How To get Your Hair Clean and Silky Smooth With Avon

I recently had the chance to try out few products from the Avon Advance Techniques salon professional hair care collection and I would like to share with you my favorites.

I’m a big fanatic about getting my hair clean, not weighted down, and very soft and silky. And this how I got my hair clean and silky smooth using products from the Avon Advance Techniques collection.

First I clarified my hair with Avon Advance Techniques Purifying Treatment Shampoo from all the build up on my hair from the week, all the swimming, serums and hair sprays.

This shampoo by Avon does just what it promises, cleanse my hair and removes all buildup so my hair can finally breath. It made styling easier for me and added an amazing movement to it. It got rid of that sticky feeling hair, when you hair so weighted down you can’t even comb your hair nicely. I use my regular shampoo daily and incorporate Avon’s clarifying treatment into my hair care regimen once a week or whenever I feel my hair feels weighted down.  

Avon Advance Techniques Purifying Treatment Shampoo is a once a week treatment shampoo designed to remove residue and product build up releasing hair’s natural shine and movement. Here is a styling tip from Jaqui Monteiro, Avon’s Global Stylist Advisor: “If you have color treated hair it’s good to use Purifying Treatment Shampoo after swimming to quickly remove any chlorine, chemicals and/or salt that could cause dulling build-up.”

Patrick Dempsey Unveils his New Fragrance Unscripted with Avon

Avon Products, Inc. announced yesterday the debut of Patrick Dempsey Unscripted, the signature men’s fragrance the company created with award-winning actor Patrick Dempsey.

The unveiling of the fragrance took place at an exclusive cocktail party hosted by Avon Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Andrea Jung at The Skyloft Penthouse in Tribeca. The debut of the fragrance follows the announcement of the multi-year partnership agreement Avon made with the actor in May 2008.

and Hollywood actor Patrick Dempsey.

The fragrance tagline, “Follow Your Passion,” captures the true essence of Patrick and his belief that each individual should develop and write their own script for life. Patrick Dempsey Unscripted will launch in November of 2008 in the U.S., with a global launch following in 2009.

Dempsey played a leading role in the development of Patrick Dempsey Unscripted and was intimately involved with the concept, name, package and olfactive notes. The end result is a true reflection of the man behind the fragrance. The partnership felt like a natural fit to Patrick as his wife, Jillian Dempsey, has worked with Avon as the company’s Global Creative Color Director for the past two years.

“Collaborating with Avon to create Unscripted has been such an exciting journey for me,” says Dempsey. “I enjoyed the opportunity to play a different creative role by working on this fragrance from start to finish. Unscripted is about loving what you do and doing it in your own unique way.”

How To Get That Straight of the Runway Look With AVON

We are going backstage with AVON to learn how to get that “straight off the runway” look, inspired by the Fall 2008 Cynthia Rowley Runway Show:

Hair: The hair created by Avon Global Stylist Advisors Allen Ruiz, Anthony Barrow and Chie Sugwara was inspired by the romance of the Cynthia Rowley Collection. Ruiz and Barrow wanted to keep the girls looking beautiful with very soft romantic hair. The look is matte in texture for movement on the runway, and shiny to keep with the romance of the collection.

The team used Avon Advanced Techniques Volumizing Mousse on damp hair focusing on the roots to create a volume foundation and gave the models’ hair shine throughout. Hair was blow dried using the Advance Techniques Two-Sided Oval Brush. To add texture and volume to the hair the Advance Techniques Extra Hold Hair Spray was used while blow drying and back-combing the hair with the Advanced Techniques Flair Styler Brush. Finally, they applied a mist of Advance Techniques Mirror Shine Spray to create a “halo” effect at the crown adding to the contrasting of textures of smooth crown and texturized full body.

Christian Lacroix Noir offers men everywhere the opportunity to add the sophistication and mystique of Mr. Lacroix’s style to their lives every day, with the simple spray of a fragrance.

“In creating Noir, I wanted to offer men their own fragrance accessory, one that is full of passion and mystery, and will leave both women and men captivated.”-Christian Lacroix.

Christian Lacroix Noir Fragrance

Housed in a square black bottle (one of the signature colors of the house of Lacroix) with rectangular top, Christian Lacroix Noir is a Fougere Woody fragrance that features the following key notes: Top notes: fresh ginger, exotic saffron extract. Heart: cardamon, textured orris. Base notes: vetiver, driftwood, white cedarwood.

The luxurious packaging of Christian Lacroix Noir is distinctive of the house of Lacroix, reflecting a passion for embroidered motifs with the bold use of black. The pattern on the bottle was inspired by an ornate bull fighting cape Mr. Lacroix received as a gift and incorporated into a haute couture dress. He was so moved by the pattern of the cape, he incorporated a similar design on the bottle of his two Avon fragrances.

Cynthia Rowley Fragrances Are In Full Bloom at Avon

Introducing two new designer fragrances Flower and Petal by Cynthia Rowley exclusively at Avon.

The renowned style maker has created two new fashionable floral scents exclusively for Avon, available from April 2008.

Flower by Cynthia Rowley is feminine and flirty, yet sophisticated. Every note was hand-picked by Cynthia herself, creating a bouquet of florals surrounded by warm woods and musks. The notes include: Casablanca Lily, Freesia, Cashmere Woods, Warm Vanilla, Skin Musk, Velvet Woods, and Sandalwood. Price: $30 for 50ml.

Flower Perfume by Cynthia Rowley

“I wanted to capture the essence of our collection and the women we dress in this fragrance,” says Cynthia. “I think we can associate the elements of design-texture, shape, color-with these scents that embody our sensibilities. I like that the fragrance is complex, with so many disparate notes, but has such a simple name-Flower.” -Cynthia Rowley.

Petal by Cynthia Rowley is the bud for the grownup Flower by Cynthia Rowley and captures the innocent, youthful blush of freshly bloomed Lily of the Valley. It is a natural extension of Flower, similar to the inextricable bond between mothers and daughters. Petal is lighter than Flower, with a more carefree sensibility, and was made to be worn by young girls as well as women who are young in heart. Price: $15 for 30ml.

Petal Perfume by Cynthia Rowley

“The scent of my mom’s fragrance, which she would wear on special occasions and spritz on me before going out, is one of my favorite memories from childhood. I wanted to make something that I could share with my daughters-only with their own fragrance notes.”-Cynthia Rowley.
