TO ALL BATTERED, ASIAN-AMERICAN MUMS:

AT 38, I DECIDED ON ROC SENSITIVE SKIN RETINOL FACE CREAM AND EYE CREAM. ALSO, I THINK NEUTROGENA'S HEALTHY SKIN, SHEER, TINTED MOISTURIZER IN MEDIUM OLIVE SHADE, WITH SPF 20 AND RETINOL WORKS BETTER.

THIS SUMMER, I ALSO TRIED THE ACNE FREE SEVERE LINE, AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR SUMMERTIME. FOR PREVENTING MILD ACNE, I THINK IT'S EFFECTIVE.

IT KEPT MY SKIN PRETTY CLEAR, BUT I HAD TO EXFOLIATE THREE TIMES A DAY WITH EQUATE BRAND OF GRAPEFRUIT BODY SCRUB (2% SALICYLIC ACID). 

FOR UNDEREYE CONCEALER, AVON HAD A SALE ON ANEW SPF 15 CONCEALERS. I SWITCHED TO THAT. IT WAS ABOUT $5/CONCEALER. 

THE PROBLEM WITH THE NEUTROGENA SKIN-CLEARING FOUNDATION WAS THE CAKINESS, AND HOW UNNATURAL IT LOOKED. THE COVERAGE IS JUST TOO MUCH. THE NEUTROGENA HONEY BEIGE MINERAL MAKEUP IS TOO ORANGE.

***PLEASE TRY TO SWITCH EVERY AVON FOUNDATION, CONCEALER, LIPSTICK, EYESHADOW TO SPF 75, UNSCENTED, NON-COMEDOGENIC, AND 75% ORGANIC MINERALS. THE COLORS NEED TO BE 95% NON-METALLIC, AT AVON, AND IN WARM, NATURAL, SKINTONE SHADES.***

***AVON DOESN'T CARRY AVEDA HAIR PRODUCTS. PLEASE TRY TO EXPAND THEIR OFFERINGS TO 75% ORGANIC, WITH ECO-FRIENDLY, ORGANIC BAMBOO MAKEUP BRUSHES. THE PACKAGING NEEDS TO BECOME REUSABLE, WITH INSERTS, AND 95% RECYCLED CONTAINERS.***

***PLEASE PERSUADE AVON TO DONATE THEIR IDEAL FLAWLESS LIQUID FOUNDATIONS IN THE CARAMEL AND HONEY SHADES TO THE ASIAN PACIFIC DEVELOPMENT CENTER. THE BATTERED ASIAN-AMERICAN MUMS ARE PROBABLY LOOKING TOO ORANGE OR WHITE IN THE DRUGSTORE BRANDS.***
