How to Find the Right Serum

Ever Wonder – What Should I use for my Fine Lines and Wrinkles? This is one of the top questions I get asked, and with so many choices it’s really hard to decide on one. Serums are skin care treatments with concentrated ingredients for targeting specific concerns and signs of aging yet lightweight, so ideal for layering under moisturizers.

If your Looking for Increased Brightness – Our Anew Vitamin C Brightening Serum is What your needing. This Lightweight Serum contains as much vitamin C as in 30 oranges ,a potent antioxidant, it helps visibly repair
skin damage to boost radiance. This super serum illuminates your dull, tired skin to look visibly energized. It’s one of my favorites.

If your needing More Hydration – Our Anew Hydra Fusion 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid Serum has been clinically proven to increase skins moisture. It contains our highest concentration of moisture-boosting hyaluronic acid (1.5%!) for visibly plumper, bouncier skin. Hyaluronic Acid acts like a sponge holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water for intense, lasting hydration. It’s your rescue treatment for those extra dry areas that need saving! 1 fl. oz.

Perhaps you need to rev-up and boost your existing moisturizer. Our Anew Power Serum is just what you need. Based on Nobel prize winning research, this Serum works with boost technology to hydrate your skin, smooth visible roughness and wrinkles, and return firmness to your face as it visibly repairs skin damage. It’s so effective that 93% of women agree that it dramatically improved skin’s appearance and is a great complement to your current skin care routine, and works well with almost any moisturizer.

Want a serum AND an oil? Anew Ultimate Supreme Dual Elixir is just that. First, a unique serum and Second, a luxurious blend of precious oils. The formulas are separated in the bottle to preserve their potency. When the 2 combine as the bottle is pumped, they create one supreme elixir that’s 3X more powerful than a serum alone.. Blend them together to activate and enhance their benefits for the ultimate youth-boosting skin care experience.

Do Small discolorations distract people from seeing the real you. Anew Clinical Absolute Even Multi-Tone Skin Corrector is just what you need. This anti-aging serum is formulated with DSX-7 which contains two different, complementary forms of vitamin C. Together they target the many facets of discoloration, reducing common problems such as dark circles under your eyes, uneven skin tones, blotches from acne scars and more.

Is your face feeling less firm? Maybe the Contours you saw in your youth aren’t visible anymore. Anew Clinical Infinite Lift Targeted Contouring Serum will help contour and combat aging with one action! With a Polypeptide Lift Complex it works to visibly lifts and firms targeted areas: cheeks, chin, jawline, and jowl. With a built in unique roller it can smooth and massage your skin.

Did Someone Say retinol? Retinol has been hailed as the Holy Grail of anti-aging products on the market. Our Isa Knox Anew Clinical Line Eraser with Retinol Treatment is the repackaged version of our previous Cline Eraser with Retinol treatment. This is one of my Favorites. This exclusive treatment harnesses the power of retinol. A lightweight, fast-acting treatment with exclusive Amino Acid complex delivers wrinkle-fighting action, and visible results in everyone that tries it. One Caution: Retinol is known to cause Sun Sensitivity.

One of the Newer serums is our Isa Knox Anew Clinical Revitalize & Reveal Resurfacing Expert Smoothing Fluid. Although I have not tried this particular formula, I was impressed with the earlier version. This silky smooth formula contains our concentrated blend of professional-grade anti-aging ingredients that retexturizes skin in just one night. Similar to a pro microdermabrasion, without the irritation, this formula helps to transform your skin to appear younger and smoother overnight.

Recently Introduced is our Isa Knox Anew LX Ultimate Rejuvenating Serum . Avon’s first holistic approach to skin care from rare peonies. it has been specially formulated to visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a younger, firmer look. I also noticed Improved texture & tone and my skin had a rejuvenated look.

Another of my favorites is our Isa Knox Anew Clinical Collagen Booster Rejuvenating Serum Ampoules . Although these small ampules are a bit pricier, I found them to be worth the extra cash. The serum is encased in individual capsules that you break open. It’s like opening a new jar each night. The serum inside features a powerful peptide blend to boost your body’s own natural production of collagen. Increased collagen helps skin look instantly smoother and more radiant. But my favorite part, fine lines and wrinkles were greatly reduced.

Not in the Brochure

Lots of times, Limited Edition items appear on my website www.youravon.com/nuxoll that are not in the brochure. This is due to the limited supply on hand. Items are usually in the Home Category, and not a regular item.

Just in time for Thanksgiving Dinner, the Kitchen Essentials section has several Limited Edition items that are perfect for every kitchen.

First the Stainless Steel Storage Bowls Set of 5 . These first caught me eye because of the Lids. Imagine being able to mix up a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies, and then store them in the fridge until you have time to bake them. The Smallest measures 4″ wide and the largest 7″.

I next noticed the 10 Piece Microwavable Bowl Set . The Set includes 5 bowls and 5 matching lids. Perfect for those Thanksgiving leftovers. Store in the Fridge, and re-heat in the same bowl. What a Time Saver that will be on those busy fall days.

And Speaking of Microwavable, Who enjoys cleaning the microwave after someone has re-heated a plate of leftovers? The 5 Size Microwave Food Cover Set saves the splatter from getting on the microwave walls. The sizes range from 4.5″ in diameter to a whooping 8.8″ diameter. Never worry about splattering the microwave walls again.

I personally have several AVON kitchen items in my home that I use on a daily basis. I try to order when I see them on the website, because when their gone, they are gone. As with all our limited edition items, only a few are available, and no backorders are available.

My Eyeliner is Gone

With the recent discontinuation of the Avon True Color Superextend Precise Liquid Pen Eye Liner — My Personal FAVORITE, I’ve been trying a variety of other eye liners offered by Avon.

First I tried the fmg Cashmere 24HR Cream Eyeliner , I liked the coverage, but not the fact that it needs to be sharpened. (I know it looks like it shouldn’t because the pencil feels like plastic, but trust me the pencil needs sharpened.

Second I tried Glimmersticks Waterproof Eye liner in Blackest Night. (currently being rebranded as fmg Glimmer Eye liner), but found that the color seemed to smear before the end of the Day, and I looked like I had dark circles under my eyes.

Third I Tried the fmg Glimmer Longwear Gel Eyeliner in Tornado (Black) This I the one that I’ve switched to as a replacement for the Avon True Color Superextend Precise Liquid Pen Eye Liner. I find the coverage does NOT smear, and it stays put all day long. The biggest Fall Back is that it is Not a pencil, so you mush purchase a separate eye liner brush to use it. although this is an inconvenience, I’ve gotten use to it over the past couple of months.

The other eye line Avon Offers is the Avon True Color Always On Point Eye Liner. Although I haven’t tried this one in a number of years, it is also an alternative to try as a replacement for the Avon True Color Superextend Precise Liquid Pen Eye Liner.

Lip Gloss that Plumps your Pout

Did someone say lip gloss?  Now I’ll be the first one to admit, lip gloss has never really been my thing.  Not sure why, I’ve just never gotten excited about a glossy lip finish. 

But, for many of my customers (especially the younger mom’s out there) it’s been a popular item, but what if you want to “plump” up your pout.  What if you want those lips to look Fuller. The fmg Glimmer Lip Plumper, is just what you need for a Plumped up shine. 

Volulip™ visibly plumps your pout, while it softens and moisturizes  to provide a dimensional, wet shine. It is created with a non-sticky creamy formula.  Plus has the added benefits of antioxidant vitamin E. No stinging or burning, just fuller-looking lips! Shiny gloss finish gives hours of wear without feathering. Although this Lip Gloss is really designed to plump up your lips, it Comes in a Universally flattering, brilliant shade and a Refreshing peppermint scent.  It’s designed to be worn UNDER your favorite lip color, to create fuller looking lips.

For the best results, use the fmg Lip Plumper   BEFORE you start your morning makeup routine to give the formula a chance to work and plump up your lips.  Then apply another layer right before you start your lip color for a smoother application of lip liner, and color. You can even finish with your favorite shade of any of our 4 other lip gloss formulas.

A-Box Monthly Drawing

Each month I do a Special Drawing for anyone that has placed an AVON order through me. That includes orders that are delivered directly through my avon website, or in person for pick up in Cottonwood.

I was able to earn many A-Boxes as a FREE Bonus gift based on sales levels of $1000 in 2 campaigns. Since it was my Customers who helped me earn the bonus, I choose to share those earnings with my customers.

So How do you enter the drawing? It’s really pretty simple, Place an order. I don’t take into account the amount of the order, so any size order gets your name in on the drawing.

What happens if you Win? I’ll put your A-Box in the mail and you should receive it shortly.

Is this different than the monthly sweepstakes? YES, the monthly sweepstakes is a drawing sponsored by AVON, and is open to anyone who enters through a link found on the AVON Store. The Monthly A-Box Drawing is something I do for my personally for my customers.

So if you happen to be the winner, and get a surprise package in the mail from me, Congratulations.

Avon Euthymol Toothpaste

Wait what?  Avon has toothpaste?

A large selection of Oral Care products are available for purchase from Your Independent Avon Representative.  With Whitening Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, Dental Floss and even a LED Teeth Whitening System.

I recently tried the newest addition, Enthymol Toothpaste.  

The paste has been Loved for over 122 years for its distinctly strong flavor and British heritage design. It is a classic oral care brand, which dates back to 1898.  Specially formulated to help keep teeth and gums healthy with a special blend of fluoride-free, antiseptic ingredients. The name “euthymol” tells of the main ingredient.  A combination of eucalyptus and thymol.

The description includes the term “strong flavored”.  Which is really an understatement.  The flavor is extreme!  But once you get a custom to the flavor, the benefits make it worth the surprise.  I’d describe the flavor very similar to the pink mint candies you can get at the store.  You know the ones that kinda remind one of Pepto Bismol.

The tube is sealed shut, so to use, remove the cap and turn it around to pierce the seal.  Use a tiny amount to start with, less than a tiny pea size.  My mouth felt very refreshed, and clean.  Even with an older toothbrush.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Campaign 20 is live 2021

As we enter September, Campaign 20 is now live on the website.

What is Live Shopping?

Over the past several months, you may have noticed emails about Avon Live, but what is it?

If you’ve ever turned on your TV to see people demonstrating products and telling you to “act fast” because the offers “won’t last”, then you’ve experienced “live shopping.”  Think QVC

While live shopping is nothing new, it’s only recently grown into a more interactive experience that exists on the internet and social media, not solely on the television.

Avon Live, the live shopping experience at Avon, allows customers to tune into  live shopping events on Live.avon.com at a specific day and time to purchase the featured products and take advantage of exclusive offers for one day only. 

Each Avon Live experience is themed and offers a specific assortment of Avon products, allowing the host (the person on the screen) time to explain each one in detail and interacting with attendees via chat.

The best part of a live event, in my opinion, is being able to experience Avon products,  hearing what the products do and watching them being used by real people.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I know most of the live events are at times I can’t necessarily log on to the internet, so I usually end up watching the replay.  Even though the specials (usually free gifts with purchase) are no longer valid, I still enjoy seeing the demonstrations.  

If you’re interested in experiencing a live shopping event head on over to the link for Live Shopping on my website.

Campaign 19 2021

Super Greens Multi-Vitamin Moisture Cream

Vegan  Super Greens Multi-Vitamin Moisture Cream with natural plant-based ingredients for healthy skin.  Many of these you’ll recognize: Broccoli Sprouts, Brussels Sprouts, Green Tea Extract, Moringa Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Seed Oil, Rosemary Leaf Oil,  Sunflower Seed Oil, Lavender Leaf and Stem Extract, Sage Extract.

The Cream is Formulated with a new, innovative Slow Herb Complex™.  This process involves slow, cold-brewing to extract antioxidants for peak efficacy. This type of process maintains the key benefits from plants.  These benefits keep skin looking softer, brighter and healthier by locking in essential nourishing moisture. In fact 91% of users agreed that skin instantly feels smoother, tighter and plumped with hydration in one week.

But, don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself.  I personally noticed a difference in the first few days.  My skin felt smoother, and fine lines and wrinkles faded quickly.  

One side note, after continued use for over a month, I began to notice dry, itchy and watery eyes. (Of course it could be from all the wildfire smoke we in central Idaho are freaking with).   But, I was using quite a bit both under my eyes, and on my eyelids.  In fact I would just close my eyes and gently massage the cream into my entire eye area. 

So, as I move forward, I’ll take a bit more time, and use the Super Greens Multi-Vitamin Moisture Cream as directed, and use a formula created for eyes (such as the  Bakuchiol Eye Cream), on my sensitive eye area.

Campaign 17 is Live 2021

It’s hard to believe we are halfway through summer.  I’ve recently seen “Back to School” Sales.   Although not necessarily “Back to School”. Campaign 17 is live and is packed with tons of “Good Buys”  in our SALE, SALE, SALE section.

Just an FYI though, All Sale items are FINAL sales with no Refunds or Exchanges,  and are limited to stock on hand.

 And….Remember the Monthly drawing is FREE to anyone that places an order with me. (Direct Delivery, or Pick Up in Cottonwood).a

Green Goddess

Happy Wednesday!  With the hot dry summer air, which seems to be much more daunting this year, I thought I’d share with you what I’ve found to be one of the best facial moisturizers (oils) I’ve found.  

As you know, I try most of the new skin care so I can let you know what I think of it.  BUT, it took me a while to get around to trying the Green Goddess Facial Oil.  Now I’m wishing I would have tried it sooner.  

I recently watched a training video about skin care, and Avon’s skin care expert. She said Green Goddess Facial Oil is one of the few products she includes in her daily routine, regardless of what else she is using at the time.  

So I figured it was about time I gave it a try, and I was not disappointed.  If I had to choose just ONE product, this would be the one.  

So how can you incorporate it into your daily routine?  Because it’s a lightweight OIL, Green Goddess should be the final step in your daily skin care routine.  Yes, it goes on after moisturizer.  Don’t worry, it’s lightweight enough, that it’s quickly absorbed into your skin.   

If you prefer a minimal, one product, skin care regimen, this is the one I would recommend.  I even use it over my SPF moisturizer, and my makeup perfectly blends into my skin. 

Since I started using it, My skin feels baby soft, and I’ve had a noticeable reduction in lines and wrinkles around my eyes and above my lips.  

Bottom line, this is definitely one of those “always keep an extra on hand, in case I run out”.

Campaign 15 is live 2021

I’m not sure this happened, but Campaign 15 is here.  (It somehow snuck up on me, so there will be NO mailing)

We Introduce NEW facial cleansers, giving us many more options to choose from.  And the belif line gets an expansion.  (Did you know the belif line is available from other retailers like Sephora, but at a higher cost

.

Summer Luxury Sweepstakes 2021

WOW!  I can’t believe this month’s sweepstakes.   I already entered for my chance to win. And I’m encouraging you to do the same.

Talk about Luxury. The package includes some of our Mission Luxe skin care.  (Our most luxurious skin care line, created with top notch premium I ingredients).  Some of our Elastine Hair care.  (Created with Royal Jelly).  Our Newly introduced Perioe Thera- Whitening Pen and strips for brighter, whiter teeth. A elegant watch and matching earrings.

This package is valued at $1010.  Yes to read that right, one thousand, ten dollars.  And it could be yours for Free.  That’s right,. You can enter the monthly sweepstakes without a purchase.  Simply go to Summer Luxury Sweepstakes enter your information, and hit submit.  It’s really that simple.  

Campaign 14 is Live 2021

Campaign 14 is here.  If you’ve been needing eye shadow, this campaign is for you.

We Introduce the NEW Eye Shadow Quads, in 10 exciting color palettes, The NEW Longwear Gel Eye Liners, and Longwear Gel Eyeshadows (My FAVORITE). One caution to remember, the Longwear Gels do NOT came with an applicator, so you’ll need an eye shadow brush.

Not sure of a color .. TRY IT ON – before you order.

I’m really liking this “try it on” tool.  I’ve taken a “selfie” of my face without any makeup and saved it to my phone, then I simply follow the directions and upload my photo as I “try on” different colors.   If you need help using the “try it on” tool let me know.

The winner of the Monthly Drawing for May is Betty Mader. Congratulations.

You can watch the video on the Beauty and Bluejeans Facebook Page.

What are ceramides?

There’s been quite a bit of talk about needing ceramides for your skin lately, but what are they exactly?

Ceramides make up over 50% of our skin’s composition in the form of lipids (fats). They are concentrated in the uppermost layers of skin–epidermis layer–and their roles are crucial for your skin’s health. Think of ceramides as the glue of your skin. This glue acts as a protective layer that holds our skin cells together.  Ceramides help limit moisture loss and protect against pollutants in our environment.

Ceramides have also been shown to effectively treat  childhood atopic dermatitis issues. Ceramides are naturally occurring and can be found in many food sources, especially in plants called Phytoceramides.   

Because ceramides are in the uppermost layer of your skin, they are also the most susceptible to our surrounding environments. Sun damages, environmental pollutants, and aging all reduce the effectiveness and amount of ceramides in your skin.

So how can you tell if your skin needs ceramides? Look for the signs. Envision a piece of paper that is held together by glue.  If the glue melts away you’ll see  dry, flaky pieces of paper. The same concept can be seen in your skin, without ceramides you might see dehydration, roughness, wrinkles, irritations, redness, and dryness.

But, don’t fear, Because ceramides are concentrated in the uppermost layers of skin–epidermis layer– applying skin care creams, lotions and serums that contain ceramides can be used effectively.  The ceramides are absorbed through the skin.

Check the ingredient list on your favorite lotion, cream or serum, does it contain ceramides?  If not, you can easily find one that does.  Remember, ceramides make up over 50% of our skin’s composition in the form of lipids (fats), and are an important factor in the health of your skin.

Campaign 13 is live! 2021

Campaign 13 is here!  It’s all about the launch of more Vitamin C products.  A lip scrub, lip treatment mask, and body serum.

Did you know?  Vitamin C – Also known as ascorbic acid, is an antioxidant that helps recover the appearance of  skin that’s become dull over.  With consistent use, it can help to brighten your skin and visibly even skin tone.

And don’t forget about the Monthly Drawing, for anyone that places an order with me. (Direct Delivery, or Pick Up in Cottonwood).

8 Common Laundry Mistakes You Might Be Making

As an Avon Representative, I receive weekly discounts from major brands and helpful emails as a part of our Avon Perks programs.   Last week the email included an interesting article

“8 Common Laundry Mistakes You Might Be Making”

For some, laundry is the best chore of the week. For others, it’s a frustrating and never-ending cycle of washing, drying, and folding that often gets put off for days. No matter how you feel about a good spin cycle, your laundry is an essential part of your chore routine. Yet, you may be committing some common mistakes that could be harming your clothes. Keep reading to learn how to avoid these classic slip-ups.

 

Mishandling Stains

The only thing worse than getting a stain is allowing a stain to set in, which can effectively ruin your clothes. Tackle it right away and avoid scrubbing at the new stain—this can cause it to spread and can also wear down the fabric of your garment. Gently blot and work at it from the outside, which will help contain it. Finally, when you wash it, avoid immediately drying without checking the stain’s condition. Once it’s dried, the heat will set the stain and make it much more difficult to remove.

Adding Too Much Detergent

Extra detergent means extra clean clothes, right? Wrong! Be sure to follow the instructions of your preferred detergent and keep a close eye on the line as you pour. Excess detergent can cause an accumulation of soap, leaving residue on your clothes and allowing for a potential build-up of bacteria.

 Incorrectly Preparing Clothes

As you load the washing machine, give each piece of clothing a once over. Any items with zippers should be zipped up, as the zipper teeth can snag other clothing as they move around in the washer. Keep buttoned shirts unbuttoned, sleeves included to protect the buttonholes. Finally, be sure to check any pockets for pens, lipsticks, and other items that can cause a nasty mess in the washing machine.

Ignoring the Dry-Clean Only Tag

Not all clothes can handle the washing machine. Check your clothing tags for “Dry-Clean Only” and don’t ignore this important instruction! They may seem fine, but a rough spin cycle can eventually damage certain materials, including leather, suede, silk, and items with embellishments

Forgetting To Clean Your Dryer

It’s common practice to clean out the lint filter after each dry, but when is the last time you cleaned out your dryer duct? Like the filter, lack of cleaning can be a serious fire hazard in your home. At least once a year, tackle your dryer duct by detaching the hose from the back and clearing out any lint or build-up.

Over Drying Your Clothes

You might be shocked to learn just how damaging over-drying your clothing can be! If possible, air-dry your clothes to preserve the materials that are often worn down as they’re dried over and over again and help keep their shape.

Incorrectly Sorting

How do you sort your laundry loads? Many opt for a simple light and dark clothing split, but the truth is, it’s best to go a few steps further. Sort by materials as well to get the best clean on all of your clothes. For example, make one load for heavy items like denim, one for lighter items like blouses and delicates, and one for bulky bedding and towels.

Leaving Your Clothes in the Machines

Laundry is a great “set it and forget it” chore but forgetting for too long can have consequences for your clothing. Leaving a load in the washing machine will eventually cause it to smell or even accumulate mold! As for the dryer, though mold isn’t an issue, the longer clothes are left, the wrinklier they’ll be when you finally take them out.

Whether laundry is a quick and easy chore or a necessary evil is still up for debate. But no matter your opinion on it, it’s important to do it right, for the sake of your favorite jeans, best work shirt, that perfectly worn-in sweater, and the rest of your wardrobe! Next time it’s laundry day, be sure to avoid these  common laundry mistakes.”

How many of the mistakes are you guilty of?   I’m guilty of at least half of them.- Incorrectly Preparing Clothes, Over Drying Your Clothes,  Incorrectly Sorting,  and Leaving Your Clothes in the Machines.

Farm RX Trial Kit

As Promised, My Review of our New Vegan Skin Care. I took the opportunity to Try our Newest skin care line with a 2 week trial kit, and I am SO impressed.

The Vegan Skin Care Collection, Farm Rx is created with natural plant-based ingredients for healthy skin. it utilizes an innovative Slow Herb Complex™, that has a blend of botanicals. Botanicals (plants) that thrive in dry conditions and are then slowly cold-brewed to extract antioxidants for peak efficacy. In addition to using Over 85 % Overall Natural Ingredients, it uses Safe synthetic ingredients to preserve the formulas. (Without those the skin creams and serums would mold and/or grow bacteria)

I was really interested in trying the Bakuchiol. WHY? I really like (Love) the line & wrinkle reducing properties of Retinol, but NOT the photosensitivity Retinol can cause. I am prone to sunburn already, and Retinol can increase my chances of getting sunburned.

What you get in the Farm Rx Trial Kit?

A 2 week (or longer) supply of the 4 Newest Vegan Skin Care Products  *Farm Rx Super Greens Cooling Gel, .33 fl. oz.
* Farm Rx Super Greens Multivitamin Moisture Cream, .33 fl. oz.
*Farm Rx Bakuchiol Serum, .17 fl. oz.
* Farm Rx Bakuchiol Eye Cream, .17 fl. oz

During my 2 week trial, I used the Bakuchiol Serum, then the Bakuchiol Eye Cream, then the Super Greens Cooling Gel, and Finished with the Super Greens Multivitamin Moisture Cream. I followed the routine both morning and night. And my results impressed Even me.

Before on the Left — and — 15 Days Later on the Right.

Over the 15 day trial, I noticed improvements in my skin daily. The first thing I noticed was the decrease in the Fine Lines above my mouth, That was followed by a decrease in the dark circles under my eyes. The Final thing that caught my eye was the decrease in lines at the corners of my eyes. Over the 2 weeks, another thing I noticed, was that my skin felt smoother when I touched it, even in the morning when I woke up. It also seemed like my makeup went on smoother.

Bottom Line, I am going to order the full size of the Farm Rx products. The Bakuchiol actually worked better than the Retinol Line Eraser that I’ve depended on for quite some time. (Well After I Finish the skin care line I was using before. I am also interested in what will happen if I stop using the Farm Rx for a couple weeks, and will let you know) In the mean time if you want to give it a try and let me know what your results are you can get it direct or message me and I’ll get it in my next order.

Campaign 7 is Live 2021

I’m impressed with our new addition, FarmRx – A Vegan Skin Care Line.  Making its appearance in Campaign 7.  

I’ll be sharing more this week about Vegan Skin Care in Blog Posts, and share my personal experience, complete with before and after pictures.

And, I’m continuing to work on the website beautyandbluejeans.com,.  With so many changes and challenges in social media (facebook, instagram, etc…) I’ve been working harder on the website to ensure I get information to you.

Basic Hair Care

With the discontinuation of some (most) of the Advanced Techniques hair care, many are asking me what we still have available for your Hair Care

We actually have several options.  The CHI  hair care shampoo and conditioner lineup was created exclusively for Avon with our partnership with CHI, a professional Salon hair care company.  Which means these two products are only available from Avon.  These happen to be my personal favorites.

Another option is our Elastine Branded products.  Under the Elastine umbrella, we have many options.  Our Botanicals shampoo and conditioners have been created from Natural plant-derived ingredients. We have 3 formulas available, moisturizing, volumizing and anti frizz. These are our lowest prices options, at under $5.

Also under the Elastine umbrella is our PropoliThera Shampoo and Conditioners, and even some styling products.  These are all created with a Beeswax, honey and royal jelly (what bees eat) blend that supplies vitamins and amino acids. These Include  a volumizing and a damage repair shampoo and conditioner. These are mid priced, but the bottles are larger making them a better overall value.

We have just recently introduced the HempharmX shampoo and conditioner.  It’s created from hemp oil, which contains omegas that are know to help moisturize and repair damaged hair.  These are among our higher priced shampoos and conditioners, but in a much larger bottle.

And for those with thinning hair, were offer Dr. Groot a shampoo designed to help restore your scalp and hair follicles resulting in thicker hair.

Campaign 6 is live! 2021

I’m so excited about the newest addition to our portfolio in Campaign 6 .  

Our popular belif lineup celebrates 1 year with Avon.  And did you know, even though you can find belif at other stores (such as “Sephora”) you can only get the special pricing through an AVON REPRESENTATIVE.  It’s just one more way, we are saving you money.

… I’m so super excited about the progress on

www.beautyandbluejeans.com. I’ve been updating, organizing products, and blog posts from the past couple years.  All in an effort to make it easier for you to find what your looking for.

AND.. (as if this message isn’t long enough already)…..

Pure Essential Oils,. Yes you read that right,. Essential Oils.  And we even have a diffuser to go with them.  PLUS,. We’ve added a few Roll On’s ready to use. (meaning the oils have already been mixed with a carrier, so they’re sale for you skin)

As Always, contact me if you have any questions..

What I’ve Changed Since Wearing a Face Mask

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I’ve been having problems with my makeup, especially my eye makeup, smearing when my glasses steam up from my mask. Yes, I’ve tried several tricks to keep my glasses from steaming up, but none really worked that great. So I started trying different makeup techniques to see if that would help, and this is what I came up with.

I First Start with a Primer, the Magix Prime Face Perfector was just what I was looking for. And, If you know me well, the added benefit of the SPF 20 was right up my alley. The Face Perfector helps to visibly minimize pores and my fine experience lines (as I like to call them). It just seems to blurr them away. I also noticed that it helps my pores tighten up, especially around my nose, due to the Rose Extract. My face also feels silky smooth with the added moisturizing benefits of Fleece Flower Extract.

I Follow the Primer with a Tinted Moisturizer, Yes you read that right, a Tinted Moisturizer. Never thought you’d hear me say that, but I like the lightweight feel, it’s sheer and I can build, or add more if I need more coverage. With a face mask on, the Tinted Moisturizer doesn’t feel as heavy as a thicker foundation did. I also like the fact that it helps keep my skin hydrated with Vitamin E and B5. Plus, it’s Infused with passion fruit, Chia seed and Sunflower Seed.

I finish up with a Powder. But not just any powder. I’ve shied away from powders the last several years, because they just seem to settle in lines & wrinkles, making them worse. But, the Magix Dust Finishing Powder doesn’t seem to do that. It’s a pure mineral powder with ultrafine minerals and gems – tourmaline, powder ruby and rose quartz. It also has green tea extract to smooth skin and enhance my natural complexion. And the fact it’s 100% naturally derived was a plus in my book.

With the latest information that we may be wearing face masks for the foreseeable future, Changing up my makeup seemed like a necessary evil. I mean, when you have something you like, it’s really hard to give it up. Going lighter with foundation, starting with a primer and finding a powder that didn’t enhance my “experience” lines has been a Change for the better.

So why Snow Cream?  When the Hydra Fusion was first introduced Hyaluronic Acid was somewhat “new” to skin care.  I say “new” because even though AVON already had a product with hyaluronic acid, it was emerging as a must have ingredient in many other brands. (Avon was just ahead of the mainstream skin care). So why hyaluronic acid? Hyaluronic acid, is a super hydrator that is naturally found in skin and lost over time.  It  holds more than 1,000 times its weight in water so skin looks smooth, refreshed and vibrant.

The Snow Cream is really lightweight, and is quickly absorbed into skin.  Kinda like snow melts in your hand.  It offers 72 (yes 3 days) of hydration, and even helps defend skin from environmental stressors to keep it looking healthy and glowing.  And you can get it for FREE.

This line was created to help reduce the signs of aging caused by our environment.  When the signs of stress starts to show,  the Anti-Pollution formulas  chill out your skin with the help of adaptogens: matcha, ginger and amla. But what are adaptogens exactly? These healing botanical extracts are used to help protect your body from environmental stressors and visible signs of pollution-induced aging.

Quality vs Quantity, Which do you choose?

My son and I were talking this past week about quantity vs quality.  Which do you prefer?  I’ve always been a quality type of gal.  I recall saving part from each paycheck right after I graduated from high school. Even though the majority of my money was gonna be used for college, I stashed away a little each week so that I could get a “boom box” for my college dorm room.  Sure I could have gotten a cheaper one, but I had set my sights on a particular brand with the features I wanted.  Shortly before summer ended, I had saved enough and bought the “boom box”.  PS… 30 years later I still have it, although I rarely use the cassette anymore, it still reminds me of the choice to spend wisely, the choice to spend money on quality.  Yes, over the years I’ve had other smaller and cheaper portable stereos, but those always seem to break.

It seems I’ve always leaned towards quality.  It just made more sense to me to spend my hard earned money on something that was gonna last, or something that made a difference.  Sure I could purchase in quantity, but then I would just have a lot of useless stuff laying around.  I have a tendency to purchase after some thought and research, so it’s not surprising I approach all my purchase the same way.

When I purchase consumable products, I also lean towards quality over quantity.  Sure I could buy lower quality but it’s been my experience that I just end up using more, or being disappointed with the results.  

When choosing what I use for personal care I research ingredients, descriptions and even reviews.  That way I can make the decision to purchase the best quality over the most quantity.  

If you’re looking for quality skin care, that’s tailored to fit your unique skin answer a few questions on our Skin Care Finder and discover what quality skin care recommendations are best for you.

Best Anti-Aging Skin Care

 A recent article published in the Insider online edition, listed the best anti-aging ingredients for skincare, according to dermatologists.  

Some of the best anti-aging ingredients for skin are ceramides, coenzyme Q10, green tea, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid.

You should also be sure to wear sunscreen each day, since protecting yourself from the sun is one of the best things you can do to prevent the appearance of aging.

Moisturizing ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid can help reduce the appearance of fine lines by hydrating and plumping the skin.

This article was medically reviewed by a board-certified dermatologist with a private practice in New York City.

So, when choosing skin care, it’s important to read the label, and see what ingredients are listed.

With so many options to choose from get your personalized recommendation with our Skin Care Finder.

Mascara That Stays Put, No Matter What

Is Back!!!!  I’m so excited.  If you’ve ever heard me talking about my favorite waterproof mascara, you”re gonna be surprised to hear me say it’s back.  The Face Shop Mega Proof Mascara was introduced about a year ago, and then pulled because it was difficult to remove, I mean really difficult to remove.  But wala, The Face Shop Waterproof Lip and Eye Makeup Remover effectively removes the mascara, and leaves your eyelashes soft.  But it’s really important to follow the directions, and let the makeup remover do it’s job.  

So, you can now get both of them in a dynamic duo, packaged for your eyes only.

The mascara allows you to create lasting voluminous lashes that hold up through a workout or a rainy day.  The sweat-proof, smudge-proof, formula is designed to stay-put. Then, safely wash them off with the waterproof lip and eye makeup remover.   The makeup remover is a gentle Bi-phase oil and water formula infused with a moisturizing blend of oils that leaves skin feeling fresh and clean.

Only available as a 2-piece set that includes The Face Shop Mega Proof Mascara and The Face Shop Waterproof Lip and Eye Makeup Remover. Remember you need to use both items together to help protect lashes when removing mascara.

Follow these Pro Tips for a perfected application and easy removal of waterproof mascara:

First,  Apply The Face Shop Mega Proof Mascara to one eye at a time, brushing and building the mascara to achieve the desired volume. Then move on to the other eye, this allows for a well-defined finish and for the formula to achieve the maximum results.

Second, Shake there The Face Shop Waterproof Lip and Eye Makeup Remover to mix the oils, then squeeze on to a  cotton ball, be generous, I saturate the pad. Place the pad on the eye area and let it rest for 30 seconds (do not skip out on the time) allowing the makeup remover to help dissolve the waterproof formula then gently wipe, AVOID RUBBING. Reapply again to remove any residual product. I always have to use 2 cotton balls to remove all the mascara. Then wash face as normal.

I’ve used this mascara for several happy, and several sad occasions, both of which caused me to get teary eyed to down right sobbing, and not once did this Mascara fail me, (when used properly).  

If you are looking for an amazing mascara, that stays put no matter what, you gotta give this a try.  And if your not completely satisfied, get a full refund.

Having Trouble Finding A Lipstick

Now that many of us are back into the routine of a new school year, is it time to update your lip color.  

With social isolation in effect, it’s more difficult to find that “perfect shade”.  I recently had a customer call to see if she could get some samples.  When I told her about the virtual “try it on” she was so excited.  She has tried 3 different colors, and just couldn’t find that perfect color.  

“Try it on” gives you the chance to experiment with different colors.  When I was experimenting, I found a couple colors that I would have never bought for myself, but really liked the way the color looked when I tried the “try it on” tool.

So how can you experience the “try it on” virtual lipstick tool.  It’s actually pretty simple.  

  1. Go to the E-Store, and when you open up a lipstick you’ll see the “try it on” button under the picture.                                                                                                            
  2. A) If you have the site settings set to block the camera, you can upload a photo of yourself.  (I have a selfie photo saved on my phone)                                                                                                                                                                          B) If your sight settings allow camera access, simply follow the directions on the screen
  3. Choose the color you want to “try on” and wala it shows up on your lips.                                                     

It’s really that simple.

If you’re looking for a “perfect shade” of lipstick give the “try it on” tool a try, and let me know what you think.

How do I fix my dry, cracked heels?

Recently, several people have asked me, “How do I fix my dry cracked heels?”. I  know it’s still summer weather, and that means sandals, but no one wants to have ugly cracks on your heel as you walk away.

In addition to the unsightly cracks, the pain is sometimes unbearable.  I mean, you can’t even step down on your foot without almost wetting your pants.  No kidding.  

If you’ve never experienced a dry cracked heel, then consider yourself lucky.  But, if you have, I totally understand, I’ve been there myself. 

First and foremost, the inability to walk due to the pain needs to be taken care of.  For me that means popping a couple Tylenol (well generic acetaminophen), and a 4% Lidocaine topical cream.  Yes, the same stuff, in a much higher concentration, the doctor uses before he stitches you up.   4% Lidocaine is the highest you can get over the counter.  I suppose you could use a topical benzocaine cream or gel (like what’s in orajel), but I usually have Cracked Heel Cream with 4% Lidocaine in my cupboard, so that’s what I use.

Once the pain is under control, and you can walk again, popping pills is not a long term solution.  So the problem of the dry, cracked heel must be fixed.  I have heard, and read about good results from a foot soak made by mixing warm water, listerine and vinegar.  I suppose any form of medicated mouthwash would work, and all agree, apple cider vinegar was better, but white distilled vinegar would also work.  The mixture should be equal parts of each in a basin large enough to put your feet into. You could probably also use an electric foot bath, the kind that is like a mini whirlpool.  

Now onto the soaking.  Believe it or not, soaking your feet for long periods of time is NOT recommended by podiatrists (foot doctors).  The main reason,  prolonged soaking can lead to maceration (which is when the skin has prolonged exposure to moisture and begins to break down).  That’s really the last thing you need, so limit the soaking.  My recommendation is about 10-15 minutes, but absolutely no more than 20 minutes at a time.

After you’ve soaked your feet, I use a foot or nail file rather than a pumice stone.  Many times the dry, cracked heel is harder than the pumice stone, so it’s of little effect to remove the dry skin.  You can purchase foot or nail files at almost any store.  I prefer a nail file that has a grit of 100/180 or better yet if you can find one with a grit of 80/100.

Now don’t expect this to fix your dry, cracked heels the first time.  It took a couple of months for your heels to get cracked, so it’s gonna take some time to get them healed.

Besides being unsightly, and painful, cracked heels could possibly become infected.  Although this is rare, the cracked skin could be deep enough to bleed.  Then you have an open wound to deal with.  Let’s hope yours aren’t that bad, but believe me when I say it can happen. My dry, cracked heels were actually at that point several months ago, but thank goodness they did not become infected.  

If your heels are cracked deep enough to bleed, I would skip the foot soak,  after all, putting your foot in a basin of water is just inviting bacteria to flow right into your open wound.

If your dry cracked heels are infected, the best remedy is a topical antibiotic.  Yes you could use something like Neosporin (or a generic triple antibiotic) ointment, but the latest recommendation from doctors is to use bacitracin.  The difference is that Bacitracin has 1 antibiotic in it, while Neosporin has 3 – Bacitracin, Polymyxin, and Neomycin.  (Some people may have allergies to the triple antibiotic, which affects healing). I actually use Cracked Heel Cream  it contains benzalkonium chloride, which is an antiseptic that is effective against a wide range of bacteria, yeasts and fungi. 

So now that we’ve discussed how to take care of the pain and cracks on your heels, it’s time to address the real problem.  

The answer actually lies in the question.  “How do I fix my DRY cracked heels?”.  Simple, add some moisture.  That can be in the form of a lotion, a cream or an ointment, but the key is to be consistent. (You can read about the differences in my post Ointment or Cream Which Should I Use)  For me that means every morning before I put on my boots, for you it might mean every night before you slip on your comfy slippers.  Regardless of when, it’s important to do so everyday until your heel is no longer dry and cracked. Since that day hasn’t come for me yet, I slather the cream on every morning.  The last thing I want to do is tiptoe around in pain because my heels are dry and cracked again. 

As with many other types of foot problems, fixing dry cracked heels is part science, part asking for suggestions, and part trial and error to figure out what works best for you.

The Holy Grail of Face Perfecting

Who has time to spend getting the perfect face each and every morning.  I certainly don’t, and I’m betting you don’t either.  What we want is a simple, quick, easy “fix it”.  Something that smooths out fine lines, tightens pores, blurs imperfections, reduces shine, and For me, I also want something that protects my skin from sun damage, and moisturizes. 

That’s a long list of demands. What if I told you, one simple, inexpensive product could do it.  I mean, offer shine-stopping, pore-diffusing, line-blurring and sun-protection in one simple, easy step.  Seems almost to good to be true, almost. 

Meet the holy grail of skin perfecting.  The Magix Prime  primer smooths the way for flawless, all-day wear. 

It’s like a magician in a tube.

With ingredients such as Rose Extract and Fleece Flower Extract it can Instantly create a soft- focus matte finish, that feels  weightless and sheer.  It has thousands of microspheres that perfect the small imperfections we all have, regardless of age or skin tone.  And guess what it’s colorless, so anyone can use it.

It can be worn alone, under your makeup, and even over your makeup.  What?  This really is a multipurpose, simple, quick, easy “fix it”.  And it doesn’t cost a fortune.  I know I’ve been looking for something like this, and I bet you have too.

Are you ready to embrace what lies ahead?

With the start of another school year, so many of us are hoping life gets back to “normal”.  But what does normal really mean.  For each of us, it had a completely different definition.

For me it means figuring out how to navigate in a new, different and exciting direct selling climate than it was 6 months ago.  Social, Face to Face interactions is what my business was founded on, and how I’ve been doing things for the past 7 years.  Today is much different.  Face to Face contact is now a thing of the past.  Social interaction is now a thing of the past. And yes, “Ding Don’t it’s Avon” is a thing of the past. 

So what does the future look like?  Over the past 6 months, that question has been asked again and again, with no precise answer.  

Now that school has started back up, some type of routine, some type of normalization, some type of moving forward is upon us.  But the lingering question in most of our minds is how do we get back into a routine, get back to being normal and get back to moving forward.

I think we must first grieve for the life we remember from before, because this new normal is not the same.  What was one out routine, what was one our normal, is no longer possible.  And just like all grief, we have denied there was a problem, we’ve been pissed, we’ve been depressed, we’ve even bargained – thinking of we could just “slow the spread” it would fix everything.  Guess what?  Our old life is gone, and now we are ready to embrace what lies ahead. (Well maybe)

So my question to you is, are you ready to embrace what lies ahead?  Are you ready to discover your new routine, discover your new normal, and how you’re moving ahead.

Drop a comment below, or even private message me.  I’m interested in learning how others are adapting.

Resurfacing Smoothing Fluid

Today’s in-depth, deep dive, review is Resurfacing Expert Smoothing Fluid.  Although, I don’t have much experience with the Resurfacing Fluid, (I have used one complete bottle), I can say I did notice a difference in the texture of my skin.  It felt smoother, which is what many of the customer reviews also claimed.  The other noticeable difference, for many who used it, was a decrease in the size of their pores. 

This silky smooth formula contains our concentrated blend of professional-grade anti-aging ingredients, including alpha-hydroxy-acids that are primarily used to exfoliate. 

Although, Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids (AHAs) are primarily used to exfoliate, they can also help promote collagen production, and help correct discoloration. AHAs can improve the appearance of surface lines and wrinkles even help prevent acne breakouts.

Studies have shown that Resurfacing Expert Smoothing Fluid is 79% as effective as a professional microdermabrasion (without the same irritation!).  It can transform skin to look younger, smoother and revitalized, as quick as overnight, and after 3 days, many noticed retextured, smoother and more radiant skin.  And it’s not sticky, or greasy and has been tested by a dermatologist.

The fluid can be used every morning and evening.  But those with delicate or highly sensitive skin may not be comfortable using this product, as the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids may cause irritation.  The fluid can be applied to the tips of your fingers, then smoothed upward and outward over cleansed, dry face and neck. 

As with all alpha hydroxy acid(s) (AHA), this Fluid may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and increases the possibility of sunburn. 

So if your wanting to find smoother skin, with less visible fines lines, try the Resurfacing Fluid.

Fuller, longer, thicker eyelashes at home

As we age, our hair begins to look thinner and appears to less full,  that includes our eyelashes and eyebrows.  What if there was a way to “reactivate” our sparse eyelashes and eyebrows?   Well there is, Anew Clinical Unlimited Lashes Lash & Brow Activating Serum.  With all the focus on thick full eyelashes, and eyebrows now you can get those lush lashes and full eyebrows without heading to the salon for extensions.  Yes that’s right, your own lashes, can appear full, lush and thick.

Anew Clinical Unlimited Lashes Lash & Brow Activating Serum  has a unique peptide blend enhanced with botanicals, and is designed to dramatically enhance the look of your lashes. 

During an 8-week consumer-perception study, 84% of women agreed lashes looked longer and fuller, and 81% of the women who participated in the study agreeded  their lashes were visibly healthier.   

Many began to see results in 4 weeks.  My own results really surprised me..

The biggest difference I actually noticed was in my lower lash line.  They appeared to be longer, and fuller. And the best part, at least for me, was how simple it was too use.

For  my lashes, I simply applied the serum to my upper lashes, just like I do my liquid eyeliner, every night.  I applied right after I cleaned and dried my face, before any treatments or moisturizers. I did not put anything on my lower lashes. The serum is transferred to the lower lashes when we blink.  The Activating serum is also economical, one dip into the vial is enough serum for both upper eyelids. My first tube lasted about 3 months, with daily use.  Since then I’ve been using it every other day or so.

For brows, the same theory  applies. One dip should be used for both sides.  The applicator is a thin brush, and simply apply  on clean, dry skin as you would a brow pencil to the natural shape of your brow. 

So instead of heading to the salon for extensions,  “reactivate” sparse eyelashes and eyebrows.  Give  Anew Clinical Unlimited Lashes Lash & Brow Activating Serum a try, as let me know if youe lashes and eyebrows appear fuller and thicker.

Has your face lost some of it’s contours?

As we age it seems we loose some of those contours that give our face a more youthful look.  That’s where the Infinite Lift Targeted Countouting Serum can help. The Targeted Contouring System lets you contour and combat aging with one action.  The serum is formulated with Polypeptide (a chain of amino acids) Lift Complex.  The complex helps to visibly lift and contour the skin on four key areas: cheeks, chin, jawline, and jowl.

Infinite Lift helps to counteract our skin’s natural tendency to sag with age.  The end of the tube has a unique massaging roller that not only massages the skin, but also allows the complex to be more readily absorbed into the skin.

This unique breakthrough fits perfectly into any anti-aging routine.  Wondering, where to fit this into your routine?  Since it’s as treatment, it should be applied after cleansing, before to moisturizing. The Infinite Lift Targeted Countouting serum helps gives you visibly lifted, firmer, natural-looking skin. 

This unique breakthrough fits perfectly into any anti-aging routine.  Wondering, where to fit this into your routine?  Since it’s as treatment, it should be applied after cleansing, before to moisturizing.  The Infinite Lift Targeted Countouting serum can be used both morning and night to help gives your skin visibly lifted, firmer, natural-looking skin. 

To use the roller, first, dispense Product onto the roller by gently squeezing the tube. Then using to roller in an upward motion  apply to cheeks, chin, jawline, and jowl. The Infinite Lift Targeted Serum works well with the Anew Platinum Skin Care System.

So, if you begin to notice a decrease in the youthful contours of you face, and an increase in the sagging, give this serum a try, and let me know what you think.

Needing an extra boost to your skin?

Do you ever feel like you just need a bit more from your skin care?  Like you need an extra boost to your routine?  If that sounds like you, I’ve found that added boost by using the Anew Clinical Extra Strength Retexturizing Peel

The perfect is Avon’s most concentrated pee. It’s like having a professional-grade treatment right at home. The formula is on an easy to use pad that helps to retexturize and resurface skin in one easy step.  

My first thought were doubtful, until I tried it.  My face looked  fresher, and definitely felt much smoother.  It also seemed like my fine lines around my eyes were smaller.  

The pads contain both glycolic acid, which stimulates collagen production, causing a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation in the skin by increasing cell regeneration.  An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), which had been shown to weaken the ‘cellular glue’ that makes dead skin cells stick together, encouraging exfoliation and revealing healthy, younger skin cells,” 

Our formula is Oil-free, fragrance-free, phthalate-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, and petroleum-free. It has been dermatologist-tested and allergy-tested.

It’s recommend to use the pads every other day (or less frequently if you have complications).  It’s best used on a cleansed, dry face. And the texture side of the pad is used against the skin.  The formula is designed to be left on the skin, so there’s no need to rinse.

Some people may feel a brief tingling sensation after application – a signal the product is already starting to work. If this occurs, wait 15 minutes after cleansing, or try using the product more sparingly.  The formula, due to the alpha hydroxy acid, this product may increase your sensitivity to the sun, increasing the likelihood of a sunburn.

So if you’re needing an extra boost to your routine?  Give the Retexturizing Peel a try.

Our first holistic approach to anti-aging skincare

Our first holistic approach to anti-aging skincare with skin-nourishing ingredients, is now available online.

Isa Knox Anew LX Ultimate Rejuvenating Serum is infused with,Phenol a trichloroacetic acid that is useful in penetrating through layers of skin to get rid of old or damaged skin.  Our unique extract, harvested at its peak from hand picked rare peonies and processed through an exclusive technology. The New formula is  enriched with anti-aging ingredients that are specially formulated to visibly diminish wrinkles and improve the appearance of skin texture.  It helps with skin tone and clarity, creating a rejuvenated look beyond the ultimate.

The New formula makes your skin look and feel lifted and dramatically tighter.  It’s been found to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Since this formula is so new, I haven’t even a chance to even try it. But 9 out of 10 women said it made their skin look and feel dramatically smoother,  based on a 7 day consumer preception test.  

In addition to the Phenol, an trichloroacetic acid I ingredient that has the ability to penetrate through layers of skin to get rid of old or damaged skin.  The formula also contains Ceramide, an ingredient known to protect skin’s moisture barrier while boosting hydration to keep it looking firm and smooth. It also contains Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – which helps to visibly tighten pores and diminish the appearance of dullness. Think we couldn’t fit any more in to the new Isa Knox Anew LX Ultimate Rejuvenating Serum, Squalane, has been shown to helps replenish skin for a soft, velvety, smooth appearance.

Helping to Soften Fine Lines and Wrinkles for over a Decade

It seems like the Clinical Advanced Wrinkle Corrector has been around for ages. (Well maybe not that long). But based on customer reviews, from over a decade ago, the Wrinkle Corrector had been helping women soften fine lines and wrinkles while plumping their skin for quite a long time.

It has something to do with 4D Wrinkle-Reverse Technology (I have no idea what that means) but I do understand that it visibly improves skin’s appearance and increases its elasticity. Based on scientific studies the results were seem in 28% of the participants.

On addition to softening lines and wrinkles the Wrinkle Corrector also helps restore and maintain skin’s youthfulness with plumping features included into the formula. It is Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, and has been tested for allergies and when tested by dermatologist

And it’s Free from Alcohol, phthalate, paraben, and sulfate.

Since it’s a treatment, it’s best applied to clean skin, focusing on those fine lines and wrinkles, and don’t forget about your neck. Although, the ANEW Advanced Wrinkle Corrector has  been helping women soften fine lines and wrinkles for over a decade, it is still just as effective today.

Two-in-One System For Eye Lift

As we continue our review of skin care products, I figured the clinical category would be the  best one to review next. 

Let’s start with one of the products I’ve seen good results from.  The Eye Lift Pro Dual Eye System is a two part system, a gel based and a cream based.

It’s actually a two-in-one system for a complete eye lift and for anyone wishing to help treat or prevent the telltale signs of aging, those pesky little lines that seem to creep up at the corners of our eyes.

The Eye Lift Pro has shown to provide  dramatic lift in about a week of continuous use.  The system helps make eyes look and feel dramatically firmer and can virtually erase the sign of aging on eyes. 

I almost immediately noticed a decrease in the fine lines at the corners of my eyes, and my

eyes felt tighter. Especially helpful on those mornings when I wake up tired from a late night the night before.

It’s also been shown to help visibly reduce the darkness under our eyes, and helps to keep eyes looking “wide awake”. And it helps with the sagging eye look we all experience from thing to time.

The formula has been allergy-tested, dermatologist-tested, and is even ophthalmologist-tested.  It’s also fragrance-free, alcohol-free, phthalate-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, and petroleum-free 

With all this it may seem like it’s hard to use, but in reality it’s actually quite simple.  As part of your regimen, first cleanse the skin, then apply Eye Lift Pro after your serum but before your favorite moisturizer. Simply apply the gel to eyelid and brow bone area then apply the cream to under eye area, including upper cheekbone. I always add a bit more to the corners on my eyes to help diminish my crows feet.  Yes it’s really just that simple to use this two-in-one system for a complete eye lift. 

The “Holy Grail” of skin care

Harnesses the power of retinol with Clinical Line Eraser.  Retinol is quite honestly the ” holy grail” of skin care treatments for anti aging and making fine lines and wrinkles disappear.  I try many skin care treatments so I can give accurate reviews, but after I have finished a series of treatments, I find myself returning to the Clinical Line Eraser

The formula is lightweight and fast-acting due to an exclusive Amino Acid complex that delivers wrinkle-fighting action. I also prefer to use something in a pump rather than a cream. That is just a personal preference, probably because I don’t have to do my finger into a jar everyday.

The Anew Clinical Line Eraser has been shown to be twice as fast  and is even more powerful at fighting wrinkles than a leading dermatologist-inspired treatment. And 100% of women that have tried the Line Eraser showed improvement in the look of fine lines and wrinkles

It is suitable for all skin types (normal, dry, oily, combination) and had even shown to be safe for sensitive skin.  Because it’s a pump the formula is lighter and glides on effortlessly and absorbs quickly.  Which is an added bonus.

Because of the retinol it had clinically been shown to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles in just days, not weeks or months.  This helps provide an overall youthful appearance.  I usually notice a difference within about 3 days off continued use.

As with all Avon skin care it’s free of  pathalates, parabens, sulfates,  and petroleum.  The Clinical Line Eraser is also Fragrance-free, oil-free, and alcohol-free. It has been tested for allergies, and is non-comedogenic (formulated so it does not block pores) and non-acnegenic. 

When using this retinol treatment, I apply to my cleansed face and neck Before my moisturizer. Although this formula can be used in the morning Retinol has been shown to increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and possibility of sunburn, Therefore I prefer to use it in the evening Only.  And I use a sunscreen daily. 

Because of the Retinol I recommend  limiting your sun exposure while using this product, and starting off  sparingly, using a tiny amount or only using the Line Eraser every other day until your skin accommodates.  Some people may experience redness and irritation with retinol, so I recommend doing a spot test, behind your ear, for a few days before applying to your entire face.

For me, Retinol is quite honestly my ” holy grail” of skin care to make fine lines and wrinkles disappear.  

Infuse Skin with Instant, Deep and Lasting Hydration

It’s a new, revolutionary combo of power-packed ingredients that infuses your skin with instant, deep and lasting hydration, and defends it from environmental stressors.  What could it be? Anew Hydra Fusion Nighttime Facial Treatment.. 

 It’s pack full of good for your skin ingredients. It’ss  formulated with hyaluronic acid, which as you already know if you’ve been following along with my blog, can hold up to 1,000x its weight in water.  Giving your skin an extra, extra boost of hydration. 

 This revolutionary formula also contains raspberry seed extract, a power antioxidant that helps defend skin from environmental stressors and protects skin from damage caused by free radicals.

In addition to the hyaluronic acid and raspberry seed extract,  shea butter beads and infused throughout the formula.  Shea butter helps to nourish and strengthen skin’s moisture barrier.  In the past Avon had another nighttime treatment with shea butter and hyaluronic acid, that was my all-time favorite bedtime treatment. This new revolutionary formula Hydrafusion Nightime is a perfect replacement.  In addition to the shea butter beads and hyaluronic acid, I loved, the raspberry seed extract helps protect and repair my skin from the environment.

And, of you’re looking for something that smells amazing, something that will help you slumber off into a good night’s sleep, the relaxing rose scent should do the trick.

I’ve told you what’s included in the formula, but let’s take a minute and talk about what’s not include.  This formula is Phthalate-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, petroleum-free.

With all this inclement in a single jar, it really is a new, revolution of power-packed ingredients that infuses your skin with instant, deep and lasting hydration.

The perfect serum for visibly plumper skin

Meet our highest concentration of moisture-boosting hyaluronic acid  Hydrafusion 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid .  It’s the perfect serum for visibly plumper, bouncier skin.  When I tried it I noticed how it just takes a small amount.Dispense one drop of the serum into palm. Using your fingertips, gently smooth the serum onto cleansed face in an upward and outwards motion, avoiding eye area. Even though I only used it in the evening, you can apply twice a day in the morning and evening, or use as needed to spot treat dry areas. 

Hyaluronic acid is a super ingredient that acts like a sponge holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water for intense, lasting hydration. It’s your rescue treatment for those extra dry areas that need saving!  

The  Hydrafusion 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid has three different molecular sizes of hyaluronic acid so it is able to reach multiple layers of skin’s surface.   

The serum had been shown to Instantly plump the look of expression/fine lines, so it’s also a perfect eye treatment.

As with most of the Hydrafusion product collection it is formulated with raspberry antioxidant, known to help boost skin repair that had been damaged from our environment and also protects against environmental factors that cause signs of aging.

As with all Avon products it is Hypoallergenic and has been Dermatologist-tested.  It is a perfect addition to any skin care routine of any skin type.

Snow Cream melts into your skin

While this might look like a hand cream, it’s really an incredible face cream.  Hydrafusion Snow Cream has a unique texture that seems to “melt” into your skin.  One gal told me she keeps it in her purse for those times throughout the day when she feels like she needs an extra boost of moisture.

Created with Hyaluronic acid- An ingredient that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water.  The Snow Cream can be used for immediate, long-lasting skin hydration and as a bonus it visibly plumps skin to conceal those pesky fine lines and wrinkles.  The hyaluronic acid, is a super hydrator that is naturally found in skin.  We loose  hyaluronic acid over time as we age, so when we replenish it our  skin looks smooth, refreshed and vibrant.

Another key ingredient, raspberry antioxidant, is known to help boost skin’s ability to  repair damage caused by environmental factors and stressors that we face in our everyday life.  The raspberry antioxidant also helps defend our skin from these environmental stressors to keep it looking healthy and glowing

Even though this unique “snow” cream is quickly absorbed it’s still able to deliver 72 hours of continuous hydration.  That’s a full 3 days.  It has been allergy and dermatologist-tested; hypoallergenic.

It’s recommended to be used in the morning and in the evening, after cleansing and using a serum.  The Hyaluronic Acid 1.5% would be a perfect match to use under the Hyaluronic Snow Cream and get that “melt” into your skin feeling right before going to bed, or first thing in the morning.

When your eyes are tired and puffy

Are your eyes feeling tired and looking puffy?  Then you’ve gotta try the Hydrafusion De-puffing Serum. It’s like having a magic wand to take the puffiness away.  As I noticed an added bonus of it minimizing the fines lines at the corner of my eyes.

With innovative ingredients 

Including hyaluronic acid, a super hydrator that is found naturally in skin. But as we age we lose this remarkable ingredient  that had been shown to hold more than 1,000 times its weight in water.  This super hydrator makes skin look smoother, refreshed and more vibrant.

In addition it also contains raspberry antioxidant, a potent ingredient that helps defend skin from environmental stressors.  This antioxidant helps to keep skin looking healthy and glowing

The unique ceramic tip helps cool the delicate skin around the eye for an instant refreshing feel.  Most notice results within 15 minutes.  And it’s also formulated with caffeine, to give an extra boost.

With so many amazing ingredients, it’s also important to realize what it doesn’t have. It is Oil-free, fragrance-free, phthalate-free, sulfate-free, and petroleum-free, therefore is suitable for sensitive skin.  It has been dermatologist-tested and is hypoallergenic. And it’s lightweight formula can be added with many skin care regimes.as your go to serum When your eyes are feeling tired and looking puffy 

A new revolution in skin care

Introduced a couple of years ago the ANEW Hydrafusion Replenishing Serum is a new revolution in skin care moisturizer.  It’s what your skin has been thirsting for with a collection of skin care that both hydrates AND defends. A revolutionary combo of power-packed ingredients infuses skin with instant, deep and lasting hydration, and it helps defend your skin from environmental stressors.

Avon was the first to bring cutting-edge microbubble technology to the mass market with this Replenishing Serum. Over 10,000 microbubbles deliver a pure and potent form of raspberry antioxidant.

The powerful yet lightweight formula infuses skin with deep hydration. My skin immediately felt smoother, and softer with the first use.  It’s even lightweight enough to use as a touch up in the middle of the afternoon, or evening.  And it’s effective even over makeup.

The formula Contains hyaluronic acid, which I understand sounds counter  intuitive to common sense, but hyaluronic acid is a super hydrato. It naturally occurs in skin, but is  lost over time.  Hyaluronic acid  holds more than 1,000 times its weight in water and leaves soon feeling smooth, refreshed and vibrant.  

In addition to the hyaluronic acid, the serum contains raspberry antioxidant, a potent ingredient that helps defend skin from environmental stressors.  This defense helps to keep skin looking healthy and glowing

Like all Avon skin care Hydrafusion Replenishing Serum is Hypoallergenic, Dermatologist and allergy-tested.  It’s also alcohol-free, phthalate-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, and petroleum-free.

This dual moisturizer can be included with any skin care regime both morning and night. I use it most often in the morning, to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes and upper lip areas. It really is a new revolution in skin care.

Gonna Add this one too my cart

So we’ve reached the last day of my  5 part “mini series” review of the Avon ANEW Vitamin C  product line.  Today I’m discussing the new Vitamin C Illuminating Priming Moisturizer (boy that’s a mouth full).

If you’ve followed along with the other blog posts, you already know how impressed I am with the Vitamin C line up, so you probably already have an idea of what I’m gonna say.   Well maybe not.  I have to be completely transparent, I’ve only tried this primer a couple of times, and I actually used another primer (Magix with SPF) over the top of it.  Not something I normally do, but it’s July, and I’m outside quite a bit.

So what does my website say about the Vitamin C Primer… It says, the vitamin C Primer “is made with brightening vitamin C and skin-smoothing silicones”.  So that explains why it seemed to fill in my fine lines.  “It is a revitalizing primer that instantly illuminates and hydrates your complexion for a healthy, radiant look. Its moisturizing formula blurs imperfections to create the perfect canvas for makeup application or a beautifully bare finish”.  It goes on further to say  the benefits include  – Enhances the staying power of your makeup, and you can wear alone or under makeup and that it can be used with any skin care routine.

So what did you think?  If you’ve tried the new Vitamin C Primer leave a comment, and let me know what you thought. I’m definitely gonna add this to my cart, and give a full bottle a try.

Fade Under Eye Dark Circles

Wow,. In a few short days I’ve already noticed a difference.  The dark circles under my eyes are already beginning to fade, and I think I’m seeing a decrease in the “experience” lines around my eyes.  

So what have I been using?  The New Vitamin C Eye Cream.  It was recently introduced by Avon, as a part of the Anew Vitamin C line. The best benefit is that It can be used with any skin care routine.

But don’t take my word for it.  During a recent survey, 88% of women showed improvement in under-eye clarity in 2 weeks. And it has a 4.8 start rating based on customer reviews.

Vitamin C has numerous functions when taken into our diet, but we’re you aware that it provides benefits to out skin also that include brightening, evening out skin tone and rejuvenating skin. As I said I’ve already noticed a difference in just a few short days.

If you’re looking for something to refresh your routine,  this eye cream might be just what you’re looking for.  

If you’ve already tried the Vitamin C Serum, you already know what effects Vitamin C can have to brighten your son for a more rejuvenated appearance.  This Eye Cream is formulated especially for the delicate skin around our eyes.  Go ahead and give it a try today.  And remember we have a limited time money back satisfaction guarantee.

#ShowYourGlow with this innovative Lip Treatment

If you are around me much, you’ll probably notice I have a white tube, of what appears to be lipstick, either in my pocket or some place close by.  My secret lip treatment is really the Anew Vitamin C Lip Treatment

 I’ll be the first to admit, I was sceptical when it was first introduced a couple of years ago.  I had been partial to Moisturizing Lip Treatment, and didn’t think the extra cost was worth it, until I tried it.  The Vitamin C Lip Treatment is packed with antioxidants, vitamins C and E, 5 unique seed and kernel oils and nourishing waxes.  And it’s Alcohol, phthalate, paraben, and sulfate-free. Like all AVON products, it has been Allergy and Dermatologist-tested and is Hypoallergenic

It’s had been shown to visibly plump and smooth lips with a smooth, colorless finish.

In addition to the tube I carry around with me, I have a tube in the bathroom, in my make-up bag for those mornings when my lips are drier than usual. I use the Lip Treatment under my lipstick.

 I have even used the Vitamin C Lip Treatment to help heal my lips when I have the occasional cold sore pop up.  With daily use, I’ve been able to reduce the size of the cold sore in a matter of days, with very little pain.

Even though I’m not a fan of citrus smells or flavors, I look forward to the light orange citrus scent of the Vitamin C Lip Treatment. 

#ShowYourGlow

My “Main Squeeze” for naturally Radiant Skin

I really wasn’t sure about the Vitamin C Warming Peel when it was first introduced.  The thought of something that got warm when it was mixed with water, was just strange.  But, I have to admit I’m really glad I got that first tube.  I’m now using my 3rd or 4th tube, and try to keep one in the cabinet in case I run out.

This has become one of my “main squeezes”  for naturally radiant skin. The invigorating face peel gently exfoliates skin, and as I mentioned it has a  warming sensation when activated with water.  Even though I don’t have much problem with acne or blemishes, it is very effective in cleaning pores and exfoliating dead skin.  That’s probably why it leaves my skin so much brighter.

It has a dual exfoliator as it combines vitamin C flakes and natural seeds to buff skin.  That helps to leave the skin instantly feeling softer and looking brighter. It has been Allergy and dermatologist-tested, and is free of Alcohol, phthalate, paraben or petroleum.

I keep it in my shower where I use it a couple times a week to cleansed skin. It’s really simple to use, I usually squeeze a glob into my hand, just to activate the warning sensation and then  smooth over my face, then gently massage  for a few minutes. I even massage onto my shoulders, neck line and upper arms.  I then rinse it off with the water from the shower, and finishing removing any remaining with a sponge.  

The reason I love the Vitamin C Warming Peel is the way it leaves my skin, super soft.

My Favorite Skincare Serum

Trying new soon care products is always exciting, nerve racking, and a bit scary.  As an Independent Avon Representative, I frequently try new skin care products to give me a better idea of which to recommend. I have to admit though, I’m still particular partial to Vitamin C Serum.  

It’s packed with as much vitamin C as in 30 oranges, this serum illuminates dull, tired skin to look visibly energized. I find that it absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel sticky like some serums can.

During a clinical study, 99% of women agreed it instantly boosts radiance and it’s clinically proven to brighten skin after the first use by up to 44%.  I noticed that my skin texture is visibly improved and my skin tone looks better.  Even though I’m not a fan of citrus, the serum has a light citrus & musk scent. 

Even though, the Vitamin C Serum can be used both AM and PM, after cleansing, I usually only use it at night. I simply smooth the serum gently over your skin in an upward and outward motion.

Knowing what good results I get from the Vitamin C Serum, I’m looking forward to trying the entire  Vitamin C Lineup

Which Foundation Should I Choose?

Which Foundation should I choose?  It’s really a matter of personal preference.  When I select a formula I take into account some important questions.  Do I want light, medium or full coverage?  Do I want a formula that is moisturizing, or do I need something to help control oil?  Do I want something that helps conceal experience lines?

With so many formulas available from Avon, I found it a bit confusing, so I did some research.

Light Coverage

If I  want just a hint of color, then  the Magix Tint  Tinted Moisturizer, is a perfect fit.

This  tinted moisturizer brightens  skin while blurring imperfections for an instantly better-than-bare look. It’s a “no-makeup” weekend makeup to enhance  skin without hiding it and showing off a naturally radiant complexion.

As an added bonus, it is paraben-free and contains botanical extracts to help soothe and calm skin with antioxidant benefits.

BENEFITS

• Instant moisturization

• Softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles

Before using a tinted moisturizer I allow time for my morning serum, treatments and primer to properly absorb before first. I apply a small amount onto my fingertips tips then blend on my face. 

Medium Coverage

When I’m looking for something with a bit more coverage.

Magix Wand gives medium Coverage, and I can use more for a fuller coverage. It’s so versatile, it can be used for full-face coverage or on-the-go touchups.  I particularly like the small, purse-friendly stick that lets me  conceal, highlight and contour, due to the 16 flexible shades. What’s the secret? Magix Wand has high-pigment, and a light-as-air formula to create a smooth canvas. It perfects tone and blurs flaws with a soft demi-matte finish.

And it’s simple to use just press the poof into the sponge compact and soak up  the pigment, then apply to your face for even coverage with a second-skin feel.

The Ink Lasting Slim Foundation

From THE FACE SHOP is a full coverage foundation. It imperative to shake  this formula before using it.  I didn’t the first couple things I tried, and my face felt really greasy and heavy.   I liked the full coverage that made my face look flawless. The formula felt a bit heavier on my face than the medium coverage formulas. The  innovative formula creates a smooth, natural matte finish, and  it didn’t settle into my lines.  And it is available in 18 shades

BENEFITS

• Buildable medium-to-full coverage

• Weightless, airy feel—no caking!

• Long-wearing

• Evens skin tone

• Available in 18 shades (all exclusive to Avon!)

Our newest full coverage formula is the Cashmere Complexion Longwear Foundation. I think the name says it all, my skin really felt cashmere-soft.  And I think it blurred the fine lines around my eyes.  I also found that it stayed put on my face throughout the whole day.

• Visibly blurs pores and fine lines for a smoother complexion

To watch the video  I created as in try on each formula, jump on over to my you tube channel.

After all my research, and trying each formula, I discovered both pros and cons of each formula.  Bottom line, I think the best way to determine which formula is best for you depends on the type of coverage you desire.  The great thing, you could give one a try and if you not satisfied, take advantage of our (limited time) satisfaction guarantee.

My Eyebrow Product Review

With so many eye brow products to choose from, which one is right for you?  I’ve been partial to the Ultra Luxury liner for several years, but even I have to admit, I prefer the newer (and better in my opinion) products we are introducing.  Watch as I demonstrate how I use each of them in my new You Tube Eyebrow Product Review

Our expert brow liner, Ultra Luxury Brow Liner, glides on with soft, smooth strokes to fill in and shape your brows for a natural look every time. Which is probably why I preferred it.  That and it has a rich, creamy color that felt almost powdery when I put it in.  I found out didn’t tug at my eye brows, I could get a precise application from the easy to sharpen pencil, and I got hours of wear that didn’t smudge.

Our Glimmersticks Brow Definer give perfect blendability and smooth, glide-on color that lasts for hours. Add in the fact that these are retractable, so there is no need to sharpen, and they are waterproof, smudge proof and long lasting. These are my favorite for on the go touchups.  Although I found the Luxury Liner to be a creamer formula than the Glimmersticks, I do like the retractable design.

One of our new Eye Brow Products is the Hi Brow Sculpting Gel.  The gel is designed to keep brows in place for 24 hours, with a Smudge-proof, flake-proof and water-resistant flexible formula that contains oil-controlling clay.  In addition to nourishing vitamin E and kiwi extract with antioxidant benefits, this formula is like using a tinted gel that made my eyebrows appear thicker, and I liked the tapered micro-brush. It’s almost like a mascara wand so you can build up the thickness by adding layers.  I found the gel kept my unruly eyebrows in place better than either of the pencils.

The Tattoo Station Proof Brow Pencil has a cream to powder type of finish and is waterproof. The pencil is retractable (it took a really long time to twist it out) and my favorite feature is a spoolie brush on the end.  I found the formula to be smooth, not as creamy as the Luxury Liner, but more so that the Glimmersticks.

Finally, my five star pick, the  Tattoo Station Proof Brow Pomade.  Which really surprised me, because I never imagined I would switch from a pencil. But wow. The applicator is so precise it looks exactly like thing hairs when applied.  The formula is ultra creamy, but not greasy, and stays on all day and night without any smudges. And the rich pigments in the colors look so natural, it’s hard to tell that I have anything on my eyebrows.  This has quickly become my favorite eye brow product.I did have a bit of a learning curve getting used to brushing my eyebrows first, then “painting” in with the pomade, but the extra time it takes me is worth the trade-off.

Stop Trying, Start Doing

Stop trying and start doing.

When you try again and again to do something you may be setting yourself up for failing.  Why, because when you try, you have the subconscious option of failing.  When you do something, there’s no option of failure.

Well at least I tried, should be removed from your vocabulary.  So often I hear several people, including myself, saying just that simple phrase.  So we give up to easy.  It’s easy to say I tried to save the money, I tried to loose the weight, I tried to pass the test….etc…

Now what would happen if we said instead, I’m gonna do it.  I’m gonna save the money, I’m gonna lose the weight, I’m gonna pass the test.  When we say do,  we begin to start the steps to make it happen, even if it’s not a conscious decision.

Screenshot_20200611-225126~2

There’s something about doing instead of trying, that automatically puts us into a state of mind when we can accomplish whatever we set out to do.

Basically it’s a matter of setting ourselves up for success, rather than giving ourselves the option of failing.  Setting ourselves up for success is really a matter of taking that first step.  Doing something, even if it doesn’t work, is better than just saying I’m trying. If what we do at first doesn’t work, the we simply do something else, and keep doing until we succeed.FB_IMG_1583246050318

How I managed my unruly eyebrows during a pandemic.

Are you still unable to get in to see your beauty expert, your hairdresser?  How are you able to manage your hair, and your unruly eye brows?

I tried shaping my unmanaged eye brows at home.  How did it go?  Let’s just say it’s a work in progress.

With many of us kept away from our hair dresser during the pandemic, it seems we have little choice in the matter.

I wondered where should I start.  I knew there must be some help out there someplace, so I started where I start everything, with Google.

They are many resources out there to help, each with some risk.  I discovered that pretty much all agree on a couple things.  It’s a matter of personal choice.  (Well that’s not much help), and everyone had their own opinion.

But before that, I found the most flattering length of my eyebrows with an old trick I learned many years ago.

Screenshot_20200616-061537~2

First, I discovered the inner and outer edges quickly with a straight line, I used a small skinny brush and held it next to my nose and lo need it up the inner corner of my eye. Then marked that spot with an eye liner.

Then I did the same to mark the outside corner, by creating a straight line from my nose to the outer corner of my eye, and marked the spot.

Screenshot_20200616-061603~2

To find the highest part of the arch I looked straight ahead and moved the brush to where the middle of my eye was. I marked that spot.

Now I had an idea which hairs did and didn’t belong. 

Screenshot_20200616-061615~2

Before I started plucking away, I used some cream that contained  4% lidocaine to help with the pain.

Screenshot_20200616-063224~2

After a few seconds, I began plucking away any hairs that didn’t fall between the inter and out edges.

To create the arch, I brushed the hairs down, then plucked the hairs  above on the inner and outer edges.  I then brushed the hairs up in the middle, and plucked the hairs that fell below.

I made a quick YouTube Video you can reference.

I have to admit, I used more lidocaine cream a couple of times during the process. It also brushed my eyebrows up and trimmed and really long hairs. It did take me several days of plucking, and shaping until I was kinda satisfied with the look.

I found a resource in Maybelline’s  Guide to Perfect Eyebrows, it gives you the ability to virtually try different eyebrows, which is pretty cool.

Good Housekeeping Magazine, has guide for 10 different shapes, based on your face shape.

Choose Your Own Lifestyle

Hard to believe it’s been 4 years since I took my life into a new direction.  4 years ago I would have been at work, yes even on a Sunday. I was working 50+ hours a week and missing yet another memory with my kids..

So much has changed since then.  Today, I spent the day with my family.  We took 4 wheelers and snowmobiles and rode to my parents property with the plan of burning some brush piles that we had stacked last fall.  Well long story short, we had an amazing day full of great memories, even though we didn’t get to burn any piles. With deep snow, getting stuck and even a blizzard  (when the falling snow and wind cause the snow to bite you when it hits), we just weren’t able to get it done.

But, the day wasn’t a waste.  It was a day filled with laughter, hard work and fun.  I even told my daughter-in-law “times like this is what memories are made of”. I mean I had grandchildren, my kids, husband and sister all along.  Who better to spend a day in the snow with. Just enjoying our time together. 

As I look back on the past 4 years, the new direction my life has taken is simply amazing.  I get to live these memories, instead of just hearing about them from my kids. I’m busy making these memories with my grandchildren.  

Years ago, it would have never crossed my thoughts, that I could schedule my work around my family, around those moments that make memories.  But here I am.

Want to find out if this lifestyle is something you might wanna try,  Drop me a quick email.

Does that sound familiar to anyone else?

I recently joined a 30 day business challenge.

So far the hardest part of the past week has been taking the time each day to do the activities. 

Does that sound familiar?

It’s not that I don’t have fifteen-twenty minutes a day, the hard part is to put myself and my business first.  

Isn’t it funny how when I take the time to do something for myself and my business, I feel guilty.  Like somehow growing my business and working on something I’m committed too isn’t as important as having supper on the table, getting the laundry done, or making sure the toilet is cleaned.

  Is it just me? Or does anyone else feel like that?

Tomorrow starts week 2, and I’m looking forward to more challenges, more activities, and more success…

Yay…I can do this…

“I was Country when Country Wasn’t Cool”

So what were you doing 35 years ago?

I was in the process of filling out scholarships and college applications. Why – Because I wanted to get OUT. I felt my life was meant for something bigger and better. And for a while that seemed to be what I yearned for. 

But in the words of a famous Barbara Mandrell Song”..I was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool.. Even though I didn’t know it, or even want it to be true.

I was raised with a rural, construction lifestyle in a small farming community, and I reside in the same community today.

As a teenager this is the last place I Believed I would settle down. This life is in NO way close to the life I envisioned for myself, decades ago.

Today my rural, work from home, spoil the grandkids type of days are what I yearn for.

Perhaps, Sometimes we need to thank God for Unanswered Prayers.. 

Anyone else feel the same way? I’d love to hear your story.

It’s times like this that make the best memories

Hard to believe it’s been 4 years since I took my life into a new direction.  4 years ago I would have been at work, yes even on a Sunday. I was working 50+ hours a week and missing yet another memory with my kids..

So much has changed since then.  Today, I spent the day with my family.  We took 4 wheelers and snowmobiles and rode to my parents property with the plan of burning some brush piles that we had stacked last fall.  Well long story short, we had an amazing day full of great memories, even though we didn’t get to burn any piles. With deep snow, getting stuck and even a blizzard  (when the falling snow and wind cause the snow to bite you when it hits), we just weren’t able to get it done.

But, the day wasn’t a waste.  It was a day filled with laughter, hard work and fun.  I even told my daughter-in-law “times like this that make the best memories”. I mean I had grandchildren, my kids, husband and sister all along.  Who better to spend a day in the snow with. Just enjoying our time together. 

As I look back on the past 4 years, the new direction my life has taken is simply amazing.  I get to live these memories, instead of just hearing about them from my kids. I’m busy making these memories with my grandchildren.

3 Days to Better Skin – Day 3

We’ve reached the final day of 3 Days to Better Skin.

Today our focus is on protection of our skin with sunscreen.  By definition, sunscreen is anything that protects our skin from UV Radiation before it has a chance to reach our skin.

We could cover all areas of our body, including our face, with clothing to block the damaging UV Radiation, but that is not realistic. At least not for me.  I use a facial sunscreen daily. The purpose of a sunscreen is to either absorb, scatter or reflect those damaging rays to keep them from reaching our skin.

No matter what the ingredients are in a sunscreen, if it’s labeled sunscreen, it is tested and regulated to meet the same set of standards.  The United States Food & Drug Administration recommends using a Broad Spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more.

Screenshot_20200209-131614~2

Watch on YouTube

A broad Spectrum Sunscreen protects us from all harmful UV Radiation.  A Non broad spectrum sunscreen, will usually only protect from getting sunburned.  It won’t protect skin from the underlying damage that UV rays can cause.

Sunscreens are rated by their Sun Protection Factor, or SPF.  The SPF helps determine how much longer you can stay in the sun before you get burned.  For example if a person can stay in the sun for 10 minutes before getting burned, than a SPF of 30 would allow that person to stay in the sun for 300 minutes (10 x 30) before getting sunburned.  

Although, sunscreen can protect and individual from sun damage, it’s effectiveness is as unique as the user and also depends on a person’s skin type, the application of the sunscreen and the water (and sweat) resistance of the product.

3 Days to Better Skin – Day 2

On Day 2 of 3 Days to Better Skin we are focusing on Preserving or skin. Another way of saying treating and moisturizing our skin.

The choice of moisturizers are limitless, and you can use different moisturizers in the morning and on the evening.  You can also use different moisturizers and treatments on different days off the week depending on what your son is needing.

Screenshot_20200209-123301~2

Watch on YouTube

I try to read the label, or ingredients listed on whatever I put on my face, as those different ingredients determine what a treatment or moisturizer will do for my skin.

If  skin is dry, focus on the left ingredient of hyaluronic acid, an ingredient that helps to boost the moisture in skin.  But what happens if skin has lost its firmness and definition, peptides and caffeine may be beneficial.  the Anew Platinum Skin Care system seems to help with this problem.  To help diminish visible pores you might try a moisturizer with lactic acid, or something with a  Vita Tone Complex.  

To help improve radiance, and brightness my favorite skin care Ingredient is Vitamin C.  I use vitamin c serum every night.  But what happens if you have blemishes or acne?  Then the best ingredient to look for is Salicylic Acid.  

As I said, I use different a treatments and moisturizers on different days, and I  So how do I know what to use first when using more than one product. General rule of thumb.. lightest to heaviest.

To determine which is the lightest, I’ll put a small amount of each product on my arm.  Which ever one runs first is usually a lighter formula, and so I put it on first. Wait a bit (about 30 seconds) and then use the next one.  Another rule of thumb to use is usually a serum is lighter than a cream.

You can choose to use several different moisturizers or treatments, depending on the time of day (am or pm) or even different days, but it is recommended to limit use to 2 different products at a time.  More than that will probably not be absorbed into your skin.

3 Days to Better Skin – Day 1

Day One of 3 Days to Better Skin focuses on Prepping your skin. Another way of saying, cleansing your skin.  

In the evening it’s important to cleanse our face to remove all the dirt and grime we get on our skin from the environment.  It also prepares our skin for any treatments or moisturizers, and enhances the effectiveness of those treatments and moisturizers.

Screenshot_20200209-123245~3

Watch on YouTube

There are many types of cleansers, as each has pros and cons.  But the bottom line is, it depends on your personal preference.  We each have our own unique skin care needs, and preferences. 

We have several  choices of cleansers to choose from.  A foam cleanser, is just as the name implies.  It is usually in a pump type of dispenser and comes out in a foam type consistently.

Wipes are often more convenient to use.  Wipes can be used to quickly remove makeup, and are simply tossed when finished using them.  The convenience of use makes them perfect for me to use when camping.

Another cleanser I keep in my camping bag is micellar water.  micellar water is simply water that has tiny micro molecules of oils that attach to dirt and grime so they can be removed from the skin. To use micellar water, simply put on a cotton ball and wipe over your face.

Another type of cleanser is a cream cleanser.  These types of cleansers are usually more moisturizing to the skin, as compared to the soap types of cleansers.  

My personal preference of cleansers changes, deepening on several factors.  Where I am, what type of mood I’m in, as even how tired I am before bed.

When was the last time you updated your skin care?

One of my favorite quotes.  

But, why does it seem as we get older this is so much harder to accept.  Is it because trying something new is uncomfortable and inconvenient.

I think we simply get stuck into a routine or a habit and it’s really hard to change our routines and habits.

I find this so often when talking to women about caring for their skin.  Let’s face it, our skin changes over time. As we age, our skin also ages, thus requiring a  Different Routine.

As skin ages we begin to see fine lines (experience lines) around our eyes.  I swear my fine lines appeared the day after I turned 30. But we often fail to adjust our skin care to address those concerns.

In reality the skin care needs of our 30+ year old face, and those of our 20 year old face are much different. So why do we continue to use the same things on our skin, and expect them to still work. I think it’s because trying something new is inconvenient.  After all, we already have our routines, and changing our habits are hard. But if we continue to follow the same routine, We will just be getting the same results, and unfortunately that is not what our skin care needs.  

So the bottom line is, we need to change our skin care routine as we age.  Don’t know where to start making the change? Answer a few Quick Questions to get you started in the right direction.

Remember, if we change what we’re doing, we’ll probably get different results.

 

 

New Year brings Something New

As we prepare to ring in the New Year, I’m “heading back to work”.  I took a couple weeks off the end of  December to reflect on the past year, and prepare for the new.   Yes 2019, is about to come to an end, and for me personally it was a pretty eventful year.  And not in a good way, but let’s not dwell on the past.  I’ve always believed that out experiences, even our hardships prepare us for person we become, so here’s to the next steps, and a prosperous New Year. For those that order Avon though my website, I  just wanted to let you know that beginning in January, the Free Shipping with a $40 Direct Delivery order from www.youravon.com/nuxoll will be changing to Free Shipping with $60 Direct Delivery order Join my email list below to receive special Free Shipping, Updates on New Products, other perks and coupon codes for special discounts www.youravon.com/nuxoll   as they become available.  As we begin the New Year, Avon is bringing new cutting edge skin care, overall beauty products, and I’m so excited to share these with you.  I’m personally trying as many of the New Face Shop and other New Innovative products as I can.  So far, I’ve been very happy.  Yes these are a bit more luxurious than I usually buy for myself, after all I spend the majority of my life in Bluejeans.  But, so far, I’m discovering that the results I’m seeing from these luxurious products are well worth it.

Natural Skin Care

For many years I’ve looked for a company that combines nature and proven skin care.  As we age, there are many things that wreak havoc on our skin. Not to mention what we do ourselves.From skin care that is actually harmful, to those yesteryears of “laying” out in the sun to get that golden skin look.  How many remember slathering on baby oil, “sun tan oil”, or even a local favorite, margarine, to get that bronzed skin from the sun.  Little did we know, that with each of those adventures, we were actually damaging our skin. Each time we got a shade darker, it was actually due to damages in our skin. Now that we are older, and wiser, I dread the thought of stepping outside without some type of sunscreen on my skin. So, now what do we do?  How do we repair the damage those past, natural tanning, adventures caused our skin.   I was recently introduced to skin care products, that are created with natural ingredients. Inspired by nature and its rich elements in sustaining life, The Face Shop unfolds nature’s boundless secrets and delivers the gift of vitality to your skin. Rooted in its core principles of naturalism, value and variety, THE FACE SHOP is passionately devoted to providing the best beauty assortment for natural beauties around the world.

What ages your skin faster than time?

As we age we all try to combat the signs at maturity.  We may try an anti- wrinkle cream. We may try a youthful serum.  Some may even try surgical procedure. If I were to tell you, we might not have to resort to all of that to keep our skin looking young, what would you do.  I know most of us would say,. Yes! I want to learn more. Well, not to burst your bubble, but for some of us, Especially those of us that grew up in the 70’s and early 80’s, we may have missed the boat.  That’s not too say we are hopeless. But we may have damaged our skin more that we even know. So what am I talking about?  Did you end lay out on a summer day slathered in baby oil?  Or maybe you used butter or margarine. What were didn’t know at the time, but have since learned.  We were actually damaging our skin. Those amazing, deep golden brown, tamed looks that we all tried to achieve in our youth, probably caused damage to our skin.  The culprit is the harmful rays from the sun.  That’s because the sun gives off ultraviolet (UV) light that damages your skin and causes dage.  Over time, these rays can lead to wrinkles, dark spots, and other problem areas. The result: You can add years to your looks.  Research shows that UV exposure is the reason behind 80% of your skin’s aging. What?!.  Can you believe that? So it may seem hopeless for some of us, but wait. We can reverse some of the damage with at home treatments.  And we have several options. According to a 2018 article in Healthline we can use at home treatments to help eliminate the signs of sun damage on our skin.  Several of these we can easily find around the house. Aloe vera, Vitamin C, as Vitamin E, apple cider vinegar and even tea (green and black).   We can also easily get creams to help combat the damage done to our skin.  Look for creams containing glycolic acid, hydroxy acid, hydroquinone, kojic acid, or deoxyarbutin.   pwp-marketing-promo-skin-care-finder If your like me, there are so very many choices of creams and serums, it can become confusing.  If your serious about reversing the sun damage to our skin you’ll need to first find a cream(s) that you are committed to using on a regular basis.  The Skin Care Finder will help you identify a starting place, and give you some ideas of what products are right for you.   Having the right creams or serums is not enough, you need to make a commitment to use the products.  It needs to become a habit, a part of your daily routine. Just like brushing your teeth.

How do I pocket money in direct sales – part 2..

In my last blog I talked about how you can put money into your pocket from direct sales.  We even broke down the cost of doing business, which included the purchasing of catalogs, office type supplies, fuel and the products themselves.   The model we used was  $100 in sales, with a 20% commission (or discount) on products, $10 for catalogs, $5 for office supplies and $5 for fuel.  If you do the math it’s easy to see that the $100 in sales is completely used up for the cost of doing business. Now let’s figure out how you can actually put money in your pocket. The way to put actual money into your pocket is to sell more.  Using the figures above, of you sell $200 you’ll actually pocket $20.  Based on the fact that you already have the catalogs, office supplies, and chances are you can deliver a couple orders to the same place. Now, what would happen if you sold $300, you could potentially pocket $40.  Although that doesn’t seem like a bunch of money, if you only spent 2 hours that becomes $20 an hour. As you can see, it’s really not about making easy money, it’s more about getting the large orders.  If your only selling a small amount, then direct sales probably isn’t a way to pocket big money. Bottom line, if you want to make money, you have to put in the time.  Just like any other sales job based on commissions, the more time you put in getting the sales, the more money you pocket.
