Avon BEYOND COLOR Plumping Lip Conditioner Review

Avon BEYOND COLOR Plumping Lip Conditioner SPF 15 with Double the Retinol
Price: $8.00
4 1/2 out of 5 stars

It worked pretty well, after about a week
I started using it as soon as it arrived, but did not really notice much of a difference untill about a week later. Then my lips started to plump quite well.

The good thing about this product is that it is not too tingly when you put it on. You look natural, not like you have trout pout or are drooling!  It also looks nice on, very pale and sheer, with a tiny bit of sparkle. Another advantage is that works well under other colors, and I have to admit, you sort of miss it if you don’t use it. It holds up well when you eat too.

It is also really good because it is not at all slimy or sticky. Considering how well it plumps, the taste is not bad at all, you hardly notice it yourself, so your man won’t really notice except to want to kiss you more :) Very good value considering the price! And the non-allergic properties.  So, you can use it as plumper, lipstick/lip glosser, or both.

I bought mine through the Amazon Avon store, so prices may be different elsewhere, but it came promptly and the shipping was really reasonable as well.

Product Review: Avon NATURALS Lip Balm Vanilla

Product Review: Avon NATURALS Lip Balm Vanilla
Price: $0.99
5.0 out of 5 stars
Quite tasty, very smooth

I liked this lip balm in a stick because it goes on nice and smooth, easily, not sticky. It makes your lips feel really moist but not glued together. It is not too heavy, and kissable, and holds up pretty well with food and drink. The vanilla taste is nice too, not too cloying or artificial. I use it every day, several times a day, and the tube is still going strong. Excellent value for the money.

It also comes in a really great raspberrry flavor. I bought mine through the Amazon Avon store, so prices may be different elsewhere, but it came promptly and the shipping was really reasonable as well.

Skin Care Basics: Natural Skin Care that Works

Skin care should not be complicated but it should definitely be beneficial, leaving your skin in better shape than when you started.

Natural products for the skin can not only cleanse and tone, they can add radiance to your skin without harsh chemicals, preservatives or artificial ingredients.

Herbs and other natural ingredients have been used for thousands of years as effective cleansing tools for the skin. The ancient Romans and Egyptians were famed for their beauty. Only in the past two hundred years have women turned away from traditional home-made skin care to ready-made, store-bought concoctions.

Some of these over-the counter soaps and treatments can have harsh side effects due to the man-made ingredients and chemical additives and preservatives.

Some of these skin care side effects include irritation, redness, pimples, and dry skin.

For a simple, smart skin care routine without chemicals and their side effects, why not consider using natural products that won’t strip or irritate even the most sensitive of skins.

For example, gentle cleansers made from chamomile are excellent. It helps clean the skin, unclog pores, and also serves to soothe your skin and prevent redness. (Chamomile can also be used as an excellent brightener for blond hair).

Another popular choice is cucumber, which has a calming effect on the skin, and can reduce irritation. It also has a wonderful cooling effect, and can be especially good for puffiness around the eyes.

If you have oily or combination skin, choose a cleanser that incorporates tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is a natural astringent, and in this case it decreases sebum production, and also bacteria. It penetrates deep into the pores, and this in combination with its anti-bacterial properties, can help prevent acne.

It has a cooling effect upon the skin as well, so it can be used as a high powered acne treatment, but without the redness and dryness which often goes hand in hand with trying to zap those pesky zits. Comfrey and seaweed can also help keep down acne.

People with dry skin should look for rich, soothing creams that incorporate nourishing and soothing ingredients like chamomile or frankincense. They enhance skin’s moisture levels, help retain moisture and firmness, and thus prevent wrinkling.

Natural skin care has many advantages over the typical store-bought products which are packed full of artificial ingredients. Natural skin care is healthful, safe, and inexpensive. If you have sensitive skin, or are disappointed with products you have bought to try to cure your skin problems, natural skin care products you can make in the comfort of your own home in small, ultra-fresh batches, may be your best skin care option.
