What's your favorite winter fragrance? This season, we challenge you to experiment with a new scent, perhaps one that provides a spicy floral scent or a warm fragrance with citrus and charm.
Here are some of our favorites...


Gucci Flora
This subtle, sophisticated and sexy floral scent will keep you warm during the frigid winter nights! The scent, inspired by the Flora Donna, is perfect for any Gucci girl or elegant woman of the house. The fragrance is composed of top notes including citrus and peony. The heart is made up of rose and osmanthus flower, and the base is a rich recipe of pink pepper and sandalwood. After just one spritz, you won't be able to stop yourself from smelling your sensual and sexy scented skin. This is the winter scent that I just can't live without!


In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon
Wish you had the stunning good looks and charm of starlet Reese Witherspoon? Now, you can enjoy her new floral oriental woodsy scent just before the snow hits! This delicate fragrance, created by Reese and the expert perfumers at Avon, opens with Georgia peach, tea leaves and crisp greens. The heart of the scent is a mixture of star gardenia, magnolia and jasmine. The scent closes with cashmere woods, hypnotic florals and amber wood crystals. It's a fragrance that gives off provocative, feminine notes and leaves the skin with just the right amount of sexy, sensual scent!


Marc Jacobs Lola
Marc Jacobs is an infamous character on the fashion, beauty and red carpet scene; he always leaves his mark! His new fragrance Lola also does just that!  This warm, floral bouquet is a free spirited scent for today's modern girl. The fragrance is playful, flirtatious and alluring. Love it! The scent opens with pink peppercorn, pear, and ruby red grapefruit. The heart shines with rose, fushia peony and geranium, while Lola closes with lovely layers of vanilla, warm tonka bean and creamy musk to keep the fragrance oh-so-sensuous!

Ballerina Beautiful by Avon at the Charlotte Ronson New York Fashion Week Show

By TheGlamtastic · September 15, 2009 · 0 Comments ·
The tents were buzzing with excitement while Avon's lead stylist Allen Ruiz created hair looks for the Charlotte Ronson Spring 2010 show at Mercredes-Benz Fashion Week. 

The inspiration for the look? The hair was created to look like these models had just stepped out of a dance class at Julliard and were scampering across the city from one New York hot spot to the next. The look reflects the designer's Spring Collection, which was classic 80's style with hints of delicate femininity. 

To get the look at home:

Step 1: Prep hair from root to tip with Advanced Techniques Salon Volume Finishing Spray, which will enhance natural shine and create additional volume.

Step 2: Use a paddle brush and hair dryer, along with Advanced Techniques Salon Volume Finishing Spray. Spray and dry hair section by section to create a soft and smooth texture. 

Step 3: As a next step, gather the hair tightly to form a ponytail at the crown of the head. 

Step 4: Grasp the hair at the base of the ponytail and twist hair firmly in one direction to form a kink into a spiral. Secure the look with bobby pins. 

Step 5: Allow wispys to play up the natural texture.

Step 6: Spray the look with hair spray to complete and secure the style. 

Is this a look you love or one you'll leave on the runway?

Beauty News: Reese Witherspoon Launches In Bloom

By TheGlamtastic · June 15, 2009 · 0 Comments ·
Big Beauty News - Reese Witherspoon has partnered with Avon for the launch of her very first fragrance, In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon.

The fragrance is said to be an invitation to experience the sensual side of a woman, combining delicate femininity with a seductive allure.

Her inspiration? 

"In developing In Bloom, I found myself drawn to the scents of my childhood in Tennessee. We had a great big Magnolia tree in the back yard, and it's the beautiful white blossom that inspired the perfume," Reese says.  

The fragrance will be available in November and comes in eau de parfum, body mist, body lotion and shower gel.

According to Isabel Ryan, Director, Avon Creative Fragrance Development, "Reese was the perfect partner on the fragrance - she was fully involved in the whole process from the development of the juice and packaging to the fragrance name. I logged many miles between NY and LA to work with her and make sure the end result was a true reflection of Reese's style." 

I can't wait to try it!
