One thing that I’ve always loved and that I still always have to have is my face powder. No matter what look I’m going for, soft, diva, or even Halloween, I must finish my look with powder or I do not feel complete.

Avon’s True Color Flawless Mattifying Pressed Powder is super fabulous, and was a marvelous find for me. The face powder that I’ve used in the past is really good, but can go on quite heavy (especially when using a new compact), but the Avon Pressed Powder goes on much more lightly. I still get great coverage, but it’s a lot less heavy, so therefore does not add age to my face. My face feels really good after applying and looks smooth and matte. — So fabulous! The sponge is light as well and curves easily to the contour of my nose and face.

My shade of choice is Neutral. It’s 3rd down on the color scale. There are 10 shades to choose from, so pretty much a shade for everyone! The benefits of this product are that it does not cake (yes, it is lighter), it has skin matching pigments, it is a sheer to medium coverage powder, it’s comfortable to wear and it eliminates shine. Yes — I agree with all the benefit statements!

Avon’s True Color Flawless Mattifying Pressed Powder is on sale right now for $8.99 a compact, original price is $12.00. Let me know what shade you choose!

And now I’d like to talk to you about Avon’s new Velvet Perfume. Oh wow…. Color me super impressed… This perfume is so beautiful. And it does remind me of Velvet.

Avon describes Velvet as a top quality Parfum that is lush, warm and decadent. This is a very accurate description.

I was a candle maker, custom scent blender, and perfumer for over 9 years, so I suppose I do have a “nose” for fragrances, and my nose is very happy with this fragrance. This aroma really does remind me of a perfume that I would blend. It is unique and truly a scent-sational journey. The scent journey first begins with fig and pomegranate from the Mediterranean as the top note, then the middle note of rose from Bulgaria, and lastly, velvet patchouli from Java.

The bottle is so beautiful too, and it’s topped with a velvet cap, so you know you’re in for a decadent experience.

I actually have Velvet samples that I will be sending out to my Free Sample Club members this month, so that you can experience Velvet for yourself.

The Velvet Perfume is on sale now as well for $20.00 a bottle (spray bottle 1.7 oz.), original price is $30.00, so it is a fabulous time to get your hands on a bottle of this premium scent.

I will let you in on an Avon Insider perk – Tomorrow and Wednesday will be Free Shipping days for orders of $25.00 +. They will be releasing the code for that tomorrow, so I will definitely share that with you when it’s released. Perfect timing, hey? Plus right now the new Lip Tattoo pre-launch special is still on and you can get 2 of those for $20.00 plus an Avon Compact Mirror. I believe the mirror has a leopard skin design – so awesome! You’ll be all fixed up – and not have to pay any shipping! Yay!

Happy shopping everyone, and remember to check out the Outlet Section, the huge sale is still on with up to 65% off during this semi-annual sale.
