Getting the best makeup look in the heat of the summer

12 Shades

Quite a while ago, I found this article (which was 'repinned' from someone else's board) and pinned it onto my Pinterest board called "Tutorial on Eye Makeup".   I have to say . . .WOW!!  It's one of my top "repinned" pins on my entire Pinterest account which has over 4,000 pins and over 100 boards.  The article is called "How to Get the Best Makeup Look for the Hot Summer Weather".

(Optional Deluxe Kit Addt'l $85.00. See kits below.)

The reason for me to even pin this post was because I am an Avon Representative and was searching what type of make up was good for the summer heat.  The make up that I used up to this point has just melted off my fact within an hour of being in the heat.  Not only that but it feels like it's melting off as it happens.  When I saw this article, I decided to give Avon's Mineral makeup called Smooth Minerals a try.
When I placed my next order, I ordered the Avon Smooth Mineral make up. Guess what?  I LOVE it!!!  From the very first time I put it on, I was sold!!  It didn't feel heavy or like it was melting off my face.  It was AWESOME!!!  

Description:

Medium coverage of a liquid. Feather light feel of a powder. Natural luminous finish. After one week, skin looks healthier and more radiant, with visibly reduced redness, even after you take off your makeup. .20 oz. net wt.

Features/Technology:

Contains 100% naturally derived mineral complex, is free of talk, oil and fragrance.

Customer Profile:

Great for all skin types, even sensitive.

Shades:

Bronze Earth Light Beige Medium Beige Nude Nutmeg Pure Beige Sandy Beige Shell Soft Ivory Spice Transparent Glow

12 Anti-Aging Treatments You Won’t Believe Actually Exist

Bird poop? Say what? 

It’s 2015 — let’s take inventory of all the crazy things that exist in the name of beauty.

JOIN our Shooting Stars Team Today for Only $15.00!!! 

For thousands of years, skin care has been a top beauty priority of women around the world. And even some of today’s anti-aging techniques seem strange or extreme. 

When women were self-conscious of their fine lines in ancient Egypt, the go-to treatment was a milk and honey facial. It might have tasted nice, but it probably didn’t do much to eliminate wrinkles. 1,500 years later, give or take, the ancient Greeks developed a seaweed mask technique th in the Land of the Rising Sun where bird poo facials were all the rage. And a geological approach was taken in the Middle Ages when women would lick an amethyst and rub it on their faces to try to achieve a youthful look. Even as recently as the 20th century, women would wear tin foil masks or go through dangerous radium treatments to firm and plump up their skin.

Today, things are still strange. Baby food facials, bee venom masks, kitty litter facials, leech face-lifts, and oxygen masks are used to fight signs of aging.

Stop the madness! Start ANEW. Those extreme measures of skincare treatment aren’t necessary thanks to ANEW, the complete solution for anti-aging from Avon. Wrinkles, fine lines, uneven complexion, dry skin, and other signs of aging don’t stand a chance.

Your Attitude Can Make a Big Difference

Avon Selling Success - Your Attitude Can Make a Big Difference

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." ~ Sir Winston Churchill

There are many factors that contribute to a successful direct selling business such as Avon. One crucial element is a representative's attitude and where he or she falls on the optimism/pessimism scale. Of course, most of us know that it is not always easy to be optimistic all of the time but putting it into practice can truly make a difference in your business as well as other aspects of your life. They say optimistic people tend to be healthier people in general. I believe it's worth the effort to change those negative thoughts for that reason alone. Following are some examples of how an optimist and pessimist Avon seller may handle certain situations. For each example, ask yourself "Which one do I tend to be?"

Sell the Sizzle - Not the Steak

Sell the Sizzle - not the Steak!

I’m sure you’ve heard this saying. People don’t just buy product. They buy the benefits that fulfill their needs, which are derived from the products.

In today's market, your potential prospects have one thing in mind. "What's in it for them", and in our sales business, you must realize this. While the "nuts and bolts" of our product or offer are important, that is not normally what gets someone's initial interest and makes the sale.

If you are in the market for a raincoat, what is the primary thing you want? While the fact that it is double stitched and made out of high-grade material is great, what you really want is to keep dry when it rains.

The best sales people in the world understand human nature almost intuitively. Think of how much more you can sell if you see their needs or wants from the Customer’s perspective and not from yours. You must sell your product because that’s your business. They will only buy if it satisfies THEIR needs. So, once you ask open-ended questions and find out what your customer’s real needs and wants are, you can adapt your sales approach to fit exactly what they want to buy.

If you are to succeed, you have to figure out what other people are looking for. While they are really looking for a "steak", it will be the "sizzle" that will sell them.

10 Tips for Balancing Work & Motherhood

10 Tips for Balancing Work and Motherhood

I found this article that may help you balance work and motherhood . . . especially if you are a WAHM.

There's no magic formula for making sure you have enough time for both, but these 10 smart tactics can help.   By Lisa Druxman

Although there's no secret recipe to balancing work and motherhood, there are thousands of women out there who have learned to do it successfully, women who've taken on this challenge before us and have come out on top.

I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to interview many, many entrepreneurial moms. And without fail, at some point during our conversation, they all say the same thing: "When I'm working, I feel like I should be with my kids. But when I'm with my kids, I feel like I should be working." But that guilt doesn't stop us from striving for success in both work and as a mother--we want to be able to do them both and do them both well. And if you ask any mom entrepreneur, they'll probably tell you what they're doing now is the most rewarding thing they've ever done. It's certainly not easy, but it's worth it.

I know for a fact that any one solution won't work for everyone. But I've found some common themes among the successful working moms that I know, and here are their 10 tips for being both a terrific mom and business owner.

How do you Create Repeat Customer Sales?

As you know, we have regular earnings products and fixed earning products (that have the little 4 diamond pattern before the description). So HOW do we create repeat customer sales?

Let’s say a customer purchases a watch. The watch is a fixed earnings product and not a product they are going to consume (use up) in a month and want to replenish 4-6 times a year. However it is a sale we certainly wouldn’t turn down. Fixed earnings products don’t maximize your sales and earnings.

Therefore, if the focus of your business sales are on our core Beauty products (regular earnings), MAKEUP, SKIN CARE, JEWELRY, FRAGRANCE, BATH & BODY, HAIR CARE & FOOT CARE, and find the products that fit the customers needs, you will “create repeat sales”.

Skin Care is a perfect example. Using your Skin Care Conversational Card, you ask your customer the 5 questions to determine which Anew line will give them the most benefit. Let’s say the first customer you use the questionnaire with has more answers in the Anew Ultimate line than any other. That means the Ultimate line has the solutions to her concerns or problems. If she’s using the right solution to her concerns, she’ll be a happy customer and with follow-up by you she will purchase more of the same products as she uses them. A very simple concept. Each customer replenishes her skin care line approximately 6 times a year.

 

Let’s look at a customer replacing her skin care regimen 6 X a year, & see your sales & earnings on those products at regular prices.

Create a Schedule and Stick to it

Top Avon Representatives will tell you that they work when they want to, and fill their work calendar around their life calendar. One calendar with everything on it, that you can carry with you at all times. This is a critical component for any successful Representative. You need to know WHEN you want to (and are able) to work. Mark it on your calendar. By scheduling and utilizing time that is set aside to work, you'll be way ahead.

When you know your next two or three available work dates at a moment's notice, people take you and your business more seriously.

Schedule time on your calendar to practice your demo, take a course or two on Avon’s Beauty of Knowledge training site, download a DSWA tele-class to your mp3, read up on product knowledge or network. Do SOMETHING to G-r-o-w your business.

Your Path to Creating Success

My question to you is…

"What are You going to do TODAY to grow your business & create income? "

The internet is a wonderful source of information and millions of people that could be your customer.

Make Good Money with Avon by . . .

Increasing Your Sales, Setting Goals and Planning.

by Theresa Austin Paul on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 at 10:44pm

How much would you like to make each campaign? We all would love an extra $100-$300-$500 or so every 2 weeks right? Can you go get another job? Leave the kids? Hire a sitter? Is your boss going to give you that raise? well then...

GIVE YOURSELF A RAISE!!

Does $300 a month sound good to start? How can you do that with AVON? Break it down. That's $150 every 2 weeks. You can earn $150 a campaign easy!!!

Sell $425 at 40% earnings and you can profit up to $170. This varies of course because of fixed earnings items, and business tools, But you CAN profit $150 and more every 2 weeks.

Now, you're asking "How will I sell $425-$500 a campaign?"
