Have you tried Jeggings?

What’s not to love!

Don't miss this trend!!!




The dark nail trend continues into fall with a whole new twist. The difference this season: Nails go matte! Shade favourites like Black, Violet, Red and Grey remain must-haves, only now their sheen has given way to a velvety, muted matte finish.

To create this beautifully dramatic look at home, try Avon Matte Nail Enamel. Our editors can’t live without it in Grey Cement and Violetta.

Tip: Even short nails can wear dark colors. Just shape nails so that they’re naturally squared across and gently rounded on the sides. Then top with your dark shade of choice. The look is fresh and modern.

5 Mascara Tips You Need to Know1


5 Mascara tips you need to know!

Tip # 1 Wiggle your way to fuller looking lashes
When applying, wiggle the wand at the base of lashes then pull the wand up and through lashes. It’s the mascara placed near the roots (not the tips) that gives the illusion of fuller, longer lashes. For added volume and definition try SuperMagnify mascara. It’s the world’s first 1000 bristle brush designed to seek out and separate every lash!

Tip#2 No more clumps!
Keep lashes from clumping, invest in a lash comb and remove any clumps by combing through after applying. Or…clean off excess mascara before applying, by gently wiping wand with a tissue. This eliminates any clumps or blobs before you start.

Tip# 3 A real eye opener
Use an eyelash curler to give the appearance of wider, more curvaceous lashes. Then top with your favourite mascara. Check out the heated eyelash curler in C20! It’s fast, easy to use and clamp-free.

Tip# 4 Prevent smudges
Sometimes the eye creams and moisturizers we use can cause mascara to smudge. Prevent this by lightly powdering your under eye area before applying mascara.

Tip# 5 The secret to the 2nd coat
Love the look of two coats of mascara, but hate the clumps? The trick is to apply the 2nd coat before the first coat is dry. You’ll have to work quickly, but with a little practice, it will all be worth it!

YOUR FALL MAKEOVER

While no one wants to see summer come to an end, there’s still plenty to look forward to, including fall’s freshest beauty trends! Changes in season often mean changes in your skin, so we’ve outlined a list of our favourite products to help you update your beauty routine and put your best face forward this season.

• Primer – This little wonder will help your face make the transition from summer to fall, by blurring out imperfections, making pores appear smaller and helping to keep shine at bay. Plus, it’s an ideal base for your makeup, helping it to last throughout the day. Our pick: Primed for perfection Face Primer by mark.

• Foundation - Seasonal changes often mean changes in skin tone, so the shades you use can vary from season to season. It’s a good idea to adjust and adapt accordingly. Our pick: Healthy Makeup Liquid Foundation SPF 10 for normal to dry skin types OR Healthy Makeup Mousse Foundation for oily to combination skin. Plus… All Healthy Makeup formulations are suitable for even sensitive skin!

• Eyeshadow – What a great way to experiment with fall colour trends. Opt for formulations that are crease-proof, smudge-proof and wear all day. Our pick: Healthy Makeup Eyeshadow in universally flattering shades like: Rose Satin, Tiger’s Eye or Iced Mocha.

• Lipstick - Fall is a fabulous time to invest in a selection of new lip shades and formulations. Lips are often prone to dryness in fall and winter, which can make lipstick application more difficult, with often less than flattering results. Instead, change your formula to something more hydrating or invest in a lip conditioner. Our pick: Healthy Makeup Lipstick SPF 15 or Healthy Makeup Lip Conditioner SPF 15, which provides lips with pampering nutrients and a much-needed moisture boost!

Who knew that just by making a few changes to your makeup bag, your fall makeover could be so beautifully easy!
