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:)

Come with me to pick up the art piece created from Come with me to pick up the art piece created from the flowers in my bridal bouquet! 🥹❤️

Getting my flowers preserved and turned into this incredible piece was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning. ✨

Amanda and her team are extraordinary artists (and wonderful humans!) who give your flowers a new life and preserve memories. Every time I walk past this piece on my wall, my heart glows with flashbacks of my wedding day. 

If you have an important event that includes flowers, do yourself a favor and book with Parched to get them preserved. They accept flowers from across Canada, and have worked on blooms marking all occasions of life, from graduations, baby showers, weddings, and memorials. They can even create pendants using flower remnants!

If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or met me in person for like 5 mins!), you’ve heard about my love for @lezethelabel 🤩

This brand is phenomenal. I love every piece of theirs that I own and wear a Lezé item almost every day. 

@lezethelabel is:

✅ WOC founded 
✅ Canadian
✅ Ethically produced 
✅ Sustainably made using innovative fabrics (like 🌽 or material made from recycled fishing nets!) 
✅ THE COMFIEST 
✅ Designed for real bodies! (Big pockets, lots of stretch, extended sizing)

The humans in charge are also incredibly kind and generous. ❤️

➡️ Since it can be hard to figure out sizing when purchasing online, I put together this little lookbook for you. Basically, I wear a L in their items made from their recycled fishing net fabric, but an XL in the corn, since they’re a little closer to the body and I like a baggier fit in that fabric. I typically wear a size 14. 

If you’re interested, check them out! And feel free to use my discount code (TORONTOBEAUTYREVIEWS15) for 15% off! 🔗 in bio. 😊

Dark circles? I don’t know her. 🙃 If you’r Dark circles? I don’t know her. 🙃

If you’re in the market for a new eye cream, I highly recommend checking out @sahajanskincare’s Golden Glow Eye Balm. ✨ It’s formulated with ghee (!) and feels sooooo silky and gorgeous. This powerhouse ingredient has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine, and for good reason! This eye balm is mega hydrating but feels light and melts right into your skin 🤩 

In addition to ghee, it also includes rose oil and eyebright - these high-performance ingredients work together to reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles. 

This Canadian brand is WOC-founded, and products are cruelty-free as well as eco-friendly. 🇨🇦🐇🌍

Have you tried @sahajanskincare yet?

I loved my long hair, but I was ready for a change I loved my long hair, but I was ready for a change. 💇‍♀️ @leeoc_hair at @thecellarsalon is the only person I would trust when chopping off this much! (I think it was around 10”!) If you’re looking for a hairstylist who is knowledgeable, talented, and the absolute sweetest, give her a call! ❤️

This bob is going to take some getting used to after my messy mane of long hair, but I already feel sooooo much lighter ✨

What do you think of the new look? 🙃👩🏻‍🦰

If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning frea If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning freak. 🙈🧼But, since I’m allergic to everything (fragrance, harsh chemicals, etc 😖) and also care about the environment, I try to find options that are natural as well as effective. 🌍🫧 That way, they’re gentle on my skin and the world, but tough on germs and dirt!

We’ve been using @nelliesclean dish sticks, stain stick, laundry soda for the past few months and LOVING them. ❤️ I even purchased Nellie’s Oxygen brightener recently, which is a bleach alternative that boosts color and keeps whites white. They WORK. (And look very retro chic!)

If you’re looking for effective, naturally-derived cleaning products from a Canadian company, I highly recommend that you check out @nelliesclean! 🇨🇦
