MY OPINION/REVIEW
As I mentioned on my previous post. I have been experiencing oilness on my face a little too much
lately, something that I really don't go thru often.
It's been so bad that although I love my foundation and never experienced any problems with it,
it all accumulates on my cheeks. My face looks so shiny it just drives me crazy.
I wear the Artistry Hydrating or the Balancing formula.
Even when I wear the balancing formula which is for combination to oily skin,
it still does not keep my face from getting oily.
I usually use the Artistry Essentials Balancing Moistourizer but my order is
taking too long to arrive. So as always I like to have a cheaper alternative item to most of
my face products just incase something like this happens.
I decided to give this line a try and see if it helps me out.
I really liked this lotion it actually controled my oilness and helped my makeup stay matte.
It's almost as if I'm wearing a primer/moistourizer all in one.
I have been using this lotion for a couple of days now and so far I do like the results.
the oilness that drove me crazy has seemed to be controled for now.
The texture on this lotion is normal not to thick not too thin it is just right.
This product does specify that it is not to prevent or clear acne.
It is said that it is to help protect against UVA/UVB rays.
I got this for $8.00 on a special deal Avon had so I will wait on their next sale to order my backup.

HOW I APPLY THIS
I have been using this lotion after cleansing and before foundation application.
(I have not use my Solutions moistourizer since using this lotion) 
I then apply my Artistry Hydrating Foundation and follow
with my daily makeup routine.
I use my hydrating foundation just because I don't want my skin to become too dry either.  
I am satisfied with this product so far, I would recomend it to anyone that has been experiencing
oilness like I have lately and would definetly be repurchasing this on my next Avon order.

I hope some of you found this post helpful.
As Always

Avon-Clearskin Professional Deep Pore Cleansing Scrub

Clearskin Professional Deep Pore Cleansing Scrub
Product Description
Contains our exclusive Oil Control System.
Exfoliates pores; leaves skin feeling cool, clean and healthier-looking.
 4.2 fl. oz.
Reg. Price $12.00

MY OPINION
I decided to give this a try since I have been experiencing some oilness and minimal breakouts
lately, I have combination skin. In the summer or hot weather I tend to get an oily T-Zone and in the winter or cold weather I get extremely dry skin.
This product was on sale so I gave it a try and ordered. 
I am not too happy with this scrub.
First of all the texture on this is very watery. I hate watery scrubs. 
My perfect scrub is the Mac Volcanic Scrub.
Sadly it is not a permanent item. So I am on a hunt.
I have tried this for a couple of days and it gives me that tight dry feeling on my skin. 
I do have to say that a blemish was comming out on Saturday morning under my nose 
and I washed with this and it seems to be gone. 
This scrub also gives that minty fresh feel.
I honestly would not repurchase this scrub just because its too watery for my liking,
but I will be using it when I feel that I am starting to get a blemish.
Overall this is an ok product not horrible either, it is just the texture that does not make it perfect for me.
Although I do prefer the Clearskin Pore Penetrating Invigorating Scrub it is also cheaper and it
will remain on my daily skin care routine.

I hope this review was helpful.
Thanks for Stoping By!

MY REVIEW/OPINION
I am absolutely in LOVE with this brush. I purchased it 2 months ago and
I just haven't been able to put it down.
The quality of this brush is just amazing
Density-This Brush is very dense and super soft. The bristles/hair on this brush is packed on very well.
I also like this brush because it does not shed at all.
I personally use this brush to set my foundation with powder.
This brush grabs my powder very well.
Application-I swirl the brush in my powder and press onto my face to set my foundation.
This technique helps my foundation last longer and gives me a flawless look.
I would absolutely recommend this brush to my friends.  
I purchased this brush online, but I also seen it at Target.
I will definetly be buying a backup soon.

I hope this review was helpful.
