Eyeliner, where have you been all my life? I have enough eyeshadows and eyeshadow palettes to keep me going until 2036. But after an unremarkable experience with a plain brown MAC eyeliner, I gave up on it.

My mistake. While I usually use a kickass BECCA eyeliner, which smudges beautifully and lasts all day, I’m also rather partial to Avon’s Glittersticks Diamonds eyeliners. Their twinkle is subtle, not “Rock Of Ages,” and it’s beyond easy to apply. Just try not to think about how the name sounds like a Care Bear. Keep reading »

Next time the Avon lady comes a-calling, I’m not going to buy any nail polish from her. Avon sent the Frisky office some of their spring/summer products and I have to be honest, I was pretty disappointed with their Avon Nailwear Pro polish. (You’ve been seeing me wear it in the color Coral Reef all week in What Are We Wearing Today? photos.) Keep reading »

This lovely purple eyeshadow palette isn’t just easy on the eyes, it’s easy to put on your eyes too. Each color in the eye-shaped palette is sectioned off according to where it should be applied to your eyelid. There’s a dark purple for the lash-line, lavender for the lid, a shimmery white for just under the brow, and even a subtle pink shade to highlight the inner corners of your eyes. Just follow the format for a flattering–and foolproof–look. [$5, AVON]

How To Get Elizabeth Taylor’s Beauty Look

Annika HarrisMarch 23, 2011 //

Elizabeth Taylor is, of course, famous for her acting career, numerous marriages, charity work, and love of diamonds, but she was also known for her classic beauty look. She often highlighted her natural beauty with a dazzling red pout, but her violet eyes always took center stage with the help of bold brows and expertly lined eyes. Now, we might not be able to drape ourselves in sparkly diamonds, like Liz Taylor, but we can surely adopt her makeup tricks as we remember her life and career. Keep reading »

Win This! Avon Fall Fashion Prize Pack

Annika HarrisSeptember 10, 2010 //

Avon offers one-stop shopping for the woman on the go. The company offers cosmetics, skin care products, clothes, jewelry, and other accessories. For this fall, we’ve fallen in love with Avon’s Zip Up Bag — that deep plum color will add a punch to autumn neutrals. Animal jewelry is all the rage right now, and the $14.99 price of Avon’s Animal Magnetism Ring can’t be beat. The Cabochon Stretch Bracelet is another fun way to add color to your look this season. You can also bring attention to your sexy collarbone and neck with the Mixed Chain Long Necklace, which has a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Finishing off our list of Avon must-haves is the Belted Print Dress, which can also be worn as a tunic and matches the Zip Up Bag well. Find out how you can win the prize pack after the jump.

And The Prize Goes To … The Most Horrifying Frizzy Hair Experience

Lauren GoldJuly 9, 2010 //

We asked you last week to tell us your most horrifying frizzy hair experiences to win a bottle of Avon’s Advanced Techniques Frizz Control Lotus Shield. Your horror stories brought back memories of my own tangled, teased, and terrible curly hair disasters. That being said, my heart did go out to a few readers’ painful hair anecdotes.

Win This! Avon Advance Techniques Frizz Control Lotus Shield

Lauren GoldJuly 2, 2010 //

Calling all curly girlies! I have frizzy hair, and I’m proud of it. But that doesn’t stop me from doing everything in my power to get my curls under control. I’ve tried it all — from Japanese hair treatments to the most expensive salon products — and I have a very strict haircare routine. Curls are a tricky business, after all! Yet I’m always willing to try a new product, like Avon’s Advance Techniques Frizz Control Lotus Shield, which literally repels water from hair by forming a barrier that blocks humidity. It took a bit of trial and error for me to figure out the best way to use this product on my hair, though. Keep reading »
