Anew Clean Comforting Cream Cleanser and Mask

Recently Avon discontinued one of my favorite cleansers.  It did an awesome job and I thought, well what am I going to use now?  I began my search and ordered a sample of the Anew Clean Comforting Cream Cleanser and Mask.   I've been using it and really like the way it cleanses and how it makes my skin feel.  

This Anew Clean Comforting Cream Cleanser and Mask cleanses skin of dirt, oil and impurities, helps reinforce skin’s protective moisture barrier to keep skin feeling resilient, and preps skin to receive the optimal results for Anew moisturizers and treatments. 

BENEFITS 

• Effectively cleanses skin of makeup, dirt, oil and impurities
• Rinses easily and tissues off easily without leaving greasy residue

• Softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles*
• Makes the appearance of pores look smaller*
• Suitable for twice daily use
• For normal/dry skin

TO USE • As daily cleanser: Wet hands and face. Work a small amount of cleanser into a lather and massage into facial skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. 
• For best results, use AM & PM and follow with your Anew treatment and moisturizer. 
• Can also be used with the Anew Cleansing Brush.


You only need to use a very small amount of the Anew Clean Comforting Cream Cleanser and Mask.  It foams and does a fantastic job. This cleanser should be used and followed by Anew moisturizers as well.  I use the Avon Anew Ultimate Day and Night Cream. My face has never felt so clean and healthy.  It even removes mascara easily.  Find a cleanser that you like or contact me and I will help you figure out what is best for you.  On sale currently for $5.99 - order today at my eStore.

AVON FUNDRAISERS

Could your group or organization use some additional funds?   Avon fundraisers are super easy and you get your funds within a few weeks.  They run 1-2 weeks and there are several options to fit your organization's needs.  Plus the Avon products are affordable and used by everyone..

It really does not matter what size of a group you have or even where you are located within the United States.  I am currently in Illinois, but no matter where you are we can conduct a fundraiser together.  Even a small group with only 20 participates each selling $15 worth of products to just 10 Customers would earn $900.  The more participates you have the more products you sell and the more money you earn!!

Avon has greater earnings for your organization than typical fundraisers.  Whether you have sold candy bars, t-shirts, pies, or wrapping paper in the past - you cannot beat the items that Avon offers for our fundraisers.  

Avon's reputation for top-quality products opens doors and makes selling simple.  Your organization can select from assorted personal care, makeup and fragrance items.  Or you can do an Annie the Owl fundraiser.  This one is even easier (no delivery of ANYTHING -- Just collect $20 for each owl and your organization makes 35% of the total as well as has all the owls they purchased to donate to the charity of your choice - ToysForTots, Ronald McDonald House, etc.

 

These are the various fundraiser flyers available.  Contact me today to discuss your fundraiser.  You can get your money from start to finish in as little as two weeks.

6 Tips On Working From Home

Due to our increasingly connected world, it’s becoming easier and easier to work from home. How do some of our most successful Avon Representatives do it? Here, we caught up with Alicia Hessinger Dias and Emily Seagren to score their best tips on eliminating distractions, creating a great work space in your home, and more.

1. Figure Out Your Best Working Time

For Dias, it’s all about late-night work sessions. ”I find the evenings a bit of a quiet time to multi task and get through a number of things on my to do list,” she says. But beware, she says. Working while you’re making dinner may not be the best use of your multitasking skills. Another tip from Dias is to work when you have the lulls in between major tasks. For instance, she says to work in the morning while you enjoy your a.m. coffee or tea.

2. Eliminate Clutter

Remember in high school or college when you’d clean your room before sitting down to study for exams or write a paper? The same principle applies here. Avon Representative Emily Seagren notes that “it’s important that whatever area you chose to work in is clutter-free, so you can focus on being productive that you don’t have to clean a mess.”

3. Maximize Your Uninterrupted Time

Says Dias, invest in your time in something that furthers your own brand, your own voice, your own business. “For me that is usually my blog and investing in some time to truly tend to it and write a good post and share it out. Usually an hour for writing, perfecting and sharing with the additional 30 minutes for picture taking.” Be realistic with yourself about how much time things take and plan accordingly throughout the week. Seagren advises getting rid of distractions by putting your phone in airplane mode. “Don't answer the phone, check emails, or look at Facebook while you're in your work zone,” she says.

4. Prioritize

Seagren loves to be creative and go on a whim, but if she doesn’t plan, she ends up making things more complicated in her head. For her, it’s all about a checklist. “My kids are in school from 7:30-2:30, when I’m at breakfast, I have my planner with me to write down what I want to accomplish for work,” she says. Seagren prioritizes based on the area of business that she wants to grow the most. It’s all about considering what will have the most impact and spending your time on that first.

5. Always Be Learning

Seagren listens to personal development and motivational speakers while she cleans her house, so she’s still learning. Even while doing things unrelated to her work as an Avon Representative. She likes to the following speakers and authors: Dani Johnson, Brendon Bouchard, John Maxwell, Sarah Robbins, and Zig Ziglar.

6. Clock It

Use timers and alarms to keep you on schedule for meetings, work projects, email time, or phone calls to keep you task. Seagren’s uninterrupted work time is from 11am to 2:30pm, so she uses these tools to keep her as productive as possible during the two days where she doesn’t have a babysitter.


NEW ANEW Sheet Mask

Good morning! Avon has a brand new product coming out in Campaign 7 - the ANEW Sheet Mask Collection! The hottest trend in skin care.  These Sheet Masks are inspired by ancient Asian beauty rituals and hold a generous amount of serum and are designed to hug the contours of your face like a second skin to reduce evaporation.  Infused essences are continuously and evenly released for immediate and enhanced benefits.


I have four extra masks and have decided I would offer them to my customers and/or blog readers to try. Why would anyone not want to try to make their face feel better and even eliminate a wrinkle or too?

This is what they are all about. There are two different masks:
Firms, Lifts & Tightens Skin and Brightening & Refreshes Skin.
Doesn't that sound wonderful?
I'm 50 years old so I'm going to try the firm, lifts and tightens.  I hope to try the mask this week or weekend and will report my findings on my blog.  I will even take before and after pics!!

How to Use: Apply to clean, dry skin 1 to 2X weekly.
  • Unfold the Sheet Mask carefully.
  • Align the Sheet Mask with both eyes, then smooth it to adhere.
  • Leave the Sheet Mask on for 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove the Sheet Mask and massage serum into skin.  Follow with moisturizer and eye cream.
This is what the Sheet Masks are all about:

The Firming Sheet Mask with ROYAL JELLY ESSENCE! Fit for a queen. This sweet nectar composed of water and previous nutrients is fed to the Queen Bee to help her live longer, be stronger and grow bigger. It's world-renowned for its firming and anti-aging benefits.

Firm up!  In minutes, skin looks firmer, toned and lifted, and feels instantly nourished with moisture.


The Brightening Sheet Mask with WHITE PEARL ESSENCE! An ancient beauty secret! Nutrient-rich pearls have been used for over 3,000 years as a facial treatment in Egypt, China and Japan. They have been known for centuries for their brightening benefits.

Bright idea!  In minutes, skin looks radiant and refreshed, and feels instantly nourished with rich hydration.

You can use the Sheet Masks once or twice a week in the AM or PM.  First you should use your Anew cleanser, then apply the Sheet Mask to dry skin.  Unfold the Sheet Mask and gently apply it to your face, smoothing it all over.  Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and relax.  Then remove the Sheet Mask and massage any remaining serum into the face and neck.  Do not rinse.  Dispose of the Sheet Mask and add moisturizer.

These Sheet Masks don't come out until Campaign 7 and will come in a box of 4 individually wrapped single-use Sheet Masks.  The Intro-Special price is $24.99 (Regularly $30).  If you would like to try them before they come out in the Avon brochure, you need to contact me now and I will pre-order yours and you will get yours before everyone else.

Are you serious about giving the Sheet Mask a try??  Contact me today.  I will ship you one while I have still have a few samples to share.  The only thing I ask is that once you try it -- you share with me what you thought of the experience and if it made you feel and look great!

What Avon Makeup Does the Avon Lady Wear??







Someone asked me recently what Avon makeup the Avon Lady uses on a daily basis.  I work full time for the state of Illinois, so I dress up every day and wear Avon makeup EVERYDAY!!  This is my basic routine and it generally takes me 5-10 minutes to complete it from start to finish.
So there you go.  It seems like alot, but it sure doesn't take long to apply and be on my way.  I love Avon makeup because it is so affordable that I can have various lipsticks, mascaras, eyeshadows or really anything I want to try.  This doesn't even begin to tell you how many fragrances I have!!!! That is for another blog.  Let me know if you have questions or if you want to try any of these products. Enjoy your day!

Avon's Three Newest Fragrances

Avon's newest fragrance Little Red Dress with a scent that is chic and refined. Little Red Dress is perfect for special occasions (hint: Valentine's Day). Stand out in a crowd with sensual red raspberry, sophisticated Bulgarian rose and rich red sandalwood. 1.7 fl. oz.

NOTES: 

• Top Note: Red Raspberry
• Mid Note: Bulgarian Rose

Prima





Prima by Avon speaks to the style lover who appreciates fashion’s ongoing love affair with classical ballet. Created in partnership with the prestigious fragrance house of Firmenich, Prima is an ethereal, floral-chypre fragrance – delicate, feminine and quietly powerful.

NOTES: Prima opens with lush top notes of plum, balancing its sweetness with a hint of tangy bergamot. Next, Prima unfolds to reveal a rich heart of intoxicating rose, a stunning blossom with ruffled pink petals that echo the folds of a dancer’s skirt. Finally, there’s a jeté torich clearwood, reminiscent of the satiny barres in a ballet studio, the woodsy note comes alive on skin, melding with oak moss and patchouli for a warm, poetically graceful finish.

Little Black Dress


Little Black Dress, a modern classic of sparkling Italian lemon oil and elegant jasmine essence embellished with luxurious sandalwood. Little Black Dress has a finishing touch that's perfect for every occasion. 1.7 fl. oz.

NOTES

Top Notes: Sparkling Italian Lemon Oil, Baies Rose, Black Plum Essence 
• Middle Notes: Jasmine, Peony, Rose Petals 
• Bottom/Dry Notes: Sandalwood, Vanilla Absolute, Musk

I have tried all three of these fragrances and my favorite is the Prima.  Prima's soft fragrance is subtle and not overpowering.  I would be happy to give you a sample of all three for you to try - Prima, Little Black Dress and Little Red Dress.  Check my Avon eStore to see the Avon sales for these fragrances.  Find a new fragrance for yourself today!

Watch this quick video how in five minutes this beautiful model can go from beautiful to fabulous.  This works for everyone.  Just an everyday look. Avon products are the best quality and in as little as five minutes you and I can also see a huge difference.  I know I don't spend much more than five minutes each day to get ready for work.  Some days I spend more time with eyeliner and layers of eyeshadow, but my favorite trick that always seems to pull it off is lipstick.  If you have a pretty lipstick on you can play down the rest of your look.  Check it out!!
