I was looking through the latest issue of Glamour magazine the other day and one of the hot new trends for the fall is a high waist bell-bottom jean. Boy, do I remember wearing those when I was a teen and the lower cut the better! Some of those jeans had a zipper that was barely two inches long and we wore them with crop tops! Now they are back but with a high waist on them. Still perfect for wearing with platform shoes, which we also wore back in the 70’s and 80’s. I know that I'm dating my age here but we had some style back then! I wasn't into disco, I was a metal-head and dressed the part. It was Glam-Rock time and everything had to be low cut, glittery and outrageous! My mom gave me her old ankle length llama fur coat with a beautiful silk lining and I just can't say the things that I did while wearing that coat. Added to that was a black Fedora with a silk red rose on the side and behold...I was "Queenie" hanging out back stage at Cobo Hall in Detroit every weekend.
Another comeback trend is Chrome nail polish. It dries to a mirror like finish and comes in bright chromed colors. Avon will be introducing their new nail color line of Metallic Effects Nail Enamel in 5 muted and beautiful shades for fall. I had a whole collection of Sally Hansen’s line back in the early 90’s. That line had at least 10 colors and I had them all. My best friend had to get them, too, so we went polish shopping together and had a race to see who could afford to get them all first. These were bright metallics, like jade green, fushia, bright red. Today's new metallic polishes are prettier than before because the colors are more muted and not so garish.
I'm a perfume addict as well and Avon has an anniversary perfume coming out soon, Far Away Gold. It smells wonderful! I was never a big fan of Far Away but this one is loaded with a vanilla base that knocked my socks off and I’m going to be handing out all kinds of samples. I think it’ll be a hit! There’s also a set called Lucky that will be released for the holidays in women’s perfume and men’s cologne. I haven’t had a chance to test that out yet but we’ll see it soon enough. I'm picky about perfume, I love vanilla based scents and berry notes but also like anything woody and amber laced. My perfume collection has dropped way down because once I put something on and it doesn't smell like it did before, I pass it off to friends. Makeup care packages go out three or four times a year with all my unused stuff.
Remember when all mascara had bristle brush until those silicon brushes came along and changed mascara history? My sister got me a preview sample of one of the first ones by Max Factor and while I loved the "newness" of the design, I missed the old brushes. Well, the bristle brush is back again. Companies like Rimmell of London, L'Oreal Paris and Maybelline New York have all started using bristle brushes once again. Avon has a new one, too, Big & Daring Volume Mascara, that is now utilizing the old bristle brush and not the silicon rubber bristle brushes. While those still have their place, there’s nothing like a tightly packed bristle brush to give you big lashes!
Avon will also be releasing a new skin care line as they re-vamp the Anew line again. Avon Clinical has introduced a new dark circle under eye treatment, Absolute Even Dark Circle Corrector. A new line of skin care will be coming out soon, it’s the Anew Vitale line and it treats multiple skin care concerns.
Want bigger hair? Try the new hair mousse by Mark, This Is Big Body Building Mousse. This is THE BEST product that I have found to lift my fine strands and it lasts from shampoo to shampoo! Now that I've gone to a short Lob hair style, it really lifts. It's pricey but worth it, I have 3 cans put away along with 4 Beach Spray that's new this year from Mark. I use Avon's volumizing shampo, conditioner and spray which are like the L'Oreal brand but cost much less. After I spray on the volumizing spray I add some of the Mark mousse and I have big hair with lots of body and swing to it.
And speaking of shampoo, Avon has re-vamped their line of hair products for damaged hair (which had a great leave in conditioner) with the new Advanced Techniques Reconstruction 7 line, which includes shampoo, conditioner, daily treatment spray and a weekly hair mask. The old line was great, I expect good things from this new one. If you have had any chemical treatments done to your hair, you’ll want to give this a try! I change my hair color all the time and have the leave in spray, I just haven't used it yet. Maybe today I'll try it out after I change color again.
Well, that’s the news for now! Stay tuned, as Autumn approaches, for all the scoop on the holiday trends that I like, hate or just want to mention, from Avon and beyond! Check out my Avon e-store for all the latest goodies at affordable prices!
