adding color to make any part of the face pop.” Here’s how:

SKIN: Mix equal parts mark. Got the Goods Multi-Benefit Foundation and mark. That’s Brilliant Face & Eye Luminizer for sheer coverage with a radiant finish.

CHEEKS: For a flushed look with extra radiance, you can also blend mark. Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes in Pearly Glow over the apples of the cheeks.

SHADOW: Apply a thin veil of mark. All Time Eye Hook-up Longwear Eyeshadow in Tender Love on the lids. The neutral champagne color will catch the light and open the eyes without looking too heavy or dramatic.

LINER: If you can’t go without eyeliner, stick to a medium-brown such as the mark. No Place to Run Longwear Eye Liner in Foxy Brown. The cognac color will define the eyes without being too dark.

MASCARA: Opt for a brown mascara like the mark. Lash Act Build & Define Mascara in Brown Black. This will help keep the eyes soft instead of an edgy dark look.

LIPS: For a hint of color and lasting hydration, go for the mark. All Butt Now Lip Treat in Bare All. These mark. lip butters delivery a rich, buttery shine without a harsh chemical taste. I personally love the sweet fruity mango flavor!

Bronzed Matte Makeup Tutorial w/ Avon Celeb MUA Lauren Anderson

Hey, beauts! The weekend is near so I figured it was a perfect time to cover one of the latest beauty trends: bronzed matte makeup! With Avon makeup products, it is easy and fun to achieve this trendy look. Check out Avon Celebrity Makeup Artist, Lauren Anderson's makeup tutorial video below --- then, read on for info on the products used, as well as the opportunity to order them online!

                      

Just like Lauren Anderson did in her video, let's start with the True Color Matte Eyeshadow Quad in shade Desert Sunset. This shade palette is warm in color and right on trend with the matte finish! Regularly priced at $8. You can check out my Avon eStore to see if this product is currently on sale or under a special promotional offer. 

Next, let's talk about the Avon Glow Bronzing Powder. This product is available in 3 different shades: Sunkissed Glow, Warm Glow, and Light Bronze. It is regularly priced at $9, but as with any Avon product - check online for current deals. Avon Glow is a makeup collection of sun-inspired beauty! This silky, luminous bronzer blends easily for a streak-free, radiant look. Here's another beauty tip: The secret to believable bronze is to dust powder where the sun naturally hits...cheekbones, nose and forehead.

After getting your eyes all glowed up, it is time to define the lash line with Glimmersticks Eye Liner in shade Cosmic Brown (Reg. price is $7). Glimmersticks Eye Liner gives you beautiful stay put colors, you can wear all day! The dazzling colors define and enhance your eyes! The retractable eyeliner creates a perfect point that allows for easy precision application.

Once that is done, accentuate your lashes with Avon's new Big & Multiplied Volume Mascara(Reg. price is $9). This mascara is available in 3 shades: Black, Brown/Black, and Blackest Black. Our first triple-threat mascara: detangling + serious seperation + head-turning volume! For the ultimate look in lash fullness. Featuring a killer combo of brushing and combing zones that instantly seperate and volumize lashes. Designed with Smart Slip Technology, our mascara sticks to lashes, not to itself. Good-bye unruly lashes! 

Last but certainly not least, use the Perfectly Matte Lipstick in shade Marvelous Mocha. I am a huge fan or matte lips and Avon's Perfectly Matte line is truly top-of-the-line! An extremely smooth, completely matte lipstick that never cakes, cracks, or compromises.

My Avon Beauty Favorites | Post 3

Hey there, beauts! Its a new day and I've got a new post to share with you all, featuring more of My Avon Beauty Faves. Just like the other posts to this series, I will share my reasons for why I love each featured product. I will also list product prices and include any deals/special offers where applicable. After the post, I would like to once again open it up for discussion --- so, be sure to leave a comment below!

I'd like to start off the post today with the Avon Care Silicone Glove Protective Hand Cream. This is an Avon Favorite of many and has been for years. I first got this for myself at the end of November, last year. The Seasonal Mini Hand Creams were available, and I bought the bundle which included this product. My seven year old son loves when I get "Avon goodies" so, I gave him a mini tube of the Silicone Glove and was happy that he was happy. He tried it out right away and came to me with excitement at how good it smelled. He said "I'm not exactly sure what it smells like, it's like something I know of. But it's real good, Mom. My hands are so soft now!" Then I thought, hey with a little review like that, how could I not give it a try myself!? My first impression of this product was how it did not feel like hand cream as I rubbed it in. It was not sticky and absorbed into my skin quickly and felt like I had just used baby powder on my hands. That's when it hit me --- the scent of this Silicone Glove Protective Hand Cream is incredibly reminiscent to that of baby powder. It is fresh and clean smelling. It is soft, and works wonders at healing and protecting my hands with all of the dish washing I do around here! If you are someone who does a lot of cleaning around the house, you will want to try this product. The Avon Care Silicone Glove Protective Hand Cream is regularly priced at $5. As of this blog entry, you can take advantage of the special offer of 2 for $7 online at youravon.com/ssandis Also, the Seasonal Mini Hand Creams are still available on my Avon eStore, while supplies last at .89 for the mini tube.

I'd like to move on now to the next fave of mine, Ultra Color Lipstick in shade Pink Punch. This lipstick color is from the Bold Shades line of the Ultra Color brand. Before I became an Avon Representative, I did not wear any lipstick. I had wanted to but never thought anything out there was worth my money. It was always not enough color or not the color I expected to show up when applied, it just wasn't worth it to me. Then, when I began selling Avon, I grew outside of my comfort zone and began trying out all the products that I could. The reviews on the Ultra Color Lipsticks are amazing, to say the least. With that being said, I gave a look at the shades and decided on something bold that would give me a take charge attitude. When you are in the mood for something like that, how can you pass on something called Pink Punch!? I have loved this shade from the moment I first used it. My husband loves it on me, I get a ton of compliments when I wear it. The color lasts and is true to the tube. What you see with Avon Makeup is what you get. Ultra Color Lipsticks are usually $8 each tube. At the time of this posting, the product is on sale for only $5.99 each tube. Why not try a new bold shade such as Pink Punch? Treat yourself to a little something and have fun with it! If a bold lip is so not your scene, not to worry love --- there are plenty of gorgeous neutral, light shades available.

Next up, is my latest mascara craze --- the ever-popular Super Shock Max Mascara. This is one of the top rated, best of the best mascaras from Avon. I've tried and loved the Wash-Off Waterproof and Big & False Lash but I was ready for something different. There was a good deal on mascaras so, naturally I snagged myself a tube. I am the kind of girl that doesn't have much lashes going on, or at least extremely light ones. Since I do not prefer that look, I go for the mascaras that make my lashes soar but I also need that volume. What I love about this mascara is the brush. Its a large brush yet does not get messy when applying. It catches every lash and gives them the boost they need. I also love that even at the regular price of $9, it won't break the bank. So many people insist that inexpensive makeup means that the makeup quality is cheap. That is so not the case with Avon! Plus, with Avon's Return Policy and their Money Back Guarantee --- if you are not truly satisfied with your purchase(s), within 90 days after ordering, you can return it for a full refund. Sounds like a good deal to me! I understand that not everything works for everyone and we aren't all going to like the same things. With this policy, Avon gets that, too and wants all those shopping to be pleased and feel beautiful. Select Mascaras are currently BOGO for .99 at youravon.com/ssandis

I'm closing out today's entry with what I like to call Heaven in a Bottle, the mark. Naked Love Body Mist. The entire mark. Naked Love Bath & Body Collection is a dream. It has such a unique and playful blend of white peach, apricot nectar, velvet freesia, and soft musk. This collection first debuted in February of 2015 and was meant to be a Limited Edition Collection. When it's time was up, so many (including myself) kept obsessing over it! mark. brought the products back and now they are here to stay. You've got to try this Body Mist --- it's light, refreshing, and cheerful. There's some serious aroma therapy going on with the mark. Bath & Body Collections. Check them out and order online!

There we have it, loves --- Another of My Avon Beauty Faves Roundup posts, complete. Thanks for reading and following my journey with Avon Products. As you can tell, I am having the time of my life!

The Vampy Makeup Trend | Pictures + Product Reviews

Hey there, beauties! Starting off the day with a fresh post and a trendy makeup look: Vampy. I have so much fun playing with my makeup and this was no different. It was a blast taking prepping for this posting. I've been craving to go a bit bold and try a berry lip so I went through my lippy sample bullets and found a beautiful one: Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick in Radiant Raisin ($9). I love this lipstick line from AVON because it has SPF 15 in the formula, which is great for keeping lips healthy and smooth. 

Once I found that, I began setting up my space. I started with my Magix Face Perfector ($11) to get my skin prepped/primed. I added my Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation ($12) using myAVON Kabuki Brush ($6.99). After having the canvas set, I used the AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer ($8 reg.) which i've recently become a huge fan of! 

While I was trying to choose which mascara to use (I have a few different ones on hand!) I decided that I did not want to go for such a bold lash since I was about to don a bold lip. I kept it simple and chose the AVON Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara ($8). which is a fabulous yet basic mascara.

One of my favorite eyeshadow palettes is the True Color Eyeshadow Quad ($8 reg.) I have a few of these in different shades, but the one I chose to wear today was the Chocolate Sensation quad. The soft, shimmering beige brings out my eyes when added to the inner corners, and I love the milk chocolate and truffle shades for the crease Those all have a slight shimmer/sparkle to them but number 4 on the quad, Black Brown is a matte. I've noticed that most of the TC Eyeshadow Quads come this way: Numbers 1 thru 3 - shimmery and number 4 - matte. I use the AVON Pro Eyeshadow Brush ($5.99) and AVON Pro Crease Brush ($5.99). As for the sponge applicator that came with the eyeshadow, I use that to help remove nail enamel. It works great to reaching those inner nail creases.

 I also used my favorite eyeliner, the Ultra Luxury Eye Liner in Dark Brown on the bottom and then used the Ultra Luxury Eye Liner in Eggplant up on the top to get that pop of purple going on my eyes. I love these liners because they are easy to sharpen, the product does not break off or get too soft, and when applied lasts for hours! Another plus? These liners are only $5 each!

And now for the finished look! Thoughts?

An Expiration on Beauty? When in Doubt, Toss it Out

This morning i'd like to take some time and blog about the shelf life of your cosmetics and when you are to toss (and then replenish!) your must-haves. 

You may be able to stretch that tube of mascara for a long time. You probably think you are being money conscious, thrifty, and savvy. Saving a few bucks here and there is a wise move, sure --- but not in this case! When you keep your makeup around for longer than you should, you risk all sorts of bacteria growth and this can lead to eye infections and skin irritations that can cause you to break out. Ick. No thanks! So, in case you were unfamiliar about when you should replace your tube of mascara, its every 3 months. Whether you've exhausted the makeup inside or not, it's time to toss it and purchase a new one. Plenty of great sales on fabulous mascaras at youravon.com/ssandis

My mascara favs: Big & False Lash and Wash-Off Waterproof. Have you tried these?

Not only do you risk eye infections and acne blunders when you use the same makeup for too long, over time it will also loose its quality and this can result in undesirable looks. Think about the last time you did a makeup toss. If you can't remember when, it's time to go through the makeup bag. As you can see, its sound advice that if you are not sure how old a certain makeup product is, that you should throw it away. 

You should also be washing your makeup brushes at least twice a month to keep them clean and from transferring bacteria to your skin. I use Baby Shampoo to clean mine, it works great!

BEAUTY TIP:
To help you remember when its time to toss your cosmetics, slap a label on the product of when you opened it and used it for the first time.
