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.
Monday’s QOTD:
This week I featured daily sale highlights from Avon’s campaign 19 as follows:
Sunday’s Highlight:
Who doesn’t want their eyeliner to go on smoothly and last all day? Avon’s True Color SuperShock Gel Eye Liner Pencils are infused with vitamin E to provide the perfect gel formula – a cross between a liquid eyeliner and a pencil. Available in 4 vibrant shades for only $5.99 each (regularly $8) makes this deal hard to pass up!
Saturday was date night with the hubs which calls for dressing up and Avon’s Clara Dress with their Modern Geo Linear Earrings from their Fall For Paris collection were the answer! I’m totally loving the mod vibe!
The dress is lovely but needed some shape (and to be shortened a tad, but that’s because I’m vertically challenged), so I added a belt to make it more of an empire waist, which looked way better in person than in photos…and I was running late for date night so I didn’t have time to fuss over getting the *right* photos. Ask the hubs – he’ll tell you how irritated I was at the photos I was stuck working with…
So, about the dress itself: The print is super cool with maroon-ish red, pink, cream and black colors – and the bottom is visually interesting how it seems to have a darker underlay to the pattern. The boat neck is flattering on everyone and has adorable gold button details on the tops of the shoulders. The print on the outside of the dress has a very plastic-y feel to it and it’s not pleasant. It definitely had a smell to it when I pulled it out of the package, though that had dissipated after airing it out before wearing it. I think the print also caused the underlying fabric to become unbreathable which would make it unbearable to wear in any kind of heat. Still, a very pretty dress.
The earrings are great – in theory. In practice, they didn’t hang straight at all. Every “joint” piece that connected the next piece to the overall look made each section pick its own direction to hang. Add to that the heavy mod pendant at the bottom which made that piece tip forward from the top. To say my OCD was out of control is putting it mildly! Lying flat they look great but hanging from my ear they look like a crooked witch finger. I was pretty disappointed that these didn’t hang right.
End result: Sad earring day. Wah, wah.
It’s Favorites Friday!!
I am cheap ::cough:: okay, budget conscious. I just don’t see any point in paying more for a product that has cooler packaging, better name brand recognition or because it’s a current trend. I use coupons. I stock up on stuff when it’s on sale. And I seek out less expensive and comparable alternatives whenever possible.
Add to this picture that I am a middle-aged lady with skin that is starting to act like it. Thus came about my love affair with Avon’s Skin So Soft Firm & Restore Neck & Chest Treatment Cream SPF 15. I bought some of the higher priced neck and chest creams on the market and bought into the whole “you get what you pay for” business, but decided to give the SSS cream a go after one of my customers ordered it and I am so glad I did! The SSS cream goes on smooth and has built-in sunscreen! To sweeten the pot, it has a lovely light and fresh scent that smells divine and still allows me to layer other fragrances without it hogging all the airspace. Continue reading
