A review of the @AvonSouthAfrica ANEW Reversalift skin range

85% of dermatologists agree that a daily anti-aging regime including a cleanser, a day moisturizer with SPF, a night moisturiser and an eye treatment is one of the best ways to fight the signs of aging.  The Avon Anew Reversalist Skin renewal system with Activinol technology helps reactivate the skins natural repair process, create fresh new skin and reverse the look of wrinkles in three steps.

I am an Avon representative and truly believe that I need to be an advocate of a product that I sell so I decided to give the Anew Reversalift system a 14 day trial to see the results for myself. I purchased the following products for the trial:

• ANEW Reversalist Renewal Foaming Cleanser
• ANEW Reversalift Day Renewal Cream with SPF25
• ANEW Reversalift Night Renewal Cream
• ANEW Reversalift Illuminating Eye Cream

I am quite particular about my skin care regime but my ethics encourage me to make sure I am selling quality products and the Avon ANEW Reversalist system is definitely high quality.

My favourite product of the system has to be the ANEW Reversalift Illuminating Eye Cream which comes in two parts. The eye cream which is used to dramatically help diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and the sheer veil with potent skin brightening technology that illuminates the under eyes instantly. Eye creams have to be gentle enough that they don’t harm the delicate eye area but potent enough that they offer adequate moisture and impact. This product certainly did that and I would definitely purchase this product again.

The ANEW Reversalift day cream and night cream were both also lovely on the skin although I do believe I have found stronger night creams. I love the scent of the creams and I am particularly impressed by the high SPF in the day cream. Although I don’t use this instead of a SPF, rather in conjunction with an SPF designed for Sun Protection.

The ANEW foaming cleanser does take makeup off rather well, although I felt that it was a bit too harsh for my sensitive skin and after a few days, I quickly reverted to my regular cleanser. It may be that the chemicals in the cleanser are intended for a more mature skin than mine.

I am proud to be selling this wonderful skin system. Please feel free to pop me a mail should you be interested in trying a few samples to see if this works well for you too.

A makeup artists 7 minute makeup routine

I work in the corporate world and like so many others, I have limited time during my morning routine. My 7 minute makeup routine is all I need in the mornings to prepare for work. Being a qualified makeup artist has taught me a few tricks of the trade for a quick beauty regime.  I have spent time choosing the right products and the correct colour pallet before hand and of course, using the correct application tools which allows me to do my 7 minute routine with ease.

1. Skin Care – I cannot stress enough that the basis of any beauty regime is good skin care. More than half the battle is won if you are looking after your skin. That’s why I always (and I mean always) take my makeup off the night before. In the shower, I wash my face with my Kiehls Ultra Cleanser to remove any residue makeup and its gentle enough on the skin that it doesn’t dry it out. A quick spritz of toner and a good day cream with an spf. I also always add a Spf 50 on top of my cream. Prevention is better than cure. If your skin is looking a bit dull, I highly recommend using the Dermalogica Daily resurfacer that gives immediate results after cleansing and before toning.

2. BB Cream – An essential product for a quick beauty routine is having products that double up. A good BB cream (Beauty Balm) with built in SPF gives my skin a quick plump up and smooth surface and acts as a primer. If I am feeling like a bit of extra coverage, I add a layer of my Givenchy Fluid Foundation. I apply the bb cream with my fingers and then blend with a blending sponge.

3. Eyes – I sweep dark brown eyeliner on the tops of my lids, keeping my eyes closed. This is a quick way to add liner in one move  to both the top and bottom lines. I also use the eyeliner to gently fill in my brows. I recommend using a colour palette that enhances your eye colour. The Almay and Revlon Palettes work well. Alway try and use full size eyeshadow brushes. A good option is the Avon Eyeshadow brush that has a eye smudging tool attached. Use 3 – 4 colours max, a light overall colour, a semi dark colour over the bottom half of the lid and a darker colour in the crease of the eye. You can also opt for a highlighter on the brow bone. I finish off my eyes with Bio Nike Brown Mascara available at Dischem for work days as it doesn’t clump or smudge and lasts all day. It also separates my lashes and colours my lashes with little application.

4. Cheeks –   a cream blusher is easy to apply with the fingers and I add a smidge of blush powder over the cheeks, on the cheek bones. Again, using a full size angled blush brush makes a difference. Applying colour to the lips and cheeks is the easiest way to liven your look.

5. Lips – It has taken me many trials to get the perfect work lip colour right. I have finally found a colour that goes with every outfit I wear and is naturally nude. Take your time in finding the right colour for your complexion.

6. Setting – You can either set your makeup with a translucent powder or a setting mist. I opt to only use the setting powder on my t- panel and my chin so that I keep the dewy look from the bb cream on my cheeks. I also use a setting mist from Ulta which helps the makeup remain throughout the day and gives me added protective layer of moisture.
