Beauty Tips - How to Save Money And Get A Glam Look

There are lots of ways to look glamorous with great cosmetics at a budget price.  I'm not talking about department store prices or cheap drug store quality cosmetics.  You can actually have both - quality and affordability with Avon cosmetics, which cut out the retailer margins and, rotate special offers every 2 weeks.  There is no need to worry about someone knocking at your door; the e-store means you shop at home from your computer any time.

Beauty Money Saving Tips:

1. Use a lip brush to apply your lipstick.  You use less and you get to the bottom of the tube so you waste nothing.  Or, try one of the many super lip glosses for around $3 at Avon.  Lip glosses also have the benefit of plumping up and moisturizing your lips all day.

2. Be sparing with foundation if you want a natural look.  We all know you can spend tons of money on a good foundation in the department stores.  But seriously, have you recently looked at some super foundations at Avon?  Well it's time to check out some super quality foundations around $10 and under (when on offer), from Long Lasting all day Stay Put, to Smooth Mineral foundation with enriched vitamins to Anew Age Transforming foundations.  Yes these actually are under $10 if you shop smart and catch them on offer by registering for emails.

3. Define those eyes.  Ultra luxury liners at Avon are from $2 upwards and they are so rich and creamy and stay put all day.   Mascara is also important but those cheap drugstore brands usually flake and are not exactly cheap.  Avon have mascaras from around $2 and yes, they are super!  From Mistake Proof Mascara to Super Curl, Super Shock and a few more.  The Spectra Lash allows you to dial up the setting from 1 to 3 for a super glam look.  One mascara tube, 3 day to evening looks.  Now that's real value for money at under $10.

Check out this video to see how you should apply mascara by a make-up professional.

The best way to save money is to buy cosmetics when on offer.  That way you can have several great color looks each season without spending a fortune.  If you sign up you'll receive Free Shipping Offers almost every two weeks.  It couldn't be simpler, so come on over and browse.  Contact me for more information.

Best Ways To Fight Frizzy Hair

For some women, frizzy hair is a nightmare, even in summertime if you live in humid climates. But before we look at a solution, lets look at what causes the Frizzies.  

Dry porous hair sucks up moisture from humid air, which cause the hair shaft to swell and kink all over the place. The solution lies in preventing the hair from acting like a sponge in the first place, by putting on a protective coat. 

The Solution: Avon has just launched a wonderful product called Advance Techniques Lotus Shield  based on the principle of a lotus leaf, which naturally repels water, (nature's way). This breakthrough lotus inspired technology defies up to 97% of humidity. Problem solved! 

It's a leave-in treatment that forms a lightweight barrier helping to block out humidity, thus fighting frizz without weighing hair down. You apply it to damp hair and dry as normal.
