Mineral Blush Makes me... well... Blush!

Avon's new lightweight loose powder blush, Smooth Mineral Blush, goes on so smooth and even I was literally stunned.  I usually struggle to get my blush looking perfect (not clown-like) and with this one, I put forth minimal effort (I'm lazy so minimal effort is great!)  I have been wearing "Blushed," which is a deep rose color in the container but leaves a lovely delicate rose color on my pale cheeks.  It blends right and leaves cheeks literally glowing (that after workout glow I love, but hate to work out for).  Aside from how lovely this looks on cheeks, I have been experiencing sticker shock from it, but not in the way you'd think.  The blush retails for only $9.00, which is amazing.  Check out the collection and you'll be sure to find a shade that perfectly suits you.  I am a click-a-holic when I'm on the site, so I tend to buy more than I ever could need.   Eh, that's why I have a job - to buy beauty products.

Affordable Glamour

For some reason I always picture Avon to be for old people.  I remember the Avon lady coming to our house, carrying a large case filled with products my mom and I would "need" to make our lives complete.  I also remember we always had a spray bottle of their signature bug spray on hand for mosquito season, which came in very handy in New England.  But, as I grew up, I strayed far far away from the products that really seemed to be about fixing sun damage and preparing skin for the not-so-delicate process of aging.  But, with their new line, Mark, I am once-again drawn back in.  One fabulous, of the many fabulous, products I am passionate about is the Hollywood Pink perfume.  Simply delicious.  It smells of chocolate with notes of freesia (sounds nasty as I type it, but I swear it smells amazing).  I even bought the shower gel and lotion because at the crazy low prices, how could I not own the full set.  The scent really sticks with you and smells much more expensive than it's $15.00 price tag.  Also, it comes in this adorable white glass container which I imagine would look perfect on a vanity.  It looks equally impressive on my dresser, but I just wish I had a vanity.
