Happy Monday everyone! What’s new and happening with you? I can tell you that there is definitely a whole lotta new and happening going on over here in Avon Land. It’s all so exciting, and tomorrow is Campaign 4 launch day, with even more new goodness. My head is spinning! But in a good way.
One thing I can tell you about the new items being released by Avon, is that they are definitely more luxe, and this is intentional. With our new CEO at the helm, Avon is going in a new, upward, and definitely trend-making trajectory.
So, the newest and truly “luxe” item that caught my eye was the Fruits and Passion Cucina Hand Soap. I knew immediately that this was for me. I am a foodie and a home cook – I wash my hands a LOT, and my hands pay for this fact with dryness (and I do have my favorite Avon hand cream for that), but it is nice to have a moisturizing hand soap to help prevent the dryness in the first place, right?
Well, this new luxe hand soap line from Avon is just the ticket. It is a gentle, (also biodegradable), natural ingredient, plant-derived formula, which includes olive oil and glycerin, both of which are greatly touted for being super moisturizing.
There are 3 formulations to choose from: Grapefruit and Rhubarb (pink soap) – that’s the one I chose to try – it smells sooooo good. I definitely get the grapefruit notes. Not over-powering, just really, really nice, which is another intentional factor of this luxury hand soap, it is exquisitely scented. There is Sea Salt and Amalfi Lemon (white soap), and then also the Coriander and Olive Oil (green soap).
I love the packaging of this soap as well. Cucina means kitchen in Italian, and these bottles and the ingredients definitely lend to an Italian kitchen feel. So in essence, these cuties look fabulous, feel fabulous on your hands, and smell fabulous.
As you saw from my first picture posted, these hand soaps arrive in a nice white box that says Avon. I think these hand soaps would actually make wonderful gift ideas. I was thinking like a thoughtful gift for your Mom, your Sister, a co-worker, or a teacher, or anyone really. Your bestie would probably love receiving a luxe hand soap, I know I would! Ohhh — How about your cheffy guy friends, and don’t forget to treat yourself as well. These look so pretty in the kitchen.
The Fruits and Passion Cucina Hand Soaps are being launched at the introductory price of $15.00 a bottle – regular price is $19.00. So fabulous!
I’m hoping to post more this week than the last several weeks. I’ve been a bit distracted with the holidays and my birthday – Yay! Very fun distractions, but my brain has been on wanting to get back over here and share all this fun stuffs with all of you.
I celebrated my 55th birthday on January 14th – oh hey! It definitely feels like a marker birthday. It seems like I was just celebrating my 50th, and that was quite a lot to take in, and now I am over 50, and actually really enjoying this stage of my life, being an empty-nester and just following my passions and joys in life. Here’s a pic of my fun little birthday cake:
Man Alive! I’m 55! Yay! Haha! I couldn’t resist a bit of comedy for this. My sweet hubby surprised me with some gorgeous tulips and an all day shopping spree day together and also dinner out. I told you I was enjoying this stage of my life!
But anyway — I’m back here for ya, and ready to rock it big time and keep you in the know on all things Avon fab.
And speaking of Avon fab, be sure to use the code GODDESS when checking out to receive a free sample of Avon’s new Green Goddess Facial Oil. This is good through the end of Campaign 4, so you still have time to get your sample.
And remember also that I am paying for your shipping when you place an order of $60.00 or more. My sincere thank you for your patronage.
Okay gang, I’ll be back very soon with more goodness to share. You’ll not have time to miss me this go around!
