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. Stay put eyeliner wont move or face and is perfect for long wear! 

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. Seals in moisture for a lightweight velvety feel. Our new matte lipstick comes in 12 bold, beautiful colors for any long-lasting, chic look. Regular price is $9. Check out youravon.com/ssandis for current Avon Sales & Special Offers.

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!

Avon Perfectly Matte Lipstick Swatches + Product Review

Good evening, loves! If you haven’t heard yet, Avon has just released a new lipstick line and its right on trend. (True Matte Eyeshadow Quads are also available but in this post, i’ll be getting lippy with the lipsticks.)

I’d like to start with saying that I have never been much of a glossy girl. I don’t care much for sticky lips that don’t provide any color with its shine. I tend to prefer the sparkle and glitz to be around my eyes. While Avon does have a few demi-matte lipsticks to the Ultra Color Lipstick line, the truth is they were lacking some shade variety. Also, demi-matte is not a true matte and so when I caught sight of the Perfectly Matte Lipsticks I got incredibly excited! There are 12 True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick shades to choose from and they are all gorgeous!

The name of this lipstick line could not be more fitting. First, True Color. Once again, Avon has done it — what you see is what you get. I appreciate that when I see a tube of Avon lipstick, I’m sure to get the same color on my lips when applied. Other brands have let me down but Avon sure hasn’t. Then, there’s the Perfectly Matte part to the name. Yes, just that — Perfectly Matte. If you are looking for a smooth yet vibrant lipstick that has lasting power without shimmer and shine, this line is for you! The True Color Perfectly Matte Lipsticks will be regularly priced at $9 each, but will launch at an intro special pricing of just $5.99 each!

Here are all 12 of the True Color Perfectly Matte Lipsticks that I “swatched out”. I always have a great time doing these swatches, even though my kids look at my like i’m crazy!

My very first impression on these lipsticks was how smoothly they applied. It was such an effortless application. I’m sure you, like myself, have experienced some waxy lip products that you have to give a great deal of pressure to, to get some kind of color out. This is not the case with these lipsticks — each shade delivers its own unique and eye-pleasing color.  I couldn’t wait to try out all 12 shades on my lips, so I “put my face on” and got my camera ready!

Starting from the bottom left corner and going to the right then straight up, Shade names: Hot Plum, Coral Fever, Perfectly Nude, Marvelous Mocha, and Ideal Lilac. My next impression of the products? Thank goodness for no sticky, harsh, chemical taste. There’s nothing worse than wearing an incredible lip color and having it become tainted due to an unpleasant taste. Also, these lipsticks have such a light feeling to them yet the color is anything but.

After applying these “First Five” I found my favorites were Hot Plum and Marvelous Mocha.  They are all gorgeous though and I can see myself wearing them all for various occasions.  Which one is your favorite out of this group? Leave a comment after the post!

I felt so confident and beautiful when trying these lipsticks out! I was certainly eager to try out the remaining seven shades to the lineup.

Top row going from left to right, Shade names: Superb Wine, Red Supreme and Ravishing Rose. Middle row going from left to right, Shade names: Adoring Love, Pure Pink and Electric Pink. Bottom left, Shade name: Wild Cherry. Look how versatile these shades are! And oh-my-goodness, Electric Pink!? What fun! Bold shades always steal my heart because they give me a fierceness in myself that makes me feel empowered. I also enjoy the sweetness and innocence of shade Pure Pink.

These colors are perfect for Spring (or anytime, really!) I cannot wait to don them with confidence no matter where the day/night takes me! Out of the second grouping, which shade(s) do you love most? Don’t forget to leave a comment below and we can keep the beauty chat going!!
