Introducing Color and Khaki for Fall

by

I’ve been joking that “mustard and ketchup” is my new favorite color combination, and as funny as it sounds, they really work well together! It’s a great way to go into the colder months with a pop of color that mixes and matches well with the season’s heavy bout of neutrals. In this look, the centerpieces are certainly the crimson NYDJ jeans and the Avon Convertible Trench Jacket, which has the capability to be worn in three different ways. It’s always fun to have options, especially when a flux in temperature can be anticipated or you need suitcase-friendly options when you travel. See below for what I’m wearing in this outfit, as well as the rest of the convertible trench pics (which of the three styles is your favorite?).

by

Avon

As you may already know, Avon has a lot more to offer than just cosmetics. I recently went to a showing of some items that are immediately available as well as a sneak peek of what’s to come in the fall. Look forward to capes, dresses, shoes and bags with most coming in at under $50! These fashion-forward items will certainly surprise and delight you; a particularly stunning pair of yellow suedge wedges is what I will have to keep on the look out at Avon.com come fall.  Above are some of my favorite pieces shown, along with the brand new SuperSHOCK Max Mascara, now only $5.99 (was $9) in Brown/Black and the SuperSHOCK Liquid Lip Shine SPF 15, $4.99 (was $8).

Avon’s 12-in-1 Shimmering Eye Palette

by

Unless it is on my nails, I usually don’t  like glitter or shimmer in my makeup. BUT in the Avon 12-in-1 Shimmering Eye Palette, $20, the shimmer is so subtle, I feel like I’m wearing something way more matte than the title might allude to. Colors that work with every eye color can be found in this palette, and I love the long, slender packaging with two applicator brushes, because come on – for 12 colors, one brush jut isn’t going to cut it! I used the third color from the left as a base, and then a thin line of the green (second from right) along the lash line, and was relieved to discover that these are certainly office appropriate hues, despite the fact that they define your eyes, they don’t make them sparkle like a disco ball.
