Avon Top Picks: C2

It's been quite awhile since I posted my top pics from an Avon Campaign!  Let's just go and jump right in, though!

First, lots of GREAT bundles going on for just 10 bucks. 

Avon Suede Nail Enamel

Yesterday I got my Avon order and it included two shades of Avon's Suede Nail Enamel.  It comes in six Fall perfect shades and I chose Touch of Taupe and Sumptuous Rose.

It's also available in Fuschia Feel, Soft Violet, Blue Royale, and Platinum Beauty.  The model on the page here is wearing Soft Violet and Platinum Beauty.

It's recommended you wear this polish *without* a base or top coat, and I have to agree.  Unlike most nail polish, this dries to a very matte finish and although there is some shimmer to it, it's not glossy at all.  A top coat would ruin that effect.

Avon Top Picks: Campaign 20

Once again it's time to flip through the latest Avon catalog and find the best deals and hottest new products!  This campaign is chock full of great sales, and you should definitely take advantage of them to stock up your makeup bag and try new things for fall.  As always, if you see something you like, just click on the AVON Storefront tab to be taken to my Avon eStore.

Slow Going

Last Thursday my Avon order came in.  I love sorting out everyone's orders and packing their bags with new brochures and samples!  Unpacking the box makes a huge mess in the living room and making up door hangers with samples takes hours.  It's so much fun!
Yesterday we went for a walk and Matthew helped me hang bags on doors.  This is the first time I'm really trying to reach out to strangers to boost my business, and I'm really hoping it works.  I need it to work!

This will be my first campaign without the newbie commission boost, so unless I land more sales, I'm afraid I won't be able to even afford being a rep.  So far my orders have all come from friends, family, and coworkers, and I really appreciate their business but I need more.  I would hate to give up on something that I enjoy so much!

I'm going to try to slip Avon into a few more tweets during the week, and I'm thinking about making a page on Facebook also.  I'm definitely NOT going to start an Avon only blog!  I have a lot of time on my hands, but I don't have *that* much time!  It's a little frustrating because the only thing I've gotten for my efforts on the web have been scams.  Good thing I'm a smart little cookie :D

If any of you wonderful readers would like to host an eParty on your blog, I'd love to set one up.  Hostesses get a discount on their personal orders equivalent to my rep discount!  Now is a good time because Avon has all of their adorable Halloween decor available.  If anyone's interested, let me know!  And if you'd like to visit my Avon store and register as a customer you'll get an email once every two weeks when the new campaign starts.  That's it!  I promise your inbox won't get flooded!

Now before I start flat out begging for customers...

Have a good weekend everyone, see you on Monday!

Three Simple, Trendy Eyeliner Looks

If you head over to my Shop Avon page you'll see that we've rolled out with a new product: Glimmersticks Chromes.  (You'll also see my top picks for this campaign!)  Avon's Glimmersticks line is already America's #1 liner, and I know I've been using the waterproof Blackest Night for years!  Whenever I ran into an Avon lady, that's what I was missing the most!  Well, now there are the Glimmersticks Chromes, which I think gives you the best combination of existing lines of Glimmersticks.

There are six new shades with a reflective pearl chrome finish which gives it a color-change effect.  It also boasts up to 12 hours of water & smudge-proof wear!  How perfect for summer is that?!  As a Representative, I was able to order Chromes early and try one out!  I chose Burgundy Shock, which is a deep purple.  I didn't see too much color change, but it's a dark color, so maybe the lighter colors will reflect a little more.  I can definitely confirm water & smudge-proof, and 12 hours seems to be a minimum!  I've been wearing this for days I really like it, and I can't wait to order more colors!

Order yours at www.YourAVON.com/NicoleH

Here are three ways to make a bold eye using Chromes:

Ultra Violet & Flashy Steel

Pearl Girl with Cat Eyes
The cat eye look is a classic that is really hot right now!  Make it your own by using two colors that play off of each other. 

Burgundy Shock & Electric Pink

Multi-shaded Eyes
Pick two colors and apply the lighter color to the inside corner of your eyes.  From the middle to the outer corner, blend and extend the darker shade.

Veluxe Blue & Vivid Grey

Big, Bigger, Biggest Eyes
To get a wide eyed look, apply a darker liner above your top lashes.  Use a lighter shade to line the bottom lashes to make your eyes pop.

Pair any of these looks with a True Color Eyeshadow Quad (stays true for up to 12 hours) for a look that will really WOW.  Don't forget to top it off with a waterproof mascara that will thicken, volumize, or extend and you've got yourself a look that will stay in place all day!

The Newest Avon Lady

On Friday I did something I never thought I'd do.

Yes, I signed up for Avon.  Eric suggested it, and I was thinking about it, but I wasn't sure if I was ready to take on a home business.  Who would I sell to?  I don't have any friends!  Well, he went and entered our contact information anyway.

I first got a call some time last week.  I was caught off guard!  I couldn't commit to this without actually giving it some thought, so I told the woman that I wasn't interested right now and that was it.  Then on Thursday her District Manager texted me wanting to know if I was sure I wasn't interested.  At this point I'd had a couple of days to think it over so we made an appointment.  I figured, why not?  It only cost $10 to get started, and I got plenty of brochures to get me on my feet.

I am more excited than I thought I'd be!  The girls at work are all excited.  A few used to sell or used to buy regularly, but they hadn't had an Avon lady in a while.  Instant customers!

Everyone knows someone who's sold Avon.  If you are a rep, or used to be, I'd love to hear your tips and advice.  And if you'd like to browse the current brochure, you can do so by visiting my eStore www.yourAvon.com/NicoleH

So this week I'm going to be working on a new page for the blog that will highlight what's new and on sale in the catalogs.  I'd love it if you guys would check it out when it goes up, and to revisit frequently!
