Reese Witherspoon caught our eye in the ads for Avon's new Pro-to-Go lipstick. We thought, that's nice but a bit surprising to see someone so A-list shilling for Avon. Still, a single mom's gotta do what she's gotta do, right?
Then we noticed the incredibly nifty lipstick applicator and all thoughts of Reese flew out of our head. It's designed so that you can flick it open, apply, and flick it closed with just one hand. So cool!
True, we like anything new. But we think Avon might be on to something. This applicator will either reduce the number of make-up-application-in-the-rear-view-mirror accidents, or double them. And it might actually get us to remember to reapply after a meal. Now that would be a miracle.
Avon's been working hard to update their line, including collaborating with Jillian Fink (aka Mrs. Patrick Dempsey/Dr. McDreamy) the founder of Delux Beauty, and maker of our favorite black pencil liner of all time. We were devastated when Delux shut down, so we've been watching the Avon partnership closely. They have a new eyeliner coming out soon - for the amazing introductory price of $3.99! -- that we are dying to try!
Yes, we're taking a closer look at Avon. Who knows? One of these days we might just throw an Avon party. All our friend will be invited!
