No more bad hair days! 
Find out how with these pro tips…

With today’s busy lifestyle and ever changing hair trends, it can often be a challenge to keep your locks looking their best. So we’ve rounded up 3 great styles to take you from day to night to the weekend in style.

For Day:
The Sleek & Straight Pony is a winner! You may have recently noticed models sporting this look on the runways. The best part is that it’s so easy to recreate the look at home.

While hair is damp, apply a smoothing lotion throughout your hair. We like Give it to Me Straight Super Smoothing Lotion from mark. It will help banish frizziness and heighten shine. Next, using an elastic, comb hair back and pull into a classic ponytail. Now pull a lock from underneath and wrap it around the elastic. To hide, simply tuck the remaining tip under the elastic or secure from underneath with a hairpin. To set the look, apply new Locks in Place Buildable Hold Hairspray from mark.

For Night:
The piecey tousled look is hot and now you can have this celebrity-inspired look, too! To get it, use Double Do Shape and Gloss Kit from mark on dry hair. First, twist locks and apply the shaping wax onto hair to add texture and definition. Then run the solid gloss over hair to add shine and smooth flyaways. It’s a great product to keep in your handbag to tame unruly hairs and cowlicks too. Now finish the look with Locks in Place Buildable Hold Hairspray from mark.

For Weekends:
Go casual with waves! To get the look, apply Curl Commander Curl and Wave Gel from markto damp hair. This will help to eliminate frizz. Next, gently scrunch and allow to air dry or… if pressed for time, use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment and gently twist locks as you dry them. And if your curls need a little pick me up, Curl to Curl Reactivate and Define Mist will revive and boost those deflated curls.

Discover the beauty tool that leaves skin looking flawless…

When it comes to applying makeup, the tools you use are as important as the products themselves, which is why no one should be without this little wonder: The Precision Grip Teardrop Blender is the secret to applying and blending makeup seamlessly. Its unique teardrop shape and pointed tip allow you to access hard-to-reach areas like under the eye or around the nose. Plus, its suede-like texture eliminates visible makeup lines and streaks.

Here’s how to use it:

1) Dampen the Precision Grip Teardrop Blender using tepid water, then gently squeeze or blot excess moisture.

2) Dip into liquid or cream foundation.
Note: The Blender can also be used with tinted moisturizers and self-tanners, too.

3) Gently tap or stipple makeup onto your skin, section by section. Use the wider portion for cheeks and forehead, and the pointed area for under eye, around the nose and chin area.

Once complete, your makeup coverage will be flawless and streak-free.

Find the Precision Grip Teardrop Blender in Avon’s Campaign 12 Brochure for only $6.99. When you consider that similar applicators retail for over $20, it makes sense to take advantage of this great Avon price.

Your top skin care questions answered…

Skincare while an integral part of your routine can sometimes be tricky: Everything from knowing which products to use and when to how to use them. To take the guesswork out of it all, we’ve rounded up some of the most commonly asked questions to provide you with answers:

Q: I’m often confused about which steps to include in my skincare routine. What should I be doing? 
A: A healthy skincare routine should consist of a cleanser, moisturizer with SPF for day and one without for night, along with an eye cream. Be sure to always choose products that are targeted to your skin’s specific needs. A great way to find what’s right for you is to take advantage Avon’s 2-week Anew regimen starter kits.

Q: Sometimes when I apply moisturizer some areas still seem dry or patchy. Should I be doing something differently?
A: Apply moisturizer while skin is still damp. First, dot moisturizer all over face and neck. Next smooth up and out, starting from the centre of your face and gently massage into skin.

Q: Is there a special technique to use when applying eye cream? 
A: Tapping is the key. Dab, your eye cream along the bone area around the eye. You should never go closer as this could risk getting product into the eye. Next, gently tap with finger from inner to outer corner.

Q: Sometimes my skin starts to look dull and uneven and my products don’t seem to absorb as well. What can I do? 
A: Over time, dead skin cells can start to accumulate. To address this, it’s best to gently exfoliate. Adding a product like Anew Clinical Resurfacing Expert Smoothing Fluid can help re-texturize your skin and did you know that it’s proven to be 79% as effective as a professional microdermabrasion – without the same irritation. *
