Last week, I let you pick my pedicure! I previously let you all choose my polishes and the results can be found here. Once all the votes from this round were tallied, the winner was Option C which consisted of Avon’s Gel Finish 7-in-1 Nail Enamel in Dazzle Pink and Avon Metallic Fringe Top Coat in Fringe Effect (line has been discontinued):
Each Monday I gather up the daily QOTD (Quote of the Day) posts I made for the week that are inspirational, motivational or just plain funny.
Monday’s QOTD:
This week I featured daily sale highlights from Avon’s campaign 14 as follows:
Sunday’s Highlight:
Time to stock up! One of my all-time faves, Avon’s True Color Glimmersticks for Eyes, Lips and Brows, is currently on sale by mixing or matching any 3 for $9 (regularly $7 each)! The eyeliner is available in 25 different shades and 3 formulations (Diamonds, Waterproof or Cream). The lip liner is available in 19 different shades and the brow definer is available in 6 different shades. ALL go on smoothly without pulling at your eyes, lips or brows AND are self-sharpening! What more could you want?!
Being a shorty, I tend to stay away from maxi dresses – they are usually cut for someone taller and they make me look even shorter, but Avon’s Mark Goddess Maxi Dress called out to me. I failed to purchase it as a demo due to my default biases against maxi dresses, but couldn’t pass it up on clearance – and here we are! A beautiful weekend day warm enough to wear it!
While the dress is positively gorgeous – I will probably only wear it again if I get it tailored to fit me better. To start, the dress is too long for me, which is why you see it tied up on one side – so I didn’t end up face-planting unexpectedly. I had to wear the belt with it because the weight of the excess material in the skirt under the elastic waistline caused the waist to pull far below the waist – gravity works, folks! The top portion of the dress is also a bit too long on me (thank you to the height challenge that is me) and it didn’t look proper to have the excess material blouse over the belt, so I just tucked it into the belt…but that created its own challenges. Every time I bent over or twisted, the excess material would come out of its hiding place and I was constantly futzing with it. This dress would probably fit someone 5’6″ or taller pretty well, depending on whether or not their trunk v. legs ratio is proportionate. I was blown away that I could cinch up the tie on my right shoulder to fit my bust correctly – and it looked so good! The pattern of the fabric is also really forgiving – always a plus in my book!
For a maxi dress, this one is pretty fancy. It could easily go to an outdoor summer wedding. Heavier gold jewelry pieces are called for all around to balance the belt, which arrived flat, so I bent it to fit my curves. If I’d have had a bit more time to dig around my jewelry collection, I’d have paired a bold gold statement necklace with it rather than the dainty choker I opted for, which is completely overpowered by the wow-ness of the dress. If you’ve ever wanted to look like a Grecian goddess, this dress totally fits the bill!
It’s time for a new pedicure…and I’m going to let you choose the color and finish again! I will be counting up your votes left in the comments on those commenting with their votes on my social media accounts – the most votes will be the winning combo! Here are your options:
