Abalone and CHI Love

I skipped over Monday and charged right into the work week on Tuesday in Avon’s Classic Elegance 3 Piece Set! Big shout out to Avon’s CHI Essentials Hair Color in Medium Brown for the gray coverage–easy, beautiful, and DOESN’T stink!!

Elegance is right! The photos of this set (minus the bracelet, since I’m not a bracelet fan) do not do it justice. It shimmers, sparkles, and glitters with every micro-movement. With simpler pieces like these, they can be worn with just about anything from tees and jeans to wedding gowns. The sky’s the limit!

I finally caved and colored my grey temples. It was simple to follow the instructions and the kit included absolutely everything you need including gloves, a shower cap, and after care mini bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and serum. While that is impressive, what I was most amazed by was that the color/developer did not stink!!! In addition, the drips and staining along my hairline were EASY to wipe off with baby oil–I didn’t have to scrub the crap out of it! Out of the 12 shades offered, I opted for medium brown, but I will likely choose a lighter shade next time. While it looks perfect in sunlight, it’s a bit too dark for my taste using indoor lighting. However, before I decide that, I’ll see how it wears over time. Overall, I am positively in love with this kit!

Princess Party

Last Saturday, I celebrated my birthday by having homemade tacos with the fam in Avon’s Sparkling Pink Statement Necklace and Earring Set!

Every girl deserves a princess birthday–and with the help of this set, I felt like a was dripping in in jewelry fit for a princess! The necklace, in particular, was a showstopper! With the varying lengths of hanging glass stones, it makes just about every neckline luxurious. Plus, white, pink, and gold together is a classic combo. While the earrings failed to wow me as much as the necklace, they played a very important supportive role by not stealing the limelight and holding their own in the presence of a supernova. Now, where’s my crown?

I stumbled through Monday in Avon’s Modern Pink Loop Earrings!

These earrings may be feather light, but they pack a big accessory punch! The wire loop is unusually long, which I originally wasn’t keen on–but then I put them on. I might just be a sucker for pink and black together, but I feel like these make a huge statement without having to take up the space “true” statement pieces traditionally occupy. For those of us who are on the smaller side, these are a godsend! Fun, interesting, beautiful–you can have all three!

Last Sunday, I ran to the grocery store so I could teach the hubs how to cook his favorite dish of mine that night: penne con vodka and parmesan encrusted chicken! I featured Avon’s Hammered Pendant Long Necklace and the biggest hoops in their Silvertone Modern Hoop Trio Pack!

The necklace’s pendant has a medium weight and size on a very hip paperclip-style chain. I wasn’t crazy about the pendant up close, but I really like how it looks from a bit of a distance, which is how all the cool kids are doing things nowadays, so there’s that. I’m a fan of paperclip necklaces for multiple reasons: they are interesting to look at, you can clip on charms randomly to change the overall look, and you can decide whether you want to wear it short, medium, long, or as a choker!

These hoops are such a treasure! From a distance, you don’t really notice the CZ detail on the outside, but you sure do up close–and, boy are they brilliant! These made it into my “favorites” jewelry box!

Rubbing Horns

Monday I worked, delivered, and sang like a boss in the Respect shade from Avon’s Limited-Edition Give ’em Tude Mattitude Gift Set (no longer available), their Adjustable Horn Pendant Necklace, and their Sterling Silver Classic CZ Solitaire Earrings!

I found that, throughout the day, I was holding and rubbing the horn pendant on the necklace like a genie’s bottle. I’m sure that means something, but I’m not ready to unpack it. So, instead, I’ll focus on its chain (my favorite new “style” again) and the vibrancy of its color (SO BLUE!). The earrings were in heavy rotation this week as they go with everything and aren’t fussy–default pieces aren’t generally fun to review, but they are mandatory for every collection!
