Hello Friends, I hope you had an enjoyable weekend!
As an Avon Independent Sales Rep I probably have more cosmetics than I need but I like trying new products so that I can spread the word to my customers or answer any questions they may have. I don’t particualarly like to spend a lot of money on makeup and usually stick to an under $5.00 price point but I was curious about the new Mega Effects Mascara.
The $10 cost made me a bit apprehensive as well as the fact that it looked a little more complicated to apply and I don’t have a lot of time in the morning, but I bit the bullet and ordered it. The first morning I tried it I ended up poking myself in the eye and getting smudges on my lower lashes, I was trying to use it like a traditional brush.
The WonderBrush handle is like a mini paint brush that is adjustable, and is shaped to fit the natural curve of your lashes.
I am going to be honest and say that it took two mornings for me to become comfortable in using it but now it’s just as quick to apply as any other mascara. It provides great volume, there’s no clumping, and it’s easy to remove at night.
This was definitely worth the price.

Hello Friends and Happy Monday
Today’s outfit is the Avon color block dress which was first featured in this May 2012 post, wow, time sure does fly by! This time I decided to pair it with a little animal print from the matching earring & necklace set to the shoes and small pouch which was a DIY project.
This small canvas pouch was covered with surplus fabric using a hot glue gun. It’s a perfect size to carry a wallet, cell phone and keys.
The lucite earrings and necklace set was purchased at Jewelrymax.com and the lucite rings from Burlington Coat Factory
I love the touch of animal print in these black pumps from Rugged Wearhouse featured here in September
Have a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches

I’m not sure if you’ve seen an Avon catalog lately and if not, here’s just a taste of what you’ve been missing. As an Independent Sales Rep for Avon for over 15 years I’ve seen many changes all of them good. Avon is a company that has been in business for 125 years and has changed with the times without sacrificing the quality of their products, however, it is no longer your grandmother’s Avon – check it out.

I’m always looking for a mascara that will lengthen my lashes, is not too thick or clumpy and will make my eyes pop because I don’t have the patience to wear falsies. There are so many to chose from and I have a mini collection of several brands including Avon as evidenced below.
Beauty and department store’s overpriced brands are not my cup of tea; drug store with a coupon or Dollar Tree works just fine. Lately I have been using Rimmel Volume Flash Mousse Mascara Black and I think the search is over.
What do you think?
I SEE YOU … NOW GET BACK TO WORK!

If you have a pair of shoes that are a bit too tight you can stretch them in the freezer. Partially fill a Ziploc/Hefty bag with water removing as much air as possible and then put the bag into the toe of the shoe. Tilt the shoes downward when you put them into the freezer so that the water is molded into the top of the toe. If the shoes were previously worn put them in a grocery bag before putting them into the freezer to eliminate any transfer of dirt/bacteria. After a day or two remove the shoes from freezer, allow the ice to thaw and then remove the bags of water. The frozen water should have stretched the shoes to make them more comfortable but if not stretched wide enough, repeat and leave them in the freezer longer. This method works well on leather and faux leather peep toe shoes, but I am trying this on these faux suede from Avon which were pre-treated with a water repellent.

As an Avon Independent Sales Rep I have to be careful not to go overboard especially with the shoes! If you haven’t seen an Avon catalog lately, check out the latest shoes and clothing items for the Spring at http://www.youravon.com/ablake48.
Avon shoes and sandals are very comfortable!
Color Blocked Dress and Belt are sold separately.
