I've always been a makeup addict ever since I sat watching my mom get ready to go out on date nights with my dad. Watching her use all those pots of blush, bottles of foundation, wet the brush to her Maybelline solid mascara and do her eyes, I loved it all. I couldn't wait until I was old enough to wear perfume and makeup. She always gave me her old stuff to play with when she got new so I seriously practiced with it all. She gave me some of her almost empty perfume bottles, too, which made me fall in love with Channel #5 at an early age.
My mom looked like a movie star when she got done and even at 82 years old today, she can still get pretty when she goes out with her gang of merry widows. So, of course, I took my love of all things cosmetic and fashion and became an Avon rep so I could get all my stuff at a reps prices. Then I actually started finding people who wanted to buy it, too! I, by no means, make a living at it. For the most part I pay most of my bills with my own money but once in a while I have enough orders to do that for me and I love when that happens!
Imagine my excitement when we were told rrecently that Avon has started working on re-vamping it's whole cosmetic line using a new technology called TrueColor which allows the color you see to be the color you get when you apply it. New formulas for lipstick, new colors, new shadow quads that are numbered for ease of application, new gloss, new lip pencils. I can't wait! There's just too much that I want! It will be coming out very soon.
Right now you can check out THE BEST mascara that Avon has ever made, Mega Effect mascara with it's new Panoramic wand. It's not even really a wand, as you can see it looks like a little paint brush with an adjustable handle which allows adjust the way you hold it so you can get right into the lashline and pull out from there. I tried it, I Love it!! It holds up for 24 hours, it's sweat proof, smear proof, and clump proof. I always have to try every new mascara when Avon come out with one and this one just blew me away!
When I first saw pictures of it a few months ago, I thought it looked stupid and would fail miserably. I can happily say that I was WAY wrong. It's hands down the best mascara that I have ever used from any company and it's causing a huge buzz in all the latest women's and fashion magazines.
Check out the Avon Pintrest page to see what magazines in the know are saying not only about the Mega Effects mascara but also about the new colors, look and formulas of the re-vamped makeup line as well!
Keep an eye out for Campaigns 19 and 20! It's 'intro to new Autumn collections time' with new lines of clothing, shoes and boots, fall makeup collections, brushed metal polish line, a new skin care line that takes are of daily environmental skin problems and even kids things for back to school.
It's coming up on my favorite time of year when Avon breaks out the Fall colors. And then we have Halloween and Christmas, too! I'm in makeup heaven!! I hope you will be, too!
