Avon Nailwear Pro Nail Polish in Fuchsia

Avon Nailwear Pro in Fuchsia

Avon's Nailwear Pro Polish in Fuchsia is a great spring & summer color!
The shade is not as "loud" as it might sound. I know some shades of fuchsia remind me of neon pink-really bright. This particular shade is deep pink with a subtle undertone on purple & shimmer. I think this shade would look great with a tan or against darker skin tones.  2 coats is all you need with this polish & it's long lasting.

Avon Anew Clinical Retexturizing Peel / Pads Review - By Dawn



Avon Anew Clinical Retexturizing Pads



I had used this product years ago and just recently purchased again & I'm so glad I did. When I was younger I guess I didn't notice the positive effects as much as I do now...a tad older.
 Claim:

*The at-home answer to chemical peels.
*Peels away dullness and visible age damage so healthier skin cells can surface.

Description:
* 1 easy step See results superior to a professional 35% glycolic  peel.* At home.
*No appointment necessary.
*The advanced exfoliator safely retexturizes and resurfaces skin. *Formulated with soothing botanicals, it helps nourish and calm skin.

Comes in 30 unscented pads, which can last well over a month if you don't use daily.

 Since using the pads my skin has cleared up from break outs. Older blemishes,red spots,discoloration has improved if not been removed entirely. Fine lines have seemed to disappear. In general my skin looks and feels smoother, softer & brighter.

 The pads contain glycolic acid which in simple terms breaks down & removes dead skin on the surface to reveal fresh clear skin underneath. It also help with blemishes. The first few applications it might sting, but it does go away in a minute or two. Over time it goes away.

At initial use-the first week or so I noticed minor skin flaking which is good because that was the dull dead skin that has been sitting on my face was being removed. I did some type of facial scrub once a week to sloff off the dead skin.

 I think this products would be beneficial to most age groups and various skin types as it is a great exfoliator which we all need.

Avon ClearSkin Blemish Clearing Spot Treatment

I don't suffer from break outs as much now as I did in my younger days, but I remember it vividly & know what a blow to your confidence it can be to walk around with a huge blemish on your face.

Now I only get one occasionally, but I've found it crucial to have a few products on hand when it happens. I scar easily & once I get a bad blemish or scab I carry the red mark /scar for months before it goes away.

I purchased Avon's ClearSkin Blemish Clearing Spot Treatment initially  just because it was on sale one day. A few weeks after my purchase I had the opportunity to use it when I started to get a couple culprits on my face. 

I am very pleased with the results this product has given me.
Uses:For the treatment of acne. Clear up current blemishes & helps prevent new acne blemishes from forming.
What it Claims To Do:
*Clears up acne pimples & helps prevent new blemishes.
*Attacks acne on the spot.
*See results in 24 hours
How To Use:Apply to clean, dry skin.
Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer.
Apply 1 to 3 Times Daily 
Active Ingredients:SALICYLIC ACID 2.0%
My Results:*Blemish was not as red the next day after 1st application
*Did not over dry my skin or cause irritation
*Seemed to calm the affected area so it wasn't as red/pink
*Blemish cleared at a much fast rate compared to other products I've used.

After applying the spot treatment just to the individual blemishes (not my entire face)  at night before I went to bed I noticed improvement by the next morning.  The blemish didn't seem as irritated & red like it was the night before.

In the morning I applied small dots over the blemish again before applying my make up & again at night before I went to bed.  In 2 to 3 days all of my break outs had cleared nicely. With out irritation, over drying, or extra redness.

I personally think this is a great spot treatment for acne. I would not necessarily recommend using it over your entire face as it comes in a small .5 oz tube.  With that said my tube has lasted me over 4 months. So, it's well worth it for the results you achieve & the price.

Avon has entire line devoted to clearing skin prone to breaks outs.

Advance Techniques Damage Repair Split End Mender

I have not been kind to my hair over the years to say the least. From flat ironing, coloring to highlighting. And after awhile it really began to show. My hair was rittled with split ends. I could hear strands snap at times when I'd brush out my hair. It was frizzy & had lost it's shine.  I knew I needed to get a product to help nurture my stressed stands back to health.

I have a cabinet full of products I tried in hopes of fixing my damaged hair, but none of them were very successful in the long run. Most gave a temporary fix which was gone once the product was washed out of my hair.

Then I tried the Advance Techniques Damage Repair Split end Mender by Avon.
It comes in a 5oz bottle with a pointed nozzle similar to a bottle that comes in a hair coloring box/kit.

The product has the consistency of a watered down conditioner. And does not have an oily serum texture that most split end treatments have. Which is were the temorary fix comes in with those products. Oil smooths the cuticle and when it's washed out you have frizzy hair again. That is not the case with this product.

There is a mild subtle scent to it that smells like a combination between a sweet conditioner with a hint of a medicated scent. It does go away soon after applying it to your hair, so for those who do not like lingering scents from a product you don't have to worry about that.
To Use:Apply a small amount to damp towel dried hair & style as usual.

I dispense a a pea size or more into the palms of my hands and rub them together & then start by scrunching it into my ends & then work through out the rest of my hair. Then brush my hair with a large tooth comb to ensure even distribution.

After application my hair does not feel greasy or weighed down. I have very baby fine hair, so I'd notice right away if this was a heavy product. It just obsorbed into my dehydrated stands.

After the first use once my hair was dry I noticed it felt very soft & didn't have that dry/crisp feeling it had before due to the damage. With that alone I was happy.

As each week went by with continued use I noticed that the general condition of my hair was getting better. It felt stronger & softer.  There was a healthy shine back in my strands &  my hair was no longer snapping or breaking when I brushed it or when used heat styling on it. I could tell it was less brittle & had stretch back in it.

It has been 3 months now since I first started using the split end mender & can say it saved my hair. And I can vouch to the fact that this is not a temporary fix product & that with continued use your hair becomes more healthy.

What It Does:
Repairs up to 95% of split ends, with regular use, and helps protect against heat styling damage.
Simply apply a dab to damp or dry hair to moisturize and protect from further damage. Why It works - Ingredients:Contains Creatine - Which helps strengthen hair
Conditioners - Restores moisture to hair & help prevent future breakage
Surface Smoothers-  Smooth hair cuticle

I wouldn't have thought that something costing around $8 would have worked so well at repairing my split ends, but I am happy to say that it has & would recommendit to anyone who has damaged hair in need of major TLC. Just remember this is a "treatment" which means you should use it regularly to get the full results.
