Avon

Oh..oh..ohhh..it’s MagiX

Besides my fondness for QVC, you will find that I have a lot of Avon products, too. It’s really hard not to, nowadays, since they have really upped their game with their products, the prices (and sales) are very good and it doesn’t hurt that I have an actual little Avon walkin store that is close to my house.

One of my favorite Avon products, actually one of my any brand favorites, right now is Avon’s MagiX Face Perfector SPF20.
MagiX Oh..oh..ohhh..its MagiXThis is Avon’s colorless gel-powder primer. I gotta say, I just got on the primer wagon this year and this is by far my favorite that I have tried. It just sets so nicely, with a light powdery finish, that is so subtle but is so effective. I rarely leave the house now without putting some of this on – and this comes from the “Eh, maybe I’ll just put on some tinted moisturizer before I head out…..or not” girl. Now, this might be similar in texture/finish as the Monistat 7 trick, but I never got around to trying that. But, with this having an SPF of 20 already built in, it’s already better that that anyway.

This usually runs for $10, but it seems like Avon is always having a sale. I know the last sale I saw it was buy one/get one 1/2 off so I picked up two, which ended up being $7.50/ea. Hard to beat that for something so good, imo.

Just the 10 of us

Okay, really, when did I become the girl with 10 lipglosses/lip balms/lipsticks in her purse? Seriously, this is what I have in my purse RIGHT NOW:

C.O. Bigelow Cinnamint Mentha Lip Shine (Remind me to tell you about going to the original apothecary)
SoftLips Cherry Lip Protectant (mmm…cherry)
Philosophy Green Apple Flavored Lip Shine (OMG, seriously, I eat this stuff off my lips)
Hershey’s Almond Lip Balm (I have *such* a soft spot for Almond flavor/scent)
Blistex Lip Infusion Soothing Splash (this is like putting water on your lips)
Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick (my first “fancy” (upscale) lipstick)
MAC Petting Pink Tinted Lip Conditioner (my current fave!)
CoverGirl Mauve Shine 490 TruShine LipColor (pretty color – mauve looks good on me)
CoverGirl Petal Shine 425 TruShine LipColor (so light, but goes well over others)
Avon Sparkling Mauve Ultra Color Rich Lipstick (got this after I wanted to try it on – mauve – again)
bareMinerals Brillance Lip Gloss (From the Champagne Diamond collection on QVC)(see?)

Okay, maybe I just don’t want to take any of these out, because it seems like they are all mostly different, but still….wow.
