Face Painting
UPDATE: Ladies, I’m going on two days now with the new AVON product and so far so good. Works just as well as Smashbox. I would totally order a bottle and check it out for yourself.
Hi my name is Camila and I’m a make-up product junkie.
I swear I am a marketer’s dream client. If it’s in cool packaging preferably pink and has a snappy name then I’ll be sure to pick it up. I’m always trying new products out and when I find something I love watch out. I become the PR ambassador for the company.
My latest great find also comes with a thrifty option as well. So depending on your price point you have your pick.
A couple of weeks ago while at Ulta I had a complete impulse buy at the register. I had always wanted to try Smashbox’s Face Primer and they had a trial size version right within my reach. The primer goes on before your foundation and it helps smooth out your skin along with having SPF 15 and helping your make-up last longer. I fell in love with it and have been using it everyday. My only problem is that I would love for the price to be bit lower. My small bottle was $17 and a normal size one goes for $42. In the grand scheme of things that’s not that bad, but I was on the search for a thrifty option.
Enter Avon. At work we had an AVON catalog doing it’s rounds. I had never ordered anything from Avon, but decided to give a couple of things a try, because the prices were unbelievable.
I jumped with excitement when I saw their latest new product: MagiX Face Perfector! It claimed to do everything that Smashbox’s Face Primer did along with a higher SPF. What’s not to love? I ordered it and received it a couple of days ago. I decided to try it out this morning and so far it’s perfection. Plus the price is amazing! Only $10 bucks and right now they are having a buy one, get one half off promotion, which means you can order 2 for $15.
I’m one happy lady with my latest find.

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
