Pretty in Purples and Pink

New fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Quad Temptress from Avon. Very gorgeous purples and pink. — New from Avon

Hey there! I couldn’t wait to show you my latest Avon haul! I am in love with this new Temptress Eyeshadow Quad from the Avon fmg Glimmer Eyeshadow Curated Color Collection. The colors are soooo gorgeous! My pictures do not even do this Quad justice. I’m so excited to try it.

I’m also excited to show you one of Avon’s new VDL Expert Color Primers for Eyes. There are 3 versions: Original, Serenity, and Shimmer.

BENEFITS
• Preps lids for smoother eyeshadow and eye liner application
• Enhances shadow shades for a more vibrant, brighter result
• Infused with skin-caring Tahitian black pearl powder

A SHADE FOR EVERY LOOK
• Shimmer – Great alone or to give your shadow extra oomph.
• Serenity – Great for matte shadows or to brighten dull eyes.
• Original – Great for your everyday basic makeup routine.

I chose Shimmer. I love a shimmery look (yes, even at my age! We’re as young as we feel, right?) I have given this a quick try and it really does make the shimmer eyeshadows go on easier and brighter. I’ll be doing a demo photoshoot soon giving these an “official” try. I just couldn’t wait to try the primer though. AND — I also paired this with another new Glimmer Satin Lipstick in Wildrose, for a completely purpley, pink, plum look. I’m really looking forward to putting this all together. I think these colors are going to be perfect for my Summer into Fall makeup looks. I can see this palette being worn lightly or dramatically. The lipstick can also go from light to drama with the addition of lipliner and/or a darker under color lipstick. I love layering makeup to achieve different looks with every shade.

Okay, gang, I am off for now. I hope you all enjoy a FABULOUS 4th of July holiday weekend. I’ll be back next week to give these beauties and try, and see what kind of look I can come up with to show you.

Till then, stay fabulous and follow your joy – always!

New Makeup from Avon

Make a Statement without Saying a Word

What kind of statement do you like to make when you present yourself to the world? We are all many personalities (and sometimes many nationalities) rolled into one unique individual, and I think that is so wonderful.

I enjoy a dramatic look, especially with my eye makeup. I always have. I suppose it’s because I have very dark eyes. But I do love my eyeliner.

It’s been a little while since I put on a full face of makeup, and it felt really good! I’ve not been anywhere in a while to present any type of statement about me, but with the arrival of my new Shubra Statement Necklace from Jarlia by Jolina in London (an anniversary present), it gave me a good excuse to get dressed up for a photo shoot.

Shubra Statement Necklace from Jarlia by Jolina

Jolina designs gorgeous African Egyptian jewelries and when I saw this necklace I immediately fell in love. I had been looking for something special to celebrate recently learning of my African ancestry, and this was definitely it for me. It is so gorgeous (dramatic, as I love), and does make a beautiful statement about me.

I had a lot of fun getting all my Avon makeup out again and getting dolled up. I use Avon exclusively for all my skincare and makeup, and I really love it. I am a youthful 55, and I greatly appreciate that Avon helps keep my skin looking great every day, no matter if I am wearing full makeup or going au naturale.

Here is a list of Avon products used for this shoot:

Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser – You have to begin with the very best, and this is the best facial cleanser I’ve ever used. It is rich and moisturizing.

The Therapy Oil Blending Cream – I love this moisturizer. It is made from a 200 year old recipe and includes natural ingredients such as Sandalwood and Avocado. You’ve gotta try it.

Avon True Color Flawless Cream-to-Powder Foundation – I love using this with the little applicator sponge that comes with it. It is not heavy and is long wearing.

Avon True Color Flawless Mattifying Pressed Powder in Translucent

Magix Dust Finishing Powder – I LOVE this stuff! It’s brand new. You use a large powder brush and sweep this all over your face for a natural glow. It’s made with mineral powder like pearls and rubies. I received a compliment the other day that my skin looked glowing. I had used this!

Oh What Fun Mega Makeup Palette – Can you believe this is still available? This is the really cool makeup palette from Christmas time. I used a pretty pink blush from this collection as well as a shimmery light pink and gray eyeshadow. This is on final sale for $25.00. It’s full of all kinds of eyeshadow colors, blushes, lip balms, and a couple of highlighters. It also has makeup brushes. You really should snag one while it’s still there. This is amazing.

Avon True Color Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Quad – In Steel Blues. I used the dark Navy eyeshadow as a liner under my lashes. These Quads are on sale for $5.59 each palette.

Mono Pop Eyeshadow Palette – Corals, for a brush of glitteriness on my lids. These palettes will be available soon. Be sure to get on the Wait List.

Ultra Luxe Liner – in Black. Right now you can get the liner plus a sharpener duo for $5.59.

Love At First Lash Mascara – Black. This is my most favorite mascara ever. It goes on so good and is very dramatic. My lashes really show. It washes off easily too. On sale!

Avon True Color Glimmersticks Lip Liner – Pomegranate. This is on Final Sale for $3.99 each.

Avon True Color Nourishing Lipstick – Dragonfruit Blush. These are also on Final Sale – $5.99 each.

And there you have it!

I hope you enjoy making your own personal statement about you – who you are, and how you like the world to see you. And I hope that Avon can help you make your own personal statement with all the gorgeous makeup offerings that they have available. There are a lot of new makeup items coming on the scene as well that I’ll be trying out and sharing with you, so I hope you’ll follow here and stay tuned. I appreciate your friendship and you being on this journey with me.

Till next time, stay fabulous, and always follow your joy.

Steel Blues and Holiday Dream in Color Eyeshadow Palette Sneak Preview

**Avon True Color Eyeshadow Quad Steel Blues**

Hello everyone!

Let’s talk eyeshadows today!

I love trying different colors, although my default setting is usually plums (like my lipstick choices), but I do enjoy a pop of blue, so I decided to get the Avon True Color Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Quad in Steel Blues and give it a try.

I really like this palette. The tones go really well with my dark brown eyes. Number 1 is a nice Cream color, very neutral, so a great coverage right under the brow area. Number 2 is a really pretty silvery blue’ish gray. It’s a shimmery look. Number 3 is a medium gray, and Number 4 is a dark navy blue color.

Here are Avon’s How-To Instructions for application, by number:

TO USE
• Lightest shade (1) goes on the brow bone
• Accent shade (2) goes in the inner corner
• Medium shade (3) goes in the outer corner
• Darkest shade (4) goes on the lash lines

Follow this Link to find the Steel Blue Eyeshadow Quad (#528-781) plus all the other Avon Eyeshadow Quad options. Hover over the little Eyeshadow Icons and it will show you each palette on the larger Quad pic to your left. It’s really cool. (P.S. They’re on special right now for $5.29!)

And here I am wearing my Steel Blues Eyeshadow. I used the Number 4 dark navy color as an eyeliner. One side of the applicator has a pointy tip, so it’s very easy to line with. I do also wear eyeliners, but this color has a great stand-out pop of color on its own, as you can see. I used the Number 1 cream color right under my brow, and actually all the way down to my lid, then the Number 2 silvery shimmer color in my mid-eye area and the Number 4 navy to line and also bring out the edges of my eye lid area and then blended upward with the silvery color. I didn’t use the Number 3 gray color with this look, but I’ll most likely use it when I go for a more plum-type palette. Since I was wearing black and white, I wanted to stick with the navy and silvery tones.

It’s fun to mix and match between the Avon Eyeshadow palettes. Sometimes I stay within one color palette, and sometimes I mix in between several. It just depends on the colors I’m wearing and my mood. How about you?

And now for that sneak peek I promised you!

It’s getting so exciting – as if things have not been exciting enough in Avon Land, but I’m already receiving glimpses of holiday goodness that is soon coming our way. Hooray!!

Coming up in Campaign 23, the theme is “Live Your Best Life, Every day’s a holiday!” It is filled with holiday themed limited edition items that are so fun and fabulous. I’ll go into more detail about it all soon, but I thought I’d share the Limited Edition Dream in Color Eye Palette with you on today’s eyeshadow themed post.

**Dream in Color Eye Palette Coming Soon**

Look at all of those gorgeous colors! So bright and so shimmery! That’s a definite holiday makeup must-have. It’s described as a vision of beautiful possibilities with 16 versatile shades. Looks like it will list at $15.00. Along with that there is the Limited Edition I Am Flawless Brush Set. This will have four pro brushes to get holiday-ready on the go, it says. It will include the purple pouch with a zipper closure. This set will list at $20.00. These would make fabulous gifts as well. Look how pretty those brushes are.

And there’s a lot more! I know, I know, you just have to stay tuned! Wait till you see the cute little Own the Dance Floor (disco ball) Lip Balm.

Okay, I’ve teased you enough! Haha! I will close for now, but I do promise to return with more Avon fabulousness, and I leave you with always stay fabulous yourself, and always follow your joy, well wishes.
