AVON Holiday 2014 Gift Guide is HERE!!

The Avon Holiday 2014 Gift Guide is here!  Please watch as Avon Blogger Ambassador and founder of Rouge 18, Amber Katz, shares her favorite gifts from Avon and mark. for the 2014 holiday season. Amber suggests her top presents for the beauty junkie, her favorite stocking stuffers and more.

One of Amber’s favorite gifts to give is the Avon Makeup Studio Palette which contains a total of 40 shades. With eyeshadows, cheek colors, and lip glosses, this kit has everything you need to apply a great look.  Avon sold something similar last year and my customers LOVED it!!  

Fragrance is a great holiday gift. Amber recommends Avon Luck for Her and Avon Luck for Him.  Avon Luck for Her blends citrus and berries while Avon Luck for Him blends cool spices with woody tones.

For women looking for a bold style, the Avon Standout Statement Necklace is the perfect present. A great look for parties, this chunky necklace boasts black, clear, and royal blue stones.

Stocking stuffers are one the best parts of the holidays. Amber recommends Avon Holiday Hand Creams and Avon Holiday Lip Balms.  These are perfect for the dry and cold weather that coincides with the holiday season.  Great gift for any age!!  

The smokey eye look is on trend this year, and the Avon Dare To Go Smokey Eye Set contains everything you need to achieve this fashionable style: eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara.

Nail fanatics like myself will love the Avon Nail Art Design Strips.  These limited edition patterns include snowmen, a silver textured style, tartan plaid, and pure white.  The snowman is my favorite!!  

Amber suggests the Avon Raising the Bar Tote for the fashionista on your list. This stylish bag features goldtone hardware and a removable strap.

For the makeup mavens, Amber recommends the mark. Eye Dream of Glam Palette, which contains 16 marblized shades of eyeshadow that can be applied as a liner or a shadow.

The mark. On the Dot Compact features nine new shades of lip gloss in a portable case, making it great as a present or stocking stuffer.  Buy one for you and a friend!  

For the beauty lover on your list, the mark. Gimme a Look 5-Piece Pro Brush Set is a complete collection of brushes for any look you can imagine. It contains an eyeliner brush, an eyeshadow brush, a concealer brush, and blush and bronzer brush, and a powder brush.

Amber’s final recommendation is the mark. Fix Me Up Multi-Benefit Scented Balm Trio.  This holiday exclusive moisturizes and repairs a variety of beauty problems and comes in three scents.

Let me know what some of YOUR favorite gifts are this Christmas season.  

It's been TOO long...

It has been months since I had taken the time to sit down and share with you what has been going on.  There is some much needed catching up to do.  How could I almost let the entire summer go by and not write one little post?  My apologies...

My sweet Grace has had a pretty awesome summer.  Our family started my a FABULOUS trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama.  From St. Louis it was just a 11 hour drive.  For us that is a walk in the park.  Our family enjoys a nice drive any day.  I love the family time, scenery and just the moments that you share and gain with each other. 

One of the amazing activities we were blessed to do on our trip was go on a Dolphin Cruise to look for Dolphins.  It was amazing...So much fun!!  I was in awe at how many we saw!   The place we used was called The Wharf Sunset & Dolphin Cruises in Orange Beach, Alabama.  Amazing job!!

Upon the return from our relaxing and much needed trip Grace started volleyball.  This would be the first time.  She will be playing at the local YMCA.  I must admit she is pretty damn awesome.  This momma is SO proud.  Her team name is Red Hots and that is exactly what they are.  Last week they won their first match.  It was awesome!!  Grace served the game point to the third game giving them the victory! 

The library was something that kept a lot of our days busy.  I love to read and so does Grace.  This summer she was so excited to get her own library card.  It's almost equivalent to a driver's license to her.  lol  "Oh Happy Day!" 

I cannot complain this summer.  I have gotten to spend many great moments with my family and friends and would not trade those moments for anything.  I will admit I am a little excited to see the summer come to an end to see what a new school year will bring as well as some cool air.  Fall has always been my favorite time of the year. 

Thanks for reading and I hope you have made the most out of your summer days! 

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!

Happiness Is.....

1.  Having my daughter rush home to tell me about her exciting new.
2.  Climbing into bed exhausted and having my cat, Midnight cuddle up next to me.
3.  Dancing in the kitchen with my husband, Doug.
4.  Finding something on sale and also have a great coupon for it.
5.  Spending time with friends just talking.
6.  Walking outside on a cool sunny day.
7.  Taking a road trip to see someone special. 
8.  The smell of lilacs on a summer day.
9.  Listening to my daughter read and realizing how talented she is.
10.  Have the best friends and family that always make me smile.

What makes you smile?  What is one thing you can count on that will always brighten your day? 

Proverbs 15:13
A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.

Ordering On Avon.com And Sending To a Friend

Ordering on my online store is very simple. Please see my VIDEO on how to order by entering a product number or my POST on ordering my product number. It is also fun and easy to be able to order and send to a friend or family member.

Please notice the photo above. You will see my name and "address" in Bill To and my "friends" name and address in Ship To. As long as you billing information matches your credit card information you can change the shipping information. You even have the option to personalize it when sending it as a gift!

I have done this once or twice for family members. It is a fun, simple and great way to share Avon when the people you love!
