Avon Holiday Preview

Posted on October 12, 2011 by Elaine
***Note:  I’m away on vacation so this is a scheduled post! 
I may not be able to respond to comments as quickly as I’d like to!***

One of the benefits of being an Avon representative is getting to preview all the upcoming items.  I usually have insight 2 – 3 campaigns ahead of time.  As it stands I’m also in the category of “top seller” with Avon meaning I’m in a club called “The President’s Club”.  I’ve been lucky enough to be in this category right from my start as an Avon representative.  One perk to being in the PC Club is an annual banquet that is thrown for all the top sellers which includes a lovely 3 course meal and drinks at one of the convention centres in the Great Toronto Area.

We also get an inside look at all the upcoming launches and holiday items.  I’m going to share this year’s event with you!

IMG_4421
Avon Anew Genics has already launched this year (here, here and here!)
(you may have seen the commercial featuring Paulina Porizkova!)

IMG_4423
Holiday NailWear Pro mini nail set
I ordered this one and can’t wait to get it – I hope the gold and the silver can be layered over other colours! Looking forward to trying these out.

IMG_4424
Avon mini eye liners set
I ordered this one too.  I like Avon glimmerstick liners so I figured I can’t go wrong picking this up!

Both the nail polish and eyeliner sets will retail for $9.99 Canadian

IMG_4425
This cute carryall set is from the mark line called “showcase colour & clutch to go” retails for $22 Canadian
It contains 6 lip glosses, 1 all over face colour, 4 eyeshadows and 2 blushes!

IMG_4426
Look how pretty is it as a makeup clutch!

IMG_4427
I’m loving these new nailwear pro shades! Sparkly for the holidays but a little edgy too!

IMG_4428
Really cute cupcake ornaments

IMG_4429
I’ve heard Elephants are good luck!  This ornament is so detailed!
And over to the right – those are gift tags with Avon lipgloss samples!  That’s so cool!

IMG_4430
Pretty royal blue bracelet

IMG_4431
I’m sooo getting this ring!

IMG_4432
This bracelet is from mark and has a magnetic closure.  It also comes in gold. 
Unfortunately it’s too big for me!

IMG_4433
Weird ring from mark – “Disco Domes Ring” retails for $20 Canadian
Comes in Hematite with Golden Rhinestones or Clear Rhinestones (pictured above)

IMG_4434
mark Pave the way bracelet set – 2 for $28 Canadian.  Again too big for me

IMG_4435
Loooove this necklace! What a statement!  The mark “Sparks Fly Necklace” – $40 Canadian

IMG_4437
Blinged out sequined bag

IMG_4419
“Step Into Sexy Set”

IMG_4420
“Step Into Sexy” Fragrance by Christy Turlington

I have been waiting for this ALL YEAR!!!  Christy Turlington is my favorite super model ever – I loved her as a kid and I still admire her now. (What, doesn’t every kid have a favorite super model?)

I couldn’t wait for this fragrance to come out but at the same time I was worried I would hate it.

Guess what, I LOVE it!  It’s not strong (my number one pet peeve with fragrances) and has notes of violet, sensual florals and golden ambers.  I’ve already had many compliments when I’m wearing it!

IMG_4460
Had to show a picture of the amazing mousse dessert (ummm…I ate two of these…for real!)

So that’s it! I hope you enjoyed the preview!  When the items become available online I will try and go back and update with links and prices.

    YES I love that bracelet! Another rep was trying it on so I didn’t get a picture but it’s adjustable so I’m sure that one will fit me! Can’t wait to get it. And I have vintage boutique too – so perfect for fall!

    Congratulations on President’s Club Elaine. Keep up the fantastic work that you are doing with Avon and your blogs. I am loving the “Step into Sexy” perfume too. I’ve been using it everyday since I received it.

    I’ve got a quick question: Can the two new shades of the Nailwear Pro be ordered separately? I really love and want those 2 shades:)

Most people don’t, which leaves their skin vulnerable to sun damage. 🫣

BUT! With formulas like these ones from @sulwhasoo.canada and @shiseido, reapplication is a breeze. You don’t even need to worry about messing up your makeup! 🎉 Just glide or press overtop of your base for an SPF boost that your skin will thank you for. 

Which one would you use? ⬇️

I can’t believe @guster_dog is already 6! 😭❤️❤️

The cake is made of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and carrot. The “frosting” is potato cream mixed with natural colorings. Gluten-free and lactose-free with lots of healthy veggies means Guster can enjoy his special treat and we don’t have to worry about his health. 🥳

The cake is truly a work of art, and - as you can see - Guster definitely approves of the taste! He ate the sculpture of himself so fast that we didn’t even catch it on camera! 🙈

Would you get a cake for your pet?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊
