Great Deals with Avon

I just received this email on lip glosses for $1.99 and free shipping when you spend $20 or more.  I just had to share.

Weekend Makeover

I went to Cleveland this weekend to hang out with my family for Mother’s Day.  On Saturday, I gave my sister a make-over using Avon and Mark cosmetics.  My sister doesn’t use much make up so I wanted to keep her look very natural.

On my sister I used the Mark Please Hold primer in Medium/Dark-this product does double duty as a primer and concealer.  The Please Hold primer will not be available for purchase until May 26, 2010.  I used Anew Age-Transforming Foundation in medium beige.

For eye shadow I used Mark eye shadows in Biscotti over the entire eye and Expresso in the crease.  I lined her upper and lower lids with black/brown Avon pencil eyeliner.  I used Avon Supershock mascara on the top lashes.

On her cheeks I used Mark Just Pinched instant blush tint in Spicy.

On lips I used  Dew Drenched Moisturlicious Lip color in Dew and  Glow Baby Glow Luxe Hook-up lip gloss in Flirty Luxe

Shopping for Mother’s Day

Mom, if you are reading this post, stop and read on Monday :)

 

So a co-worker gave me a coupon for the Coach outlet store, 20% off any purchase and 30% off any purchase of $250.00 or more.  In an hour, I was done and walking out with gifts for my mother, mother-in-law, my sister and a little something for myself. 

I was pretty set on purses, I thought I had all the bags in all the colors that I need, (silver, black, brown, stone, cognac) but I found this great neutral color tote that is a great every day bag.  It goes with many things so I don’t have to change my purse so often.  The original price of the bag was $358 and I ended up paying $118.31.  I also ended up getting a wallet, original price was $208 and I ended up paying $66.49.  The deals at the Coach outlet are amazing.

The coupon is good until tomorrow May 9, 2010.  The Coach outlet that I went to was just handing out the coupons,  but just in case click here to get the coupon.

Below is a picture of the bag I bought for myself.  It is hard to tell in the picture but the bag is cream not white.

New Signature Piece

I love working with Pearls, fresh water and Swarovski Pearls.  I made pearl necklace that is perfect for weddings, formal events as well as for the office.  This necklace has a slight twist to your mother’s string of pearls.  The necklace that I am wearing is made from white and lavender Swarovski 8mm pearls.  The center of the necklace is made from 10mm white Swarovski pearls separated by Swarovski crystal rondelle beads.  I paired the necklace with a white sweater and gray slacks.  What do you think about the necklace?

My turquoise necklace

Over the weekend I made a double stranded turquoise and sterling silver multi-strand necklace.  I planned to sell on my Etsy shop but after I tried it on with my outfit today and decided to keep it.  I felt very bold wearing Turquoise with a pale yellow sweater.  This is the first time I wore accessories that did not match perfectly with my outfit.  I loved how it looked, to pair such a bold color with a pastel color.  What do you think?
