Congrats to our winners: Marcy L, Rebecca and Jessica A.

As we’re obviously in the middle of the hottest, ickiest summer days, I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce you to Avon’s latest launch: the Extra Lasting Collection.

Comprised of Lipstick, Lipgloss, Eyeshadow, Mascara, Liquid Foundation, Eyeliner, Cream-to-Power Foundation, and Pressed Powder Foundation, the entire ling is long-lasting, ensuring your makeup stays put and looks good all day long.

The Technology: Every product in the Extra Lasting collection is formulated with the Comfort Wear Complex to help maintain the quality of wear. The multi-tasking formulas go above and beyond lasting color and coverage to offer additional benefits—Extra Lasting means makeup that doesn’t compromise.

The Extra Lasting collection includes:

Extra Lasting Lipstick ($9): Delivering long-lasting color for up to eight hours, this SPF 15 lipstick provides conditioning moisture for 12 hours, striking the ultimate balance between comfort and staying power.

Extra Lasting Lipgloss ($9): This shiny, moisturizing gloss wears comfortably for eight hours. It makes lips look glossy and luminous.

Extra Lasting Mascara ($9): Offering up to seven times the volume increase, this 18-hour mascara makes lashes look volumized. The ultra-comfortable lightweight formula is fade-, transfer-, smudge-, rub- and water-proof, formulated with patent-pending technology.

Extra Lasting Eyeshadow ($9): Experience nine-hour wear with this breakthrough shimmering, silky shadow.

Extra Lasting Eyeliner ($9): This lasting liner boasts a super-fine, firm yet flexible precise tip for maximum application control. The fade-proof, transfer-proof, smudge-proof formula delivers a high dose of pigment for optimal coverage and intense color.

Extra Lasting Liquid Foundation ($12): Get flawless, natural coverage for 18 hours with this longwearing liquid foundation. Pigments are coated with a protective shield to help protect them from water, sweat, and humidity that can break down color. Freshwear Complex helps maintain the quality of just-applied foundation as the formula’s stretchable, breathable network leaves skin feeling comfortable.

Extra Lasting Cream to Powder Foundation ($11): This SPF 15 foundation wears flawlessly and maintains a fresh appearance for 18 hours. Comfortable and lightweight, the lasting formula looks natural—never cakey, masky or heavy.

Extra Lasting Pressed Powder Foundation ($11): This makeup offers lightweight comfort, and it stays fresh and natural-looking for 18 hours. Mattifying powder controls oil so skin stays shine free. The foundation maintains finish all day.

Congrats to our winner Lisa!

A great new styling tool from Conair, the Spin Air Brush. What I like about it is the size its on the bigger side so its great for medium to long hair and gets the job done quick. Just towel dry your hair a bit and then you are ready to go just run the Conair Spin Air Brush through your hair in sections. I love how shiny my hair looks after and it doesn’t leave my hair frizzy like a normal hair dryer.

The Infiniti Pro by Conair™ Spin Air Brush

Want to put a new spin on your hair styling routine? Smooth, frizz-free and voluminous hair is now easy to achieve with the new Infiniti Pro by Conair™ Spin Air Brush! Shaped like a typical round hair brush you’d use to do a blow-out, the Spin Air brush combines two tools in one by blowing air through the rotating brush to volumize and add shine as you dry.

The tangle-free anti-static bristles allow you to customize your volume fast with or without the spin function. The powerful ceramic heat distributes heat evenly for less damage, and an anti-frizz ionic generator releases up to 100x more ions than ions created from natural sources. With up to 100x more ions, your hair will have maximum conditioning and shine! Choose from 2 heat settings plus cool setting and the multi-directional rotation (right/left) makes it easy for both right and left-handed users.

The Infiniti Pro by Conair Spin Air Brush is available nationwide at mass market and drug store retailers, as well as at www.conairspinair.com for an average retail price of $59.99.

ooShirts

In the fall of 2006, a group of friends found themselves in need of custom-printed t-shirts. As the recent founders of their high school’s tennis club, they planned to hold a tennis tournament in the spring to celebrate a full year of lightning-fast serves and quick lunges. Preparations for the tournament were underway when Raymond Lei, the tennis club’s president, had an idea: why not design t-shirts to express school spirit while promoting the tournament? His requirements seemed simple: the t-shirts should be affordable, yet attractive. Unfortunately, Raymond soon discovered that his requirements weren’t so simple. When Raymond sat down to design and order the club’s t-shirts, he was hugely disappointed. Every store that printed custom t-shirts demanded prices that exceeded the club’s budget.

But Raymond thought that if no one wanted to offer a fair price, perhaps he could offer one. As the day of the tournament approached, he founded his own custom t-shirt printing company and named it ooShirts. Raymond realized that his modest idea had grown into a business that could offer a genuinely valuable service to groups and individuals beyond his local community.

On March 17th, 2007, ooShirts launched its first website. We kept it simple and designed the site around a quote generator and a preview feature. No ads, no frills—just clean, efficient custom t-shirt printing.

CONTEST:

• There will be 2 winners.
• Each winner will win receive a $25 certificate to design their own shirt! (Shipping is free!!)
• To enter tell us what would you put on your custom shirt? Then leave your name and email info in our comment section on MakeHerUp!
• Contest runs Friday, 7/08/11 to Friday, 7/15/11
• US  residents only
• After the winner has been announced, you will have 48 hours to respond.

Mica Gem is a more than a fragrance brand, it’s a movement. The idea
behind Mica gem is simple, as people improve their your own lives
through fragrance purchase, they’re helping to save the lives of the
millions of children that die each year from malaria because they
can’t afford an inexpensive mosquito net to sleep under.

With the philosophy of ” One Bottle = One Net = One Life” in mind,
for every bottle of Mica Gem’s Humana fragrance sold, a mosquito net
will be donated to Project Mosquito Net, is a non-profit project
dedicated to providing insecticide treated bed nets to children and
pregnant mothers in Kenya to prevent malaria infections and deaths.

Who is involved in Mica Gem?
* Kayla Ewell, Vicki from The Vampire Diaries
* Samantha James , recording artist
* Mark Moreno, former professional surfer, now an acclaimed DJ/producer
* Forrest Shearer, professional snowboarder and ambassador for
Protect Our Winters

Mica Gem was started by Sarah Reilly, who with her husband Mike, a
three-time national amateur champion and former World Qualifying
Series professional surfer, who saw first hand through their travels
how some of life’s most basic needs aren’t being met for children
around the world. Sarah reached out to her personal network and
brought together a small lineup of family and friends with collective
backgrounds in action sports, philanthropic pursuits and a passion
for fragrance to help the company get off the ground.

More on the scents and their development can be found online at www.micagem.com.
