Since the COVID-19 lockdown season happened, I have been featuring more Filipino-made stuff and have been supporting more local businesses than ever. It took me a while to realize this, but, I have been supporting my friends -- even strangers I do not even personally know, yet there is my beloved Mama by my side who has been working her ass-ets off double time just to support the family's needs. And aAaHhhhh! That hit me so much! A s i n!!!!! Aside from her full-time weekday job, My Mama has already ventured to do sidelines. Not from a rich family, but you know, we can balance our expenses. We know how to. We have been trained by our elders about that. However... The fam started to experience some financial crisis since the Innova was bought and a few bad timing circumstances and etcetera occurred. But the fam is trying to make it through! We will and we must! Of course, we would make this through, too 💖 Due to some unintended happenings, Mama decided to register as a legit reseller of Avon. So every month, she purchases the shop's brochure and lets her officemates choose if they have something they like or something they wanna buy as she would order those to the store for them. Every weekend then, Mama goes to Avon to pick up the orders. Then after picking up the products for her clients, she would pack them up. Mama's Saturday routine usually goes like that... Of course, it hurts to see my Mama doing double jobs and I must help her and Pa with their expenses. However, I already gave them everything I could and nothing is left of me already. Victim of bad timing -- temporary suspension of TNVS acceptance for years + when the chance was already given, this pandemic happened -- I would just hold on to the thought that all will be okay soon. Gotta hang in here and pull myself together as problems shall fade, too. Duh? I have a Wonder Wo-mom! 💖 But you know, I am proud to say that I am an Avon Girl since I was little. My grandmother loves to order at Avon (and Natasha) eh. Flipping the magazine-like brochure of such stores is so much fun to me! Seeing my clothes, shoes, and bags come out from a zine? Super love the feeling! Plus! Not only because their stuff look good, the quality of Avon products is also nice! It is not that expensive as well. Yes kids, before online shopping, we have this kind of shopping first! So back to the real topic! Sorry, I have too much stories. Heehee. Since I already purchased a few clothes I have been wanting and the first batch of makeup I will be needing once I study learning this face art drawing, I then bought some things for hygiene, makeup, and skincare at Avon via Ma -- the stuff that I did not see at Beauty Mnl, but found at Mama's brochure. I bought a deo, eye cream, lip balm, lip liner, and eyeliner. While the brush and case here are freebies given by the shop. Yay! And yes, yes, yes -- I ordered two fragrant, antiperspirant Imari deodorant. I had the Velvet and the Corset because Buy 1 Take 1. Haha! The Imari brand features amazing perfume scents, so rest assured that the smell of these roll-ons must be sooo good as well! I also had the Anew Reversalist eye cream which contains five-star feedbacks online. Hopefully, this would really help me revitalize my eye area and renew my skin into a younger look! I also purchased the proven and tested Avon's Simply Pretty Moisturizing Smoothies lip balm and Simply Pretty's lip defining pencil in a shade of nude which I super love because it truly defined my lips! And to complete my makeup set, I also bought Avon True Color's Ultra Luxury eyeliner in U40 dark brown. I really chose a lighter color from black to make every look effortless. I am opting for a no-makeup makeup look and more of a casual makeup, so this would be perfect. Indeed, these valuable purchases from Avon deserve an A! And guess the best thing with these stuff? They are all below 500! I swear, I am saying the truth, girl! Reasonable price and trustworthy products? Sulit and amazing, innit! 💖
