Beauty Bonus! Get it while it's hot!

Wanted to give you all a heads up on the latest super special at AVON! This 7 piece beauty blockbuster is worth $100 and you can get it for a very limited time for only $16.99.

Yes, there is a catch. You have to buy $10 worth of select beauty products to get the $16.99 deal, but when you think of the savings, that's pocket change. Another bigger with the deal - FREE SHIPPING! That's my favourite word.

[Seriously, I hate buying like a $8.00 product and then pay $7.50 for shipping or something. Although AVON charges something under $4.00 for shipping, or something like that.]

So, check out what all the goody back has, then head over to AVON and pick it up before they run out.

[That's not a sales gimmick. They really do run out. Trust me on that one. There's a number of products I've sadly missed out on, even as an AVON rep, because I didn't jump the gun fast enough. Yes, even us AVON reps lose out now and then. : ) ]

Product Comparison: Gold Bond Ultimate vs AVON's Intensive Hand Cream

I recently pit these two hand creams against each other. My hands were sore, dry and cracked, so while I was at Walmart I picked up Gold Bond Ultimate. I chose it because it's an old brand that is really good and reliable. After I got home, the idea dawned on me to pit it against AVON's Intensive Hand Cream.

My results: My hands were in such bad shape that the Gold Bond stung like crazy. My hands were really red and splotchy afterwards. BUT! I liked the feel. It wasn't greasy.

Later that night, I pulled out the AVON Intensive Hand Cream from my little store and tried it. First, I have to say I really don't like how thick it is. It's heavy. It's thick. It's greasy. On the other hand, it feels quite soothing when you put it on. And it softened up my hands overnite when wearing cotton gloves.

So, here's the run down on the two products:

Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Cream:

* Customers who have used the Gold Bond like it better than Jergyns, Vaseline, Aveeno, Nivea and Eucerin.

* It has a pleasant scent.

* Some like it because it's thick so you don't have to re-apply after each wash and it's not greasy.


AVON's Intensive Hand Cream:

* Like Gold Bond, AVON's Intensive Hand Cream doesn't have to be reapplied after washing.

* Like others, I agree that it's too greasy for daytime use.

* It's used by cosmetologists, because of their hands being in water so much of the time and washing away the natural oils.

* Hospital tested.

Technically, like with every product you need to try them yourself. Everyone's skin and experience is different. After my hands healed up, I found Gold Bond's to be great. So, you might find Gold Bond is perfect for you. You might find you like AVON's product best. My suggestion? Get them both and put them to the test. Let me know what your experience was!



Make it a great week!

Don't Be Sorry! Avoid Embarrassing Moments at All Costs.

What's in your purse? How big is it? Some women like really big hand bags and others like them small. Some go for the one's with lots of pockets. Then there's the women who prefer to go backpack or fanny pack style. No matter what your preference there's just some things a woman should have on hand to avoid those embarrassing moments that according to Murphy's Law, will get you when you least expect it.

To help you avoid those situations, here's list of the absolute essentials:

Cosmetics:

1. Lipsticks and lip gloss
2. Eyeliner and mascara and an eyebrow pencil
3. Powder (to tone down the shine) and blush

(AVON's mark flip-for-it kit has lipsticks, lip glosses, blush and eyeshadows all in one unit. It's the perfect space saver)

Dont' forget to have a small mirror. That can be an easy one to forget. You can always rely on the one that's in your powder compact (if that's the type you use) but I find it handy to have just the small mirror itself.

For the hands:

How many times have you had to ask a co-worker for nail polish (runner in hose) or a file? It's time for you to be the one people who aren't prepared go to:

1. Nail file.
2. Nail clippers.
3. Nail polish.
4. Spare nails (if you wear fakes)
5. Hand lotion.

Hair:

1. Always have a brush or comb on hand.
2. Clips
3. Hair elastics
4. Band or scarf for those windy days
5. and of course hair spray

Odds and Ends:

1. Your favourite perfume.
2. And of course the usual: cell phone, etc.
3. For those of you who work in an office setting, don't forget that extra pair of hose!

And there you have it! The essential woman's survival kit!

AVON Product Review: Cleansers for 30+

Name of Product:

ANEW Rejuvenate Revitalizing 2 in 1 in Gel Cleanser.

 

Where You Can Buy It:

AVON product #510-271

 

Product Description:

1.  Deep cleans and tones

2.  Rejuvenates fatigued looking skin.

3.  Continued use improves skin texture and makes pores look tighter.

4.  Visibly reduces lines.

5.  Dermatologist tested.

6.  Allergy tested.

 

Who This Product is Intended For:

The ANEW Rejuvenate Revitalizing 2-in-1 Gel Cleanser is designed for women in their 30’s or even late 20’s who are experiencing early signs of aging. 

Early signs: Dull skin, fine lines and enlarged pores.

 

Pro’s:

1.  Unlike soap, it makes your skin feel clean and residue free.

2.  It’s both a cleanser and toner combined, thus saving you money and time in the morning.

3.  Gentle on your skin.

4.  Deep cleansing helps control blackheads and breakouts.

 

Con’s:

1.  Some customers who have tried the product say if you have very dry skin, you may want to dry a different cleanser.  Others say it doesn’t dry out their skin.

2.  A very small minority of people who are very sensitive to fragrances, think the fragrance is overwhelming, but the majority really like it.

3.  If you have very sensitive skin and know the sensation of feeling like your skin is burning after you’ve used either a cleanser or even a moisturizer, you might experience it with this.  Again, it’s rare, but like with any other product it does happen.

4. It doesn’t remove make-up like water-proof mascara.

 

Personal Opinion:

Everyone’s skin responds differently to every product on the market.  The same goes for this.  If you look at the Pro’s, remember that some users have experienced the opposite.  If you look at the Con’s, remember that some users have experienced the opposite.

My mom, who’s in her mid-70’s, loves this product, which is designed for people 40 years younger.   If someone else in her age ranged used it, they would probably wonder about her sanity.

I read a lot of product reviews before I ever decide to buy something.  But in the end, the only way I know if the product is worth anything is to try it out myself.  If you don’t like it, you can return it to AVON for a full refund. 

Where You Can Buy It:

AVON product #510-271

Holiday Fat loss Tip

Welcome to the season-of-eating! Can't ya just feel that waste line expanding even as you read about it? It could just be me because I just downed a couple slices of homemade soy burger veggie pizza. It was delicious.

Anyway, here's some very, very simple tips to help you avoid the big weight gain of the holidays!

1. Watch what you drink. Sometimes our biggest source of calories comes from what we drink. Drink the ol' eggnog (who can resist), but watch how much.

Try flavoured teas like Bigelow Pumpkin Spice, Celestial Seasoning, or Lipton teas. Use a little local honey to sweeten it instead of sugar.


2. Eat until you're comfortable, nothing more or less.


3. Take a 10 leisurely walk after you eat.


4. Cut back on your carbs. A sure fire way for me to put on the pounds is to carbo load. Focus more on proteins and veggies and be careful how much pumpkin roll, pies and other desserts you eat. Enjoy, but don't overdo it.


Another thought on that. I have a nasty habit on Shabbos of saying, "Yea! I get to eat today and not worry about how much." Problem is - it's hard to behave the next day...and the day after that....and the day after that. Get the feeling I love food?


5. Avoid carbonated beverages. They're chock-a-block full of sugar. Ok. I hear you. The punch is delicious. So, have some! Just not 8 glasses full. Stick to one or two.

Now what about that pic in the upper right corner. That doesn't look one bit like a turkey to fit the season of eating. I know. I didn't want to tempt you. So, I posted the Curves Hot and Cold Combo: Portion Control. It fits the season of portion control. It's also a perfect little kit to take to work or school with you, because it's compact and yet helps you stay on target and not over-eat. It also makes a terrific gift!

Also, as a special treat - you can pick up "The 5 Secrets to Burning Stubborn Female Fat and Boosting Metabolism." for FREE! You get a terrific workout program and there's photographs that show how each move is done! Enjoy!
