Hopelessly Heather

The ramblings and obsessions of a longtime Avon lady

Each Monday I gather up the daily QOTD (Quote of the Day) posts I made for the week that are inspirational, motivational or just plain funny.

Avon is killing it with their Iconic Collection! I showed off the Iconic Avon Pearly Poinsettia Necklace and Earring Set (sadly, already sold out) and Iconic Lipstick in Wine Kisses – a limited edition shade just for this collection!

The jewelry set is old-fashioned in many respects: appearance, design, materials, size and weight! Dear lord, these things are heavy! You can see the earring tipping forward on my lobe from pure heft. Aside from that fact, they are classic retro pieces, which you all know I appreciate! One small gripe: because the pendant is such a considerable weight and size, I felt the necklace chain was both too short and too dainty a gauge to support it. Yes, I know I can swap out chains, but that’s not the point…

Being such a vintage freak, I am in love with the design of the iconic line – particularly the lipsticks! The cases are so dreamy and even the boxes they are packaged in are stupid cute! This color goes on super dark (such a deep purple it was nearly black, like vamp), but stains out to a delicious berry shade. I’ll definitely wear the color again.

Sometimes I’m not in the mood for a full lipstick color, but I still need a little hint of color to keep from looking subhuman – Avon’s True Color Lip Balm is the bomb!

I own all three subtle shades (Coral Crush, Pink Pucker and Plum Passion) which provide light to medium coverage based on your own preference (in beauty blogger speak, the color is buildable).  The colors look terrifyingly bright in the tube, but don’t go on bright at all.  It’s saying something when I can wear every shade directly from the tube!
