AVON

AVON

I recently became an Avon representative. I love make up, I love beauty products and I think Avon products have great quality products and they are very affordable. I originally tried them when I was living in Miami, FL and I always looked forward to see my Avon lady back in the day. 

Fast forward 10 years later and I am now an Avon lady! I am happy to say that they have kept the same quality products I used to purchase a while back and prices are still very affordable. The best thing is that you can return any product within 90 days! How cool is that! NO pharmacy or drug store will do that once you opened or used a product.

Check out the my new Avon brochure:

New Products Review

I have tried a few new products this winter and I will like to share my thoughts on them with you.

Uniqlo Heattech

First, is the Heattech clothing line. I purchased the black Heattech turtle neck.  The material used for the turtle neck is very soft, stretchable, anti-static, non-deforming and odor control.  However, after a run test of this Heattech turtle neck I find that all of its claims are true, apart from one: odor control. It is a very light weight material, it kept me warm with just one coat on, non static while I wore it and it did not loose its shape. However, at the end of the day and after sweating quite a bit, once it was off, the top did not stink too badly but it did smell.  The verdict: it is a great top, I wore plenty of times without loosing its shape, is warm and it looks good with anything. I will recommend this new Heattech clothing to anyone.

Lycra Pro Rimmel London

I purchased 3 of these nail polish because on the bottle it states that it will give a professional finish that last up to 10 days. Well, I waited until my baby was fast as sleep and husband was tucked into bed and I began the process.  I put on my base coat, 2 coats of Lycra Pro and fast drying top coat (very important when doing this at night).  My nails were dry quickly and I even had some time to watch a few youtube videos before I went to sleep.

The next day, I barely had started with some cleaning and the paint was already chipping! Mind you, I do use gloves when doing washing dishes. I was a bit disappointed but decided to try a different color. I used the same process as the night before. Next day came around, same thing, my nails where not lasting a full day! I tried a different color with the same results. Frustrated with my new purchase, I done some research online and hear good things about a nail brand I never heard before: Barry M.

Barry M Nail Polish

I exchange my failed Lycra Pro nail polish for Barry M.  I got the Barry M Hi Shine Gel Effect Nail Polish, in Lilac, Gold and glitter nail polish. I was surprised to see that the Barry M lasted 4 full days before I noticed minor chips. Obviously I do a lot of housework but for someone doing office work, or other "light on the hands" jobs, the polish can last even longer! I highly recommend Barry M nail polish!

Colman's Season and Shake

I love this product! It is so easy to use, super tasty and there are so many options to choose from!  For those of you who never tried this product, is an envelope that contains a plastic bag and seasoning.  You simply take the bag out, open it, put ingredients (for example: chicken and mushrooms) then you season it, shake gently until is completely coated, seal the bag and put it in the oven to bake. Simple! They have a wide variety of flavors such as: sticky spare ribs, garlic & herb roast chicken, lemon & dill salmon, sausage & herb casserole, rich beef casserole, just to name a few.

I absolutely recommend this product, is super simple and the flavors are just amazing!

That's it for now, until next time!
