On Wednesday, Avon ANEW celebrated its milestone 20th birthday at downtown hotspot Thom Bar. We were zipped back to 1992 the year that ANEW was launched complete with 90’s memorabilia, as well as special appearances from supermodel and ANEW spokesperson, Paulina Porizkova and 90’s TV icon, Alfonso Ribeiro (aka Carlton Banks from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!).

Last year we got to try out some truly amazing products! From at-home lasers and oxygen bars to Coolsculpting lipo, we tried it all last year! Here are our favorites.
FACE
Best Gadget for Face
(tie) Clarisonic Mia 2 Sonic Cleansing and NuFace (see above)
I simply could not pick between these two! Both are absolutely vital. No makeup can substitute for a healthy and firm face. The Clarisonic gets your face so squeaky clean that all your potions penetrate better and the NuFace is like a literal facelift! If you are a natural girl who does nothing else, these two items are key.
Best Cleanser
(tie) Benefit Foaming Clean Facial Wash and Philosophy Purity
Benefit Foaming Clean Facial Wash leaves your skin baby soft yet clean without a residue. Phlosophy’s Purity is ideal for sensitive skin and those times when your skin just needs a break.
Best Face Mask
(tie) Montagne Jeunesse and Dr. Miracle’s
Cheap yet effective, Montagne Jeunesse has a mask for every skin type. I love the Dead Sea Mud Packs and the self heating Fudge Sauna. And the Dr. Miracle’s Self Cooling Face Mask is oh-so refreshing in the summer months leaving skin positively radiant.
Best Exfoliator
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pad
Anti-aging exfoliating coupled with a Self Tanner AND Vitamin D! Can’t do better than that.
Best Moisturizer for Day
Clarins Vital Day
Lightweight yet effective.
Best Moisturizer for Night
La Mer Creme de la Mer
The Creme de la creme of night creams.
Best Tinted Moisturizer
Hope In a Jar Tinted Moisturizer
I totally love this and am never without it. Makes your skin look flawless and natural. Perfect for everyday.
Best Serum
(3-way tie) Strivectin Tightening Serum, Clarins Vital Light Serum, and Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus
You simply cannot go wrong with any of these. I alternate between the three but am leaning towards the Strivectin. Use under your Conducivity Gel with your NuFace.
Best Five Minute Face Lift in a Tube
Clarins Beauty Flash Balm
Gives your face a snappy boost.
Best Five Minute Face Lift in a Gadget
NuFace Trinity
No woman should be without this product. Lifts lifts lifts! You can tell the days I NuFace from the days that I don’t.
Best Vitamin C Product
Jan Marini Esta C Serum
Loved this and my skin looked amazing after using it. Must get back to this one.
MAKEUP
Best Facial Primer
Benefit Porefessional
Pores literally disappear. I sometimes just use this with tinted moisturizer instead of foundation.
