When I first opened my little pot of Loose Lips NY Indelible creme shadow I was worried that though I loved the plum color it was too heavy for a shadow. I was happy to see how buildable the color was though I could keep it really light or add a little more for a dramatic look.

The most amazing thing about Indelible Creme Shadow is how long it lasts. I applied it first thing in the morning and at 11pm the color was still as vibrant as when I applied it and it has little tiny sparkles that make your eyes look great without overwhelming it truly lives up to its indelible name!

I was at Target the other day, and looking for an everyday lipstick.  One that won’t fade, and will last for hours.  I looked through all the major brands, Cover Girl, Max Factor, Maybelline.  I finally settled on Revlon’s ColorStay lipstick, and I absolutely LOVE it.  I loved it so much, in fact, I went back and bought another one - in a different shade.  My favorite shade is Rich Raisin (see below).

This lipstick goes on smooth - then quickly dries and sets.  It stays on, almost all day.  Through eating and drinking, it remains beautiful, and I’m so happy to have found such a great (inexpensive) lipstick!

Lipstick so soft and smooth you won’t believe it’s long-lasting. Exclusive formula with SoftFlex® for hours and hours of luscious, feel good color in one smooth step. Stays gorgeous, stays creamy, stays on. In 30 full-coverage and 6 sheer shades.

I recently had the pleasure of trying some amazing products from Ouidad, the first products from the brand that I’ve tried.  I’ve been dying to try them, and I was so excited to get my hands on two of their great products!  I loved them both equally, and I’m so glad to have them in my stash! 

First I tried Ouidad Climate Control Gel.  Winner of Allure’s “Best Defrizzer, Editor’s Choice Award” 1999, this is a revolutionary design in styling gels. Climate Control protects curls from humidity by absorbing moisture from air to hydrate each strand of hair and help prevent frizz. Great for using in place of Tress F/X by all hair types in humid conditions, summer or winter. Winner of “Best Defrizzer” by Allure Magazine.

Climate Control Gel contains special European wheat resin, vitamins, and plant extracts are activated by heat and humidity to tame, smooth, and control curly, unruly hair leaving it soft, manageable and full of shine. Excellent at protecting hair from blow-dryer heat when a straight style is required. Apply to palm of hand and work evenly through moist hair. Do not rinse out. Set or style hair as usual. Protects hair from blow-dryer heat.

Tips: When applying, begin by raking fingers through underneath layers of hair first. Then, beginning at the crown, rake downward towards the ends, and lastly rake from the temple and forehead to the crown. This will ensure complete coverage and help prevent the under layers of hair from stacking out when dry.

Second (and my favorite of the two) I tried Ouidad Botanical Boost Leave-in Conditioner!  Winner of Allure’s “Best Conditioner, Editor’s Choice Award” 2001,  this is a lightweight, leave-in conditioner that seals in moisture and provides strands with nourishing vitamins and aloe vera; one of the oldest healing agents. Used anytime on wet or dry hair to revive and refresh curls and calm frizzies. Botanical Boost is Ouidad’s most versatile conditioner.

Ouidad Botanical Boost is a spray-in, leave-in conditioner that gives an instant boost to your hair’s health. Botanical Boost instantly detangles and refreshes hair. Amino acids, vitamins, and botanical extracts stimulate and moisturize even dry and brittle hair, restoring shine and luster. Contains no oils or waxes to weigh hair down. Won’t overcondition oily hair. Broad-spectrum sunscreens defend and protect hair from sun. Botanical Boost increases hair flexibility and elasticity to help prevent breakage. To give hair a botanical boost anytime, spray evenly and sparingly over entire head. Concentrate a little extra on ends. Comb through, leave in, and style as usual.

Tips: Spray in after shampooing for extra detangling and moisture before applying Tress F/X. Use mid-day as a hair pick-me-up to calm frizzies and regain styling control.

Perfect at the beach or before workouts or swimming to nourish and protect hair.

AVON ADVANCE TECHNIQUES

Iodice Spring 2009-THE LOOK

Avon Advance Techniques lead stylists Allen Ruiz and Anthony Barrow together with Brazilian designer, Iodice created the hair look for the Spring 2009 show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Inspiration for the Look: The look mirrors the Iodice collection, which was inspired by the mysterious lost city of Atlantis. The hair was created to evoke the image of a beautiful aquatic woman emerging from the water.

How to get the look:

Step 1: Use a tail comb to create a clean, triangular section of hair at the crown of the head. Use a clip to keep this section separate from the rest of the hair.

Step 2: Apply a generous amount of Avon Advance Techniques Extra Hold Hairspray to the sides.

Step 3: Layer Avon Advance Techniques Shaping Gel over the hair spray previously applied to the sides and use a fine-tooth comb to comb through

Step 4: Next, use a wide tooth comb to create lines and movement in the sides of the hair leaving the appearance they were just run through and swept back naturally with your fingers

Step 5: Use a blow dryer and diffuser attachment to “set” the sides of the hair with the hair spray/gel combination previously applied

Step 6: Release triangle section of hair at the crown. Using your wide-tooth comb, brush this section of hair back, away from the face and “set” with Avon Advance Techniques Extra Hold Hairspray

Step 7: Finally, pull remaining hair back into a loose pony tail and secure with an elastic band.
