Iconic Vintage Avon Products That You Can Still Purchase from Avon

Iconic Vintage Avon Products that You can Still Purchase from Avon.  https://www.avon.com/category/bath-and-body?rep=mybeauty

Hey everyone! How are you doing? I hope wonderfully.

I love it when a conversation sparks inspiration, don’t you?

I’ve been corresponding with a friend of mine who goes by the handle, High Heeled Road Tripper, and she was commenting about vintage Avon products, and that got me to thinking, “You know, we do still have some vintage Avon products that are actively for sale today.”, which is really cool as I hear comments from folks all the time saying that they couldn’t believe that a certain product was still for sale that they had forgotten about, so, let’s talk vintage Avon, and what you can still find that may be a long time favorite.

First and foremost, the queen of iconic Avon products, Skin So Soft. The original, the OG. 🙂 Yes, it is still here in all it’s glory, and then some. You can purchase Avon Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil plus many other Skin So Soft products in the original scent, plus new scents. The original Skin So Soft scent is the one that everyone has used as a bug repellent for decades. I know I’ve used it forever, and I still do. It now comes in a handy gel formulation that’s very easy to apply. I just got some for us for the Summer. So, happily it looks like SSS is here to stay! Hooray!

One of the oldest products, besides Skin So Soft, would have to be Avon’s Perfumed Liquid Deodorant. I remember my Mother using this product. How about you? Did you ever use this, or anyone in your family?

What I remember from my teens are Avon’s perfumes. I believe my first Avon perfume was Sweet Honesty, and then Timeless. Those two are still available (as are they in deodorant and hand cream form too), plus Candid, Night Magic, Topaze, Odyssey, and Dream Life. Some others that I consider vintage, are Imari, Rare Pearls, and for men, Wild Country and Black Suede. You can find all of Avon’s fragrances (iconic and new) here. The men’s fragrances are here.

For perfumed deodorants, Avon has always been great at offering deodorants that match your favorite Avon perfumes. They still have a number of roll-on deodorants in vintage fragrances as well as some new ones. You can check those all out here.

Now, something that I definitely remember my Grandmother using, was Avon’s Silicone Glove Hand Lotion. I have a fond memory of her putting this on before heading out to church. And it’s still available on my Avon website. Too cool. You can check out all of Avon’s hand creams here.

Another iconic Avon product (line) that may not have been around as long as some of the others, is Avon’s Anew line of skin care. This is an Avon top seller, for good reason, and hopefully will be around for many more years to come. This line keeps growing as Avon continues to develop and add new skin care products all the time.

I hope you enjoyed this Avon product memory lane and that you stop by and pick up some of your old favorites, as well as find some new favorites too.

Avon’s Valentine Boutique 2022, Gifts for Him and Her

Hello, and happy Monday everyone!

Tomorrow is February 1st, and you know what that means. It’s time to think about your Valentine’s and Galentine’s, and what special gifts you’d like to give to show them your admiration and love. I personally think a big hug is always in order, but for something a little more tangible, Avon has a new Valentine’s Day Boutique open that features very lovely gifts for him and her.

You’ve got to see the jewelry they have right now for men. I purchased this Cross Necklace for my Husband. It is really stunning, and I love that it is stainless steel. This will last forever and not tarnish.

There is also a matching bracelet and ring. In Avon’s Valentine’s Day Boutique you’ll also find a very handsome men’s watch and men’s fragrances, including aftershaves.

For the ladies, there is also very stunning jewelry and jewelry sets like this gorgeous Chocolate Jewelry Set.

There is the Necklace and coordinating Earrings that are sold as a set, and the Bracelet and Ring are sold separately. There are also tear drop Earrings that look just like the Necklace that are sold separately as well.

You’ll find many women’s jewelry items, as well as perfumes, and makeup items.

I hope you enjoy shopping Avon’s Valentine’s Day Boutique 2022 and find the perfect memorable gifts for your Valentine, Galentine, or for yourself.

Cheers!

Haiku Perfume Poetry: Beautiful Japanese Garden Fragrance

So beautiful… So tranquil… What a way to begin the new year.

How are you all doing? I hope you’re looking forward to a fabulous 2022.

I’ve began my 2022 enjoying the lovely fragrance of Haiku. I’ve actually been wearing this every day since it arrived, which is quite something for me. If you’ve been following my posts here for any length of time then you’ll know that I did not wear fragrance for a while after my candle making and perfumery days. I became overly sensitive to aromas and had to lay off for quite some time, and now I am very selective in what I enjoy experiencing scent-wise, and I’m especially cautious in which aromas I choose to wear. I mainly lean towards warm, vanilla-type aromas as they seem to be easier on the nose than florals, but — and this is really something — Avon has surprised me over and over now with their new perfumes. They are so well done. So expertly blended. And I know they are using only the very best fragrance oils because they are absolutely beautiful to enjoy. This has been my experience thus far with all the new aromas that I have tried, and Haiku certainly is on the top of my list right now for a very enjoyable fragrance.

I reviewed Haiku Sacred a while back. I really love that version as well. They are both very different from one another.

If you love a fresh floral then you will love this original Haiku.

NOTES
Top: Japanese yuzu
Middle: Delicate muguet
Bottom: Blonde woods

Japanese Yuzu is a traditional Japanese citrus fruit with an aromatic zest. You really get that in the top note. It’s beautiful but not overbearing on the citrus. Delicate Muguet (pronounced moo-gay) is French for Lily of the Valley. It’s a soft, delicate (as described) floral. Very easy on the nose. And Blonde Woods is an aromatic note meant to give you the soft sensuous feeling of cashmere. So, imagine all that blended together in one, and each note releasing itself to finish with a soft sensuality. Brilliant!

Which, I looked up the meaning of Haiku, and according to readpoetry.com, Haikus are Japanese poems that focus on a brief moment in time, juxtaposing two images, and creating a sudden sense of enlightenment.  So, I suppose Avon’s name for this fabulous perfume (and perfume line) is really spot on. The aromas are like poetry in motion.

Here is Avon’s description of this aroma:

The calming and clean notes of Haiku Eau de Parfum bloom in harmony to create a fresh floral that evokes the serenity of a Japanese garden.

You can enjoy Haiku in several different forms. I am enjoying this fragrance in Spray and Deodorant form. Isn’t it cool to be able to match your deodorant with your perfume? I like to spray the perfume into the air and walk into it. It gives me a very nice, light, aroma that makes me feel beautiful.

Here is a link to the Haiku Spray Perfume, and here is a link to the complete Haiku Perfume Collection, where you can find the perfect Haiku (or perfume poetry) for you.

Till next time, remember to stay fabulous and follow your joy!

Haiku Sacred Intense Eau de Parfum Review

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you enjoyed a fabulous weekend!

Today I bring an offering of wonderful aroma with Avon’s Haiku Sacred Intense Eau de Parfum.

I received a bottle of this in a recent Avon gift, and I was very excited to give it a try. Avon just recently launched their new Intense line of Haiku fragrances, and they all sound very intriguing.

I didn’t know what to expect with this gorgeous purple bottle. I suppose some type of “purple” floral. But, I was quite surprised. The aroma does not smell “purple” in the least. It is a beautiful blend of Rose de Mai (I looked this up, and Rose de Mai is a hybrid rose developed by Dutch breeders sometime between the 17th and 19th century (or earlier), according to Wikipedia. Hm! Learn something new every day!), uplifting tangerine, and earthy driftwood (balancing the beauty of nature, according to Avon).

I have to tell you — I really like it. It does not scream rose perfume or tangerine, but I get those notes + the slight earthiness, but most of all it is very fresh. Not heavy. I have mentioned to you before that I am a former perfumer and my nose is quite sensitive to smell. Aromas affect me in different ways – sometimes very positive, and sometimes not so much, and I sometimes have a more difficult time with florals, so I went in easily. But I must say that I can actually wear this without any upset, and actually, over the past few days I’ve found myself wanting to wear it. It is really pretty, and although the name says Intense, it really is not overpowering. I put on a gentle spray and rub my arms together slightly, and it’s very nice. I wouldn’t spray this all over, then it may become “Intense” :), unless that’s what you desire, then go for it!

You’re not going to believe what this perfume reminds me of. The first time I wore this, the very first thing that I thought of, and I know that you’re probably going to say that I’m silly, this is not a “professional” description, but I am going to say my honest opinion and what it reminds me of — You know that aroma you get when you open one of those fancy fashion magazines and they have a perfume sample inside the pages? You get a waft of beautiful aroma, and think, oh my goodness, that smells good, and I bet it’s very expensive. You know what I mean? That’s what it reminds me of! I feel like a fashion model wearing this. Super Star Jfay! Yay!

So, in my opinion, this one is a keeper. I most likely would not have ever experienced this lovely aroma had it not been for Avon graciously gifting it to me in my Ambassador gift collection. So THANK YOU Avon. I really love it, and will continue to wear this. I’m really surprised. I’m not usually a “rose” fragrance fan, but this is the second Avon product that I really love the aroma of, that has rose as an ingredient. The other is my Black Rose Body Scrub and Cleanser. That has a totally different aroma, and is really really pretty.

I hope you found my review helpful, and you may enjoy learning more about Avon’s Haiku line of perfumes. They encourage you to “Find Your Zen”.

Till next time, stay fabulous and follow your joy!

Special Greetings

Hello everyone! Hope you’re staying warm!

Now’s the perfect time to get some Christmas shopping done online, inside, where you’re nice and comfy. If it’s cold and rainy here in Texas, well, it’s a good guess you’re wanting to stay snug where you are too.

And now that you’re getting into the Christmas shopping spirit, how about those little special touches that let people know how much you really love and care about them?

That’s where my good friend Beth comes in. I’d like to introduce you to the fabulous greeting artworks by Pretty Byrd Designs.

I’ve been friends with Beth for quite a few years now. We’ve been Etsy Teammates and have formed a wonderful kinship. Her work is so beautiful and has a gorgeous vintage look. She also does custom work. I’ve ordered several custom designed cards from her and they are frame-worthy memories.

Among her designs, she creates greeting cards, gift boxes, gift tags, and also cute little canvas and easel works.

Omg — I’m so in love with those toy gift cards. How perfect for Christmas gifts.

I hope you’ll stop by and visit Beth’s Etsy Shop. She is just the sweetest, and you will be filled with extra Holiday joy this season for doing so. Have a special card made for your special someone. You can send her a memorable photograph to put on a card, let her know someone’s special style, special saying, etc. Anything that is unique and means something to you or your recipient. She loves doing this type of design.

Okay gang — I’m off for now so you can go visit Beth. Remember to stop in and see what each day’s special deal is on my Avon website during the 12 Days of Deals. We’re now on day 4 and the free gift is Magix Prime face perfector/primer. And while you’re visiting, put your name in the hat for the Retro Revival Sweepstakes. This gift set is a $194.00 value and includes some very gorgeous jewelry, vintage makeup items, and perfume.

Till next time, stay fabulous!
