Avon and MaryKay: The Reinventing Geniuses!

Remember the days of AVON Calling? Or seeing numerous little ladies carrying those pink cases in the hope of driving that Pink Cadillac, or wondering who the hell is MARK? Although the core of their brand remains the same these companies have had a complete Make-over. With the introduction of Mark, improving formulations, and using the latest in skin-care techniques, Avon even has a Acne treatment system, attending those AVON and Marykay parties won't be so bad afterall.

So I know you have been invited to a few and have been dreading going...DON'T. I will give you a few pointers on what to buy that will make you happy as well as your hostess!

AVON Calling: 

1. While I don't not think there will be an over-the-counter solution to Stretch Marks this comes pretty close and makes a perfect gift for your pregnant friends; Anew Clinical Professional Stretch Mark smother.  The formulation uses a "TriLaser Technology" which really visibly reduces the appearance of stretch marks but even better helps prevent New ones from forming (thank goodness). The TriLaser Technology is designed to not only boost elastin in the skin but to stimulate collagen; while using, and you know this is my favorite part, Glycolic acid to smooth the surface of skin and even the tone and color of existing stretch marks. I have been using it for about 2 months and I have seen improvements in the deepness and visibility of my stretch marks. I was surprised looking forward to next summer! LOVES IT!

2. Avon's Pro-To-Go Lipstick: This product is only $5.99 at most parties and worth the buy. I love cute inventive packaging and this is one for the record books. The design lets you open, and apply and close the lipstick all with one HAND! While would never promote putting on make-up while you are driving lets be honest we all do, and this will make it easier.  Slide the button and the package opens and the lipstick appears! Apply this colorful moisturizing balm, you have no cap to remove or drop. Slide it open. Put it on. Slide it shut. Done! They come in 14 beautiful shades, I like Sweet Brown and Warm Pink.  "It is the lipstick that lets you take on the world single-handedly!" LOVES IT!  


3. I am always looking for something to replace Microdermabrasions especially now and here is another option. Avon's Anew Clinical Advanced Dermabrasion System.  It uses the same aluminum oxide crystals used in an in-spa Microderm treatment. It's a four-level at home system, it treats dullness, enlarged pores and discoloration. Starting with Level 1, use 2–3 times a week for 2 weeks before proceeding to the next level. After completing all 4 levels (8 weeks) stop using for 2 to 3 weeks and then start over at Level 1. It's pretty serious skin-care results at Level 2 I really noticed a huge difference in the texture of my skin it was glowing.  LOVES IT! 

4.  I love Avon's Mark Line it's hip, now and the products can be seen all over the red carpet! Right now I am in love with their For goodness face Antioxidant Skin Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30. It is my day moisturizer. This formula is light-weight so your face won't feel heavy and it's oil-free. Not to mention it protects against the sun! It softens uneven skin texture and helps prevent the onset of wrinkles (never to early to start preventing), leaving skin smooth and protected. This formula is also quite yummy! "Rich in natural antioxidants and essential plant extracts of “superfruit” blueberries, “superfood” dark chocolate and Canadian willow herb, along with an anti-ozone complex to nourish, protect and comfort skin." Yummy chocolate LOVES IT! 

5. I love the Cute names for Mark products so hip so now especially these Gems of a find! Mini Mark It Hook Up Stick for lips. These were seen on the Red Carpet for the Emmys on almost every starlet. These are too good too be true!  It's a gloss in an easy-to-use lip pencil no kidding! It glides on for an easy application and provides sheer color pigment. Available in six gorgeous shades, my favorite is the Plummy Pearl! If you like these try the Mark It Up Sticks for Eyes too! You won't be disappointed it! LOVES IT! 


MaryKay:

1. MaryKay Mineral Eye Color: I must be honest and admit that I have never been a real fan of MaryKay I always found their products oily and behind the times; however my perception of them changed as they have really transformed and reformulated products! One thing I loved right away was the Mineral Eye Color, Yes Mary has mineral make-up too and her line is pretty doggone great! The Mineral Eye make-up is a long-lasting mineral-based eye color, providing fade- and crease-resistant coverage when you need it most. Mineral Eye Color is truly a multitasking makeup, available in 28 vibrant matte and shimmery pearl shades to complement all skin tones. This product blends effortlessly for quick transition from subtle to sultry looks. The inclusion of Vitamins A, C and E helps protect against wrinkle-causing free radicals. LOVES IT! 

2.   A friend of mines who sells Mary saw my write up on BareMinerals and immediately sent me the MaryKay's Mineral Powder Foundation. Well no need to hold your breath girly I Likey! The consistency is lightweight and buildable, Just like BareMinerals, allowing you to determine your own preferred coverage level and desired color impact. Mineral Powder Foundation controls shine and instantly conceals minor skin imperfections, helping to create a glamorous finish. The only thing I wish is that they came in a wider variety of colors. However, if you find your fit Lucky You!
