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!

My Avon Look

Hey!  It's Jfay!  Your friendly Avon lady!
Hey! It’s Jfay!

Hey Gang! I hope you’re doing fabulous!

So — how much do you love makeup? I know I love it! And I am really enjoying all my Avon goodies, so I thought I’d share all the wonderful products I’ve been using, with you.

We all know that one of the most important elements of our overall look is the base, or foundation, and I am so in love with the finish I get using the Avon True Color Flawless Cream-to-Powder Foundation. It comes in a really nice compact with mirror, and has it’s very own application sponge in the underside of the compact – so convenient. I am so happy with the way the foundation goes on and how it makes my face look. As a very young 54 year old I need a foundation that makes me look fresh and not overdone, but still has a great coverage, but not cakey and not enhancing any little fine lines, and I get all that with this product. I was using a similar product prior and it was a bit more heavy and did tend to increase fine lines, but Avon’s Cream-to-Powder is much lighter and is not cakey. It goes on very smoothly and is easy to blend – especially with the handy applicator. It’s just fabulous! I feel fresh and youthful. The shade I’m using is Creamy Natural # 593-340. It’s on page 27 of the Campaign 14 brochure and is on sale right now for $8.99, regular price $12.00. (All prices I am sharing with you today are for Campaign 14 and are good till June 25th.)

Next up is the Avon True Color Luminous Blush in Rose Luster. This blush goes on great and it gives my cheeks great color without being too much. A nice fresh rosy look for me I thinks. And it stays on fabulously. The blush also comes in a very nice compact with mirror. It has an applicator brush and is on sale now too for $7.99, original price $11.00. This can be found on page 29 of the Campaign 14 brochure.

And my newest Avon eyeshadow Quad! I love this palette! It’s called Purple Haze. I just received this a couple of days ago. In my pic you can see that it looks like I’m using eyeliner, but I actually used the dark gray in this palette to line my eyes. Works like a charm! All the colors in this are so pretty. I love the violet purple, it goes well with my dark brown eyes. This can be found on page 14 of Campaign 14’s brochure and all the Quads are $8.00 right now. But wait! Follow this link for a special online offer of buy one, get one 1/2 off – Hooray! I told you there are sometimes special online offers not in the book. It’s like finding fantastic treasures everywhere you look online.

Let’s talk lashes, and Love at First Lash, my new very very favorite mascara. It’s awesome — it’s fantastic! Not clumpy or goopy, just great volume. I’ve talked about this mascara before and I’ll probably keep on singing it’s praises. It’s everything I could ever want in a mascara and it’s easy to remove. I love that too. The Love at First Lash mascara can be found on page 23 of the brochure and is on sale for $8.00, regular price is $12.00.

And now for the lip look! I wanted a bit of a contrast in color – still going with the purple, but a slight different tone for a great pop of color. I used 3 products for this look. I like layering on the lip, so that there is a good base and depth of color. Firstly I began with Avon’s True Color Glimmersticks liner for the lips in one of their newest shades, Pomegranate (#608-680). You should check out their new Electric Plum shade too (#607-698) — I think I’m going to get that one next – it’s super gorg!

Then I used the True Color Nourishing Lipstick in Delicate Date (#642-240). This is also a new shade and is a nice plum tone. I sometimes wear just the liner and the lipstick, but for a night out, I also added my new Lip Glow Lip Gloss in Lit – Yay!

Avon's Lip Glow Lip Gloss on sale 2 for $10.00!

All the lip products have specials going on right now. How cool is that? The Nourishing Lipsticks are 2 for $10.00, regularly $8.00 each, and this lipstick is so awesome. Great color and makes my lips feel moisturized and great.

The Glimmersticks are 3 for $9.00, regularly $7.00 each. These are so great too. No sharpening needed, just twist and go. The Glimmersticks also come in eyeliner and brow definer form. The Glimmersticks eyeliners now come in Diamond sparkly shades – so fun!

And one of my new favorites – the Lip Glow Lip Gloss is also on special now and you can get 2 for $10.00, regular price $8.00 each. These lip glosses really bring it with full color and enticing shine.

So many fantastic products and everything is on special or on sale, so it’s a great time to get stocked up. And with every $40.00 purchase you can get the Avon A Box filled with goodies for only $10.00. This Campaign’s A Box is a $38.00 value and is called Glow Baby Glow.

OH — and add a hot pink makeup caddy for only $10.49 right now too! You can see mine pictured above. You can find it on page 30 of the Campaign brochure.

Till next time stay fabulous! Jfay

And of course in my Avon Beauty Caddy, I do have some fabulous Avon makeup items. I’m really enjoying wearing everything. The colors are all very pretty and stay very nicely. Which, Avon’s makeup line is named Avon True Color, and they are correct!

Firstly is the Avon True Color Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Quad in Romantic Mauves. These mauve tones are perfect for my eye color which is dark brown. The Eyeshadow Quads are available in 10 different shade combos, so a lot to choose from. These Quads are on sale right now for $4.99, original price is $8.00, so a great deal.

Next is the Avon True Color Nourishing Lipstick in Delicate Date. I’m really loving this lip color. I first use my Avon Pomegranate Lip Liner (I’ll post about that soon) and then put on my Delicate Date lipstick, and it’s so pretty and lasts a good while. I love the Nourishing Lipstick because it’s just that – it’s nourishing and moisturizing. Feels good wearing it too. Not drying at all and not sticky. The Lipsticks (All styles except Mark.) are on sale right now for $4.99, original price $8.00, so another great deal!

Now, how about the Avon True Color Luminous Blush? And have you noticed how nice all the compacts are? The mirrors are a great size for ease of applying. The shade I’m wearing is Rose Luster. The blush is $11.00 with a Buy One Get One Half Price Deal right now.

And last but certainly not least in this grouping is a product that I am totally crushing on! Love at First Lash Mascara!! Love, Love, Love!!! I have found my one true mascara love once and for all! I get a really nice lash look from just one sweep. I’ll apply two if I’m wanting to go really dramatic. I used to have to hold a mascara wand to my lashes for a bit to get my lashes to kind of stand up and be seen, but with Love at First Lash, they are pert right away. Love at First Lash is $12.00 and worth every penny.

Very nice coverage without looking cakey in the least. It stays on great. I just wore all my Avon makeup to an outdoor party, and the weather was humid and a bit drizzly. I did not have to worry about my makeup. It all wore gorgeously. The Flawless Cream to Powder Foundation is $12.00 with a Buy One Get One Half Price deal right now. My color is Creamy Natural.
