 I love the AVC complete system- light!!! It has everything you need to acheive your ultimate beauty! This system includes three shades of foundation, so it is impossible not match your shade. I just love how the complete system comes with brushes and a cute bag to keep it all in! I truly could not ask for more from this system. I am so happy with it and when people give me compliments on my makeup I always tell them about Alexis Vogel Cosmetics and where to get them! She is truly the best!

I love the Alexis Vogel Complete System. I wish I would of bought it years ago. The colors, quality of makeup, tips and techniques, etc. have really enhanced my ability to apply makeup and learn what works best. I ended up buying more AVC products with other colors I really liked and I can tell you that I haven't used any other make up since. Nothing compares to AVC!

This kit is amazing. The products are the best I have ever tried and with the instructional video I am able to obtain the sexy polished look I could never acheive with other products I have used. My husband tells me I look 10 years younger!!!

I was so excited about AVC kit coming but never told a soul. When it arrived I practiced for a couple of days & then took the plunge. I am a mom of 2 very active boys 6 & 8 plus I work fulltime, I never took time for me ever. Well the results were overwhelming my friends thought I had done a professional makeover, ppl I hadnt seen for awhile asked if I had got an eyelift or something..LOL!!!! As for my hubby well lets just say this...On Friday he came home with tickets for him & I to go to Vegas for a week and if that wasnt enough, then I am home for 3 days and he is whisking me off to Jamaica for a week of romance for Valentines Day...After 10 yrs of marriage and no holidays WOW!!!! Not only do I feel refreshed and younger I also feel sexy and playful again. Thanks AVC!!!

It took me almost 5 months of watching the infomercials for AVC to finally order it. I gave myself every excuse in the book! Finally after watching the *cat eyes* portion for the millionth time (which I STILL haven't perfected) I had to try it.
Now I live in a tiny little nowhere town. The kind where unrecognized people are seriously seriously noticed. So of course I had to go everywhere!
I'm telling you, people did not know who I was, the change was so drastic. Men gawked at me, women gave me dirty looks, it was fantastic! LOL It was also the first time I ever remember it happening.
Take the chance and order it. You'll never use another makeup product again!

 This is the best makeup I have ever used. The foundation doesn't go on "cakey" like other products I've used. The eyebrow guides are truly an asset assuring perfect curvature each and every time. I also love that I can have sexy cat eyes every day!

Love the entire kit. The foundation provides great coverage. The video is invaluable. Without it the eyes would be impossible to do. thanks!!!!!

I finally got the AV Complete System yesterday after waiting for so long to place an order b/c of car repairs..UGH! I wanted to add that I post on other well-known makeup boards and I am a "makeup junkie" so my review/testimonial is MINE and not influenced by other people/companies/site. I have never tried AVC products before so this is my FIRST experience all together with Alexis Vogel Cosmetics.
Shipping:
I ordered the Complete System last Sunday and received it this Saturday without using RUSH shipping options..Awesome! Everything came neatly packaged and in order!
Instructional DVD video:
This was the 1st thing I started with..I was very anxious to see the DVD so IN the player it went!!! I thought the DVD was informative and the advice was given like you could've just had coffee with Alexis herself. It was not preachy, nor did it make me feel like I was being taught in a college class by a boring professor waiting for my final grade. I thought the tone of her voice was pleasant and she came off as very approachable as a person. The tips are indeed fun!
Products:
I admit that I have seen/read various negative opinions on other makeup review sites about Alexis Vogel cosmetics but felt like I needed to try them for myself and come to my own conclusions.
The products are indeed well-pigmented, soft, and blendable. I also agree that you have to use a light hand because of the pigmentation of these products or it WILL look overdone. The style of cosmetics she uses is what many makeup artists use for theater/stage/TV from what I have seen/read/researched. The foundation went on smoothly without being greasy and covered well..The eyeshadow/loose shadow was blendable, pigmented and soft as well as were the pencils..The included tools were also helpful and the powder puff is divine! Soft! The pressed powder was also light, airy, and non-chalky. The Shadow Shammy is indeed helpful for precise eyeshadow application and I plan on purchasing more. The included bag is sturdy/well-made with her embroidered Logo on the bag. Cute and Very functional!
All in all, I am glad I chose to take the chance on purchasing AV's system and coming to my own conclusions about it. I think the price is fair for everything that you receive and in relation to the quality/pigmentation of the cosmetics. I am VERY picky about quality when it comes to cosmetics so pigment/texture is important to me and I was not disappointed in this area with AV's cosmetics. The cosmetics are professional quality in my opinion; and as mentioned in the video. I think this system is definitely for those who want to look glamourous and get in touch with their inner "glamour girl." For the record, it is my intention to pursue a career in the beauty industry and have studied quite a bit..I would not hesitate to recommend her system as it IS user-friendly & approachable!
Thank you for reading my review!

I have always been good at make-up and very picky about the type of cosmetics I have used. I used Mary Kay, but not the skin care because it always made my face feel heavy. The Makeup line was OK, and was happy with that for a while. I have also used Lancome, Estee Lauder and some over the counter brands as well.
I really like the AVC line. I think that it is top quality and the foundation is my favorite. It covers great and doesn't make your face feel heavy either. In my opinion there is nothing worse then wearing make-up and feeling like you have on a mask!
I had just recieved my kit on Tuesday, and have already placed another order for some of the other colors I thought would look good on me.
Besides, if you don't like it, you can always return it within 30 days of getting it (minus the shipping to you). It is a lot easier to me to mail it back, than to go back to a deptment store and have the sales people try to get you to do something else. I am all for no hassle.
I am very happy with the AVC cosmetics. Go For It!

Ok Ladies, I have been doing my makeup in the entertainment industry for over 10 years, I bought this because I wanted a new type of look, and wanted the quality of professional makeup, but without all the heaviness! I recommend this product for ANYONE AND EVERYONE!! This is the best makeup I have ever used! The video is absolutely perfect, step by step and BAM a complete new you. Even if you are not sure how to put makeup on, this will make you look like a Celebrity! Worth every cent and then some!! I travel and this kit makes me so organized, it packs so easy, and you can take the DVD with you and pop it right into your laptop...Can't say enough!!

I went back to my home town to visit family and friends... and I felt like I was walking tall and proud! I put on my AVC make up... and by the way... I have it down to 25 minutes... and I had so many compliments on how great I looked. One thing that will never get old... is hearing compliments. The longer I use AVC make up and the better I get at it... the more conficence I notice I build. Its not like... oh look at me I think i am beautiful! It is more like... I can look nice and this make up makes me feel good.
Not only is it a great product, but the women who has the vision and the heart to share her talent has given me the tools to look as good as the stars do. LOVE YOU ALEXIS for all you have done and given to us! I figured being at this for a few weeks now it would lose its edge.... but the better I get at it... the more I am loving it and the better I feel!!! One thing I am excited about... I have not even moved on to hair yet!!! HAHAHAHAH I have been so tied up in my make up and what to order next.... I have not even started the hair! Its like finding a present you forgot you had to open!!

Now that I have tried this make-up, the tools and the application techniques, I will NEVER go back to my old system! Everyone tells me how great I look and I feel great knowing I look my best. I have been using AVC for several years now. I keep coming back to replace what I run out of, and even trying new shades now and then. I have not been disappointed in the quality or price. You certainly get your money's worth when compared to shopping for the inferior products at the drug stores which cost the same as these fabulous products.

I have used every high end make up brand and none are as easy as these great kits, and I am never complimented as often as when I use the kit. It makes it fool proof, and I always come back to it and wonder why I ever try anything else.
Date Added: 01/25/2005 by Julie W
Well, I received my AVC Light Kit today. Three days before I even expected it to arrive. I was so excited that I even used a butter knife to open the box in lou of the box cutter downstairs!
I watched the DVD all the way through one time, and then ventured up the stairs to play. I just wanted to see if this was as easy as it looked, or as hard as it sounded (the cat-eye especially).
I cleaned my face, placed the book in easy reach,and was ready to start. Here is what I thought of each and every product in order of its use:
1. The Foundation - I have used lots of different foundations over the years, but this one has to be the smoothest, full coverage, and light weight that I have used to date. It glided on, and very little was used. When they said that a little would go a long way...they didn't lie!
2. The Concealor - I was impressed with how well that it blended into the foundation, and covered well. No cakeyness (for lack of a better word).
3. The Powder - I am used to using a loose powder for my face but the technique and puff give a great finish to seal the foundation and the brush to remove excess worked great as well. There were no creases under the eyes at all.
4. The Blusher - When I first saw the color of the blush I laughed! I thought that there was no way in the world that I could ever wear that color. I was wanting to look glamourous, not trying out for Barnum & Bailey! Well, guess what? It actually looked good! I was very impressed at how smoothly and evenly it went on, and blended. Now I will have to say that if you just "striped" it on there it would look silly, but with the technique and the blending...not a problem!
5. The Brows - Needless to say, I always dread doing my own brows and usually go to my salon to get them done. I always did a horrible job. It was either to thin, or just not even. Alexis, you are a genius! The brow guides are easy to follow, and give great results. I have also never used brow pencil before. I found it very easy to use as well and was really impressed with myself. Using the brow gel was much better than I thought that it would be. I was impressed at how light, but holding it was. I was expecting something really sticky.
6. The Eyes: The chubby pencil and technique were easy to use and follow, but then came the dreaded "cat-eye". Never learning how to use cake or liquid eyeliner, I was nervous! Not only that but after reading here what problems others have had with it. I just knew that I was going to mess up royaly, but to the contrary, I lined it so close to perfect I nearly died! It was a bit darker than I would have liked, so I just took some damp q-tips and gently removed, and blended. It was great.
The eye shadow went on really smooth and blended great. The mascara went on well, and when taking off the make-up was almost impossible to get off. I had to use lots of eye makeup remover to get it off. They should call it wear and water proof!
The shammy makes it almost impossible to mess up on the application of the eyeshadow as well.
7. The Lips - I had to put on my lip liner first in order to get it to look good. I have very full lips and looked like Goldie Hawn after her collagen injection in First Wives Club! As with the Blush, I thought I would looke rediculous, but it wasn't bad at all. Not my favorite on me, but not bad.
All in All...I am very pleased with all the products and the techniques shown. If you think that you look ho-ish, you might want to go a little lighter with the coloring, foundation etc. I found it to be a great look, and fairly easy to replicate. I am sure that with even more practice, I will be (almost) as good as Alexis herself in no time. I have ordered even more of the cosmetics and am looking forward to using that as well.
So Good-Bye Mary-Kay...Hello Alexis!
