OK. I received several products from Avon to try out and review, but I want to focus on the SuperExtend Mascara since you can get this mascara for $3.99 for a limited time and I don't want my readers to miss out on a great deal! Once the deal is over, it goes back to the regular price, which is $8.50.
Thanks to Lash Allure MD ($49.50), my eyelashes are thick and somewhat long. The SuperExtend Mascara makes it look like I'm wearing falsies, which I wish I was an expert at applying! I received the black, and I plan on getting the other colors as well - Navy, Brown and Brown/Black. It visibly lengthens lashes up to 55%. The molded brush works with their unique super-stretch formula to coax and comb every lash up, out and away. Innovative stretch-formula with unique triangular-shape fibers lengthen lashes beyond belief. Best of all, the waterproof formula is very easy to remove with eye make-up remover. Personally, I use coconut oil to remove since it makes my lashes soft and lush.

Melvita has been a pioneer in the field of organic beauty for more than 25 years and a passionate advocate for the complete organic lifestyle. Melvita has received several awards from beauty editors and magazines for the quality and expertise of its products in France. Melvita is the most quoted brand in French cosmetic « bible », a famous french cosmetics written by Laurence Wittner.
All of Melvita's products carry the prestigious certification by ECOCERT, France’s leading organic certification organization. They are made with a unique blend of nature’s own treasures. Melvita favors the use of the finest ingredients from organically farmed and responsibly harvested sources, with respect of nature being their priority. Their products remain natural and organic, while feeling luxurious, and being extremely effective.
Melvita is involved in a pro-active approach to sustainable development, with preservation of environmental: beauty, biodiversity, and balance. They make every effort to promote ethical, humane, and fair-trade partnerships. 
I've been using the Melvita Hydrastim Moisturizing Gel ($34), which is great for dehydrated skin and oily/combination skin. It combines the benefits of noni, mourera and aloe vera in an organic certified face care product. I haven't used it on my face all the way since I didn't want it to conflict with some of the products I'm currently using. I liberally apply this around my eye area for smoother and firmer skin as their site promises. I haven't used it long enough to reap the full benefits, but I like how instantly the eye area appears naturally brighter and revitalized.
Hydrastim provides lasting moisturization for dull and dehydrated skins and helps to reduce expression lines . The gel combines aloe vera, the extract of an Amazonian river plant, mourera fluviatilis , and hyaluronic acid derived from soya, which all provide remarkable hydro-regulating effects to keep the skin at its ideal moisturization level. This action is reinforced by a protective complex based on honey, lemon pectin, phospholipids and an extract of noni, a Polynesian plant with cleansing, anti-free radical and revitalizing properties.

Let’s face it – although Spring may be just around the corner, the warm weather is more than a few weeks away. And unfortunately, the pale skin trend that has captivated so many Twilight fans is starting to fade. Still, there is no reason why we should wait in vain for the sun to come out. While the cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore may not agree, a healthy year-round glow does not require hours at the tanning salon!
Legendary skin care company Sothys offers a luxurious product line that brings out the warm tones in your skin. The Cellu-Guard® line improves skin tone and firmness even when the weather is most drab. Sothys’ mission in creating their new products was to create a simple approach to year-round healthy color. Let the remarkable results of these tantalizing products speak for themselves.
Sothys Soins Soleil Cellu-Guard Repairing Age Defying Face Care $44
A lotion carefully formulated to protect the skin from aging and to help retain suppleness. A tinted texture gives a sublime tanning effect upon application.
Sothys Soins Soleil Cellu-Guard Self Tanning Cream $38
Within a few hours, this non-tinted cream formula gives a natural, sublime and long-lasting tan to the skin. Its velvety texture is enriched with moisturizing ingredients for a supple look and a radiant complexion. The lightweight formula glides smoothly over the skin, ensuring a streak-free application every time.
For seamless color, be sure to exfoliate your skin completely before applying a sunless tanner. Before applying, thoroughly rub lotion into your elbows, knees, ankles, and any other extra dry areas to balance out the color. Apply the cream evenly as you would a moisturizer. In just a few hours, you'll look like you spent the weekend in the tropics, without risking damage to your skin.
Have you ever heard of a sugar scrub that you can use from head to toe? Me neither until I tried out the Body Frosting Sugar Scrub in Jumpin' Juniper ($16.49), which is bright blue and purple. It smells very perfumeish, and is very gentle on the skin. You can use it before shampooing for a shiny flake free head of hair, to exfoliate your legs after shaving, scrub your heels for softer feet or use it as a facial scrub for glowing results! Most scrubs this versatile would be costly, but not In Kristine's Shower. This body scrub is available in two different sizes and is available in over 30 scents. We love the sound of scents such as Pink Cupcakes, Sunny Days and Vanilla Sugar - yum!
No boring lip gloss here. The Lava Gloss ($5) is very similar to a lava lamp. All you have to do is pick one up and turn it upside down, and you'll see how this unique gloss got its name. I received the Cheeky Cherry flavor, and I love it. It gives my lips a perfectly natural red tinge.
Filled with vitamin E, these will not only leave your lips glossy, they will leave them healthy as well!
I'm more of a shower person, but once in awhile I love taking baths and sprucing them up with bath oils or bath bombs. I was able to do just that with the Pack of 6 Bath Bombs ($10.49) that I received. I honestly don't know what scents that I received since the package wasn't labeled, but each bath bomb smelled really good. I really liked that they were slow at dissolving. My skin felt soft and moisturized after the bath. I was impressed that these bath bombs didn't make the tub greasy like some had in the past.
These Single Bath Bombs ($2), Pack of 4 Bathbombs ($7.49), Pack of 12 Bathbombs ($17.99) and Men's Bathbombs ($1.80) are also available. Feeling a little generous? Check out the Bucket 'O Bombs Gift ($17.50).

Erin Hamlin is a talented luger famous for breaking the German dominance in her sport at the World Championships last year. Though we're impressed with her athleticism, we also love the warm pinks that set off her natural skintone and beautiful face. Get a similar look using Rosie Jane's Cheek Gloss in Rose ($24).
Nicknamed "Super G" for her incredible energy and athleticism, Gretchen Bleiler is both a natural beauty and a talented snowboarder. What we love about Grailer is her natural glow and charm that seem to highlight the energy she's so famous for. A bronzer with a gold tint (like Bed Head's Glamma Bronzer ($27) will help you get her perfect glow.
From Great Britain, Chemmy Alcott is known not only for her skiing skill, but for her ability to overcome adversity. We think she's one of the most beautiful athletes in the Olympics. Her simplistic approach to make up is seen here with a very minimal lip sheen and overall natural look. Use a lip balm like Rosebud Salve ($6) to keep that natural color.
Orglamix Mineral Eye Color $8
Urban Apothecary Mineral Sheer Tint $38
DuWop Original Prime Venom $20
Blinc Mascara $24
Sibu Repair & Protect Facial Cream $20

Fibs, fables and falsehoods – with all the tell tale urban legends surrounding adult acne, how is one to determine what’s true and what’s false in the world of skincare? Renowned dermatologist, Dr. Kenneth Beer, dives in and faces the - myth vs. fact - brawl head on. 
Myth #1: Acne is caused by the food you eat.
Fun Fact: Have you banned chocolate and pizza from your diet in hopes of clearing your skin?
No need to fret! After dozens of research, there is zero evidence that our diet influences acne production.
Myth #2: “Popping” pimples will make them go away.
Fun Fact: Put your hands where we can see them and step away from the mirror! Squeezing pimples will actually make acne worse, as it can lead to infection as well as scarring.
Final Verdict: Patients should never pick at their pimples!
Myth #3: Acne is caused by poor hygiene.
Fun Fact: Acne is not caused by lack of washing and can actually be worsened by washing your face too often. Washing 2x a day (morning and evening) is all that’s necessary for a squeaky clean face.
Myth #4: Acne only occurs in females.
Fun Fact: Acne occurs in both males and females, and is often more common in males because of the male hormone androgen which increases oil production.
Myth #5: Acne can be cured.
Fun Fact: As of yet there is no cure for acne. However, there are numerous treatment methods to control it effectively.
Myth #6: Treatment for acne is just cosmetic; it’s ok to wait it out.
Fun Fact: Time is of the essence! If acne is not treated promptly, it can lead to severe acne scarring which can be permanent.
You’ve undoubtedly heard some buzz around the new Vaseline Sheer Infusion body lotion, and you’ve probably seen the video about the “Stratus 3” technology that was used to create it - but have you had the chance to try it for yourself? If you have, then you probably know that it IS what it claims to be – a breakthrough in body lotion that won’t break your bank account. If you haven’t tried it yet or you’re at all skeptical as to whether or not it lives up to this claim, I invite you to check out a few responses from a some real women we met at the mall. Visit http://see.walmart.com/vaseline-sheer-infusion and if you’re not convinced by rave reviews from real consumers, then scroll down the page to save $1.50 and try it yourself!
Blemish Potion™ is an all natural, paraben-free topical solution for healing and drying skin breakouts. The combination of ingredients in this fast acting potion will heal skin breakouts, sometimes after one or two applications, without drying out the surrounding skin! Since Blemish Potion™ is manufactured in skin toned colors, it can be applied to the breakouts during the day and can easily be blended with foundation or used alone to match various skin tones.
Each product is packaged in a box depicting a whimsical, colorful reproduction of Lito Cavalcante’s abstract art combining Friends From Brooklyn’s appreciation of all things beautiful with the extraordinary effects that the Skin Abstract™ line of products achieve.
Ingredients:
The Blemish Potion™ ingredients are state of the art within the skin care industry and paraben-free.
The active ingredient is sulfur which is an antibacterial agent.
Inactive Ingredients Include:
Vitamin E which acts as an antioxidant
Aloe Vera which improves the skin’s ability to hydrate itself, aids in the removal of dead skin cells, and is effective in transporting healthy substances through the skin
White willow bark which has been used to reduce pain and inflammation since the time of the ancient Egyptians
Zinc is used for wound healing and anti-acne benefits; camphor which has a cooling effect and has a slight anesthetic and antimicrobial properties
Salicylic acid which is a multi functional product - it exfoliates the surface of the skin as well as penetrates into the pore to reduce white heads and black heads and has anti- microbial properties.
My Thoughts:
Lets say you have a pimple the size of the Grand Canyon and you have a job interview or a hot date tomorrow, this product is a must have since it practically works overnight by dramatically downsizing the pimple or eliminating it altogether! It also works great as a concealer. The smell of it isn't pleasant at all. It also stings a little, but I highly recommend it if you can get past all of that. Whatever you do, don't shake it. Just use the applicator and apply it on the affected area morning and night.
Availability:
Blemish Potion – Light
Blemish Potion – Dark
Blemish Potion – White - Nighttime Formula

Pink mud on your hair? You bet! It is made with white clay (kaolin) to help stimulate circulation in the scalp, whilst soothing watercress helps leave the scalp calm and comfortable. The apricot kernel works vigorously to moisturize and condition your hair, leaving it revitalized and with improved manageability. I used this on own hair, which is rather dry and naturally wavy. It is fun and easy to use. It also makes my hair feel well pampered. I use it every other week to keep my hair feeling soft and manageable. I apply it on after shampooing my hair and let it sit for 15 - 20 minutes. It truly makes a difference in the condition of my hair. The smell isn't bad either. It doesn't have a flowery scent like most hair products do. The scent is indescribable, but still pleasant none-the-less.
It is ideal for dry, damaged or chemically treated hair. It also works wonderfully as a skin conditioner and can be used on sunburn and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
I love using facial sprays, especially when the weather is nice and warm. I first fell in love using a facial spray after using the Jurlique Citrus Purifying Mist ($21 - $31), and the Floral Spafresh is equally impressive! It is great to use when I want to tone my skin or set my mineral make-up. It is formulated with rose, neroli, tangerine and geranium. These ingredients will make your face feel refreshed in-between cleansing and moisturizing. This product is suitable for all skin types, especially dry and sensitive.
I honestly don't like using anything that is too abrasive for my skin. Their Refining Skin Polish is very, very gentle, which makes it ideal for sensitive skin. It is formulated with soothing ingredients: nutrient rich plankton, fossilized earth and hop extracts. It gently removes all of the dead skin cells to help reveal a more beautiful you - natural tone and texture. This skin polish will prepare your skin before applying make-up or further treatment. It is suitable for all skin types, especially dull, lifeless, tired and congested skins.

Add a little sparkle to your life with the Burlesque Showgirl Shimmer Shower Gel ($12). It provides a rich, lathering foam and a delightful almond scent. This shower gel is a great addition to your bath or shower experience. 
The Princess Velvet Body Icing ($13) is pure fun and gives new meaning to "icing on the cake"! It's packed with shea butter and cocoa butter which are known to have healing properties. This body icing sinks into the skin quickly and true to name, it makes your skin feel velvety soft. Like the Burlesque Showgirl Shimmer Shower Gel, it has a delightful almond scent that makes this body icing almost good to eat!

The Bodifier Volumizing Spray does everything it promises to do. For thin hair, it adds body, texture and best of all - support! It is formulated with unique micro-polymers that dry quickly. It gives the boost that lifeless hair needs. It also provides a strong hold that makes it easy for you to brush through, along with built-in humidity resistance and UV ray protection.

The leading all-natural plant therapy ointments on the market today. Using bio-active plant extracts found in nature to heal and restore delicate tissue.
Since 2001, Théra Wise® maintains a commitment to providing the most efficacious bio-active All-Natural Therapeutic Ointments available on the market today. Théra Wise® products can best be described as clean, natural plant therapy ointments.
Their aim is to pioneer a new direction for over the counter therapeutic ointments, combining modern science with time tested “body friendly” natural bio-active plant ingredients low impact manufacturing processes, and environmental sensitivity.
I received the VpR - Bio Active Vaporizing Decongestant Rub and Ac+ - Bio Active Acne Ointment, both valued at $19.99. I'm impressed with both products so far.
VpR - Bio Active Vaporizing Decongestant Rub is THE BEST decongestant rub I've used up-to-date. I have sinus problems, especially in this type of weather and I've been relying on this product to help me breathe much better. Vicks doesn't have anything on this product!
Contains:
Eucalyptus Leaf Oil, White Pine Oil, Peppermint Oil, Camphor Oil, Asian Berry Wax, Organic Rose Hip Seed Oil, White Thyme Oil, Bitter Orange Oil, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Oil (Containing- EFA's, Tocopherol and Phytosterols), Vitamin A, C, E, Olive Oil Emulsifiers and Waxes, Natural Plant Preservatives
I've been trying out several acne products lately, and the Ac+ - Bio Active Acne Ointment is one of my favorites. It works real well at reducing inflammation due to acne. It penetrates the pores and dries out acne effectively without drying out your skin in the process. No chemical smells here either! This ointment has a refreshing, minty smell. It is also thin enough to be worn underneath make-up.
As opposed to most chemicals treatments (dermabrasion, chemical peels, benzoyl peroxide (BP), salicylic acid and corticosteroids) that compromise the integrity of the skins natural defenses, Ac+ uses a methodology that balances the skins ecoflora and activates the macrophage cells that are responsible for the skins immunologic response. The ecoflora is a major factor in protecting the skin against the colonisation of undesirable pat hogenic bacteria.
Contains:
Witch-Hazel, Tea Tree Oil, Organic Tamanu Oil, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Marine Algae Extract, Barley Beta Glucan Concentrate, Aloe Extract, Organic Rose Hip Seed Oil, Alpha Glucan, Vitamin A, C, E, Olive Oil Emulsifiers and Waxes, Natural Plant Preservatives

The inner crease of the eye is darkened up to the brow with the shimmery deep blue gray (eyeshadow in lucy I'm home). The outer area is rounded, softly muted blackness. The center of the eye is the lightest, with darker edges (inner and outer corner of eye) ending in black (eye couture palette). Apply blue lagoon only in the center of the top and lower lids. Blend the blue into the gray and then into a bit of the black. There should be a bit of the blue and silver gray (eye couture palette) blended in the center of the lower lashline. Apply smolderEYES in the inner rim of the eyes. Top it off with a coat of lights, camera, lashes! mascara on the top and bottom lashes (no curling needed). Leave eyebrows-do not fill in. After finishing the eyes, clean underneath with the eraser 4-in-1 natural concealer.

Betsey Johnson's Fall 2010 beauty look was inspired by the sexy, superstar actresses in the cowgirl "French" western film, Las Petroleras (1971). Betsey's own gang of bad girls channel Brigitte Bardot's lust for adventure, exhibiting unassuming sexiness that's as captivating as it is liberating.
For a windblown, cowgirl look that’s playful and sexy, Sebastian Professional lead stylist Thomas Dunkin suggests the following steps:
Generously spray Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray throughout damp hair for workable volume and texture.
Blow dry hair and set it with medium and large-sized Velcro rollers for height and body.
Once the hair has cooled, remove the rollers and lightly cover hair with Shaper Zero Gravity to create added texture and separation.
Create authentic cowgirl flair by separating hair into two loose, tousled pigtails and decorate them with torn fabric or thin leather ties. Finish with Re-Shaper.
How to Get the Look with Sebastian Professional:
Thomas Dunkin suggests combining stylers that work together to create volume and texture. Try:
Volupt Spray – Volume-Building Spray-Gel ($19.95)
Shaper Zero Gravity – Dry, Brushable, Lightweight Control Hairspray ($15.95)
Re-Shaper – Brushable Humidity-Resistant Strong Hold Hairspray($16.50)
The scientific principle behind Sensa is remarkably simple. As you eat smell and taste receptors send messages to your brain which release hormones that tell your body it's time to stop eating. This is a phenomenon we call Sensory Specific Satiety. By enhancing smell, Sensa Tastants were designed to help speed up the process and trigger your "I feel full" signal, so you eat less and feel more satisfied. Because Sensa works with your body's natural impulses, rather than against them, there are no feelings of hunger or intense cravings.
I received the Three-Month Sensa Starter Kit, which includes month 1, 2 and 3 shakers, How-To Guide and Getting Started DVD. Since I have two sisters who have struggled with their weight throughout the years, I gave one of them this kit to try out. My sister loves, loves, loves sweets and I honestly did not think this was going to work for her, because let me be frank - she loves junk food too much! Since my brother is getting married in August, she decided it was time to do something about her weight. She started using Sensa October 9th, 2009. She was weighing 165 and has lost over 30 lbs. since using this kit. My sister still loves her junk food, but she eats only a small amount now - thank goodness! She loves Sensa so much that she has even shared her weight loss success with her co-workers. One co-worker told that she was going to order since she has been struggling with her weight as well.
Sensa was designed to work with your sense of smell to help you feel full faster and eat less. There are no pills, stimulants, drugs or special foods to buy. And Sensa is calorie-free, sugar-free, sodium-free and gluten-free. It is utterly tasteless. You can eat whatever you want and it will not affect the taste of food. I even sampled a very small amount myself.
You can try the Sensa Trial Kit FREE for 30-days, (but will be given a 60 day supply) and receive a $25 discount card to Glow.com. Glow.com is the next generation beauty e-tailer.
