Saturday Solutions

The sun and water can be brutal on your nails this summer!  To avoid this problem, try Avon's Strong Results Length and Strength complex.  I love this stuff!  As you paint it on it instantly soaks into your nails, making it easy to paint over with your favorite color.  It doesn't have a chemically scent to it-which is always a plus!  After using it for 5 days I started to see results. My nails were not only stronger, but they were bright white!   And for $6.50, you can't beat it!!  Click the picture or link to see reviews and place an order!

Friday Favorite

Today's Friday Favorite can also go under Tuesday's Trend (which I didn't get to post this week).  It's the maxi dress!  I love these dresses!  They are everywhere this summer.  They're the perfect summer getup- easy to pack, perfect for during the day over a bathing suit, or add some accessories and you have an evening outfit!  Not only are they comfortable, but they look good on everyone!  Avon has jumped on the maxi dress bandwagon and I couldn't be happier!  These three are currently in our catalog and are available up to size 18 (click on the picture to take you to the website).  All are under $35 and qualify for free shipping on my website!


Maxi High Low Hem Dress- $29.99




New!  Printed Maxi Dress- $29.99



mark It's a Long Story Dress- $34.00 (my personal favorite!)

Tuesday's Trend

This week trend is a healthy glow!  Now that it's summertime, heavy make up is out.  To get this look you want to start with a light foundation or tinted moisturizer.  Follow with a cream based blush, light eyeshadow, mascara and some lipgloss and you're good to go!  If you're in a rush, skip the eyeshadow.  Here are my favorite products to get the look (click on the picture to take you to my website to order):






mark Get A Tint Tinted Moisturizer Lotion SPF 15- $10.00

TRUE COLOR Eyeshadow Quad-$9.00




Wash-off Waterproof Mascara-$6.50




Glazewear Lipgloss-$2.99





Be Blushed Cheeck Color-$5.99

Saturday Solutions

It's sandals season, ladies, but who has the time or money to go out and get a pedicure these days?!  Avon has the solution- Foot Works!  Foot Works is a line of home pedicure products that are easy to use and affordable.  There is a product to solve every foot problem, from aching feet to cracked feet to smelly feet :-)  My personal favorites are the Paraffin Wax Moisture Mask, the Sugar Lime Mojito Cooling Cream, and the Thermal Exfoliating Scrub.  Not only do we have a variety of products, but we offer a variety of scents:  Original, Watermelon, Lavender, Sugar Lime Mojito, Marine Salt, and Berry Mint!  There's something for everyone!  When you're done pampering your feet, finish the look by using one of our amazing nail enamels!  Click on the links to see all the amazing products and place an order!  Trust me, your feet will thank you! 

Friday Favorites

Today's favorite is  Dew Kiss Lip Dew.  This lip balm is amazing!  I'm not a fan of lip balms that make my lips tingle or feel too waxy.  Dew Kiss goes on smooth and makes your lips feel incredibly soft!  It's colorless and flavorless, so it's perfect under your favorite lipstick.  It's also great for pre-teens that want to wear makeup, but aren't allowed just yet :-)  What's the best part??  It only cost $.99!!!  And currently it's on sale for $.79!  I keep one in my purse, my work bag, and my diaper bag!  One thing I will warn you about, however, is the scent.  I like the scent, but it's a little perfumey and I know some people who don't care for it.  Click on the picture to try it today!

Wacky Wednesday!

Mothers Moon Breastmilk Soap.  Yes, my friends, this is an actual product that you can order and use.  And yes, it is made from her breast milk.  Now, if you want to make soap from your own breast milk, go for it.  However, who is willing to buy soap made from someone else's milk?!  Here's the website's description:  contains my own all natural breast milk, olive oil, honey, and glycerin. This soap is mixed and molded on the full moon, then "rests" for two moons before being lovingly wrapped.  These bars are typically three ounces and are available in the following: unscented  * unscented w/oatmeal * lavender w/oatmeal   $3

I don't know, sounds pretty strange (and kinda icky) if you ask me!  But if you're interested in ordering, click on the picture to take you to her website.

Media Monday

Today's article comes to us from http://www.totalbeauty.com/.  It's the list of their top 12 best mascaras and Avon's Super Full is #3!  It got a 9 out of 10 in their rating scale.  Here's what the article had to say:

 Readers say, "This mascara went the distance and left no smudges, flakes, circles -- nada. And at the end of the day it came off easily with makeup remover." And those with oily skin say, "I have very oily skin and this mascara makes me look like I have twice as many lashes as I do and makes them extremely long, without smudging or pooling under my eyes halfway through the day!" Readers conclude "SuperFULL is the truth" and "the only mascara for me." One woman asks, "Sparse lashes? No problem! I have very pale, sparse lashes, but with this product (in black), my lashes look fuller and longer than ever!"

The mascara comes in black or brown and/or waterproof and costs $8.50.  Definitely worth a try!!

Blog Highlights

Seeing as I'm trying to use this blog to build my Avon business, I decided to organize it and have special features for each day of the week.  Here's what I have so far:

Media Monday- starting today I'm going to research and highlight a magazine/news article with reviews on  Avon products.  

Tuesday's Trend- every Tuesday I'm going to write about the hottest beauty trends and show you which products Avon has that will keep you current!

Wacky Wednesday- this one's just for fun!  Every Wednesday I'm going to feature a wacky and bizarre beauty product that someone has created.

Friday's Favorites- every Friday I'm going to pick one of my favorite Avon products and review it.

Saturday Solutions- on Saturdays I'm going to highlight one of the many products Avon offers that solves a specific beauty problem.

I'm still working on something for Sunday and Thursday.  I want to feature new products, but I can't come up with a title that goes well with one of those days.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!  Well, I hope you enjoy my entries and I hope they help you choose which Avon products work best for you.  I truly love selling Avon because I believe in their products and I hope to convince you to try them someday soon!

Saturday Solutions

I hate mascara that runs.  There has been many a hot summer day when I end up looking like a raccoon come 3 o'clock!  I've tried waterproof mascara, but I hate how clumpy it looks.  I also hate that I have to take a Brillo pad to my face to scrub it off!  Luckily, Avon has the solution- Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara!!  Simply genius.  It comes in two colors- black and brown.  It's streak free, smudge proof, and washes off with soap and water or Avon's eye makeup remover.   It's a definite must have for those of us who live in humid conditions.  Try it today!

Friday's Favorite

This evening the school I work for held its graduation.  The ceremony starts at 6pm, but they start lining up all 685 seniors and 200 faculty members outside around 4:30pm.  I live in Northern Virginia.  It was over 90 degrees this evening.  As I sit here writing this at 9pm my thermometer says it's 85 degrees.  Hot and humid and gross.  After an hour of being out in this lovely weather a few people made comments on how my makeup still looked great!  I couldn't believe it!!  Always a nice thing to hear when you feel so nasty and sweaty.

What was I wearing, you ask?  Avon's ExtraLasting Liquid Foundation!  This foundation comes in 17 different shades and has SPF 12.  It goes on smooth and blends well.  I'll admit that I was a little weary when I first bought it because I was afraid it would be too think for my liking.  That's not the case at all.  It feels light, but gives me great coverage!  It's on sale for the next two weeks for $9.99- a definite must try!!

Wacky Wednesday

Cosmetics have a fascinatingly strange history.  It spans approximately 6000 years- almost every society that ever existed had some form of beauty products. The first archaelogical evidence of makeup usage was found in Egypt from 4,000 BC.  Ancient Greeks and Romans also used makeup.  However, not knowing the dangers, these societies used mercury and lead in their cosmetics.

Throughout the years there have been some strange makeup products and trends.  I thought it would be fun to highlight some of these each Wednesday.

Today's wacky product was created to celebrate Play-Doh's 50th Anniversary in 2006.  It's Play-Doh Perfume by Demeter Frangrances!  According to their website, "Demeter has bottled that fresh, just-out-of-the-can, eau de PLAY-DOH aroma as part of a year-long celebration of the beloved modeling compound's 50th birthday. The 1-ounce, spray bottle fragrance is meant for highly-creative people, who seek a whimsical scent reminiscent of their childhood.

One of PLAY-DOH compound's most notable characteristics is its scent, said Leigh Anne Cappello, vice president of marketing for the PLAY-DOH brand. When you open a can of PLAY-DOH compound, you are instantly transported back to childhood. What better way to celebrate the 50th birthday than by bottling the scent for adults everywhere to enjoy as a reminder of their youth."

Ok, I understand nostalgia, but do you really want to go around smelling like Play-Doh?!?! 

Tuesday's Trend

Every Tuesday I'm going to highlight a seasonal trend.  This week's trend is coral.  Coral is a hot color this summer and Avon has everything you need!  Coral looks great paired with neutrals: whites, khaki, cream and gray.  If you want the color to pop and make a statement, wear it with black- classy and elegant.  Coral eye shadow looks amazing paired with blue eyes! 

Coral looks best in small doses- nail, lips, or piece of jewelry- but not all at the same time!  You'll just end up looking like a monotone clown. :-) Check out these accessories and makeup options.  Click on the picture to take you to their page on my website.  Happy Shopping!!



Constant Coral- very bright, best for medium or dark skin tones




New next week!!!  Peach Twist- simply beautiful!  Great for all skin tones, alone or on top of your favorite lipstick.




Tanglastic- one of my favorite nail colors!  Looks great on all skin tones- especially on toes after a great pedicure!!




Kicked Up Coral- on the bright side- looks beautiful on medium and dark skin tones!




Sandy Corals- makes blue eyes stand out!!

Saturday Solutions

This week's Saturday Solution is Avon's Advanced Techniques Lotus Shield Anti-Frizz Treatment.  Frizzy, unruly and unmanageable hair is caused by humidity exposure and absorption of water into your hair. Humidity exposure can swell your hair, leaving it feeling coarse and causing hair to revert back to its "natural" shape and texture. The key to controlling frizz is to control water absorption. Avon's new lotus-inspired technology adds a water resistant layer to the hair, preventing excess moisture from entering the hair shaft. This revolutionary technology keeps hair manageable and well-behaved for three days.
