Avon - Clearskin Blemish Clearing Daily Astringent

 

Net Volume: 100 mL

Sale Price: Php149          Regular Price: Php189

Made in the Philippines

Ingredients: Water, SD Alcohol 40-B, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Thiodipropionic Acid, Ammonium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Trioxaundecanedioic Acid, Fragrance, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Extract,Bambusa Vulgaris Extract, Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extract

IMO, this should be called a 'toner' than an 'astringent because it is very mild, no stinging effect on my skin. Its active ingredient is Salicylic Acid 1.0%.  It can be used once to three times a day. Nice texture of the skin after application. It takes a few applications to minimize and finally clear out my pimples. I use this together with the soap/facial cleanser of the same brand. 

Pros: 

• very mild
• does not dry up my skin
• nice texture after application

Cons:

• makes my skin a little reddish after application
• does not control oil

Nice product for it's price.

Avon - Clearskin Blemish Clearing Foaming Cleanser

Net Volume: 100 mL
Sale Price: Php145          Regular Price: Php 189
Made in the Philippines

This one is way better that its soap counterpart. Its active ingredient is Salicylic Acid 2.0%. It dried my pimples. But it should be rinsed with warm water to see its full effect. I pair this with Clearskin Daily Astringent (to be posted after this).

Pros:

• it's affordable
• dried my zits
• it has Glycerin 

Cons: none ATM

 Nice product for oily/problematic skin like mine.

Avon - Clearskin Blemish Clearing Cleansing Soap

Net Weight: 90 grams
Sale Price: Php109            Regular Price: Php179
Made in Thailand

 

This soap has big scrub kernels (ground seeds maybe) but I can't scrub this soap directly to my face because I think it's harsh to the face for the scrubs are too big. Its active ingredient is Triclocarban 1.5%.

This soap didn't minimize nor prevents zits. But it didn't cause my skin to itch or breakout either.  I already finished 2 bars but I think I'm switching to another brand/product. Too bad I stil have 2 more bars- I'm just gonna use it on my body instead. :(

Pros:

• didn't cause me break outs
• it has Glycerin

Cons:

• didn't do anything to my pimples
• no oil control
• I think it's a bit expensive for a plain cleansing soap

The color is a nice peachy pink.

I really like the color of this gloss. It's like a gloss from candy town. The only issue is that it contains  mineral oil. I don't hate nor love that ingredient. But if I can find a product without it, it would be much better. :)

Pros:

• It's only Php 60!
• 12 colors to choose from
• it's not sticky

Cons:

• It contains mineral oil

Overall nice product. I'm currently on my second tube. :)

Avon Eternal Magic Eau de Toilette Spray

 

 An ethereal portrait of velvety rose and orris reveals a sensuous trail of soft vanilla and fluffy woods.

Net volume: 50 mL

Price: Php 1,200      Get this on sale for only Php 599

Made in the Philippines

Ingredients: SD alcohol 40-B, water, fragrance, Benzophenone-3, Glycerin, Tris(Tetramethylhydroxypiperidinol) Citrate, CI 14700, CI 42090, CI 60730, Disodium EDTA

My aunt gave me this last year but I didn't use it till now. For me this can be used by anyone 20 and up. It's a bit heavy to be a summer perfume but I 'm using it despite the hot weather becasue I really like the drydown - woodsy vanilla. :)

Honestly I wouldn't buy this if it's not onsale. Php1,200 is expesive for a 50mL bottle of Avon perfume. Good thing it does go onsale but I wouldn't repurchase yet since I asked my aunt for another bottle so all in all I have 2 bottles to finish.

Sophie Martin Paris - Sophie Compact Powder

Shade: Natural
Net weight: 8g
Price: Php190
Made in Indonesia

 Ingredients: Talc, Corn (Zea Mays) Starch, Mica, Polymethyl Metacrylate, Dimethcone, Squalene, Zinc Stearate, Diisostearyl Malate, Dimethyconol stearate, Methicone, Quaternium-15, Fragrance, Tocopheryl Acetate.
May contain: CI 77891, CI 77491, CI77499

 This product comes without a box but is sealed. I just tried this powder today. Although there is fragrance listed in the ingredients, I don't smell any fragrance at all. Coverage is sheer. The texture is very milled powder so it feels nice when you touch your face.

This is a very small compact, perfect for those who always carry a small bag. But it has no mirror attached so have to bring another compact or a mirror for your touch ups. Pic posted for size comparison.

Pros:

• no scent detected
• lightweight
• fits in your small bag
• not itchy in my skin/ no break outs
• affordable price

Cons:

• has no spf
• only 2 shades available - Light and Natural
• oil slick after an hour or so.

I'm a heavy user when it comes to powders for I rarely use liquid foundation. This 8gram powder will only last at least a month on me. The shade is a bit darker for me so I think I should have bought this powder in Light Shade. It's a nice buy for those with normal skin (use moisturizer with spf first before putting this on) but for people with oily skin I suggest you try something else like Sophie Martin Paris' Koshize T-zone powder which I will try to get my hands on once it gets stocked (It's OOS last time I checked)
