Hello everyone
I am feeling marginally better and didn't want to neglect you guys further so I thought I would show you all the latest Avon goodies that I've picked up.
When the Avon gets delivered every 3 weeks all reps recieve an exclusive brochure just for us showing us what products are coming up and giving us an opportunity to pre- order them. That way we can get to grips with new products, try them out and stock up on essentials. Most of these products are from this brochure but a few were gifted to me by my sales leader... because she is lovely.
First off facial skincare....
This is the Anew Genics Treatment Cream. (This was a gift from my sales leader). I have quite a number of Anew products but for some reason I've never tried this cream so I was quite excited when this was gifted to me. I still haven't had a chance to try it but I can tell you that its been recommended in Look magazine and that it is £15.50 in Brochure 6. I'll be able to give you a more thorough review once I've actually used it.
Next up is body skincare....
The item on the left is Solutions Cellu- Break. This is a product that is not coming out until Brochure 7. I love all things Solutions but I am very suspicious of anything that claims to be able to get rid of cellulite. I am up for giving anything a try though and Avon say that "75% of women agreed that it makes your skin feel more toned, giving you the freedom to reveal more of it". Its going to be a pretty bargain price too of just £4 when its released so I will let you know if it lives up to its claim. One of the nice things about it is that the active ingredients are natural- coffee bean extract and hawthorn fruit- so you know what you are putting on your body and it doesn't smell too bad.
On the right is another new product to brochure 7, Fresh Hydration Cooling Body Lotion. The Avon care range is much used in our household as we seem to be a family of dry skinners and this moisturises and doesn't irritate mine and my Mums sensitive skin. This has lemongrass and cucumber extract in it which I assume is what makes it so cooling to the skin and it has a lovely fresh aroma to it too. On release it will be £1.20 (so another bargain).
Now I have some fragrance products...
You may recognise the product on the left as Avon have had this before, Tahitian Holiday Exotic Body Mist. It tends to appear about this time of year as its a summer fragrance and is back because it is so loved. I've gotta say that one spray of this and I'm thinking of summer holidays, lazing on the beach in Spain.... It has tropical coconut, white blossoms, warming ginger, monoi oil and Tahitian tiare flower in it which makes it very tropical, warming and exotic. It has a very fresh smell that I think is just lovely and it will be released in Brochure 7 for just £2.
In the middle is a bit of a classic in the form of the Little Red Dress Perfumed Body Spray. I previously only had this in purse spray form so was thrilled to be gifted this form of it. Its a great scent for Spring evenings whilst being another bargain at just £1.99 in brochure 6. I'm not going to go on about this too much as I've raved about this scent before and I don't want to bore you but I will tell you its quite a spicy, oriental scent.
On the right we have another Avon staple that was gifted to me, Secret Fantasy EDT. The Secret Fantasy range is aimed at a younger crowd but the scents have a very fresh, daytime feeling to me so I think its a must for your perfume collection. This scent is a best seller and has no lid but a very cute detachable cast iron charm on a stainless steel chain which makes it a cute gift. Its £11 or 2 for £14 with other selected perfumes in Brochure 6.
Next I have some jewellery items to show you....
On the left I have my favourite Avon item that I've picked up this month which is the Night Trance Ring. This is another item not being released until Brochure 7. Monochrome is going to be big this S/S and this was the perfect addition to my ring collection. The black and sparkling silver really pops and it looks very elegant on the hand. I ordered this a size too big (it comes in S, M and L) so I have to wait until next delivery to swap it over which is driving me insane as I want to wear it now! It will be £5 on release or can be purchased with the matching earrings and necklace for just £10.
On the right is such a pretty set- Oralee Wild 3 Piece Gift Set. I was a little surprised when this arrived as the pictures in the brochure make it look silver but it is a gold colour. I don't know how it has come out quite so gold as it is silver plated with clear glass stones... odd but at least you know now. The set has a necklace, bracelet and earrings and is quite stunning. It has quite a classic look about it so if you look after it you could wear it season after season. This set will be released in Brochure 7 and will be £7.
My final little section of this haul post is actually products that have been discontinued but were all gifted to me so I have done a little research for you and found the alternatives that Avon has released to replace them...
First on the left is the Skin So Soft Soft & Fresh Replenishing Dry Oil Body Spray. Last year the Skin So Soft range had a bit of a makeover and was given new packaging and new formulations. This has been re- released in the new packaging with a new formula including jojoba oil and has been renamed Original Dry Oil Spray. I still find the old formula very good though as this dry oil locks in moisture and if you are on holiday both lots are disliked by mosquitos- a suitcase essential. The spray is £2.25 in Brochure 6.
A couple of posts ago I was lamenting the fact that I didn't know what had happened to the Glimmerstick Chromes range. Sadly it does appear to be discontinued but my Sales Leader managed to get hold of these two for me- Burgundy Shock (top) and Mocha Flash (bottom) so at least I have these for my make- up bag. I cannot bang on enough about how amazing Glimmersticks are. If you have tried them you will know what I mean and the vast majority of colours at the bargain prices makes me love them even more. I do have exciting news though- Avon are releasing a new range of Glimmersticks!! They are so new that even I've not been able to get my hands on them but I will tell you what I know. They are going to be released in Brochure 9 and are called Glimmerstick Cosmic Eyeliners. It has the same great points as previous Glimmerstick ranges (lasts up to 12 hours, water, smudge and fade proof) but the finish is a multi- coloured sparkle. On release there will be 6 shades- Twilight, Silver Eclipse, Moonlit Brown, Galactic Green, Blackened Night and Midnight Sky and they will be at an introductory price of £3. I'm quite excited to get my hands on these and will give you more info as I know it!
The final discontinued item in this haul is the True Glow Radiant Shimmer Body Dust Brush. I love the look of this but am holding out on using it until the tights and jumpers are off otherwise I'll just be wasting good bronzing powder on the inside of clothes. The True Glow range has been replaced by the Avon Glow range and if you want a product similar to this then look at for the Avon Glow Shake and Glow Bronzer in Brochure 6 for £11. It comes in two shades- light for fair skin and medium for dark skin. I just wish it was warm enough to use it now...
And that is it for this month! I love trying new products and if you live in the Bournemouth area and want to try any of these or pre- order then send me an e-mail to widdicombejennifer@gmail.com and I'll be in contact.
Have a great weekend and thank you for reading.
Jen xoxo
