Naturally, the giddy beauty fanatic in me popped these tubes and bottles open the day I received them. Read on my two cents after the jump! :)

Swatch love:

Skin So Soft Signature Silk Replenishing Hand and Body Lotion
Anew 360° White Transforming Mask
Extralasting Liquid Eyeliner in Black
Healthy Skin BB Cream in Nude

Skin So Soft Signature Silk Replenishing Hand and Body Lotion
250ml, PhP 290

Immediately boosts skin’s moisture and lasts for 24 hours. Silkplex technology lavishes skin with the essence of luxurious silk and Time-Release formula targets and moisturizes the right areas.

In terms of slip, sheen, and moisture, I like this lotion. It decently moisturized my A/C parched skin the minute I applied it. The only thing that sets me back from highly recommending this is the long-lasting scent — it’s too feminine for my personality (which might be a big plus for some!). At 250ml, used twice a day, I think this will last me at least a month.

Anew 360° White Transforming Mask
75g, Php 499

how much I use for my entire face

Skin dullness is attributed to melanin and the 50 billion toxins such as free radicals that bombard the skin every week. One way to protect the skin and bring back its clarity and translucency is to apply a weekly treatment such as Anew 360°White Transforming Mask. Aside from melanin, toxin such as free radicals within skin would also hurt your skin.

Anew 360° White Transforming Mask’s fine massage beads stimulate the skin and instantly smoothens the skin by gently removing dead skin cells while Avon’s patented whitening ingredients dramatically whiten skin.

How to use:
Apply on cleansed face, gently massage for 1 minute and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Use 2 to 3 times per week.

Application:
Apply right after washing your face with your favorite Anew Cleanser. For best results, use
together with your Anew 360 White regimen to transform your skin to its whitest white.

I’ve used this mask 5x and while I haven’t seen any drastic whitening changes, I didn’t breakout into zits nor hives (YAY!). The most benefit I can tell I got from this product’s the slight addition of radiance and translucence on my skin. :) It’s very relaxing and soothing to use at the end of the day which makes this a must-have treatment for me.  

Healthy Skin BB Cream
18g, PhP 399

Helps conceal skin imperfections and provides medium coverage. Vitamin A, C, and E apple root extract help protect skin from the harmful effects of the environment while UVA/UVB SPF 20/PA++ helps protect against sunburn and tanning, and Vita-Complex helps nurture skin. Use on its own or under your favorite foundation.

Just squeeze a small amount on your fingers and apply like a foundation. Blend well for a flawless, even complexion.

Available shades: Light, Nude

Ahhhh finally! Avon has jumped into the BB cream bandwagon! I’ve been using this as a tinted moisturizer for almost 2 weeks now and I’d say it’s ok for daily use. It’s very light and a-OK in my book in terms of perfect shade match and staying power. It gave me a nice dewy glow too that didn’t create an oil mine wreck after 2 hours (which is my common BB cream woe).

Sassy Swirls Eau de Toilette Purse Spray
15ml, PhP 475

Go ahead, treat yourself! Wear these indulgent purse sprays alone or together for a customized confection.

Mmmmm. This one I love. I love love love vanilla but I don’t want it too spicy and overwhelming. Vanilla Blossom’s glazed with the right sweetness thanks to the velvety violet and vibrant pink peony petals swirled with enticing, warm vanilla. The Avon Sassy Swirls Eau de Toilette Purse Spray is also available in Vanilla Bean (sparkling mandarin, exotic sandalwood and lush orchid swirled with irresistible, rich vanilla) and Vanilla Berry (pure decadence of tart, raspberries and blackberries swirled with sweet, delicate creamy vanilla). If the latter two scents come off as described, then consider this long-lasting fragrance a cult fave!

Extralasting Liquid Eyeliner
2.5ml, PhP 250

Intense liquid color glides over lids without smudging or fading.

This one gets my two thumbs up! I feel bad that I can’t give the swatch some serious justice but this non flaking, long-lasting eyeliner pens on a gorgeous gunmetal (LOVE!) black line. It’s been a staple for me since the day we met whenever I need to put up a dressy glamrock ’do. I like setting it with Monave loose eye shadow in SABOTAGE for that added ooomph!

A complementing mascara called Extralasting Mascara (7g, PhP 420) is also available for us to get up to 7x more volumized, thicker lashes. I haven’t tried it but it’s supposed to be fade-proof, transfer-proof and smudge-proof. Unlike the eyeliner that’s only available in the sultry shade of black, the mascara also comes in brown black for us to achieve those naturally dark, full, and dreamy lashes.

These fresh finds from Avon should be available by now through Avon Ladies (call 8642900 or log on to www.avon.com.ph to find one near you) nationwide.
