Beauty Tips and Tricks
3 Simple Steps to Take Your Makeup from Everyday to Holiday
For days when you don’t have time to re-do your makeup before going out, try these easy tricks to add just the right touch of holiday drama:
1 – Apply shimmer to your lips, nails or both! Nothing glams up your look quite like a touch of shimmer. Whether it’s on lips or nails, it’s a holiday must:
Our picks: Ultra Color Rich Rubies Lipstick in Radiant Ruby and Glitter Nail Enamel in Sparkling Plum.
2 – Play up your eyes with liner. If you go light on liner during the day, evening is the time to ramp it up. Define both upper and lower lashline, and use a shade that complements your eyes.
Try: Glimmersticks Eye Liners in a fun shade you wouldn’t normally wear during the day!
3 – Add a fresh coat of mascara. It’s that easy! One extra coat takes lashes from nice to WOW!
Try: Super Drama Mascara.
Mascara Tips & Tricks You Need to Know!
When it comes to making the most of your lashes, we’ve got 5 clever tips that can make all the difference:
Tip # 1 Wiggle your way to fuller looking lashes
When applying mascara, 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.
Tip#2 No more clumps!
To 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.
Tip# 4 Prevent smudges
Sometimes the eye creams and moisturizers we use can cause mascara to smudge. Prevent this by lightly powdering your lid and 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!
Ready to try out these tips for yourself? Then give new Super Drama Mascara a try. Its unique fan brush and formula make every lash fuller, longer and more dramatic. Plus, it’s smudge and flake resistant too.

BEAUTY TIPS FOR LIPS
Liptricks Use lip pencils, gloss and concealer to transform lips. 1. TO MAKE COLOR LAST LONGER Apply lip liner to entire lip area, use a lip brush to gently blend any hard lines around the edges and then apply a gloss or a lipstick. 2. TO TRANSFORM A LIPSTICK SHADE Use a lip pencil as a base for lipstick to make it look browner, deeper or redder, depending on the shade of the pencil. For a shinier finish, use lipstick as a base for gloss. 3. TO MAKE LIPS LOOK FULLER Apply a highlighter slightly above the natural contour of the Cupid's bow. Apply desired shade of lipcolor. Using a lip liner in a shade that matches lipcolor, follow the outer dimensions of the lips and trace around the lip line. Dab gloss on the center of lower lip. 4. TO MAKE LIPS LOOK THINNER Blend foundation or concealer lightly over the edges of your lips. Dust translucent powder over the area. Using a nude lip liner, outline lips within the natural lip line. Fill lips with a pale shade of lipstick. |
BEAUTY TIPS FOR EYES
Optical Illusions Play with light and dark shades of eyeshadow to enhance the size of eyes or to bring eyes further or closer apart. 1. BRING WIDE-SET EYES CLOSER TOGETHER Apply darker colors at the inner half of your lids, closest to the nose. 2. MAKE CLOSE-SET EYES APPEAR WIDER APART Highlight inner corners with a light flesh-tone liner and shimmery pearl shadow. 3. MAKE SMALL EYES LOOK BIGGER Line lower lids with a nude or very light color liner to make the whites of your eyes brighter. 4. MAKE EYES REALLY POP Add a pale iridescent shadow in the center of lids and line lower inner lids with a white liner. |
Face Shaping: You can use foundation or pressed powder to accentuate your best features and minimize the others. All you need are 3 different shades: Base – a shade that matches your skin exactly.Highlight – a shade lighter. Contour – a shade darker. The Highlight shade brings features forward. The Contour shade makes them recede. | |
NARROW YOUR NOSE Highlight down the center of your nose to the width that you want to appear, then place contour on either side of the nose. Blend well. SOFTEN A HEAVY JAW LINE Shade around square jawline to make that area recede and create a more oval shape. Blend borders with a base shade. GET HIGH CHEEKBONES Shade round cheeks to make them recede, then highlight top of cheekbones to make them more prominent and lifted like those of a model. Blend base to borders…beautiful! |

Avon stock can surge 30% in the next year
Earlier this month, shareholders of Avon Products received a surprise when Andrea Jung stepped down from her post as chairwoman. Jung, who had served as CEO since 1999 until late last year, had been expected to serve out the position for two years.
Investors cheered the news, sending the shares up 7% to $17.39 on Oct. 5. The stock has since edged lower to $17.14.
Over the last few years, Avon has struggled under Jung's leadership. Supply chain issues, a bloated cost structure, lack of innovation, lost market share, and a bribery probe in China have plagued the firm.
At a Glance
Avon Products (AVP)
Price: | $17.14 |
52-Week Range: | $23.94 - $14.45 |
Market Value: | $7.4 billion |
Est 2012 Revenue: | $10.7 billion |
Est 2012 Net Income: | $357 million |
Est 2012 EPS: | $0.81 |
Est 2013 EPS: | $0.99 |
Est 2013 PE: | 17 |
Dividend Yield: | 5.4% |
Source: Thomson Reuters
The stock has sunk 50% since its 2010 high.
Jung's replacements are very capable managers. The new CEO, Sherilyn McCoy, was one of two contenders for the CEO job at Johnson & Johnson. The new chairman, Fred Hassan, is a turnaround expert and a deal maker. He was CEO of Schering-Plough when it sold to Merck in 2009 for $41 billion.
This new management team seems committed to turning around the company. Over the next year, the shares could gain 30% to $22, as a result of the team's efforts.
Avon is the fifth-largest beauty and personal-care products company in the world. The company sells color cosmetics and skin-care products, as well as jewelry, watches and footwear. Avon is famous for directly selling its products through a large global network of representatives.
Despite its problems, Avon is not a broken business. The company makes 70% of its sales, and 80% of its profit, from fast-growing emerging markets like in Latin America and Eastern Europe. The company also has dominant market share in cosmetics and skin care in several countries in those regions, and will benefit from strong secular growth for beauty products.
This year, Avon is expected to earn $357 million, or 81 cents a share, on revenue of $10.7 billion. In 2013, analysts see earnings of 99 cents a share, on slightly higher revenue.
On the Aug. 1 conference call, CEO McCoy singled out the company's cost structure as one area that the company will focus on improving. That alone could go a long way toward lifting earnings.
Operating margins are expected to be 6.6% for the full year, well below 12.5% in 2008, and well below peers'. Bill Schmitz, who covers Avon for Deutsche Bank, notes that direct selling peers have margins of 14.7% on average. Much of that could be attributed to the company's bloated cost structure. In a separate report, Schmitz notes that the company's SG&A (selling, general and administrative expenses) is 26.8% of sales, compared to peers' at 17.7%.
McCoy will also focus her efforts on top-line growth, improved cash generation, and using technology to make the organization more efficient. While no specific plan has been laid out, management will likely announce one in the next few months.
An announcement could bring a cut to the company's dividend, now a payout of $400 million a year, or 92 cents a share. That's a 5.4% yield. On the same conference call, McCoy said that their "intention would be to bring Avon's dividend more in line with our overall performance and our peer group." Such a cut could reduce the dividend yield to 2.9%, saving the company $200 million a year. While a cut could hurt the stock initially, it's likely to be short-lived, as most investors expect it.
The shares could get a boost if the company were to settle its Foreign Corrupt Practices litigation, which dates back to a 2008 inquiry into whether Avon officials offered bribes to Chinese officials. The company spent $93 million in 2011 alone, relating to the inquiry. Progress is being made. The company disclosed in the last quarterly filing that it is currently in discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice to settle.
While Avon's stock may look expensive on current earnings, it's important to note that those earnings are depressed. As the turnaround takes hold, earnings could rise to where they stood a few years ago. In 2008, the company earned $2.04 a share. While that may take a few years, the potential for the stock could be significant. At a 15 times multiple on earnings, the shares would be worth $30.
