Hi there! This time I'm going to review Avon's Anew Rejuvenate Flash Facial Revitalizing Concentrate that I am currently using.This gives a mild minty feel with each use. It has small bluish glitters. After two weeks of using it my pores became a little smaller and my skin smoother but my problem is that it also made me breakout a little which I didn't expect. The smell is also a little off. The good thing is that the product is not oily by itself and that it didn't made my skin oilier and I can use this under my liquid foundie/bb cream.

Pros:

• not oily
• made my pores a little smaller

Cons:

• a little expensive
• gave me a few pimples
• no spf

Overall this is an okay product.

Rating: 2.5/5 stars

Avon Skin So Soft Mineral Gems Diamond Blush Body Wash and Body Lotion

This is a review of Avon's Skin So Soft Mineral Gems Diamond Blush Body Wash and Body Lotion Set. I really like its identical scent and not to mention affordable too. Let's start with the Body Wash. :)

 

Variant: Mineral Gems Diamond Blush
Net Volume: 150mL
Sale Price: Php149          Original Price: Php300
Made in the Philippines

This body wash has a really nice scent but I can't smell it after rinsing. :( The Glitters also goes with the water. The good thing is it leaves my skin soft even after scrubbing. It contains Vitamin E so it's good. :D

Pros:

• Leaves skin soft
• Has Vitamin E.

Cons: 

•  No scent left on my skin after rinsing.

Net Volume: 150mL

Sale Price: Php149          Original Price: Php300

Made in the Philppines

 The lotion i like! :) Although this has no spf I like this because it has a nice scent! This also has glitters but not so much so it is tolerable even for daytime. Contains Vitamin E. But I tell you the diamond powder does nothing on my skin.

Pros:

• Nice scent
• has Vitamin E

Cons:

• No spf

Overall 4 stars for this collection!

Avon Lovely In Pink by Sweet Honesty Collection

 

Hello! Today I'm gonna make a review of Avon's Lovely in Pink by Sweet Honesty Collection. This collection has an EDT, a skin softener, and a deodorant. This also has a purse concentre version but since I already got the EDT, I.ve decided to skip it.

Let's make a review of the EDT first :)

 

Net Volume: 50mL

Sale Price: Php399          Original Price: Php750

Made in the Philippines

"Glamorously feminine, 

Charming and lovely."

Ingredients: SD- Alcohol 40-B, Fragrance, Water, Cetrimonium Chloride, Ext. Violet 2

I was first drawn into this scent when it first came out a few years ago. It's a lovely scent perfect for everyday use. It last for about two hours or so which I think is okay enough considering it's price. 

>>Rating: 5/5 stars

And now the Skin softener:

Net Weight: 150grams

Sale Price: Php149          Original Price: 375

Made in the Philippines

Ingredients: Water, Mineral Oil, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Myristyl Myristate, Petrolatum, Propylene Glycol Stearate, Fragrance, PEG-40 Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Carbomer, Beeswax, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Choleth-24, Methylparaben, Ceteth-24, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA

This skin softener does wonders! I had this terrible allergy and even if I had prescription ointment, I took a risk to use this product on the dried allergy patches on my skin and it really made my skin soft and moisturized. It made the patches less itchy too! This product does contain Paraben, Mineral oil and petroleum but for me it's okay since it's a great skin lotion (this is too runny to be a body butter) and it's affordable. All Avon Skin Softeners have the same ingredients except for the scent. I have tried this in 2 other scents.

>>Rating: 5/5 stars

For my review on the deo:

Net Volume: 40mL
Sale Price: Php69           Original Price: Php140
Made in the Philippines

Ingredients: Water, Aluminum Chlorohydrate, Steareth-2, PPG-15 Stearyl Ether, Dicapryl Adipate, Fragrance, Steareth 20, Isopropyl Palmitate

This works like any other deodorants and antipersperants. The scent is the same as the other products in the collection. The only downside of this product is that it doesn't dry off quickly. This has the same ingredients as the other deodorants in Avon's other scent collections except for the scent.

>>Rating: 4/5 stars (1 star off because it doesn't dry off quickly)

All in all a great collection! See you in my next review. :)

Avon - Clearskin Blemish Clearing Advanced Spot Control

Net Volume: 25mL
Sale Price: Php99          Regular Price: Php149

Ingredients: Water, SD Alcohol 40-B, Propylene Glycol, Salicylic Acid, Ethoxydiglycol, Trideceth-9, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Ammonium Hydroxide, Fragrance, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Hamamelis Virginiana (With Hazel) Extract, Punica Granatum Fruit Juice, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract

It's active Ingredient is Salicylic Acid 2.0%. This is for immediate pimple control. I use it on my new zits and it minimizes it just after one application. A must have for troubled skin.


Pros:

• Immediate action for newly grown pimples
• in gel form - fast absorption

 Cons:

• it could dry out the skin
• it stings 

Rating: 4/5 stars

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.

Rating: 4/5 stars

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.

Rating: 5/5 stars

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

 Rating: 2/5 stars

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.
