Summer is Finally Here!

Hi Everyone,
So far I've been getting a lot of good feed back on my new blog! A few people asked "I really like your blog but I don't have a Gmail Account or a Facebook Account in order to like your page so how exactly can I support you?". My answer is simple, if you like it pass the blog address around by email to friends you think might enjoy it and that in itself is very supportive. Also leave comments so I know what you guys do and don't like (you don't need to have a Gmail or Facebook account to do this!).
Before I go into showing you ladies some of my favorite products from C15 I wanted to talk a little bit of cause that you all know is near and dear to my heart and that is fundraiser for Breast Cancer. Avon has started this brillant new campaign called Avon's Every Penny Counts. Avon's Foundation for Women is teaming up with  ScotiaBank to collect 125 millon pennies to benefit Willow Breast Cancer Support Canada. It's really simple collect your pennies that are just lying around the house (or mine in the office) go to any ScotiaBank to get the pink penny rolls or log onto their website and print the rolls right off the computer. Roll your pennies and drop them off at any ScotiaBank branch to make your donation! Below I have included the YouTube video from Avon and below is the link for more information about Avon Every Penny Counts!

I'm currently enjoying a well deserved Stay-cation and so as you can imagine I have Summer on the brain and it seems it transferred to when I was writing my C15 Blog!

FOOT WORKS ANTI-BLISTER STICK

252-507

INTRO PRICE $ 4.99

Well Ladies Summer is upon us and so are all the great sandals, heels and all types of shoes we torture our feet with. The Anti-Rub Blister Stick is the answer to every women's prayers whether you're breaking in a hot new pair of stilettos or participating in a marathon and wanting to prevent the rubbing from your running shoes. Simply rub the Blister Stick where your shoes would rub and cause blisters and it creates an invisible barrier that prevents blistering and rubbing! 

SKIN SO SOFT BATH OIL

293-281

$12.99 (Reg $19.99)

Skin So Soft Bath Oil is an Avon staple and has been for years. What you may not know is that people have found a 100 uses for this product including use #8 Insect Repellent. I was first introduced to the many uses of SSS Bath Oil by a fellow customer who was looking to buy it to wash her plastic shower curtain. I initially thought I misunderstood but then I do what I do best... I Googled it and discovered that it actually has 100 uses. Because I don't want to make this blog entry a mile long  I will create a page attached to the menu bar up top that lists all it's great uses.

ANEW SUNSCREEN 

A Sunscreen Designed to Reduce Visible Signs of Aging

257-780 Sunscreen Face Lotion SPF 45 $29.00 (Reg $39.00)

257-818 Sunscreen Body Lotion SPF 30 $29.00 (Reg $39.00)

262-274 Suncreen Body Mist Lotion SPF 28 $29 (Reg $39.00)

I'm all about the sunscreen and to hear that there's a sunscreen that can reduce signs of aging and proctect me from the sun I'm all for it. It offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB, it's lightweight and oil free (which for me is important for the face as I don't want to breakout!) and also water-resistant so you can enjoy those beach days. I personally haven't tried these products but when the it has Avon Anew attached to the product you can expect the highest quality.

Of course this is just a sampling of some of the great products available in C15 so go ahead and check out the brochures under the brochure page or click on the link below and remember ENJOY!

Avon C15 Brochure

Mexican Delights

.

Tortilla Warmer pg 139

052-779

Tortilla Shell Baking Bowls pg 139

052-784

So my Avon Order came like clock work Thursday evening and it was like Christmas all over again. I love looking at my What's New magazine to see what's coming in future brochures and ordering my demos. This order I preordered the Tortilla Warmer and Tortilla Shell Baking Bowls for my Mom. She recently got a tortilla press to make her own homemade tortillas so I thought these two items would compliment her future Mexican Fiestas! First off, they were a hit with my Mom and now we both can't wait to use them! The Tortilla Warmer was absolutely beautiful, heavy and well made and only costs $19.99 in the C14 Brochure. We also found out this can also be used for heating and serving Pancakes and flat breads which proves we really did get a good deal.  As for the Baking Bowls you get 2 for $14.99 and they come with easy to follow directions. I will keep you posted after we actually get to try them out

True Color Eyeshadow Quad pg 46-7 $9.99

On the recommendation of one of my customers I went and ahead and ordered one of Avon's True Color Eyeshadow Quads and I wasn't disappointed. Anybody who knows me well knows that my eyes are my favorite feature to play up. Often you can see me wearing anywhere from bold shades of teal to a subtle gold shimmer with lots of black mascara. I'm pretty Plain Jane with rest of my make up but I'm always experimenting with my eyes. To me the best or highest quality eyeshadows are the ones that have lots of pigment and that don't require putting 20 layers on before you can see a hint of color. Avon's Quads meet my criteria but what's even better is the price... Cheap even at full price! For $9.99 you get four complimentary colors in 1 quad compact. You need very little eyeshadow to get a very dramatic look and what more exciting is there is two new bold Quads on the way in C15 so stay tuned!

Here We Go!

Hi Everyone!

So my goal for this page is to keep you up to date on all things Avon. I will try and post at least every two weeks with Order due dates, links to my online brochures, my favorite products, makeup tips and specials from not only Avon but also from me that are exclusive when you place an order with me.

Avon Brochure C14

CAMPAIGN 14 DUE DATE: JUNE 24, 2011 10:00 PM

Favorite Products:

GOT TO GLOW gradual body moisturizer pg 23 of Mark Magalog   $20

061-509 Light-Medium

061-514 Medium - Dark

I bought a demo of this product a couple of weeks ago and I have to say I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!! All my life people have known me as the ghostly white girl and often I'm asked if I'm feeling alright just because I'm that pale. As a breast cancer survivor sitting out on the deck tanning or going to the local tanning salon are not feasible options for me as they are cancer causing agents. I got cancer once and I don't plan on getting it again. I have tried various self tanners throughout the years and this one is my favorite. No streaks for the first time ever and it even has an SPF of 15 to protect me from the real sun! The product states to apply daily as a body moisturizer and watch your skin darken but I have changed this slightly. First I exfoliate just with some body wash and a poof in the shower as this is an important step because if you have dry patches of skin it will show with the GOT TO GLOW and you will look blotchy. I only apply the lotion every second day as I was getting too dark too fast doing it everyday. This also makes the bottle last a lot longer!

SCENTINI fruity fragrances cocktails pg 7 in Avon Brochure Campaign 14 $9.99 each (will be $20 each)

Plum Twist 081-643

Citrus Chill 081-670

Rose Fizz 081-664

I'm a women of many faces and often get bored with certain looks, fragrances and I even change my hair every 4 months! This perfume is perfect for me as not only are the great scents but they are at a great price! For $9.99 a piece you can easily buy a bottle of each scent and depending on the mood of the day or the occassion have 3 different great scents to choose from. This scents are fun and flirty and definitely not overpowering. They are a perfect gift for a teenage daughter, niece or granddaughter. I currently have samples of these scents so if you're unsure just contact me for your personal sample size to try out!

PRINCESS RING replica of Duchess Kate's Engagement Ring pg. 103 in Avon Brochure $25

322-720 size 5

322-700 size 6

322-757 size 7

322-853 size 8

322-736 size 9

322-715 size 10

322-832 size 11

So I know there is a lot of closet Royal Fans in the house and I know a lot of us were there glued to our TVs to watch the Royal Wedding this year and now you can own your very own replica of the engagement ring! I included this as there is a bit of princess in all of us and we all like to dream every once in a while! When I first started shopping with Avon I always stayed clear of the jewelry as I always thought that for the price they are selling it for it could never  be good quality. I'm here to tell you I was DEAD WRONG! The brochures do the jewelry no justice and the pieces are absolutely more beautiful in person and the quality is above and beyond.
