Top 10 under $10

Greetings!  This post is going to be fun and also challenging - how do I pick just ten of my favorite products I have so many!  But I have pulled out my ABSOLUTE faves that are amazing values - and any time of year we want those products that are going to give us the most bang for our buck am I right?!  

This list is highlighting the value you get for your dollar.  These products below are favorites of mine - products I use almost every single day and see amazing benefits from!  Affordable products don't mean cheap or ineffective - affordable, effective products are those diamonds in the rough that we are all searching for.  Well....search no more because here are my Top 10 under $10 Avon products that give you value for your hard earned dollar!!

1.  Advance Techniques 360 Nourish with Morocan Argan Oil Leave-In Treatment

This one sneaks in right under $10 at a price point of $9.99.  I have used this product on my hair pretty much everyday for years!!!  The oils nourish my hair and leave it looking hydrated and vibrant!  


You will get 50 wipes in this click seal package.  These wipes are the most gentle I have ever tried (don't leave my skin stinging) but they are also the best in effectiveness.  My makeup comes off in a breeze with these.  Great for traveling, your gym bag, and in your medicine cabinet.



I have been selling Avon for 14 years and I'm pretty sure this lip balm has been around the entire time.  Why?  Because it's freakin' awesome!  There's no weird residue after you apply, there's no fragrance, and it does what it's supposed to - hydrate!  I love the packaging because everyone can throw them in cars, backpacks, etc and it's not pink or purple just basic for every member of the family.  When I buy these I usually stock up and buy about 10 at a time!
(photo shows 3 but they are $1.39 for 1)


4.  Mascara - I am cheating a bit here lol!  I am putting 3 mascaras down but they count as 1 spot on my list.  That's okay right?

Let's break down these three picks shall we?  The Love at First Lash Mascara is if you want your eyes to POP and by POP I mean POW!  This mascara is absolutely the best for date night or any day you want a lash that's going to make a statement.  The SuperExtend Nourishing is my personal favorite for everyday - have it on right now.  It comes in two shades and was an Allure Magazine Beauty Winner.  The Wash Off Waterproof Mascara is a super favorite of my customers for pool days in the summer and for one customer a beach wedding where the tears were flowing but not her mascara!





This Shave Oil is a miracle worker!  Apply this onto the skin and massage in, then apply your favorite shaving cream.  You will avoid the irritation when you apply this oil as your base.  My legs feel amazing after a shave!!  Highly recommend this one.  I always have it in my shower.  



When the Glimmershadow Liquid Eyeshadow line debuted I was in love from the start.  They are so fun to create with and makeup to me is my art time - it's calming and therapeutic in a way.  My absolute favorite in the line is the Matte Sateen selections - especially Sunstone - a beautiful shade for every day of the week.  Do not miss checking these out!!  



This bath oil spray is iconic to Avon - I'm sure many of you like me revisit your childhood when you smell this oil.  Growing up on the Michigan lakes - we often used this as our bug spray.  The moisturizing effects of this spray is top notch.  


Okay, so this product is not glamorous at all - but man does it deliver results.  My heels crack so bad sometimes that they hurt walking.  This antifungal spray starts to clear them up within days of using it.  My Dad also swears by this spray.  If you've tried everything else and need something to help those heels give this a shot!

This line just recently debuted and wow me and my family are in love!  For this price point - this conditioner gives incredible moisture and vibrancy to your hair.  The smell is so relaxing and we ordered more and more of it.  There are two other targeted hair concerns in this line - volume and moisturizing - in cherry blossom and rosemary & sea salt.


10.  Bug Guard $7.99 and up

I cannot say enough great things about our Skin So Soft Bug Guard line!  I have this in both cars, in the house, out on the porch, in the hiking pack, etc.  We do a lot of hiking in the deep woods and this works amazing to keep the bugs at bay - and by keeping the bugs at bay also keeping lyme disease at bay.  There are many choices in this line and one of my favorites is the Picaridin Spray and also the Bug Guard Towelettes.  The towelettes are moistened wipes that will fit right in your hiking pack, boat, RV, camper, etc and they come individually wrapped.  I love those for the areas around the neck you don't want to spray directly.

When I saw the first pics of these lip crayons I was in love from the start.  I couldn't wait to try them and was hoping that they hit all my must-haves in a lipstick - creamy, low fragrance, and beautiful shades.  This line hit those marks and then some!!  I absolutely love them and ordered all six shades!  These shades are wonderful for every day and all seasons.  To increase the color payoff on these just swipe a few more times when applying.  $9.99 each sale price

Avon Newsletter June 2020


NEW Belif Skincare - As I've shared before, our merger with LG Beauty has allowed Avon to bring in other skincare lines - which means you get expanded options and exciting new products from skincare lines from all around the world!  This skincare line combines time-trusted apothecary herbal traditions with modern Korean skin science.  This line has been a best seller at Sephora and I am very excited that Avon is carrying this line too! 

The entire belif skincare line has NO synthetic dyes or fragrances, mineral oil, animal products, parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

Belif Aqua Bomb - 70% increase in hydration - "this ultralight water-based gel cream instantly cools skin and helps visibly improve skin elasticity.  Lady's Mantle is the highlight in this cream - an herb known for its antioxidant benefits!"  $38 Full Size Shop here: https://www.avon.com/product/belif-the-true-cream-aqua-bomb-70707?rep=jsmith9525


Belif Moisturizing Bomb - A wonderful cream for dry skin - "this indulgent cream is a whipped texture that envelops skin with intense, long-lasting moisture.  Suitable for sensitive skin."  This cream is my favorite in the belif line!  $38 Full Size Shop here:  https://www.avon.com/product/belif-the-true-cream-moisturizing-bomb-71506?rrec=true&rep=jsmith9525



Belif Jelly Cleanser - This lightweight cleanser is a gentle, soothing cleanser for those days where your skin really had a tough day - maybe in the hot sun of the summer or the cold winds of the winter.  It has a very light lemony scent.  Very nice cleanser!!  $28

NEW Waterproof Lip & Eye Makeup Remover ($8 sale price) - 

This works so well!!  I have been waiting for Avon to carry an oil/water makeup remover for years and it is here.  This is gentle yet effective at taking away your makeup even waterproof! Shop here:  https://www.avon.com/product/waterproof-lip-eye-makeup-remover-72485?rep=jsmith9525

NEW Dr. Belmeur Cica Peptide Ampoule ($36) - 


As you guys know, I have absolutely fallen in love with the Dr. Belmeur Cica Recovery Night Cream ($34) - cica is an ingredient that has amazing healing properties and I have seen great results with reduction of redness around acne scars in my chin area.  So I was really excited to try the Ampoule which also contains cica and peptides!  Peptides are really helpful for the skin and this serum did not disappoint!  Highly recommend both these products.

NEW Jewelry has arrived and our Modern Abalone Collection is the perfect summer collection!  I have always been a fan of abalone - this stone with its teal, blue, and green shimmers reminds me of being by the lake - which is my favorite place to be.  I received the ring in my last shipment and it's gorgeous!  


Here is a link to the collection on my website:  https://www.avon.com/search/modern_abalone?cel_id=modern%20abalone%7CT_modern_abalone&rep=jsmith9525


Speaking of jewelry - we have some new men's pieces that are fantastic!  I ordered the Men's Stainless Steel Textured Cross Necklace $29.99 for my father for Father's Day and was blown away at the quality of this piece!  It's heavy weight yet would still feel totally comfortable when worn.  Shop here:   https://www.avon.com/product/mens-stainless-steel-textured-cross-necklace-72280?rep=jsmith9525
