Avon Makeup - Sale Going on NOW!


Did You Know Avon Makeup Can Save You Money?


Before I sold Avon Makeup you could consider me a “Makeup Snob” I loved my department store brands like Lancôme, Clinique, Este Lauder & Mac. I grew up with Lancôme & Clinique and knew those brands very well; they were a household name growing up, as my Grandmother & Mother used the products religiously, so naturally I leaned towards those cosmetics too. But my mother also used Avon on occasion and my Grandmother actually sold Avon once upon a time. So I was also familiar with Avon as well.



I started using Avon Makeup when I began selling Avon about 2 years ago. I knew the Avon Company had a great reputation and basically the products sold themselves but I hadn’t used Avon Makeup for a long time and I wasn’t sure what to expect. So the first thing I did when I signed on with Avon was order several Avon makeup products to try out and see if I could really make the switch. I figured if I was going to sell Avon I should probably start using it too, but again I wasn’t quite sure if Avon was going to compare to the other brand favorites I had used. I was a little nervous, and while I was waiting for my order to come in I kept thinking, "What if I don't like Avon Makeup? How am I going to sell something I don't care for?!"



Well, it’s been about 2 years since my first Avon purchase and I now use Avon regularly. I no longer go to the department stores to purchase my makeup or skincare, nor do I miss it. Now as with any makeup line, I did have to go through a couple of items to find one that suited me best (like the foundations), but ultimately I have been very impressed. And now that I use Avon makeup regularly I’ve also noticed something else, I am saving lots of money!!! With Avon Makeup not only do you get the same great quality you would expect with a higher priced brand you also save up to 50% on regularly priced items compared to higher end cosmetics, and when there’s an Avon Sale the savings are even better!



Here is an example:
Competition Avon Savings
Clinique Perfectly Real Makeup 24.00 Ideal Shade Liquid Foundation $10.00 $14 Savings!
Lancôme Virtuôse Mascara 25.00 SuperCurlacious Mascara $9.00 $16 Savings!
Mac Technakohl Eye Liner 14.50 Glimmersticks (Lip or Eye) $6.00 $8.50 Saving!
Check the Avon Comparison Chart here to see how much you can save!

Compare Avon Makeup



Now you may be saying, “OK, Avon Makeup is better priced, but how about the quality? Does it really compare to Lancôme or Clinique?"



YES, Avon Makeup has the same quality and benefits as the leading department store brands. Year after year Avon has won prestigious awards for being a leader in Makeup/Skincare breakthroughs & technology, and loyal customers throughout the world swear by the product results. The company has been around for 125 years so I think it’s safe to say they're doing something right!



If you haven’t tried Avon Makeup I encourage you give it a try. With more money in your pocket you have nothing to lose. If you have tried makeup from Avon, I'd love to hear what your favorites are.

Avon Anew Genics

Avon Anew Genics Making Skincare History!



Avon Anew Genics Treatment Cream
will be making its debut in the Campaign 21 Avon Catalog and it looks like Avon hit the target with this one.


If you haven’t heard the news, Anew Genics is the latest addition to Avon’s popular Anew anti-aging regimens but unlike the other Anew products that are each specifically designed for individuals in their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, Anew Genics is made for individuals of all age groups who want younger looking skin and looking to improve wrinkles, discoloration, and firmness.

Now as you may know Avon has a dozen anti-aging creams all designed to preform wonders on our skin, I use them and have had great results, but Anew Genics is different and can’t be categorized as just another anti-aging treatment from Avon. This little jar of miracles goes beyond treating just the skins surface it goes deep into the skin cells with a patented Youth Gene technology to stimulate Youth Gene activity.

The Youth Gene, discovered by researchers in Italy found that everyone has a Youth Gene yet some people who live longer and healthier past 100 years tend to have a more active Youth Gene. This study inspired the Anew Scientists over at Avon and so by building upon the Youth Gene discovery found that by stimulating the Youth Gene in skin cells resulted in a boost of collagen, hyaluronic acid. This is huge in the Skincare industry and Avon is the first to discover such technology!

Anew Genics Facts:

Anew Genics is the ONE anti-aging treatment that everyone should use.

bulletAnew Genics Instantly Restores skins vitality & youthful appearance.

bulletSkin will look healthier, radiant and more alive Overnight.

bulletSkins texture will feel smoother in 3 Days.

bulletIn 4 Weeks you will see Improvement in discoloration by up to 100%. Dramatically reduces the look of wrinkles. Look

The Genics Treatment Cream is a textured cream that will leave your skin feeling silky smooth.

Genics is non-greasy, absorbs quickly and can be used by people with oily skin types

Genics has not been tested with people who suffer from acne. Avon recommends testing the product sparingly first to see it there is a reaction.

bulletGenics is designed to work with any Anew Regimen or other skincare line.

bulletGenics is formulated with a patented YouthGen Technology discovered by Avon Anew Scientists.

bulletAvon Anew Genics is sold exclusively by Avon.



How to Use Avon Anew Genics Anti-Aging Treatment Cream

Genics Treatment Cream can be used in combination with any Avon Anew Regimen. It replaces your current nighttime moisturizer and is used once a day at night. The moisturizing qualities in Genics is comparable to Anew night creams so it can be used instead of your Anew nightly moisturizer. When used nightly, Anew Genics Treatment Cream can dramatically reduce the appearance of discolorations, age spots and wrinkles, while visibly improving skins firmness. Anew Genics Treatment Cream can be applied to the undereye area and crow’s feet but you should avoid the eyelid

Your current Anew Regimen or other skincare regimen can be used with Genics as follows:

1) Anew Cleanser morning & night

2) Moisturize 2 times a Day: Day Cream with SPF for the Day & Night Cream use Genics or Emulsions

3) Eye Cream Am / Pm

Anew Genics can be partnered up with any of Avon’s Anew products except the Anew Night Creams and Emulsions as Genics replaces those items. If you use Avon’s Clinical line Genics Treatment Cream would follow your Clinical product. The general rule of thumb is to apply product from lightest texture to thickest texture. Here are two examples:



1) Cleanser

2) Serum (example: Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum)

3) Genics

4) Eye Care



1) Cleanser

2) Genics

3) ThermaFirm Face Lifting Cream

4) Eye Care


More About Genics and the Youth Gene

Everyone has a Youth Gene, Avon discovered a function of it in skin cells, it produces protein that helps skin cells act younger. Age, environment, sun exposure and just ordinary day to day living can cause this Youth Gene to slow down causing noticeable aging effects. Genics with patented YouthGen Technology re-activates the Youth Gene in cells, re-charging it and helping skin cells act younger.

Avon Skin So Soft Lotion : A Review

Avon Skin So Soft is one of those products that continue to be an all-time favorite and tradition for many Avon fans. I had never used Skin So Soft lotion, but I had heard good things about it and knew eventually I had to try it if I wanted to be a good Avon Representative. I had to find out what the hype was and if it really made my “Skin So Soft”.

I ordered my 1st Skin So Soft body lotion about 2 years ago when I first became an Avon Representative. They had a bonus size bottle of the Skin So Soft - Soft & Sensual Replenishing Body Lotion on sale for only $5.99 at the time and it was an offer I couldn’t refuse. At 33oz, the bonus sized was 3x the size of the regular bottle so it was a perfect time to try it.


When my order came the first thing I noticed was how big the bottle was, which made me really happy knowing I got a great deal for what I paid. Here is the description of the lotion that was on the back of the bonus sized Skin So Soft bottle:

Taken directly from the Skin So Soft label...
"Replenishing Body Lotion transforms skin with lasting sensual softness. This luxurious lotion instantly hydrates every inch of you, leaving skin feeling softer and smoother. At the same time, it’s time release formula targets dry areas to deliver moisture when and where you need it most, leaving skin looking sensually soft and irresistible to touch. Easily absorbed, never feels greasy."

Wow! Those are some big promises on that Avon Skin So Soft bottle! But you know what? Avon really delivered. I used the lotion in the evening before I went to bed and I have to say I was very impressed.

First the Avon Skin So Soft “Soft & Sensual” scent is very pleasant, it has a nice fresh floral fragrance.

The lotion is not thick yet it goes on smooth and spreads nicely and it does absorb easily. It’s perfect for the summer when you want a moisturizer that’s light and not sticky or greasy. I prefer using this lotion for the spring & summer rather than year round just because my skin gets extremely dry in the winter. I use Avon’s Moisture Therapy Intensive Treatment Body Lotion for the winter months because it’s very thick, but that’s a different review!

So did the lotion make my “skin so soft”? Yes, it really did! The next morning my arms & legs felt very soft and hydrated! I really like this lotion!

Avon Skin So Soft body lotion has become a part of my own bath & body regimen and now I've become a fan of the Skin So Soft products by Avon too.


Year after year all have proven to be great in quality, economical, and an Avon tradition. If you haven’t tried any of the Avon Skin So Soft products I highly recommend them. To view the Avon Skin So Soft product line click on the above links to view current sales and to order from my Avon Representative website.

Skin So Soft Insect Repellent - Just the Facts

Does Avon's Skin So Soft Bath Oil Really Work as an Insect Repellant?

Does it Really Protect Against Mosquitoes?


Or is it an Old Wives Tale?



Our Mothers and Grandmothers have sworn by it, and even a Google search on the topic will give you thousands of results as well as a 101 more uses for the bath oil! I've been asked so many times from my customers whether the Skin So Soft Mosquito myth is really true? I had to get some answers! I needed to know!
But after searching the Internet I came up with no more info than what I started with. I found many websites with comments from users who had sworn that the Skin So Soft product worked for them as a bug repellent, but at the same time, there were the same amount of reviews that said it didn't work. So a bit confused, I ditched the Google search and went straight to the source. Who else but Avon themselves would have the answer. I couldn't find any information on the Avon.com website but with a little digging I found it on my Avon Representative pages!
So to clear the air once and for all on the Avon Skin So Soft Insect Repellent myth here is the official statement directly from Avon.
Skin So Soft Bath Oil is not an insect repellent. It is a moisturizing bath and body oil product.
Skin So Soft Bath Oil is a moisturizing bath oil, not an insect repellent. Therefore, it is not registered as such with the EPA, and we may not make insect repellent claims about it. Please see the complete line of Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Insect Repellents for all your bug repellent needs.
So there it is, Avon has not confirmed nor denied the myth but in so many words has said " It's Just a Bath Oil! "
Now that's not to say Avon doesn't have an Insect Repellent line, in fact they took full advantage of the the Skin So Soft myth and came up with a great repellent from what else, their Skin So Soft collection. The Skin So Soft Insect Repellent is called Bug Guard is an 8 hour insect repellent that provides protection from mosquitoes, gnats, sand flies, no-seeums and biting midges. It's hypoallergenic, and dermatologist-tested. It comes in a variety of mosquito repelling products to choose from for the whole family and is safe for children.
Skin So Soft Bug Guard uses a patented technology and is Deet Free it's active ingredients are:
Picaridin which is an effective alternative ingredient to DEET. It has a low odor, with a light, clean feel. Picaridin, also known around the world as KBR3023, or Bayrepel (trademark of Bayer AG) was developed by Bayer. Picaridin has been used worldwide since 1998, and is one of the best selling active ingredients contained in insect repellent products in Europe.
IR3535 is a non-greasy, effective repellent that protects against a broad range of insects. It is a gentle formula does not have to be washed off after use or returning from the outdoors.
Both ingredients are highly effective that allow Avon flexibility when developing new repellent products. Both meet Avon's high standard for product performance.
