But did you also know that there are 3 little things that you can do to get the best results?
1-Apply your moisturizer to freshly washed, damp skin. This will seal in the moisture that’s already there and help it spread more easily.
2-Gently massage the moisturizer into your skin for at least 15 seconds. This will help boost circulation and improve penetration.
3-Always close the lid tightly after use and store in a cool, dry place. Long-term exposure to air and sunlight can cause some products to break down, decreasing the potency of certain ingredients.
Tip: For a refreshing wake-up, try storing your moisturizer in the fridge.
You can use foundation or pressed powder to accentuate your best features
and minimize the others.
All you need are 3 different shades:
Base – a shade that matches your skin exactly.
Highlight – a shade lighter.
Contour – a shade darker. The Highlight shade brings features forward. The Contour shade makes them recede.
HOW TO DO THE FOLLOWING:
NARROW YOUR NOSE
Highlight down the center of your nose to the width that you want to appear, then place contour on either side of the nose. Blend well.
SOFTEN A HEAVY JAW LINE
Shade around square jawline to make that area recede and create a more oval shape. Blend borders with a base shade.
GET HIGH CHEEKBONES
Shade round cheeks to make them recede, then highlight top of cheekbones to make them more prominent and lifted like those of a model. Blend base to borders…beautiful!
Use lip pencils, gloss and concealer to transform lips.
Look at the following steps to see how to transfrom the look you want
1. TO MAKE COLOR LAST LONGER
Apply lip liner to entire lip area, use a lip brush to gently blend any hard lines around the edges and then apply a gloss or a lipstick.
2. TO TRANSFORM A LIPSTICK SHADE
Use a lip pencil as a base for lipstick to make it look browner, deeper or redder, depending on the shade of the pencil. For a shinier finish, use lipstick as a base for gloss.
3. TO MAKE LIPS LOOK FULLER
Apply a highlighter slightly above the natural contour of the Cupid's bow. Apply desired shade of lipcolor. Using a lip liner in a shade that matches lipcolor, follow the outer dimensions of the lips and trace around the lip line. Dab gloss on the center of lower lip.
4. TO MAKE LIPS LOOK THINNER
Blend foundation or concealer lightly over the edges of your lips. Dust translucent powder over the area. Using a nude lip liner, outline lips within the natural lip line. Fill lips with a pale shade of lipstick.
FACE: Dust bronze proin pro glow all over the face.

REVIEWS
LOVE IT!
"I got this the other day and I was so excited! There are so many combinations to choose from. Only problem I have with this kit is that I NEVER can decide which colors I want to wear! Don't really use the lip glosses as I have so many in a tube. Even if it were only the eye shadows, this would still be a great deal! It's also bigger than I expected for some reason."
Everything in a Cute Little Package
"I just love my Super Flip color kit! It has highlighter shades, neutral shades and colorful shades for a hundred different looks. The lip gloss shades are pretty, too. I use the black eyeshadow as my go-to shade alone or over another AVON shadow to create darker shades. I use the matte brown as a brow powder, and it looks great! I love the packaging, too--it's chic, girly and totally functional. Can't wait for future flip kits!"
Before you break out the holiday red polish you'll be wearing all season, try the new trend....Eggplant nail polish.
AVON's nailwear pro nail enamel in Midnight Plum
Test drive a suitable transitional shade: deep, shiny purple or Midnight Plum by Avon. This polish is perfect for the cold winter months. It is much more warm and inviting than black but still dark and brooding. The rich plum color shines through in the sunlight while the deep darkness become more prominent in the murky grey lighting of a winter day.
This polish has a nice shiny finish, so you really don't even need a top coat. This hue tends to darken when dry, so select a color that's a little brighter and more magenta in the bottle. And as always, keep your nails short and rounded to avoid looking too goth.
If you love purple (which I do) in the Fall and Winter and are tired of the harsh gothic look of black, this color is for you.
WHO'S WEARING IT: Well, take a cue from Rachel Roy at the Accessories Council ACE Awards in New York City.

This color is currently a part of AVON's permanent line but will also be available in a giftset with two other shades during the holiday season, so don't miss out!!!!

Anti-Frizz Treatment
DOES IT REALLY WORK?
Well...."paint my door red and call me Elizabeth Arden" (famous Dolly Parton quote from the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes"). IT REALLY DOES!!!
For those of you that know me, I have been wearing my hair curly for awhile now. So when AVON introduced this amazing anti-frizz treatment, I just had to try it for myself. It is wonderful. It keep my curls curly and noticed even when I wear it straight (occasionally), it keeps it nice and smooth.
Even after putting the anti-frizz treatment in, it stays frizz-free for days. I use the shampoo and conditioner everyday, and the anti-frizz treatment every 3-4 days. I even tested the conditoner on my toddler (who picked up the curly gene from his mama) and it keeps his little "fro" nice and tame. Now all you see is curls!!!
Check out the video to learn more about Lotus Shield.
SO HOW DOES IT WORK:
Like a lotus leaf repels water, the breakthrough lotus-inspired technology defies up to 97% humidity. Keeps hair smooth and well-behaved for 3 days. Bad weather is no longer the enemy.
The leave-in treatment forms a lightweight barrier that helps block out humidity to fight frizz without weighing hair down. Apply to damp hair. Dry & style as normal. For all hair types....curly or straight. Complete your routine for maximum results with Frizz Control Shampoo & Conditioner
