Avon isn't just for Grandma any more

When I hear the name "Avon," I think chap stick graced with  an itsy-bitsy year long calendar and roll-on bath paint from my childhood. I recently learned that Avon has grown up. My sister is now a consultant (what? She isn't 80 year old with lavender hair?) and has me delving into entertaining catalogs full of fun beauty products for cheap prices.

I ordered make-up, similar to Bare Essentials and it works great! The foundation was... wait, you will NEVER believe this..... $5.  Also, my sis hooked me up with a tan. I have now used the Skin So Soft tanning lotion 1 time and have a lovely glow that doesn't stink like all the others I've tried. It was... wait, you will NEVER believe this... $2.99!

Alysun, I came to your blog for just a minute to see what you've been up to, and way too long later, I'm still here! I love your writing and your photos--beautiful! This is a sacrifice for me as I only have 10 hours of dial-up a month (yea, that gets me far....) but it was well worth it to get a glimpe into your recent life! Thanks! Kelsey

Avon does have some good stuff...I personally love their smudge proof mascara. Doesn't run all over your face when you're teary yet comes off really easy in the shower.

Avon does have some pretty good stuff! I have used their Hydrofirming face Lotion Day Cream, SPF 15 and I also have their night cream and eye cream. Oh my goodness! It really has made a difference for my face. My face does feel firmer, not only that but it is well moisturized! (So I don't look dried out and old) It's wonderful! Yay for Avon!

Oh, and you have to try their face scrub. It leaves your face feeling fresh and breezy and soft. I can't remember the name right now but I love it!
