I love this product! These moist pads do a wonderful job of renewing the radiance in the skin on your face.
Plus, did you know, that this was a Winner of the Allure Magazine Best of Beauty Award for Best Peel! It was also featured on The Dr. Oz Show http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/breakthrough-wrinkle-fighters?fb_comment_id=fbc_10150594425102726_21440899_10150664220947726
I prefer to use it at night before bed, because it does leave a slight sticky feeling that I wouldn't want to try to apply makeup on top of. Most times I rarely top it off with a night cream. I like to just leave it and let the product do it's job and not dilute it with any other creams.
There are 30 generous sized pads to a jar. I've have a tip for you! Cut them in half! Place them in a zip tight baggy, and take with you when you travel! There is plenty of product in 1/2 a pad for your entire face! If you use the full pad, don't forget your neck, and, you will still have even enough left to go across the tops of your hands!
Start off using this once a week. After your skin has been conditioned to the product, you could go ahead and use twice a week - no more. I use mine once a week, and that's just enough.

Outspoken Intense
Saturday, August 13, 2011 Outspoken Intense by Fergie
I don't want the name of Fergie's new fragrance to fool you into thinking that this new scent is a more intense version of Outspoken. Where as the original Outspoken is composed of the notes of tuberose, ebony, leather, wild saffron and vetiver; definitely a more bold fragrance, the new Outspoken Intense is quite different. The name comes from the feeling Fergie gets before going on stage - Intense. Here is the description of Outspoken Intense directly from Avon.com:
Shining starfruit, and luscious passion flower warmed by a sexy warm base.
Top Notes: Succulent blackberry, shining star fruit and luscious kumquat.
Mid Notes: Vibrant purple passion flower, lush gardenia and velvety orange flower petals.
Base Notes: Sensual musks wrapped in white amber and blonde cedar
The top notes of berries and kumquat are delish. The blackberry note is almost like a bowl full of berries you just pulled out of the refrigerator, and sprinkled lightly with crystal sugar. To my nose it is not overtly sweet, just enough to make your mouth water and want more. Nothing about Intense is too much, even the floral part is just enough, not too heady. I definitely pick up on the creamy gardenia, and for me the gardenia is a tricky one. I love it in real life, but in fragrances sometimes comes off as too much, but not here it's really nice.

So, my interpretation is this: It's uplifting, a little sweet tart, burst of adrenaline. Easily worn on a day to day basis, but equally as nice for an evening out.
Raccoon Eyes?
Friday, August 12, 2011Skin Break-Outs
There used to be a day when I would buy different skincare products from the drugstore or other makeup/skincare lines, that would give me horrible skin reactions. Many times when using an eye cream, the skin around my eyes turned red, rashy and stung terribly. I looked like a raccoon, and couldn't go anywhere until it subsided. It was horrible! Other times, I would end up with acne the next morning, resulting from the new lotion or cream. Another problem that I used to have was suffering from both an oily t-zone, AND dry flaky patches in the corners of my nose. Arrgh!!
Well, I'm pleased to say that I suffer from only one of those issues anymore, that being the oily/shiny t-zone. I guess the good thing there is that I still must have some youthful qualities to my skin, if that is still a problem. Since I've been using Avon exclusively for the past 5 years, I've noticed a huge change in my skin. I no longer suffer from those dry patches around my nose, nor have I EVER broke out in a rash from any Avon product - ever. Now I'm not saying that I don't think anyone else will ever break-out or or will never have an allergic reaction from Avon products, it's just that I've had really great results.
If you are fed up, and looking for a new direction in your skincare regime, give Avon products a try. Send me an email. I would ask you to take the online skincare quiz/evaluation. After evaluating those results I'd be more than happy to give or send you some samples of the skincare products that I think might be beneficial to you.
I'm pleased to say that I've helped out numerous other customers in finding good skincare products that work for them and fits into their budget. Avon usually has some really good sales to take advantage of and stock up on.
Stop wasting your money at the local 5 and dime. I know, I've been there, and done that. Give Avon and the Avon guarantee a try. You just might like what you see!
