Avon Haul

Avon Calling!

This is an older haul and the photo has been sitting on my camera so to do some picture purging, I figured I might as well post this.  I mean, better late than never right?  I submitted this order when Avon was running a deal with Fergie perfumes and I got 2 bottles for the price of 1 or it was a buy one get one 50% off.  Since I owned one of the Fergie perfumes, I figured I might as well get the other 2 since I enjoyed the one I had.  I made sure to look up reviews and they ranged from all across the board, but for the most part the reviews were pleasantly positive.

Since I’ve also been looking into serums, when Avon launched their clinical multi-tone skin corrector serum I decided to pick it up. Since it was an introductory product, I got it for a little bit less than its future price.  I admit, I have not tried this yet, but since I’m trying a new serum at the moment, this one will be on the back burner until I’m done with that serum.

Here’s what I ordered:

• Fergie Outspoken perfume
• Fergie Outspoken Intense perfume
• Anew Clinical Absolute Even Multi-Tone skin Corrector

QUESTION:

Have you tried any new Avon products as of late?

Review: Viva by Fergie Eau de Parfum Spray

I purchased this Fergie perfume through Avon after smelling the scent on one of those “scratch and sniff” sort of pages in the catalog.  I went into knowing that the scents are not always true to what you smell in the book, but I found that the scent lingered on my skin for quite a while and that it appeared to be very attractive against my bodies’ chemistry.

I purchased the fragrance at an introductory $19.99 (I believe it is not $29.99 in recent catalogs).  The bottle itself holds 1.7 fl oz of product.  I am not the greatest at explaining scents, so the scent described in the catalog is as such: “A sexy contradiction of captivating cool herbs spiked with fresh lavender and intriguing vetiver.”

The fragrance is packaged in a clear glass bottle, with a silver triangular accent down the middle along with a pull off top. The liquid is a pretty lavender shade, which does not transfer, it applies to the skin and clothing clear.

The scent itself is, at least on my skin, a long lasting one.  I spritz it on in the morning and I can smell it on me throughout the afternoon.  It’s a “stronger scent”, not overly bold, but it’s just beautifully balanced to showcase its presence and beautifulness.  There’s a bit of a “spicy” element to it, thanks to the herbs, which I very much like, while it’s also soft enough to let the floral scent be noticed.  It’s undoubtedly a unique, layered scent that I’ve grown to love very much.

Have you tried any of the Fergie perfumes sold through Avon?

Shannon’s Belated Walgreen’s Haul!

 This is a belated haul from Walgreen’s.  This is the product of what happens when I have to go to the pharmacy because someone (even if that someone is myself) doesn’t feel well and needs some sort of medication.  There are a few Walgreen’s around me that have designated areas for their clearance items and I typically hit those up after carousing the beauty section.  This particular day there were a few items in the clearance section that I snagged, while the polishes I grabbed in the little partitioned area in the beauty section.  I was kind of excited to get the two Sinful Colors polishes since they were available on “limited edition” displays as they were not part of the permanent line.

Here’s what I picked up:

-    Gillette Fusion Instant Hydration Moisturizer (for my BF)
-    Personal care Kit – includes nail file, nail clippers (2 sizes), cuticle pusher and tweezer.  This was like 99 cents on clearance
-    Sinful Colors – Leap Frog
-    Sinful Colors – Winterberry
-    Wet n Wild Fergie – Tonight’s Gonna Be a Good Night
