Giveaway Break - Pure Silk Shaving Cream

Don't pack away your skirts and dresses just yet! You can still wear them with tall boots and tights. Which means yes, you still have to shave your legs this winter!

Pure Silk makes shaving a breeze. Pure Silk Moisturizing Shave Cream, from the makers of Barbasol, is made for women, packed with ingredients like aloe and vitamin E to keep our skin soft.

If you're like me, and apply self tanner year round, make sure to exfoliate and shave beforehand, for a smooth application. The moisturizing ingredients in Pure Silk will help keep your bronzed skin smooth!

Pure Silk creams come in six different scents, Plumeria, Citrus Zest, Peaches & Cream Sensitive Skin Formula, Raspberry Mist, Coconut & Oat Flour and Melon Splash. I've been using Peaches & Cream for Sensitive Skin and love it. I'm horrible at shaving and it's been helping to keep me nick free and it smells great!

Backstage with Avon - Get the Look!

Get the hot look that Avon hair stylist Allen Ruiz created for the Charlotte Ronson Spring 2010 New York Fashion Week show.

The inspiration for the look was a remake of 80's style. Allen created the fresh, young wispy look, that mirrors Charlotte Ronson's collection, and the look gives off the "just walked out of dance class at Julliard" vibe.

Allen loves the look because he says,
"Spring is all about wearing your hair up and away from your face. Radiate confidence and positive energy by styling your bun so it looks finished, yet slightly disheveled. Wearing your hair up in a bun creates a youthful, fresh look that is easy-to-achieve!"

Step 1: Prep the hair from root to tip with Advance Techniques Salon Volume Finishing Spray to enhance natural shine and create volume.

Step 2: Using the Advance Techniques Paddle Brush and hair dryer, distribute the Advance Techniques Salon Volume Finishing Spray by sectioning off the hair and blow-drying to ensure that there is a natural, soft texture.

Step 3: Next, gather the hair tight to form a ponytail at the back crown of the head and secure with a ponytail holder keeping all sides flat.

Step 4: Holding hair at the base of the ponytail, twist the hair firmly in one direction to form a kink in to a spiral. Secure with bobby pins.

Step 5: On the sides, using the little hairs “muse” the wispy hairs to play up the natural texture.

Step 6: Lightly spray Advance Techniques Hair Spray to complete the style and hold in place.

MAC DSquared²

This collection brings us to the Ziegfeld Follies by way of Grey Gardens, a bit disheveled, a little Girl Interrupted, both dramatically hip and dangerously sexy.

It starts with a strong, sooty, blackest-ever wild-child eye… a new Greasepaint Stick also in blue and violet versions, and Pro Gloss to create it. Neutral and perfected skin will get more drama with highlighting and low lighting from Sculpt and Shape Powders and the 165 TaperedCheek/Highlight Brush all the better to achieve it. And finally, the totallynude Pro Lip Erase does its stuff, followed by a light Lipstick and Lip Conditioner to put the lilt and lift backin…. But the cynosure of this season’s scintillating collaboration is the daring, dramatic, slightly demented DSquared² eye. Have fun with it!
