Win $150 Worth of Avon Goodies!
Contributed by: Senior Beauty Editor Amber Katz
This week, we're giving away a ton of Avon goodies! The products being given away are over $150 in value and will arrive at the winner's residence in the new Marimekko tote. One lucky winner will get the following items:
In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon
Megan told you guys how much we love this fragrance collaboration between Avon and Reese Witherspoon in this blog post. I can't get enough of the scent's subtle femininity. When that Reese puts her mind to something, she gets it done right, even if it's way outside of her realm of experience. Case in point: She'd never sang a day in her life before scoring her Oscar-winning role as June Carter Cash. She put in some major overtime practicing to channel the songbird so successfully.
Patrick Dempsey 2 Fragrance
This is a total sneak peek as this scent has not yet been released, but one lucky winner will snap it up before it hits shelves! Avon collaborated with Patrick Dempsey to debut the actor's second fragrance, aptly named Patrick Dempsey 2. Patrick worked with Avon and took inspiration from the strong connection he shares with his wife, Avon Global Creative Color Director Jillian Dempsey. Jillian Dempsey even appears with him in the Avon brochure and global advertising shots.
The U by Ungaro Color Collection
Following the success of the U by Ungaro fragrances,Ungaro teamed up with Avon again to infuse its fashion sensibility into a new beauty collection you'll need in your arsenal. We're giving away three eyeshadow singles, a face shimmer and three lipsticks!

My favorite holiday make up look is the subtle double winged eyeliner look inspired by Evan Rachel Wood in True Blood. Along with being highlighted with a champagne colored eyeshadow, using a volumizing mascara and paired with a wine colored lipstick; I find it a unique way to celebrate the holidays. No bronzer necessary for this edgy twist on a classic 40's style look!

My favorite holiday makeup look would have to be what I did for Christmas last year: a winged cat eye with liquid eyeliner, golden hued eyeshadow, a dash of pink blush and my guava Covergirl lipgloss :) It went perfect with the camel colored knit dress and black booties I wore

For me christmas and new years is like halloween where you can be bold and daring and where eye looks you wouldn't normally wear out regularly. I love doing my makeup for the holidays!

I love the holiday make-up looks that have lots of jewel tones! Like ruby red lips, amethyst eye shadow, etc. It just says "holiday season" to me.

My favorite Holiday makeup look is shimmery eyes and face. I like darker eye shadow lavender and brown. I like my foundation to be a shade darker than my own natural color, but gotta have the shimmer.

My favorite holiday look is " Party Purples" and consists of a fuchsia lip,
midnight blue eye liner and amethyst shadow for a modified smoky eye!
It actually balances itself out & doesn't overpower your face!!

I'm really reserved and laid back through out the year,but when the holidays come around I like to show out! My signature holiday makeup consist of a smokey eye using greys and brown with a little hint of gold just for that extra sparkle. Black winged eyeliner and lashes are a must! Lips, I like sheer gloss with a hint of red. A little foundation and I am PICTURE PERFECT!!!

My favorite look is Avon's Anew foundation applied with a brush, the quad eyeshadows in browns and Glazewear Sparkle lip gloss. I use almost all Avon products exclusively now. It gives a youthful appearance!

My holiday makeup depends mainly on the outfit. i tend to wear mainly browns of almost any shade w/ black or brown liner and a nude lip balm of some sort. as far as a foundation i believe i would choose the smooth minerals over any of it. i generally dont wear any blush unless really getting dolled up. I always remember what my mom would always tell me growing up "Less Is More"

For everyday I usually just wear soft coloured eye liner(pink, lite purple) mascara and pale pink lip gloss. For Christmas and New Years I go all out. I like cream and burgundy eye shadow or lite peach and brown eye shadow. I like a soft pink or peach colour for my cheeks and a nice glossy red for my lips.

For holiday parties, definitely shimmering! Lightly shimmer foundation, use shimmering body cream on bare shoulders, arms, and chest. For eyes, use a dramatic dark color with plenty of shimmer, and classic red lips. Red always says, "Christmas!"
For family gatherings, I tone it down a bit, but stil use the shimmering foundation and body cream for a festive look. Neutrals for eyes, and again, the red lips!

For the holidays I plan on going all AVON. I'll start with the smooth minerals foundation, followed by a subtle smooth minerals blush. I'll downplay the blush and keep the eyes subtle, yet defined using my new minerals eyeliner in "earth" and minerals eyeshadow in sandstone. This way I can play up the lips with a bright festive red topped off with a little gloss for added shine. I'll go for a somewhat retro/glam look with products all from AVON.

I usually wear my makeup as normal, but then add some glitter, either by spray in my hair or glitter eyeshadow for just a little hint of sparkle.

My favorite holiday look is simple and sparkly. I love the nude glittery lip gloss with a splash of pink/purple eyeshadow with a little hint of shimmer to the eyelid. And of course i have to have my lashes popping.

I love a dramatic eye with lavender on lid, white on brow and amethyst in the crease. Black eyeliner with black mascara. Mauve cheek, and lip color. Add a shimmer of silver or gold all over.

Hurray for Avon! As an Avon rep my favorite holiday look is the Mocha Latte Avon quad (which is currently available for $4.99!!), these are rich and sultry earth tones which are perfect for day or night. I also enjoy the Magix tinted face perfector in medium, it allows even coverage without looking caked on. I top off the look with a blush by the Ungaro color collection and a nice sheer pro-to-go lipstick in intimate nude.
So happy to see Avon on your site!
All the best,
Petra

Sparkle and shine! When else do we get to dress up in tinsel and put glitter on our eye lids? Doing it in the right spirit is what's important though- remembering that the sparkle comes from within!

My favorite holiday look usually depends on the kind of dress i wear. I really like to use purple and lilac eye shadows with a nude lip if I wear a simple dark color dress. I go for a smoky eye and pink lipgloss when I wear bright colored outfits :)
