MY OPINION
My Avon Lady recently gave this to me as a Gift.
I mentioned to her that I have been getting a few brown spots on my cheeks and she reccomended
these pads. I used them at night the first time and in the morning I noticed that many of my spots
had cleared quite a bit, and this was only on the first use and in my experience.
I was very surprised how great this product worked.
I use this product at night at least once a week.
It does give me a slight tingling sensation and it stings a bit but when
I apply my moistourizer right after I'm totally fine.
As for the price they are $25 but like I've mentioned before Avon
usually has sales and you may be able to get these cheaper.
Overall I really liked this product and I will keep using it.

Hope you guys liked this post!

Avon's-Most Recent Morning and Night Skincare Routine

I recently ran out of my Artistry Skin care items.
When this happens I always turn to my Avon Items.
So following are the items I have been using for a long time now and
always seem to return to them when I run aout of any other product I may be
using. I am very satisfied with every single product I will list below.

AM ROUTINE
ANEW Rejuvenate Cleanser
I use this cleanser in the mornings to wash my face.
This product says to deep clean and tone.
Visibly reduces signs of aging. Innovative 2-in-1 gel formula deep-cleans and tones,
as it rejuvenates fatigued-looking skin. Formulated with a fusion of pioneering technologies
 Exfo-Smoothing Complex, MiniExtraction Technology and RevitaFresh Technology
inspired by a professional anti-aging facial.
Instantly, leaves skin looking and feeling clean, toned, and refreshed.
With continued use, improves skin texture and makes pores look tighter.
Visibly reduces lines and other signs of aging to reveal fresh, younger-looking skin.
Oil-free. Dermatologist-tested. Allergy-tested. 4.2 fl. oz.
Price $10.00
This products does not foam up too much but in the mornings I'm not wearing makeup
so its good enough to cleanse and tone my face and prepare it for my daily makeup routine.
I really like this cleanser alot. It makes my face feel very soft. The fact that it already tones
at the same time it shortens your morning skin care routine.

Solutions Total Radiance Day Lotion SPF 15
A light, oil-free lotion that contains a unique light-activated delivery system that releases a cosmetic ingredient as the exposure to light increases. It enhances skin radiance and improves texture, tone and clarity. Leaves skin that looks beautifully healthier and radiant. Helps prevent sunburn.
4 fl. oz.
Price $13.00
I have been using this lotion for a very long time. This lotion is light to my skin, it does mot make
my skin feel greasy at all. I have combination skin and many moistourizers tend to make my
skin feel greasy. I like to use very light lotions or even gel based moistourizers.
I have been using this lotion for a very long time and I haven't tried changing it.
It moistourizes and leaves a healthy glow at the same time.


NIGHT ROUTINE
Total Radiance Day & Night Cleanser
It lifts & removes dirt, oil and debris.
Foaming gel. 5 fl. oz.
Price $8.00
This is my night cleanser this cleanser does remove my makeup very well,
It foams up which is a must on a cleanser for me.
It has a nice soft scent and I really like this product.


 Avon Clearskin Pore Penetrating Scrub
Featuring Pore-Firming Technology.
Formulated with Eucalyptus Extract & Witch Hazel to cleanse and refresh.
Lifts away pore-clogging dirt and excess oil. 2.5 fl. oz.
Price $6.49
To Exfoliate my skin I use this scrub along with my ANEW Rejuvenate Cleanser.
I try to exfoliate my skin at least 3 times a week.
I love the texture of this scrub as it is thick and does not feel to rough on your face but it still has
that feeling of a scrub which is something I really like.
It leaves my skin very fresh and soft.



GABEL'S Double Distilled Witch Hazel Astringent

Gabels witch hazel is a refreshing lotion which helps to gently clean and tone the skin.
My mom gave me this toner since I was a teenager and it has been a part of my skincare ever since.
This toner helps to really clean my face and remove any makeup that can be left after cleansing.
It refreshes my skin and when I get a blemish I clean my face with this and it helps the blemish
 dissappear right away.
I really love this stuff and my mom makes sure I have this all the time.

Total Radiance Night Cream
This replenishing cream, formulated with Ulex Europea Flower Extract,
boosts skin's hydration and enhances its ability to lock in moisture. It also helps revitalize
the look of skin and reveals brighter,
healthier-looking skin.
1.7 fl. oz.
Price $13.00
This is my night cream, I use very little at night since it can moistourize a little too much.
It's a great product for me in the winter since my skin gets very dry.


Total Radiance Eye Gel
This replenishing cream, formulated with Ulex Europea Flower Extract,
boosts skin's hydration and enhances its ability to lock in moisture.
It also helps revitalize the look of skin and reveals brighter, healthier-looking skin.
1.7 fl. oz.
Price $13.00
This eye gel I use it morning and night. I really like how it moistourizes under my eyes.
I recently decided to give this Solutions eye gel a try since it came on a special deal with the rest of the line.
I really liked it and have used it ever since.


For eye creams I've always used Avon 's

ANEW CLINICAL Eye Lift PRO Dual Eye System
I really love this stuff and would not change it.
I've also used the

ANEW REJUVENATE 24 Hour Eye Moisturizer SPF 25
This is another great eye cream

I have used Avon Products for many years already.
I always return to Avon products due to the fact that
they do have great quality products that have worked for me.
There is another great benefit about Avon.
The price I have provided on my post is the regular retail price
for the items, I usually get my products at a sale price, Avon
always has great deals and if you are an Avon lover like myself you'll know when to buy
your products at a good price.
All products mentioned above have been purchased by me.

If you guys would like a more detailed review on any of these items,
let me know and I will make another post for you guys.

I hope this post was helpful to many of you.
As always many Thanks for stopping by!
