Beautiful Hair Care Products made from Honey and Royal Jelly for Smooth, Shiny Hair Full of Body. (Use Experience and Review)

Thank you bees indeed! And thank you Avon, for bringing us such a fabulous hair care system. The Elastine Propoli Thera Hair Care Line is full of hair care products for every need, and all are made using products made by (and used by) bees.

The products you see pictured above are the ones that I currently use. The Propoli Thera Damage Repair Shampoo, Damage Repair Conditioner, Hair Oil Serum, and Volume Spray.

If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, then you may know that I’ve been growing out my hair from a very short undercut Pixie style. I am now 1 year into my grow out. I was using Dr. Groot Shampoo to help with my grow-out and it worked awesomely, and I am now in the managing the grown out natural gray hair stage. I had originally went with a very short hair style because of my thinning hair due to Menopause. I am now past that point and ready to try a longer style again, so there is my background story regarding all this for you. 🙂

My hair has thankfully grown out fuller than I thought it would (thank you Dr. Groot Thickening Shampoo), and I have been using the Propoli Hair Oil Serum and Volume Spray the entire time as well. I’ve added the Shampoo and Conditioner to my full time lineup after trying them (in travel size) in my Avon Travel Kit, plus also testing some salon shampoos and conditioners and seeing which products did a better job at giving me 1) smooth hair (gray hair has a different texture), 2) shiny hair (do not like dull silvers…, and 3) body (gotta have fullness and bounce!).

After testing for over a month, Propoli won out every time on all three counts, and my hair held up better the next day after shampooing and styling.

The Propoli line also has Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner, but since I tried the Damage Repair duo and liked it so much, I went with those as my choice. My hair is not damaged, but with gray hair, it can have that type of feel; kind of dry and frizzy, and since this ticks off the body and smoothness boxes, I am very happy with my results using the Damage Repair pair.

The Hair Oil Serum and Volume Spray have been total game changers throughout my 1 year hair grow-out experience and they were a necessity when my hair was short as well. As soon as I towel dry my hair, it wants to automatically go in freak-out frizz mode. Applying the Oil Serum is like magic. It calms my hair instantly and smooths the texture. I then spritz the Volume Spray all over at the roots and I’m ready to style. There is no sticky residue at all. I do go lightly with the Oil Serum. A little goes a long way. I’ve had the same bottle for over a year now and I still have about a 1/3 left, so it is a great investment for $15.99.

Here is Avon’s official description, and the main ingredients are basically the same for all.

Catch the buzz and treat your hair to some self care. Our rejuvenating hair serum is made with beeswax, honey and royal jelly (what bees eat), and will help strengthen, protect, moisturize and smooth hair. Not to mention, it adds shine as you style! 5.7 fl. oz.

Hair Care for Gray/Silver Hair Review

You Guys, My Neck Looks So Much Better. This Stuff Really Works!

Anew Platinum Age Delay Serum. This stuff really works! My neck looks so much better. I love this. https://www.avon.com/product/anew-platinum-lift-sculptor-agedelay-lifting-serum-132775?rep=mybeauty — Anew Platinum Age Delay Serum

Hello everyone! How are you doing today? I hope very well.

I’ve been super excited for the release of this new Anew Age Delay Serum for a while now. I received this as a gift back in August in my Avon Convention Swag and have been happily using it since.

What caught my attention about this is that it is formulated to help firm sagging skin, and I’d been noticing some crepiness in my neck that wasn’t thrilling me very much, so I was very happy to give this a try. To my great surprise this stuff actually works! I know that may sound cynical coming from an Avon Rep., which you all know how much I love my Avon skincare products, but with crepey skin coming on, I just wasn’t sure if anything would actually correct that or not. But hey, yeah, my neck looks so much better. I do my makeup in a well lit room with a lighted mirror, so there’s no hiding any skin issues. I am just thrilled, tickled pink, all the above :), and couldn’t wait to share this great news with you all.

This just arrived this Campaign and it is debuting at $26.99, regular price is $60.00, so I’d say jump on it sisters – and brothers!

I use this on my neck, my upper chest, my jowls, and now even on my upper eye lid, around my eyes, just everywhere. It is very gentle, and goes into the skin very quickly. I have very sensitive skin, so I always approach skincare with great ease going in, but now I’m putting it all over. I’d love to put this on my upper arms and I sometimes do. Just let me bathe in it! Haha!

Here is the description and ingredient list for you:

With an innovative antioxidant technology containing niacinamide (vitamin B3) and panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) plus collagen-stimulating peptides. Use AM and PM before moisturizer. 1 fl. oz.

BENEFITS
• Helps promote a lifted look for sagging skin

Licorice: A rich root known to help regenerate elastin and collagen, helping visibly brighten and soothe skin.

Hyaluronic Acid:
The super hydrator, helps increase hydration levels, helping keep skin looking plump and bouncy.

Panthenol:
Helps soothe, smooth and retain hydration

Niacinamide:
Helps visibly improve discoloration and improve the appearance of skin texture and fine lines.

Peptides:
Help rebuild and repair damaged cells, but most importantly signals skin to help produce collagen, thus slowing the aging process

Extra bonus, this is a vegan skin care option. So yay!

I hope you snag a bottle or two for yourself and your bestie. I know I’ll certainly be keeping this on hand ALL THE TIME! It is truly wonderful! Here is the link for you: Anew Platinum Age Delay Serum.

Till next time, stay fabulous and follow your joy!

Gotta Get It! Beauty Sampling Set for $10.00

Hey gang! I had to pop in on a Saturday to show you this fabulous beauty set. Can you believe all this for $10.00? If they offered me just the Anew Collagen Booster Eye Lift Duo for $10.00 I’d be jumping up and down! I use the eye lift duo every day now. I love it. Plus you also receive a full size lip moisturizing balm, a full sized Glimmer Satin Lipstick in Poppy, and a mini (or travel) sized Love at 1st Lash Mascara also my fave) in this Gotta Get It! More Than Meets the Eye Set.

I believe I told you all a while back that these Gotta Get It! Sets are the new Avon A-Boxes. Instead of the boxes, you now receive these special curated sets in a resealable bag.

Gotta Get It! Beauty Sampling Set for $10.00 with $40.00 purchase from Avon. youravon.com/mybeauty — $10.00 Beauty Set with a $40.00 Purchase

When you add this set to your cart it will say $59.00, but once you add $40.00 more to your cart the price of the set will be only $10.00. No coupon code needed. That’s a $49.00 savings. Pretty awesome!

And, you know what? I was just thinking about blogging about the Eye Lift Duo again and how I’m enjoying pairing it with the Farm RX Super Greens Moisturizer for my morning face regimen. The two products together give my face a very refreshing start to the day and wear perfectly under my makeup.

Farm Rx Super Greens Multivitamin Moisture Cream and Isa Knox Collagen Booster Eye Cream Duo from Avon. Youravon.com/mybeauty — Farm RX Super Greens Moisture Cream + Anew Clinical Collagen Booster Eye Lift Pro

After cleansing my face with Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser, I then apply the eye cream. The gel goes on the upper lid, and the cream, under the eyes. This makes my eyes feel wide awake and “lifted”. It really has that sensation. Nothing stingy, just an uplifted (firmer) feel. It’s really cool.

I then apply the Farm RX Super Greens Moisturizer to the rest of my face and neck. This has a fresh, cooling feel that makes my skin feel awake and ready for the day. It’s great for these warmer days for sure.

Now is the perfect time to try the Isa Knox Anew Clinical Collagen Booster Eye Lift Pro Dual Eye System (and for me to get some more!). It’s a $40.00 value, and it’s listed for $22.99 in my Avon store, so the Gotta Get It! deal is even better at $10.00 plus you receive all the other goodies.

Might as well snag a jar of the Farm RX Super Greens to help get you to the $40.00 mark. It’s listed for $29.99 in my Avon store. And another bonus, you receive a free try it size of Green Goddess with a qualifying skin care purchase of $40.00 or more. Green Goddess is a soothing cbd oil that is great for any redness or irritation on your face. I use this regularly.

I hope you find your new favorite Summer time skin care products too. I’m always here to answer any of your skin care questions. Avon has something for every skin type and need. I have very sensitive skin, so the products that I use and talk about here on my blog are ones that my skin really loves.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
