Patrick Dempsey in New Perfume Deal with Avon

Award-winning actor Patrick Dempsey has teamed up with Avon to create a signature men’s perfume set to debut in Novemebr 2008.

Avon announced yesterday that it has signed Dempsey in the multi-year pact in what would be the star’s first ever foray into the fragrance industry. Sources say that he could be guaranteed $5 million to $6 million over three years for the campaign which will go global next year.

Dempsey will be creative director of the project, while his wife makeup artist Jillian Dempsey, has been Avon’s global creative color director since 2006.

“This will be arguably the strongest franchise in the company’s history,” said Andrea Jung, chairman and CEO of Avon. “”We’re extremely impressed with both his on and off screen accomplishments, and have a shared commitment to giving back to communities in ways both big and small.

We applaud his efforts earlier this month to open the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing in Maine, and look forward to exploring future collaboration opportunities with our Avon Foundation.”

“This is an extremely exciting opportunity for me to work with Avon — a brand I have long respected as a global powerhouse with a lot of heart and soul,” said Dempsey.

Dempsey, 41, has won the Screen Actors Guild Award 2007 and People’s Choice Award 2007 for his role as Dr. Shepherd on the ABC TV serial, Grey’s Anatomy. Come May 2, we will see him on the big screen in the romantic comedy Made of Honor.

Avon is the world’s largest direct seller with outlets in more than 100 countries and has a $10 billion annual revenue. Besides perfumes, its product range includes cosmetics, fashion jewelry and apparel.

Lisa Snowdon for Avon’s New Curves...

Supermodel Lisa Snowdon, “Britain’s Next Top Model” presenter, is the new face and body of Avon’s new lingerie range.

The 36-year-old TV presenter and singer, also titled “the British Tyra Banks”, displayed her knockout figure in a series of campaigns for Avon’s new larger bra cup size lingerie. She also attrated attention as the girlfriend of Hollywood actor George Clooney.

“When flicking through the lingerie racks in department stores, I find the prettier, delicate bras stop at a D cup!” said Snowdon. “This can be very frustrating for us bigger busted women.”

Snowdon has graced the covers of some top-end fashion magazines such as Vogue, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan and Elle. She has also been the face of Neutrogena recently.

'Bond Girl 007' Fragrance

British actress Gemma Arteron, who plays Agent Fields in the Bond 22 movie “Quantum of Solace”, has been chosen by Avon to launch the new James Bond Franchise signature fragrance ‘Bond Girl 007′.

Anticipated as what will be the biggest global fragrance launch of the year, Bond Girl 007 is created by Firmenich and contains floral notes, warm woods, white peach, orange blossom,jasmine, calypso orchid and freesia.

While “Quantum of Solace” is scheduled for a November 2008, ‘Bond Girl 007′ is thoughtfully set up to hit the retailers a month earlier.

So what does the new 22-year-old Bond babe have to say about this signature perfume?

“I’m thrilled to be working with two such iconic and established brands,” said Gemma Arterton. “The Bond Girl 007 fragrance embodies everything a Bond Girl represents — intelligence, sexiness and confidence.”

Intelligence, sexiness and confidence, huh. Explosive combo there.

Okay, here’s what I think about the name of the perfume. Bond Girl 007. So which kind of girl–or woman–are Avon targeting? I’d eat airline food to find out what they found in their survey.

Would the typical customer would be the wanna-be Bond girl yet in her teens or the blissfully married 30’s woman, who’s looking back and wondering what she might have missed out?

What do you think? I’d love to know, so would all my readers.

The Fastest Way to Smooth Away Pillow Creases on Your Face...

Splash warm water on your skin, then massage in a moisturizer. Skin cells contain fluid that acts as a cushion to keep the skin plump. When you’re lying with your face smushed into a pillow for eight hours, that fluid seeps out of cells and is absorbed by your body. “This leads to creases,” says Lydia Evans, a dermatologist in Chappaqua, New York. Once you get out of bed, skin cells will gradually plump up with fluid. The warm water speeds this along by enhancing blood flow to the area, and moisturizer rehydrates it. Massaging the moisturizer in helps to smooth creases away manually.

Quick Tip:

Sleep on a smooth-fitting satin pillowcase instead of a cotton one. Satin won’t bunch up under your skin, so you may be spared morning creases. (It will not, however, eliminate long-term wrinkles.)

The Fastest Way to Dry Hair...

Blow-dry from underneath, starting with the underlayers. “If you start drying your hair with the top layer, you end up scooping up wet hair from underneath and pulling it through the brush, rewetting the layers that are already dry” says Inez Gray, owner of the Habitude Salon and Spa. First apply mousse, which will coat the hair shafts and prevent them from absorbing more water. Then flip your head over, or clip the top up, and aim the dryer at the bottom layers first. Once the bottom layers are dry, use a brush to help dry and smooth the top layers. This technique will cut drying time by about a third.

Quick Tip:

Don’t blow-dry sopping-wet hair — you’ll need to use high heat, which will lead to damage. Blot with a microfiber or terry towel first.

Quick Tip:

To make your blow-dry even speedier, choose a dryer with at least 1,800 watts. A high-powered dryer gets the job done in less time than a lower-wattage one.

The Fastest Way to Grow Out a Bad Haircut...

Sadly, there’s no fast way to grow out a bad haircut. That said, there are things you can do to minimize the nightmare until your hair grows back (which it does at a rate of about half an inch a month). First try washing and restyling your hair yourself, since the way a stylist does your hair can make it look worse than it really is, says Eric Fisher, owner of the Eric Fisher Salon, in Wichita, Kansas. Then rely on accessories to help you through the growing-out phase. A headband or a barrette can hold back too-short bangs, and a ponytail or a loose bun can camouflage too-flippy layers.

Quick tip:

If you’re really unhappy with a cut, voice your dissatisfaction to the salon manager that day. Ask for a different stylist, who can help reshape the cut. Most managers will be happy to oblige.

The Fastest Way to Repair a Torn Nail...

Patch it with a tea bag!

Nails can tear for many reasons:

They’re weak; they’re soft; they’ve been soaking in water for too long, which softens them further. Whatever the cause, cut a tiny piece of paper from a tea bag (it should be big enough to cover the entire tear), apply a bead of nail glue to the paper (Krazy Glue works in a pinch), then press it on top of the tear, says Essie Weingarten, founder of Essie Cosmetics. Allow the glue to dry, then gently file the top of the paper so that it is smooth and flush with the nail. Finish with a layer of base coat, two coats of nail polish, and a topcoat.

Quick Tip:

Wear rubber gloves when washing dishes or using cleaning products. Water and chemicals can weaken nails and make them more likely to tear.

The Fastest Way to Depuff Eyes...

“Wrap a bag of frozen vegetables in a thin towel and place it over your eyes for 10 minutes,” says Debra Luftman, a cosmetic dermatologist. A night of sipping Champagne or eating salty foods can lead to fluid retention around the eyes. The cold of the bag stimulates circulation under the eyes, which helps bring down that fluid. (Why a bag of vegetables? Because it conforms to the contours of the face. Peas or corn works best.) A soft washcloth soaked in cool chamomile tea will also do the trick, since chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties.

Quick Tip #1:

If you know you’ll be drinking alcohol or eating salty foods, be sure to drink lots of water. You’ll be less likely to puff out the next morning.

Quick Tip #2:

To help prevent puffy eyes, prop up your head on two pillows when you go to sleep. Gravity is your friend when it comes to fluid retention.

The Fastest Way to Minimize a Facial Flush...

Place a cool, wet towel on the back of your neck. “When your face flushes during exercise, it’s a normal physiological response to your body overheating,” says Lydia Evans, a dermatologist in Chappaqua, New York. “Your blood vessels dilate and increase blood flow to the surface of the skin to cool it, which gives it that red appearance.” A cold towel on the back of the neck constricts those blood vessels, numbs the nerve endings there, and helps lower your body temperature quickly, says Debra Luftman, a cosmetic dermatologist in Beverly Hills. Splashing cold water on your face will have the same effect.

Quick tip:

Carry a spray bottle filled with cold water to the gym. When you feel your face getting warm, spritz it with water. This will help keep the redness to a minimum.

The Fastest Way to Dry Nail Polish

Dunk your hands in a bowl of ice-cold water. “The cold water freeze-dries polish, sealing and hardening it quickly,” says Belinda Rivera, a nail specialist in Austin, Texas. Allow nails to air-dry for two minutes, then submerge in ice-cold water for three minutes, which is enough time for the polish to harden completely. Another option: Blast nails with cool air from a hair dryer in between coats. This helps each layer of color dry as you go.

Quick Tip:

Old nail polish can take forever to dry, since time can turn polish gooey and thick. Toss bottles when the polish begins to change color or separate. At that point, the lacquer has probably thickened and become unusable.

Applying Eye Shadow For Day and Night

Pencil Eyeliner
Eyeliner sponge application or small cosmetic brush
Light colored eye shadow
Dark colored eye shadow
Eyeshadow brush
Mascara – black

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Apply the eyeliner to the top lid at the base of your eyelashes. I have found the inner eye to outer eye motion the easiest and most accurate.

Lightly apply the liner to the bottom lid at the base of the eyelashes. Do not let this line be heavier than the top line.

Use a sponge applicator or small cosmetic brush to soften (smudge) the liner on the top and bottom lid.

Sweep the light color shadow across the lid and brow bone.

Apply the darker shadow in the crease of the eye lid. Blend the dark shadow with the lighter shadow at outer corner of the lid.

Apply mascara. (optional, curl your lashes before applying)

For the day time, I try to use natural colors: brown eyeliner, cream colored shadow with dark brown.

For the evening time, I grab my black eyeliner, white/off-white shadow for my light shade and my black/gunmetal for the dark shade with a hint of shimmer.
