Avon X The Face Shop

Mono Pop Eyeshadow Palette (reg price $22) Sale Price $18

A combination of matte and shimmer - these shades will give you the most beautiful eye looks!  

Mood Brown Palette


Also available in Mood Coral


Ink Lasting Cushion Slim Fit Foundation
(reg price $31)
Sale Price $25

This makes my makeup routine so much faster!!  Zero spill potential - yes!!  You press the cushion into the makeup cushion to soak up the pigment (feels like a liquid) and then in a few easy strokes voila you have your makeup!  It also contains Niacinamide a natural brightening ingredient for radiant skin!!  Here's a link to a great video from Avon with tips for using your Cushion Foundation.





Ink Lasting Foundation Slim Fit 

If you want full coverage - you got it with this!!  This formula is amazing and long lasting but at the same time weightless and feels so smooth.  I use our Flawless Makeup Applicator $5 (featured below) and this gives you a perfect application!  
(reg price $27) sale price $22




Rice Water Cleansing Foaming Cleanser & Facial Wipes

Rice Water Foaming Cleanser 
(reg price $13) sale price $11

Hands down this product is my biggest obsession from this new line!!  I honestly felt like it was a spa experience when I washed my face the first time.  A creamy texture that lathers up into a rich foam - includes rice water and soapwort extract that leaves skin clear and bright!  It is a brightening product so keep it away from your eyes.  The tube is HUGE - such an amazing value!!


Rice Water Cleansing Facial Wipes
(reg price $11) sale price $9

I have tried numerous wipes - from Avon and other companies.  These are my favorite to date!  The biggest difference I noticed from other wipes I've tried is that these leave your skin sooo smooth!  Usually wipes are pretty harsh or leave your skin sticky - not these!  

Cica Recovery Cream
(reg price $42) sale price $34

Another product that has become an obsession and staple in my skincare routine!!  This cream boasts strengthening ceramide that helps restore the moisture barrier.  The subtle and beautiful lemon scent is a sweet, refreshing bonus when you apply this.  The BEST benefit of this cream is that it has soften and visibly reduced the acne scars I had around my chin.  


Moisture Cushion Blush
(reg price $16) sale price $13

Another product in the cushion family is our Cushion Blush - and what a beautiful soft color this gives!!  If you're not sure about where to start with blush and where to apply - just dab a bit of this on your cheeks and you'll have beautiful rosy glow!  Available in Red, Coral, and Pink.  Shown here in Pink


Moisture Cushion Highlighter
(reg price $16) sale price $13
I love highlighters and glow!!  Especially as I age - I like to have a little hint of something on my cheekbones and this is the easiest dab dab dab.  You can throw this in your purse - don't have to worry about having brushes with you and can update your glow as you go about your day.  Definitely check this out!!


Root Touch Up
(reg price $18) sale price $15

An instant way to cover up your roots!!  With scalp nourishing Ha-Soo-Oh herb, black bean, and ginseng.  Built-in mirror. Travel friendly.

My Top Winter Essentials

We are getting some cold nights so here is my updated and expanded Top Winter Essentials blog - those products that I reach for when the temps drop and the skin gets dry, lips get cracked, and hair is a mess!!

You can shop all these amazing products at my site www.youravon.com/jsmith9525 

Skin So Soft

This iconic line is one of my absolute favorites all year round but especially during Winter!  

First up is our Skin So Soft Moisturizing Shave Oil $6.50
Say bye bye to razor burn!  This product is unfortunately on the discontinued list (I have definitely fought for this to stay in our product lineup) so you need to grab this now!  This oil is amazing before you put on your shaving cream.  


Skin So Soft Original
Iconic.  The Skin So Soft Original - I remember using this oil growing up - it was a staple for mosquito filled nights at the lake.  And it is an amazing moisturizer!! 
 Spritz this on after a shower and you are set.  $6.99 

Bath Oil Spray


Skin So Soft Original Gelled Body Oil $7.99


Skin So Soft Bath Oil $15.69 16.9 fl oz
A few capfuls of this oil in your bath and your skin will feel amazing!!



Skin So Soft Soft & Sensual
Body Wash 
Another iconic scent - this one reminds me of vintage glam feminine scents!
A spicy floral that you will love - my husband always comments when I use this body wash and body lotion.




Lip Care / Lipstick / Lip Balm / Lip Gloss

Winter leaves your lips craving moisture!!  And these products below with natural oils will moisturize and brighten your smile!

This is the best for everyday!



Dr. Belmeur Daily Repair Cica Moisturizing Lip Balm $12.00

This line is top notch!!  Our advanced microbiome formulas with prebiotics and para-probiotics help to balance and soothe your skin.  The body wash is my favorite!!  It has little capsules in the body wash that hydrates and moisturizes your skin to protect against winter weather!
$20 Body Lotion  $18  Body Wash



Hair Care with Argan Oil

This is an absolute necessity for me throughout the year and especially during the winter!  It leaves my hair looking healthy and vibrant.  I use this every single day! $10.49


Elastine Botanicals Hair Care Line
This line is hands down one of the best values in the Avon brochure right now!

Three lines to choose from depending on your haircare concern:  
Volume?  Rosemary & Sea Salt
Frizzy Hair?  Avocado & Quinoa (my personal favorite!)

Skincare / Makeup 

Our Hydra Fusion line is a mega hydrator and the perfect addition to your winter skincare regimen.   And this product right here - amazing!!  I use this serum at night on the days when my skin starts to really feel dry.  Skin instantly looks plumped with our highest concentration of hyaluronic acid, which can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water for immediate and lasting hydration.
$24.99


Dr. Belmeur Cica Recovery Cream $34
WOW!  This product right here literally has transformed my skin over the past year or so.  I am a firm believe in cica!  Cica is known to relieve irritated skin, strengthen the skin barrier, and gently moisturize.  I can't recommend this product enough!!



Isa Knox LXNEW Clean 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleansing Balm $24.99
Melts away makeup and impurities.  Enriched with panthenol (vitamin B5) and bamboo stem powder.  This feels so gentle and effective on my skin.  I had never used a cleansing balm like this before and really love it!  A little goes a long way so it lasts a long time!



I have a number of favorite cleansers for my winter skin needs - the cleansing balm above from our Isa Knox line for sure!  Two others that I find myself reaching for more and more are these two:

The Face Shop Rice Water Bright $11
This gentle formula lathers up with a creamy foam including rice water and soapwort extract that leaves skin looking clear and bright.


Isa Knox Anew LX Ultimate Rejuvenating Gel to Oil Cleanser $15.99

I wasn't so sure about this cleanser when I first started using it.  Is it a gel?  Is it an oil?  But my oh my this leaves my skin feeling so nice and glowy!  I have become a believer in this one and find myself reaching for it more and more.


Physiogel Intensive Cream for Face
$31.99
I use this every single day in the winter!  I use it to really boost my skin with hydration but also as a primer underneath my winter foundation and the application of my foundation just glides on!  I just reordered this the other day because I cannot be without it!


Cashmere Complexion Longwear Foudation $24.50
This line has 30 shades to choose from!!  You will absolutely find your perfect match.  This is extremely longwear - looks amazing all day and is the most natural looking matte application.  Highly recommend this one.


I will be continuing to update this page because there are so many more of my favorites that I need to add to this but wanted to get this out to you so you can be prepared for these dropping temperatures!!
Thanks for checking out my blog!  And please feel free to pass my blog along to any friends or family who are looking for products to help with all their skincare, bodycare, and makeup needs!
