Weekend Update

Okay, so I use that term liberally. Its almost the weekend. And maybe The Rapture is happening tomorrow, so this might be the last update ever. Is it unChristianly to joke about such things? I really don't know.

Deserving of first place:
Have you guys been to http://www.xojane.com/ yet? No? What is wrong with you? GO!!!! Its the best. SRSLY. Emily McCombs is there and everything. She's, like, my hero. There's tons of other awesome ladies there too. DEFINITELY check it out.

2nd:
Our tomatoes are turning red! I'm so proud. I thought I was a plant murder, but it turns out I'm not. I can't wait to not have to pay $2.84/ lb + for them. I wish they were bigger though. I need to try my hand at Roma's or something.

3rd:
I forget. Oh, that Sapphire Emulsion I was raving about. I'm still pretty impressed. When I woke up I had some itty bitty pimples, but they went away and my skin is looking pretty lovely today. Can't wait to see further results.

Oh and lastly:
I have this A.MA.ZING. Cinderella blue drapey top pleated bottom dress. If it was hemmed it would be the most gorgeous Grecian Goddess dress. How do I do this? Everywhere online says you have to take it from the top. That seems waaaaay too extensive. Should I just risk it? Oh why am I asking, I probably will just chop off the bottom and leave it at that.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend

2 Things // Avon related

First:

I got my order in today so naturally I had to try stuff out. Remember when I was telling you last week about the deal on Anew products? Well, I wound up ordering them and tried out the "Rejuvenate Night Sapphire Emulsion" this evening.

Opening the box was magical. This stuff is soooo pretty! All blue and sparkly. These pictures do not even do it justice.

This stuff is marketed to those who are in their 30's. Since I am on the fast track there I figured I would give it a shot. The box claims that you can "get skin that looks up to 5 years younger in just 14 days!" It is made with "Avon's exclusive Spapphire Polypeptide technology with Pore Strength Boosters and is designed to help visibly shrink pores."

Upon first application, I am extremely impressed.

Apparently after Day 1 I can expect pores to look smaller and more refined. Day 2 Unveils your most rejuvenated skin. Day 3 Gives your skin a seamless, airbrushed look. After Day 5 I should see dramatic smoothing, softening, and refining of skin texture. Day 7 See up to a 25% reduction in the appearance of fine wrinkles. After Day 10 my pore appearance will virtually be erased! And after Day 14 my skin will look up to 5 Years Younger!

Don't worry guys, I will totally keep you informed if these claims are true or false. Like I said, I was very impressed with the results of Day 1. I'll know for sure in the morning if my pores are smaller and more refined.

Thing 2:

I was perusing the new catalogs and I spotted this gem:

Its a convertible mini trench coat! I'm in LOVE. Its $40 and not going on sale soon, but

its so unbelievably fantastic, I just might have to spring for it for a birthday present or something. IDK. We'll see. I kind of have a deal with myself that I'm not allowed to get anything until I lose like 20 lbs. I'm getting really fat and it's grossing me out. So we'll see what wins out. But yes, it's the coolest. I have to have it. Meep!

Oh hey. If you want to order some Avon, feel free to visit my site.

If you go on the left side and click on "Shop My eBrochure" it pulls up all the catalogs we have out currently. I've found its a much easier way to browse the site. 

So yeah, there's that. 

Avon review: Ultra Color Rich Moisture Seduction in Tangerine

Ultra moisturizing maybe orange enough lipstick:

Tangerine Dreams

I want to try and start reviewing products that I order. I'm super not good at this sort of thing, so bear with me, I'm a work in progress.

I've been on the hunt for orange lipstick. I was coveting Revlon's Siren but it seemed silly for me to buy some when I should really see if Avon carried any. I spied the Tangerine shade in the catalog and ordered it.

I'm happy with the color. Its not as orange as I wanted, but the shade is lovely none the less. I'm really impressed with how moisturizing the lipstick is. I don't really have dry lips except in the winter but this stuff definitely felt like a lip vacation.

Its on sale right now for $4.99! and comes in 10 gorgeous shades. If you'd like to order this lipstick click here.
