The Bath & Body Works Semi Annual Sale June 2019

Leave a comment

The June 2019 Bath & Body Works SAS is online today and starts in stores on June 10th. I love the SAS because it give me a chance to stock up on retiring and classic scents for a low price. You also never know what you are going to find in the bins at the stores.

You can typical find bins with products that are 75% and 50% off which means that you can get body care items for as low and $3! Also don’t forget to use your $10 off $40 coupon that Bath & Body Works e-mails out.

The scents that I’m interested in this year are: Black Raspberry Vanilla, Black Currant Vanilla, Cherry Blossom, Dark Kiss, Tangelo Woods, Butterfly Flower, Watermelon Lemonade, Rose Quartz, Twilight Woods, Grapefruit Breeze, Coconut Lime Breeze, Tea & Ginger, Wild Madagascar Vanilla, Velvet Sugar, Violet Lily Sky, Wrapped In Sugar, Pear Blossom Air and Cocktail Dress.

The Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale typically lasts about 3 weeks and new products are added weekly. Also be sure to shop different stores for the best selection.

Avon Limited-Edition Mesmerize Sports Car Decanter Cologne Review

2 Comments

Who remembers the Avon decanters? These were such a part of my childhood and I’m thrilled that Avon has brought them back.

The new Avon Limited-Edition Mesmerize Sports Car Decanter is here just in time for Father’s Day and it’s so sleek and cool.

First up the Mesmerize Sports Car Decanter comes in a super neat blue and white box that looks like a license plate and it feels hefty. The blue glass car has a deep sapphire hue and the cologne is Mesmerize which is a blend of zesty bergamot, cool cardamom and rich precious woods.

I had my husband do a sniff test and he was pretty impressed. It also looks neat on our dresser so a thumbs up from me too!

The Mesmerize Sports Car Decanter is coming next Tuesday (may 14th) and you can shop the entire Mesmerize fragrance line online right here. Avon even has a Mesmerize Soap On A Rope!

Avon Anew Vitamin C Antioxidant Lip Treatment Review

Leave a comment

I am pretty excited about the new Anew Vitamin C Antioxidant Lip Treatment. I am always on the hunt for a good Summer lip treatment and this one is my new favorite.

The Avon Anew Vitamin C Antioxidant Lip Treatment is an orange stick that has the consistency of lipstick with a light orange scent.

It has vitamins C and E for lip conditioning and you can wear it alone or under your favorite lipstick. I’ve done both!

I like that I can wear this one alone to the beach or on a hike or put it under my lipstick for extra moisture. I feel like it works really well under matte shades too. I’m almost 50 and I love how it make my lips look and feel. It’s not sticky at all and feels sheer on my lips. The orange scent make it even better as I love oranges!

Too Faced Dew You Fresh Glow Luminous Face Primer Review

2 Comments

I just picked up the new Too Faced Dew You Fresh Glow Luminous Face Primer and I am loving it! This is going to be my new Summer favorite.

The Dew You Face Primer comes in 3 shades: Radiant Pearl, Radiant Nude and Radiant Carmel. I have the pearl shade. It’s super translucent.

What I love about this product is that it’s super moisturizing and it smells like watermelon and cucumber.

As described, Dew You is completely weightless. I hate wearing heavy products in the Summer and this one feels so refreshing on my face. I also found that it works so well under my make-up. I am a huge fan of the It Bye Bye Under Eye Waterproof Concealer and when I apply this concealer over the Dew You it feels amazing! No more tugging under my eyes, it just glides right on.

I would call the Too Faced Dew You a fresh primer that makes my skin feel light and refreshed and I love that I get a little bit of glow without a hard shimmer. I truly do feel luminous!

Go Green with the Brand New Avon Starter Kits for April 2019!

Leave a comment

Avon has completely revamped their starter kits for April 2019 and it’s easier (and greener) than ever to join. Starting today (April 3rd) you can join Avon for $30 and get a free gift.

Avon is going green! The old Avon starter kits had a lot (and I mean a lot) of paper products (like an order book, catalogs and flyers) for door-to-door sales. However, the new kits are more “green” and geared toward the digital Avon rep which I love. Being an Avon Rep in 2019 means less paper waste and more online interaction. I rarely use the Avon books, instead I just send people to my digital brochure which I can e-mail, text and share on social.

The new kits also make it easy to sign up friends and family because they get an awesome gift for just $30 (and just 2 catalogs). My favorite choice is the My BFF: Best Face Forever set because it includes the Anew Ultimate Supreme Dual Elixir which is a $34.99 value and one of my favorite products.

What’s cool about Avon is that you can make it your own.

  • You can buy new products and demos for yourself and family.
  • As a beauty blogger you can review Avon products for your blog. $30 gets you a nice set of Avon best sellers to review.
  • Sell to friends and family with your eStore link or sign them up to be on your own team for $30.
  • Branch out and start building your business and team. The Avon KickStart Program for new reps lets you get 40% off your first order and more incentives when you reach sales goals AND you get fun incentives like High Five — For every 5 of your customers who place a qualifying $50+ order in your online store, you’ll earn a $25 bonus.

So the sky is the limit (big or small) depending on how much time and effort you want to spend — and it’s a lot of fun.

So, Easy as 1-2-3 to be an Avon Lady in 2019 — Sign up for Avon for $30 and choose your FREE Gift (up to an $84 value) — this includes shipping.

The ColourPop Disney Villains Collection Review

2 Comments

This week I picked up 3 of the ColourPop Disney Villains set and the Disney Villains Misunderstood Palette from Ulta and I am thrilled!

The collection consists of — 6 Disney Villain sets which each include a Lux Lipstick, Ultra Glossy Lip, and Super Shock Highlighter. I picked up Cruelle, Maleficent and Ursula. The art on these packages is amazing!

The lipstick shades tend to but on the dark side but you can layer the Ultra Glossy Lip gloss on top for a buildable look.

Separately you can purchase the the Disney Villains Misunderstood Palette (which I got) and 6 Jelly Much eyeshadow and 2 Glitterally Obsessed sparkle shades.

So far I am loving the palette it’s much darker than the ColourPop Disney Princesses Palette. You can see my vs. video below!

Overall I am loving the entire collection as it’s prices very reasonable — the sets are $25 and you can use your Ulta $3.50 coupon. I am also loving the versatile looks I can get with both the shadows and the highlighters. All the products are buildable and beautiful!

Yay for the Disney Villains! The entire Villains PR collection set is $250, oh how I’d love this!

Dillard’s Clinique Bonus Time Spring 2019

2 Comments

I just picked up the new Dillard’s Clinique Bonus gift with purchase for March 2019 yesterday. I spent exactly $29 by getting two of the Take Off The Day face wipes which I love for $14.50 each. The bag was then free as a gift with purchase! I believe this one ended yesterday.

See what I got!

Urban Decay Elements Palette is WOW!

Leave a comment

I think one of my favorite eyeshadow palette purchases of 2018 was Urban Decay Elements Palette that’s now $26 but currently out of stock : ( — but Urban Decay been known to restock sale items online.

Elements is like Star Trek, meets Boy George — err, ok that’s a little weird. However, these shades have an 80’s Culture Club feel to me.

My favorite is the shifty Fortune Teller shade (to the right of the bright blue one) that looks grey but is actually “metallic pink-red with green 3-D sparkle and shift” YES!

I also the brown Moon Rock shade which is “metallic copper with iridescent sparkle”. The greens have a Slytherin quality, unfortunately I’m not much of a green eyeshadow girl but they are pretty!

The case is gorgeous too with a sparkly rainbow cover and huge mirror. I love a good mirror!
