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 »

Annika HarrisDecember 10, 2010 //

Avon‘s holiday campaign “Shop Early, Shop Easy, Shop Avon” pretty much sums up why we’re big fans of the cosmetic, skin care, and fashion giant. Not only can you get everything you need for the holidays, like the 3-Piece Enchanted Holiday Nailwear Collection or a Wear Your Way Convertible Dress (above), but you can also shop from the comfort of your home while watching your favorite holiday movies.

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.

Lauren GoldJuly 9, 2010 //

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 »

Quotable: Is It A Faux Pas To Match Your Makeup To Your Outfit?

Annika HarrisJune 20, 2010 //

“If the shade is in the same family, but a slight variation it should be okay.”

– Jillian Dempsey, a celebrity makeup artist and Patrick Dempsey‘s wife, answered a question that’s been on my mind since Michelle Obama wore blue eyeshadow with a blue gown to the White House State Dinner. The first lady followed Jillian’s rule; her eyeshadow is close to teal, whereas, her gown is a royal blue. To read more of Jillian’s makeup tips from her Avon Twitterview check out #AvonJDBeauty.

Ashley Greene Isn’t The Only Big Thing Happening At Avon

Annika HarrisJune 8, 2010 //

Your Avon Mark catalog will no longer arrive with fresh-faced Lauren Conrad on the cover because “Twilight” star Ashley Greene is the new ambassador of the Mark brand. If you’re not familiar with Mark, then maybe Ashley will convince you to try the affordable cosmetics when her TV and prints ads launch this fall. But she’s not the only newbie arriving at Avon.

The company is also launching two new fragrances with fashion label Hervé Léger to be called Hervé Léger Femme and Hervé Léger Homme. A body-conscious Hervé Léger dress might not be in your budget, but now you and your boo can get that upscale smell without handing over major dollars.
