Do U play with fire? Intriguingly sensual. Irresistibly addictive. The Ungaro Maison's newest fragrance was created for the woman who dares to reveal her confident sensuality and chic sophistication. U by Ungaro Fever makes a bold, feminine statement that captures the essence of Ungaro fashion. Pure sophistication in a fusion of smoldering woods and ultra-feminine florals. Tempting. Floral. Addictive. 1.7 fl. oz. ($34, avon.com)
In March’s Parenting magazine, they explored Fruity Spring Scents in their ”Try It Trend” section. AVON’s U by Ungaro’s FEVER for Her was described as the best fruity scent for springtime wear. “Get a jump on Spring by switching up your scent. This season, the freshest thing going on is fragrance bursting with fruity notes. AVON’s U by Ungaro’s FEVER for Her. A sophisticated blend of raspberry and mandarin, warmed up with notes of amber and musk.” ($34, avon.com)

Good Housekeeping’s April 2010 issue has the lovely Valerie Bertinelli on the cover, and inside it’s pages are AVON and mark. finds that will help you greet Spring with a smile!
On page 75, the “Good Looks” section goes over the best mascara buys for the type of lash look you are going for. Under the “Long & Lush” category, the application advice is as follows: “Start with dark liner from the tear duct to the outer corner. After you curl your lashes and put on primer, slick on two coats of lengthening mascara, wiggling the wand back and forth at the base and extending the color out to the tips.” Product picks? “Use a medium-to-thick lengthening formula and a brush with LOTS of bristles, such as AVON’s SuperExtend Mascara, ($8.50, avon.com) with tiny fibers that stick to and elongate lashes.” Yay AVON! Wanna know something even better? This fantastic mascara is presently on sale for only $5.99! Loving that beauty bargain!
Another great Beauty Deal was found on page 85. The page described cute little multitasking makeup brands that you can throw in your purse, without it taking up tons of space, or tons of your time to apply. On their list of eight great finds, mark.’s “Pretty Wild” lipgloss came in third. It’s described as a “Shade Shifter“: “Squeeze a clear AND colored gloss from one tube. mark. Pretty Wild Color & Shine Lip Gloss in Candy Fix ($7, meetmark.com) Pretty nice, but they forget to mention that it also tastes & smells minty delicious!
Last, but definitely not least… mark. is found again on page 171, with Good Housekeeping’s “Swing into Spring” section where they share “the season’s latest looks.” Even though the mark. treasure they found was small, the black enamel ring made a huge impact in their “black & white” collection. Unfortunately, this great find is now sold out. But I’ve found a pretty good substitute! If you’ve been hesitant to try animal prints, perhaps this mark. adjustable Zebra print ring would be a good start!
I know this post is a tad on the late side, being that we’re in April now… but I need to reiterate to all my beauty gals, that AVON is indeed everywhere! In the Beauty pages of March’s Marie Claire issue they suggest how a stronger, fresher look for eyes should involve the application of a navy eyeliner instead of the tried and true brown & black we use 95% of the time. Navy works with all eye colors, especially us brown eyed gals ; )
I’ve blogged before about our wonderful Smooth Minerals Eyeliner. It’s hypo-allergenic, perfect for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, doesn’t pull or tug at the delicate eye area, and lasts ALL DAY.
I haven’t personally seen the Indigo featured in our Spring catalogs recently, but that doesn’t mean it’s not on the AVON website. Please visit my store to order your Smooth Mineral makeup today! If you have further questions, or need a helping hand ~ I’m available to chat with you, live! : )
“Avoid a retro look: Instead of black on the eyes, experiment with shades of blue.” AVON Smooth Minerals Eye Liner in Indigo, $6.
I was perusing the April 2010 edition of all you magazine, at the doctors office today and I came across the “Look good for less“ section. And whaddya’ know, the first outfit featured a lady-like suit accessorized by a very cute mark. nude bag! I LOVE finding our gorgeous AVON and mark. items in magazines. It reinforces my pride in representing such great companies. What I loved even more, is that the model photographed was not a teenager. It was a woman that could be in her early-mid 20′s or even early 30′s. mark. does not limit it’s style to just youth culture, it’s designed for anyone and everyone. If you have a little imagination, and allow yourself to “think outside the box”, you can show off your sense of style anytime! Buy your very own Arm Candy Bag at my store today!

Eternal Magic by AVON
Zoe Saldana, from feature films such as Star Trek and Avatar, is AVON’s newest leading lady featured in their Eternal Magic campaign. The scent for Eternal Magic was inspired by the rare flower, the Princess Monaco Rose.
People magazine quoted Zoe saying, “It means so much to me, to be associated with a company that shares my values and believes in empowering women.”
In Glamour Magazine’s article, “The Great GLAMOUR Sniff-Off” featured in the May 2010 issue, regular guys were asked to give their review of the perfume. Matt Bassil, 23 years old, said, “perfect for a laid- back woman. It reminds me of the outdoors.” ($23, avon.com) Eternal Magic by AVON was placed in the “For the Weekend” category of scents.
I personally own this scent, and I believe it’s not just a weekend kind of scent. It’s suitable for the office, the grocery store and even date night. It has a intimately light lily / jasmine-like scent that is just delicious. It’s reasonably priced, in stock & waiting for your purchase at my AVON store right now!

Check out this AVON customer’s review:
“This is my absolute FAVORITE blush/bronzer!! I use it as both and the highlight it gives is amazing! I got the peachy blush color and just ordered all the other colors too for some more variety – also as it is not going to be sold any more.
I highlight underneath my brows, my nose, and my cheeks with this. It goes on super smooth and lasts all day. I know it’s smaller than the other stick blush but I like this one much better as it goes on so much smoother!!”
