My Avon Beauty Favorites | Post 4

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!

10 Household Items that Double as Beauty Helpers

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!!

My Review on a few Avon Nail Enamel Products

Hey there, beauts! Today on the blog i'm going to review some of the products for nails that are available on my AVON eStore at youravon.com/ssandis Get ready to give 'em some nail envy!

I had been looking for a minty nail enamel shade and came across the Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel line, shade Turquoise Pop. The color swatch on the website makes it look more like a robins egg blue, however, when on it is more of a green(mint). This product, as of this post, has a 3.6 out of 5 star review with 113 online customer reviews. Product Description: Dries in less than 30 seconds! Makes nails feel rock hard! This fast-drying formula contains Avon's Flash Dry Technology, a unique blend of quick-drying ingredients, and Volcanic Rock. The customized flat brush allows the formula to glide on smoothly and evenly without streaking. Your nails will be polished in no time at all. No formaldehyde, toluene or DBP. REGULAR PRICE: $6 Check here to see if this product is currently under a special promotion.

What I love about the Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel: 
- It really does dry completely and smoothly in seconds! I did not time it, to be honest, but the 30 seconds that it advertises has got to be true considering I noticed it drying as I was still applying. You can really see it working. This product is great for me as I love to have my nails pretty and colorful but cannot stand the drying wait time that comes with it. I applied 2 coats(could have gotten away with just one!) and again, no bubbles or anything like that. Just a smooth finish. The product seems to be lasting well... I do tons of housework and there are a few chips after a few days but I expected as much. Still, they look fabulous and i'm getting compliments from family and friends! 

The AVON Dazzlers Top Coat has been out for awhile but I had yet to try it. When I purchased the Turquoise Pop shade, I decided to purchase the Dazzlers in Disco Ball. Click here to view all of the Dazzler shades available. As of this post, this product has a 3.7 out of 5 star review with 20 online customer reviews. REGULAR PRICE: $6 Be sure to checkyouravon.com/ssandis to see if there's a special sale on this product! Product Description: Create an over-the-top dazzling accent nail or fabulous French Tip. Can be worn alone or over your fave polish. 

What I love about the Dazzlers Top Coat:
- Leaves a smooth finish despite what some may feel may be a rough coating due to the glitter flakes. I had a blast playing with this product and creating a look that was a mix of the nail design tip from the above mentioned product description. It is easy to apply, doesn't seem to clump around or bunch up in one spot. Other than the colored sparkles, the product is a clear top coat. I like this because it adds that extra protection against chipping yet does not change anything about the look(color) that I had wanted. 

A few months back I had discovered the Nail Experts Gel Strength Base Coat and fell in love! As of this post, this product has a 4.6 out of 5 star review with 40 online customer reviews.Product Description: Protein and keratin-infused formula creates a hard, shiny finish. Provides a sheer, natural and healthy look to nails. REGULAR PRICE: $6.50 As of this posting, this product is currently on sale for a special promotion of 2 for $6.99! Click here to shop the special offer.

What I love about the Nail Experts Gel Strength Base Coat:
This product goes on clear (just appears to be pink in the bottle) and really works at keeping my nails strong. I have also noticed that it seems to be helping with making my nails grow faster than usual, so that's another plus.
