How to do a Blotted Pout look

I really enjoyed last night's episode of Project Runway, although my favourite of the designs, didn't win the top spot.

My fave designer, last night, was Kenya Freeman, but there is such a lot of talent on the show. Her dress was created from newspapers (they had to use recycleable materials).





Hector introduced another "look" with his make up - the blotted out - and the "how-to" is below:
Be inspired with this week’s featured look starring Avon makeup. Get fun tips
and watch Avon in the spotlight as the official beauty sponsor of Project Runway
every week (Thursdays, 9 pm ET/8 pm C on Lifetime). Watch it, wear it, share it!


How to Get the Look

the Avon products that you will want to get your hands on.

It's all about the looks!


 C-19 is all about the "looks" that you can achieve with make up, starting from the base up, and has "how-tos" so that you can copy those that AVON's make up artistes have created. 

With the beginning of the "Project Runway" series on Lifetime TV, in partnership with New AVON LLC for the 2017 season, there are even more opportunities to see some new looks, as well. Hector Simancas, Lead AVON Make Up Artist, is responsible for the ones you see on the runway each week and is happy to share his tips with us all.

Here are some of his ideas, to help you get some professional looks for the Fall, and to make you the belle of the holiday season get-togethers, along with other advice from Kelsey Deenihan and Lucy Hale.


Eyes are often one of the most first-noticed features, and 2 looks in particular, are a favourite.
One is the smoky eye



and the other is the cat eye.



Hector's tips are short and sweet, and easily remembered, so that no matter how much of a novice you are, you can copy his advice and get a great look. In this video clip from New AVON LLC he emphasizes the 2 products that he feels can make a fast, yet impressive, look - lipstick and mascara. The clip is less than 2 minutes and is an easy watch, as Hector has a very casual manner, in front of the camera.


Fashion mags, recently, have been highlighting bold looks and fashion statements, and New AVON LLC is ready to help you join the throng, with bold colours, too.



Lucy Hale, AVON's mark. brand ambassador, is quick to show off the kaleidoscope of colours in mark.'s make up line up in this video clip



More from Hector: "less is better". 

A day look, and a night time look. 

I LOVE how he discusses his techniques and the total "look" that you are going for, taking into account things like, your hair colour, the clothes that you are going to wear that day, and your mood.


The Anew Serum featured in the Style Sprinter video above, is one of my favourites and is a wonderful moisturizer suitable for all skin types.


Finally, heres the latest A Box for you in Campaign 19, and it's only $10 with any $40 purchase on my website at www.youravon.com/rosemarydempsey




Will you be watching Project Runway on Lifetime, on Thursday evening? I'd love your comments under this blog post, thanks! And feel free to share!

Who's Watching Project Runway Tonight?

Lights, Camera, Avon!
PREMIERES AUGUST 17, 8/7C ON LIFETIME
AVON stars as the official beauty sponsor of Project Runway Season 16 debuting tonight. I can’t wait to see all the gorgeous looks created by Hector Simancas and the designers in the Avon Beauty Lab!


I am so excited about this. To tell the truth, I have never seen this show before but I am dying to see it from all that I have heard. I want to see the looks that they create using #AVONmakeup and I LOVE that the models are going to be ALL sizes! Yes, all the way up to size 22, just like everyday people.  I love that ACCEPTANCE of "normal" body sizes here in the USA, instead of the super skinny models that have been walking the runways for the last 30-40 years. Yes, there will still be some, because we ladies come in all shapes and sizes, but  think it's great that we'll see looks and fashions for all of them.

I can't wait to hear feedback from my friends and family on this ... and from all who read my blog! 

Follow AVON live on Facebook (@AvonUSARepresentatives), Twitter (@AvonInsider), and Instagram (@AvonInsider) for the behind-the-scenes scoop. Join the party and share the fun using hashtag #AvonxProjectRunway in all your social media posts.

Coming Soon - New Breast Cancer Crusade Items!

My hubby lost his mum to this horrible disease, when he was just a young boy so I am proud of AVON's support for breast cancer awareness, for cancer victims, and raising money for research and testing. They were the first corporate sponsor in the fight against breast cancer, starting their Breast Cancer Crusade back in 1992 and had donated over $800 million to breast cancer programs around the world, as of 2015.

At RepFest, at the beginning of this month, attending representatives were treated to previews of upcoming product launches along with incentives, training sessions and motivationals speakers.

So what's coming up in AVON's BCC range? 

The new series is entitled "Pink Hope" and comprises items that, when purchased by you automatically donate a portion of the price that you pay, to the Breast Cancer Crusade.

 This Pink Hope jewelled collar necklace has a goldtone chain with a lobster clasp,  and is chunky with simulated gemstones. It will be $27.
 I love this cute handbag charm that easily hooks onto the strap of your handbag or tote and will be $7.

The Pink Hope mini backpack is made from lightweight nylon and is fully lined, has a zip closure and a top handle. Inside, there is a zipped pocket, and the outside features 2 zipped pockets, one on each side. The bright floral design is jaunty and fashionable, and the backpack has adjustable padded shoulder straps and will be in the brochure in Campaign 21 for $25.

This oversized tote is another of my favourites - its 17 H x 23" L x 6.5" D makes it roomy enough to carry plenty of "stuff" whether heading to the beach, going shopping or just hanging it. It's strongly made from canvas and has a top zip closure, 2 interior slip pockets, and 1 interior zipped pocket. It's in a bold pink floral design with black straps and a leatherlike base and will be $30. 

 Our Pink Hope candle is in a beautiful pink peony fragrance and will be $12.

Another of my personal favourites is this Pink Hope Ribbon Power Cuff that will retail for $20. I love the colours and I love the design and I think it makes a lovely accessory to go with a variety of outfits and make a statement.

 These ribbon power earrings are super cute too and dressy enough to wear for business functions, and playful enough for casual dressing or clubbing.  They are going to be $12.
 This ribbon power pendant is designed to match the earrings, but can also be worn as a stand alone accessory, and will be $20.

And finally, this $15 trio of useful zippered bags which are fully lined and made of nylon, have many uses - the smallest would be a useful change purse, another might be handy for make up, whatever you decide, it's up to you!



The Pink Hope Collection makes supporting AVON's Breast Cancer Crusade so simple, and the items make great gifts too, so please consider checking them out when they are all introduced in campaign 21, and thinking of the people on your gift list who would enjoy one or more of them.

Thanks for looking!

AVON's new A Boxes

Oh I just LOVE these! The first has been a big hit and the upcoming ones are sure to be as well.

For starters, they are only $10 and the contents are easily worth 3-5 times that.

Secondly, they make great gifts!

Thirdly, they offer a chance to use some #AVONproducts that you may not have tried before.

Some items are trial size and some are full size, and each of the next few campaigns has a unique new A Box. Whether New AVON LLC will continue this into the New Year, I don't know right now, but I know I think it's a great idea and I'd love to see it become a permanent thing.

Attendees at this years RepFest in Nashville were able to see all of the upcoming sets, and NOBODY had anything negative to say, everyone is so excited about them.








As I mentioned earlier, each is only $10 but that's with a $40 order, and the nicest thing is, you'll get free shipping on that order too.

When you shop on my website www.youravon.com/rosemarydempsey you also have an option, during checkout, to send your order as a gift to someone else. 


Have a student away in college? Send them a care package of personal care items, such as body wash, shampoo and conditioner, body lotion, deodorant etc and add an A Box as an extra surprise.

This also works well for military serving overseas as well, it can ship direct to their military PO Box HOWEVER the Post Office will not allow inflammables or glass items to be sent, but when you pop in an military PO address overseas at checkout, the site will alert you of things that cannot be shipped.

The first A Box



is available, during Campaign 18, on my website until Friday 18 November 11.59pm EST so if you'd like that one, please make sure to place an order before then. 

Have  a great day!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I'm always happy to answer

Coming Soon - Espira!

AVON is going back in time, but with a modern twist.

Back in the first AVON brochures, health and wellness products, and cook's aids such as food colourings, were featured alongside the lotions, cosmetics and fragrances. At RepFest 2017, New AVON LLC unveiled its new range of health and wellness products, Espira,and gave all the reps present the complete range to try. It will be released nationally in January 2018.




My upline, Glori, took all the pics I'm sharing. She was using Plexus but says she is already hooked on the range (she started using them the day they gave the out!)


To begin with, the range focuses on the 3 Pillars of Wellness : Restore, Boost and Glow. Each premise has its own unique products to offer complete renewal and replenishment, daily.


What I like from reading up on them is that they are all natural, and plant-based.  I've never understood how supplements with "fake nutrients" - created from chemicals rather than natural sources - can be "good" for our bodies. Never.

Whilst at RepFest, attendees were given the chance to try the Plant Power Protein Powder Shakes, and Glori and Jenn both loved them. They tried 2 flavours, chocolate and vanilla, and Glori said the chocolate was awesome, and (although she admits to not being a vanilla shake fan) the vanilla was tasty too. 



They were also very impressed with the attention to allergies and personal choices (non-GMO ingredients and ok for Vegans) too.



The Daily Essentials are packaged individually, and the only difference in the women's and women's over 40, is that the latter contains less iron (our bodies require less as we age).

The Calm blend aims to help you enjoy your day and have you body deal with the stresses so they don't overwhelm, as they can sometimes do.




For those working towards weightloss, the Metabolism Boost may be just the helper they need in their eating and activiity plan.






Again, its ingredients are plant-based and natural.

Well, that's the scoop on one of New AVON LLC's introductions at RepFest 2017.

There's so much more to tell too.

Have a wonderful day.
