Avon's Celestial Eye Shadow in Moon Sand can be described as a sandy beige pearlized shade with a hint of frost. It's great to use as a wash all over the eyes or just as a highlighter on the brow. There is not a lot of pigmentation in this eye shadow when used dry. I had to swipe it several times in order for it show up on my lids. It can be used for a wet or dry application. I found it easy to blend and the texture is incredibly soft. Overall I thought it was an okay eye shadow.
Jillian’s Tip: “Since the formula is baked, I love to apply it wet for super-saturated color. Use a wet brush to sweep color in the crease and make eyes pop. Add a touch of highlighter to the inner corners for a wide-eyed look.”
Big Glossy Lip Pencil in Glossy Rose is a peachy rose shade that is a lipcolor and liner in one. I was totally shocked at the amount of shine it produced. It goes on sheer and the coverage is buildable. It also lasts a long time to. I can't get over how creamy and light it feels on the lips. You can see in my photo below that it actually looks like a gloss. What I also like about this pencil is that I did not have to resharpen it after using it several times.
This is definitely one lip pencil you really have to try out.
Special Discount
TMD has teamed up with Samantha Ruiz Avon Representative to offer you, my wonderful readers, a special discount.
The Moon Sand eye shadow is currently on special for $6.99 and will be sold regularly for $8.00. The Big Color Glossy Lip Pencil is currently $4.99 and will be sold for $6.00. These prices are good through Campaign 8.

Eyes remain the focus with a palette of sunny brights, aquatic shades and barely-there tints of pearly coconuts and sandy tans. With swirls of pearl, marbleized baked shadows make eyes glisten while Big Color Glossy Lip Pencils create fresh, soft lips. Pale, opalescent nail shades complete the soft romantic look.

Jillian’s Tip: “Since the formula is baked, I love to apply it wet for super-saturated color. Use a wet brush to sweep color in the crease and make eyes pop. Add a touch of highlighter to the inner corners for a wide- eyed look.”
NEW Formula – Big Color Glossy Lip Pencil ($6.00): A liner and gloss in one, the pencil defines lips with juicy color and an ethereal glow. The moisturizing formula glides on smoothly to illuminate lips with divine shine. Available in Glossy Celestial, Glossy Rose, Glossy Sand and Glossy Sunset.

Jillian’s Tip: Smile to see the apples of your cheeks and apply a dot of Be Blushed on the center. Blend with your fingers in a circular motion toward upper cheekbones.

HOW TO GET A 1940’S HAIRSTYLE WITH TERRI APANASEWICZ
The hot hairstyle that celebrities are sporting is the modernized 1940’s hairstyle, made famous by the iconic Rita Hayworth, as seen on Gisele Bundchen, Scarlett Johannsen, Karolina Kurkova and Kyra Sedgwick. This style creates a classically beautiful look in relatively little time. Celebrity hairstylist, Terri Apanasewicz, gives Modelinia.com the tips on how to re-create this iconic look.
HOW TO GET THE LOOK:Step 1: Start with smooth straight hair with a diagonal part and take a medium section of hair and spray with a little hairspray.
Step 2: Wrap the section around a medium size curling iron and beginning with the ends of the hair, roll the hair around the curling iron to the root of the head, release the curling iron and pin the curl to the head.
Step 3: Keep on alternating with opposite diagonal parts of the hair and continue around the whole face.Step 4: For the back of the head, continue the same steps but do not go all the way to the root.
Step 5: Let hair cool, release curls and brush through. For the finishing touches, take a little palmade to shape curls and finish off with hairspray.
To watch how Terri re-creates the 1940’s reminiscent look and do it for yourself, go to www.modelinia.com
