Before and After – Anew Charcoal Mask Date Night

Hey Everyone! It’s me, Jfay, if you don’t recognize me!

I thought I’d give the new Anew Neutralize Anti-Pollution Charcoal Mask a try-out last night. My skin has been feeling a bit irritated as of late, and when I read that this mask is very soothing to irritated skin, I knew this was for me. This is so awesome, it’s a mask in a stick. It’s formulated with charcoal and kaolin clay. It glides on so smoothly and easily. No need to dampen your skin. Just begin with a clean dry face, then smooth this on wherever you think you need it. This is very cooling going on – it’s really nice. And also a lot of fun!

You just simply let it sit for about 10 minutes and then you’re ready to rinse. I used a soft wash cloth to take it off. It was a white cloth, but not to worry, it all washed out with soap and water. My skin felt sooooo good afterward. So cool and refreshed. I was truly amazed. My skin felt revitalized. It’s like a mini spa treatment. The charcoal and kaolin clay absorb toxins, oil and impurities.

Here are the 2 Anti-Pollution products that I’ve tried. The Charcoal Mask Stick, and I also received a sample size of the Anti-Pollution Serum. You use this before your moisturizer. It’s formulated with botanical extracts like Matcha, Ginger and Amla to help protect your skin from environmental stressors and visible signs of pollution-induced aging.

Avon says:

It’s time to get skin smart. With our Anew Neutralize Anti-Pollution Collection, your skin can now be 4X more resistant to pollution—aka dirt, dust, smoke and smog. All of these pesky pollutants contribute to the look of dull skin, clogged pores, age spots and wrinkles. Our anti-pollution squad was designed as your invisible shield of protection, helping to keep skin looking healthy, fresh and youthful.

Us Weekly just called our new street smart, skin smart line “the secret to anti-aging”

That’s so fabulous! And this line is so fabulous!

And now I am feeling awesome and ready to head out for my date night with Hunky Hubby. And of course I am wearing all my favorite Avon makeup products.

For my foundation I absolutely love Avon’s Flawless Cream-To-Powder Foundation. My shade of choice is Creamy Natural. I need to order more actually, and it’s on special right now for $9.99 (regular price $14.00). It comes in a nice mirrored compact and has it’s own applicator sponge.

I also love using Avon’s Flawless Mattifying Powder. It is lighter than the powders I used to use, so it gives me a more youthful finish – Not too heavy and powdery.

And you cannot go wrong with Avon’s True Color Luminous Blush. The color I’m wearing is Rose Luster. This also comes in a nice mirrored compact, as does the Mattifying Powder. And these products are both on special right now too.

And I just got a new Eyeshadow palette called Steel Blues. I really love it. You can see I’ve also used it for my eyeliner. The applicator is great and has an end that you can use for lining. This selection is a multi-finish quad and is also on special. A great time to get all your makeup basics, hey?

I finished my eye look with my very favorite Mascara – Love at First Lash! This mascara is terrific. It is formulated with Vitamins A, C and E to condition your lashes, plus olive oil and lycopene to strengthen lashes. And it goes on great. 2 applications and my lashes are looking stand-out great! Easy to wash off too – I love that.

Then for my lips — I lined and filled in with my favorite Pomegranate Glimmersticks Lip Liner and then tried a new True Color Nourishing Lipstick Sample I have called Candy Red. I usually go for Plums, but I really like this Red. I think I can wear this one very well. That’s why I love Avon’s Lipstick Samples so much – I can try colors I may not usually try in full size.

And that’s it! From a revitalizing charcoal mask to a finished makeup look, quick, easy, and fun, all thanks to the fabulousness of Avon. Then out the door for a fun night out with my sweet Coyote Willie. I enjoyed my favorite bacon burger, Willie had chicken fajitas, and we both enjoyed a cold beer – Hooray!

Before I close, I wanted to let you know that Avon has a new Free Gift offer up for this week. You receive a free Anew Reversalist Night Cream with any $50 order using the code : SEPTFREE. This includes free shipping as well.

Also — this is really awesome — Avon is having a pre-launch special on their new fragrance Live Out Loud. I’ve told you all about this very pretty new perfume in a previous post. You can get a bottle of it now during C21 for only $25.00! Use code: LIVE. This is only till October 1st. I’ll be sending my Free Sample Club a sample of this the first of October, so you can all give it a try.

Okay lovely friends, I shall close for now, but you know I’ll be back with more Avon goodness to share with you. Till then, stay fabulous and follow your joy!

New Beauty Products and Sample Offers from Avon

Hello Everybody! Hope this finds you all doing fantastically!

I have some fun news to share with you today. We’ve got new beauty products launching, and we have a chance to sample them before they go live. Hooray!

First up is Avon’s new Anew Neutralize Anti-Pollution line. This line will launch in C21, but we can give it a try now, in C20. If you check the back cover of the C20 online brochure, you will see the page I have pictured above with the offer of receiving a sample of the Anew Neutralize Anti-Pollution Serum for just $.99 cents with any purchase from the C20 book. This is so fabulous! Here’s the direct link.

Let me tell you a little about the new Anti-Pollution Serum. The Anew Neutralize Serum is formulated with healing botanical extracts that help protect the body from environmental stressors and visible signs of pollution-induced aging. You can now protect your skin with an invisible shield to keep out dirt, dust, smoke, smog, etc., and even indoor pollutants such as chemicals and fumes will be shielded.

The adaptogens used in Avon’s new formula include Matcha, Ginger, and Amla. Matcha is a form of green tea with vitamins, minerals and superfood antioxidants to help neutralize and visibly repair pollution damage. Ginger is an antioxidant that has been used for centuries to help visibly even skin tone and boost skin’s ability to repair itself. Amla is an Indian gooseberry fruit with high levels of vitamin C, known to support radiance.

This is right up my alley — I LOVE natural solutions. How about you?

The directions for use suggests that you can use this product AM and PM after cleansing and before moisturizing. Gently smooth in an upward and outward motion. The regular price is $44.00, but it looks like it may launch at a price of $24.00. AND — there is a special online offer on top of the $.99 cent sample of the Serum. There is an exclusive online Neutralize bundle deal.

Anew Neutralize Pre-Launch Bundle Deal

You can purchase the new Anew Neutralize Anti-Pollution Mask Stick and Serum for $40.00 and you receive the Charcoal Pore Strips free! Yay! I am very very interested in these charcoal products (as well as the serum). The Anti-Pollution Charcoal Mask Stick uses the powerful combination of charcoal and kaolin clay which helps absorb toxins, oil and impurities. It also helps to soothe irritated skin. The directions say to apply generously to clean, dry skin. Let sit for 10 minutes, then rinse off. Use this product as needed.

These look so fun to use! Even the serum goes on black – but not to worry, it rubs in clear.

Then there is the Anew Neutralize Charcoal Pore Strips. These gently and instantly remove pollutants from pores to reveal fresh and glowing skin. The package includes 6 individually wrapped nose strips. To use it says after cleansing, dampen skin on your nose and smooth the strip down. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Gently peel off. Rinse off any residue. Use 2 to 3 times a week. You will see instant results!

So — we can now all be armed and protected with Ginger, Matcha and Charcoal – Oh yeah! Glow skin glow!

Okay – Let’s talk new perfume. I’m also very excited about this one. I told you a bit about Live Out Loud in a previous post, but I thought I’d go more in depth now and tell you all about it, how it was inspired, where it was created, and by whom.

Live Out Loud (I love the name) was designed by noted perfumers from the prestigious fragrance house Firmenich in Switzerland. Here are the inspirations behind this fragrance, in the perfumers’ own words.

The inspiration for this fragrance came from our desire to create something addictive with a point of view — something just right for the woman who knows what she wants and is a force to be reckoned with.

Honorine Blanc – Master Perfumer

We were inspired by the spirit of empowered optimism and confidence. This fragrance is the perfect combination of creamy and bright, fruity facets… a sweet yet sensual signature.

Alexis Grugeon – Perfumer

I have a little rub on patch in my What’s New Representative Booklet, and it smells really really good, and it smells quite expensive too. I cannot wait to get my samples in of this. Which, you can get a FREE sample for yourself, right now! How cool is that? Up till September 17th, you will receive a free sample of Live Out Loud with any C20 online purchase. Just be sure to check the box in your shopping cart to let Avon know to send you one. You’ll see the box down on the right hand side of your screen in your cart.

Here is the official description of Live Out Loud: A free-spirited expression of sweet wild strawberry, sparkling mimosa, and comforting fluffy vanilla. I can tell you, it’s much more than that! Do not think literal interpretation on this one – you just have to try it. This perfume is listed as a fresh and vibrant fragrance which, the fresh and vibrant fragrances are classified by Avon as fruity floral scents with exciting, lush, and liberating notes. Avon will be introducing new fragrance categories in C22 to simplify how they categorize their fragrances to make it easier to shop for your favorite type of scents. More about that later!

And something extra fun. Avon will also be introducing a limited edition of Live Out Loud Fragrance Body Ink Pens.

Draw on your inspiration — Gotta love it! You know we’re all going to be using these for fun selfies – right?! Be sure to use the hashtag #AvonLiveOutLoud — But I’m getting ahead of myself. These will be out in C22, which begins on October 2nd — but actually, online, the new books usually begin in the late afternoon the day before — Insider tip for you!

These are made with non-transfer ink and it removes easily with soap and water. Not to be used on your face though. I cannot wait to see how creative everyone gets with these.

And, before I go, I did notice that there is a new free gift offer now up on my Avon website for orders $50 +. It’s the Anew Vitamin C Warming Peel. You’ll want to check that out. This also includes free shipping. Just use the code SEPTFREE at checkout.

Okay! I’ll sign out for now. I’ll be back soon with more great Avon news to share. Now, go get your samples – Yay! And stay fabulous!
