Hopelessly Heather

I missed posting last week because there was only one selfie taken.  Avon has been sparse in their new jewelry/clothing offerings, and I suck at regularly trying new makeup or skin care products, instead preferring to stick with my tried and true solutions.  But fear not my devoted readers, I received a ton of new jewelry pieces this past week for the next campaign that kicks off next week, so I will hopefully be back on track with my one per week posts!

Two Mondays ago, I showed off Avon’s Genuine Rose Quartz Layered Necklace and Earrings a day early, because they were so gorgeous! PLUS portions of sales from the line are donated to support the fight on breast cancer!

Rose quartz is such a beautiful light pink that it’s not in-your-face girly, but still oozes femininity.  Form it into a vague and small-ish heart shape, slap some gold around it, and you’ve got a gorgeous and delicate set that still pays homage to its natural stone state.  As a result, the pieces were smaller than I had anticipated, but that actually made me happy, as I had worried about the weight of the earrings should they have been medium or large.  The layers of the necklace featured freewheeling pendants, so they mostly hung properly throughout the day, though the top layer was incredibly lightweight and kept sticking to my oily skin–which is purely a “me” problem and not a reason I’d actively dissuade someone from purchasing the pieces because of.  How can you not love beautiful pieces that also benefit the fight on breast cancer?!
