Welcome Fall with Gorgeous Seasonal Candles from Avon

And welcome to you all! (Or, y’all, as we say here in Texas!)

I’m sooooo excited that Fall has finally arrived. How about you? It’s definitely one of my favorite times of the year, when we welcome back the beautiful colors and aromas of Autumn, and hopefully some cooler weather. We’re sitting right in the middle of a tropical storm here in the Houston area, but oh well, I can still create the sense of Fall in my home, no matter what’s going on outside.

And what a gorgeous way to bring Fall into my home, and into your home! Avon has released their Seasonal Candles for this year, and they are stunning. I was so happy when I first saw these. I know I was smiling from ear to ear.

I don’t know about you, but some of these seem to have a Christmas theme to me. And, I do not know if this line will be for both Fall and Christmas, I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I can definitely already spy a few that will work for both for me. Let’s walk through each one and see what aroma blends they have to bring us comforts and joy.

I wanted to begin with my favorite – Pumpkin Pie! My husband and I both already agree that this is the one we want for our Autumn Candle. We always pick one together from Avon’s Seasonal Candle offerings. The aroma is Cinnamon Sugar, Sweet Pumpkin, and Warm Praline. Yuuuummmmm…..

And, before I go any further, I will let you know that each candle is listed for $25.00, but of course you get a special price when you shop my website. So your price and mine is $19.99. These are soy-blend candles for a cleaner burn. They are also 3 wick candles with a 30 hour burn time. And — the aromas are crafted by master perfumers, so la-di-da!

Okay — who’s next?

The Frosted Currant Candle. This one has the aroma of Currant, Magnolia, and Creamy Musk. I love how the scents are listed on each candle. No guess-work there. Makes it so much easier to quickly choose your favorite aromas.

Next is the Wreath Candle.

See, now this one reminds me of Christmas. The aromas are Juniper Berries, Frosted Fir Balsam, and Amber. Bet this one smells awesome. Will keep it in mind for Christmas for sure, or even the next one up, Nog.

This one sounds delicious with Pistachio, Spiced Vanilla, and Warm Milk. Definitely one to sit by the fireplace with, snuggled up with your honey. Or, perhaps the last one in the lineup is more for fireside snuggles?

This one’s really pretty with the vibrant red and gold. Flannel, with the aromas of Bergamot, Freesia, and Cedarwood. Very imaginative! I love the inspiration there.

So, have you picked your favorites, yet? Are you ready to get into the Fall spirit? Get your home in the Fall spirit? I know I am, and I’ve already begun. Cannot wait to get our Pumpkin Candle here and displayed where we can enjoy it’s beauty and aroma.

I wish you all a wonderful Autumn season filled with much joy, happiness, and beautiful Fall colors.

Fall and Autumn Home Decor Seasonal Candles from Avon.

The New Mosaic Candle, Beautiful Art and Aroma

Hello everyone! I suppose you can now guess what I received from Avon yesterday.

My new Mosaic Candle! Isn’t she a beauty? Look at the gorgeous artwork on this candle.

**The Mosaic Candle’s Beautiful Artwork**

The artist definitely depicts the Summer setting sun with much beauty. It reminds me of modern art. I love all the colors of the sun rays and the different patterns for each.

And beyond that, the aroma of this candle is really beautiful as well. Both the artwork and scent description grabbed my attention when I first saw the new lineup of Avon’s Summer Candles, and I knew this was the one for me. Well, the one for Hubby and me. We both read all the descriptions and decided together that this one was our number one choice.

The candle arrived in a nice box (as you can see from the pictures). All of Avon’s candles arrive very nicely packaged. The wicks were protected with two foam packaging inserts and the wax was covered with a peach colored cardboard insert. Very nice. You can tell real care was given to protect the integrity of the candle.

The scent description is posted on the box:

**The Mosaic Candle’s Scent Description**

The Mosaic Candle’s Aroma is a blend of Vibrant Peach, Fresh Mandarin, and Solar Musk.

Here is Avon’s official description:

Aromatic luxury. Uplift your senses with a unique fruity blend of vibrant peach, mandarin and faceted solar musk. Now with enhanced fine fragrances crafted by master perfumers, new designs and soy-blend wax for a cleaner burn!

OUR UNIQUE BLEND
Some candles made solely from paraffin wax can give off black soot when burned, which can potentially stain curtains or walls. Our soy-blend candles give off a cleaner burn.

NOTES
• Vibrant peach
• Fresh mandarin
• Faceted solar musk

FEATURES
• 3-wick candle
• 11 oz. candle
• 30 hours of burn time
• 4″ in diam. by 3 1/4″ H

So, not only beauty for your eyes and nose, but also a clean burning and long-lasting/long burning candle.

The Mosaic Candle will add extra beauty to our home decor as well. I will be displaying this in our living room on our bar area. I cannot wait to burn it tonight for Hubby to enjoy as well. I got to enjoy the aroma while doing this photo shoot. I just kept saying, “It smells so pretty”. It is very easy and pleasant on the nose. And you know I’ve told you before that I have a very sensitive nose and was once a candle maker, so yes, I definitely recommend this candle, and have had wonderful success with all of Avon’s candles that I’ve purchased. Hubby and I enjoy them very much.

The Mosaic Candle is one of five new Summer time candles from Avon.

There is also the Bonfire Candle, the Cabana candle, Sandstone Candle, and the Meadow Candle.

Each candle has its own personality, gorgeous artwork, Summer scent, and each is listed at $19.99, original price is $25.00. You always get a discount when you shop with me as your Rep! And remember, I pay for your shipping with an order of $60.00+.

Well gang, I am off for now. You know I’ll be back with more Avon goodness to share with you soon. And just so you know, Avon has been adding a lot of new items for Men. So, if you’re looking for something fabulous for Dad for Father’s Day, stop on by and take a look around. There is new jewelry – stainless steel and genuine lapis, and also new skin care for Men. I’ll be posting about all that very soon.

Till next time, stay fabulous and always follow your joy!

Beauty for your Home, Autumn Scented Candles are Here!

Hello everybody! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I am super excited about the soon to be arrival of Autumn and the arrival of Autumn scented goodies – especially candles. They give you an overall atmosphere of the season, and the aromas of the Fall season are always so warm and inviting.

My husband and I looked through all the delicious candle choices that Avon is offering this season, and we had a hard time deciding which one to choose for our home (they’re all so enticing), but finally agreed on the Spiced Apple Cider Candle. There’s just something about the aroma of spices in the air this time of year that is so heart-warming and nostalgic.

We are both very happy with our choice. It smells really really good. AND — you know me and my candle-making sniffer – I detect the hint of creme brulee in the mix, along with the cinnamon and spice. (UPDATE: After burning for a longer period of time (after photographing), there is definitely a creme brulee yumminess in this candle. You know, like a creamy caramel aroma amid warming subtle spices – it’s just very delicious and comfy.) This is perfect for us, as we both love vanillas/brulee types of aromas too – so yay! Bonus!

The candle arrived nicely boxed and has a metal lid with the word Avon stamped onto it.

Avon candles always make great gift ideas. They are really nice and they are 3-wick candles that have a great burn time. These 11 oz sized jar candles have a 30 hour burn time.

So nice! Makes me feel all warm and cozy inside.

You can click here to see all the Autumn Candle Scent choices. And here is the link to the Spiced Apple Cider Candle. There are 5 Autumn/Fall scent blends to choose from: Maple Pumpkin Pancakes (We almost went with this one, and this aroma is also available in a cute ceramic pumpkin as well), Spiced Apple Cider – yay!, Creamy Vanilla Frosting, Fall for Berries, and Autumn Stroll. The 11 oz jar candles are listed at $12.99 each (regular price $19.99), and the ceramic pumpkin candle is listed at $14.99 (regular price $24.99).

I hope you pick your favorite for your home. Let me know which one you get! I’m always very interested in your choices too.

OH — I have some good news for you today as well. Avon is going to be offering Free Shipping tomorrow ( 8/27 only) on orders $25.00+. Use Code: FABULOUS at checkout. PLUS — Avon is now telling us that you will receive a Free Sample of their upcoming fragrance Live out Loud with any purchase, so Yay Yay! (I am double checking this fact as we speak — The first announcement said with any full sized fragrance purchase — So I will be updating this info here as soon as I get a response back from Avon.) UPDATE: You do receive a FREE sample of Live Out Loud with ANY Purchase made in C19 and C20!! HOORAY!! That’s so fabulous! Thank you Avon! ❤

Live Out Loud blends the aromas of sweet wild strawberry, sparkling mimosa and fluffy vanilla. I am so excited to try this one. It sounds so delish, and it will be launching in C22. We’re now in C19, so about 5 weeks from now.

Okay gang — I’m signing out for now. I’ll be back soon with more Avon fabulousness. Till then, I hope YOU stay fabulous!

First Aromas of Autumn

**Seasonal Candles arriving in Campaign 19!**

Hello everyone! Hope you’re doing fabulously!

It’s so exciting with Fall being right around the corner – Yay! It’s definitely one of my favorite times of year. I love smells, the crispness in the air – it’s just all kind of magical…

And speaking of smells in the air… I’m here to give you an inside peek preview at what delicious and delightful Autumn scents are arriving just next campaign for you!

Let’s begin with candles — glorious candles! If you’ve followed me for a bit you’ll know that I am a huge candle lover as well as an ex artistic candle maker. I loved making unique aroma blends. That was one of my most sought after designs for people – to have me make a unique aroma blend for them. So, I do enjoy a gorgeous scent blend, that is for sure.

And I will tell you that I have been very impressed with the Avon candles that I have tried thus far, and certainly look forward to trying these very tempting Autumn themed candles.

Here is a quote from Kate Berger, Avon Fragrance Brand Manager, on Avon’s approach to candles:

We’ve taken a whole new approach to candles! By working directly with world-renowned perfumers and using superior raw materials, we’ve increased the overall quality of the fragrance oil going into each candle.

I can tell you as a candle maker, the raw materials utilized make all the difference in the world. If you begin with inferior wax or fragrance oils, then you cannot achieve an awesome product, but with superior materials – you achieve a superior product. Makes perfect and easy sense – or scents!

And let’s get on with the scents, shall we? We know they’re going to smell fabulous, it’s just going to be tough to choose…

Creamy Vanilla Frosting Candle – Ohhhh…. they know my weaknesses! Haha! I’m a vanilla fiend! How about you? And this one has notes of vanilla frosting, sweet cupcake and creamy caramel. Get OUT!

Autumn Stroll Candle – This one’s description says – Breathe in the cool Autumn air with notes of crisp apple, red maple leaf and honeyed acorn. Sounds wonderful!

Fall for Berries Candle – Like a long walk in the woods, explore notes of cranberry, pink currant and crushed cassis. Berry is always a very pleasant aroma this time of year.

Spiced Apple Cider Candle – Now this screams Fall, don’t you think? It says, Welcome Fall with notes of apple cider, cinnamon and star anise. The perfect Fall scent combo!

Maple Pumpkin Pancakes Candle – This one has me intrigued for sure – It says, Let’s go pumpkin picking! Start your day with notes of golden pumpkin, buttermilk and maple syrup. That’s so unique and sounds really yummy. This aroma is available both in a jar as a 3 wick candle and also in a cute little ceramic pumpkin. You’ll get more burn time with the jar, but the ceramic pumpkin is just too cute for your Autumn decor.

Now, how about some fragrance for you to wear?

**New Autumn Berry Twist Fragrance** **Collection**

This smells really really good! How do I know? See that pink circle area? That’s a rub and smell patch! Yes, I’ve been taking pictures of my What’s New Book (preview book for Representatives) and giving you an inside view. This particular Campaign 19 preview book was just so exciting to me with all the Autumn previews that I had to share.

This collection consists of a Body Mist, Body Cream, Shower Gel, and Hand Cream, all priced separately. This is a limited edition collection. Here is the scent description for you: Tangy sweetness with ripened blackberries, luscious pomegranate, and a warm twist of amber spice. And I do concur that it is a very delicious berry aroma with a nice back note of the warm spice.

The Campaign 19 book will also have a scented page for you to try, so be sure to let Avon know that you’d like to receive a book when you place your Campaign 18 order – they will ask you during checkout. Bath time is going to be so luxurious, and you’re going to smell so pretty!

And, another fun fragrance collection for you!

This is Avon’s Stories Collection. It’s a collection of stories about scent to express all the beautiful sides of you – Isn’t that so fun and awesome!

There are 4 Scent Stories –

Skip a Beat Eau de Toilette – This is a Fresh fragrance with joyful notes of sparkling lemon blossom and fresh water lily.

Work Your Magic Eau de Toilette – Warm fragrance blended with hypnotic notes of lotus blossom and golden honey.

Something Amazing Eaude Toilette – Fruity fragrance with confident notes of juicy pomelo and vibrant solar florals.

Cloud Nine Eau de Toilette – Floral fragrance with blissful notes of blushing peony and creamy whipped vanilla.

So something for every story about you – a Fresh fragrance, a Warm fragrance, a Fruity fragrance and a Floral fragrance.

I do have Scratch and Sniff sample stamps of these. Let me know if you’d like to give any/all a try. If you’re a Campaign 18 customer, I’ll be happy to mail these samples for you to try – free!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this Autumn Aroma preview. Campaign 19 will begin Wednesday, August 21st, so mark your calendars! That’s when all of this fabulousness will be available. The Scent Stories are actually available now, priced at $9.99 each, original price is $17.00 each. But keep an eye out for the candles and Autumn Berry Twist collections.

Have fun shopping Campaign 18 and all it’s specials till August 20th – Be sure to click to receive your free Campaign 19 brochure upon checkout and also once you place your order, send me an email (jfaysbeauty@att.net) if you’d like me to send you some Scent Stories Scratch and Sniff samples. Yay!

Till next time – stay fabulous!

Scented Candles from Avon

The candles have arrived! So exciting! I wasn’t expecting them till Monday, but they came in Thursday. Just in time too, with all the storms we’ve been having here in Southeast Texas. And they smell soooooo good!! Wish there was smell-o-vision already!

I’m so impressed with these. They come in a really nice box as you can see. These are perfect for gifts, which, one of these is for my Husband’s Aunt’s 90th birthday. I think she’ll really love the Pink Prosecco Candle. It has the aromas of champagne and citrus with a hint of rose. I thought it would be the perfect celebratory candle for her.

I ordered the Melon Macaron Candle for our home. My Husband and I both love vanilla types of aromas and this one smells really really yummy. When I smell it I can almost taste it! And I have to tell you, I was a candle maker for 9 years, and I liked to load my candles with scent, and this one is really good. I cannot wait to burn it. The aromas in this one are sugared vanilla (oh yeah!), strawberries, watermelon, coconut milk and musk. It has a real depth to the smell. I’m impressed again.

And I like that they come with a nice lid too. It’s a vacuum type lid and seals in the aroma when not burning the candle. These candles have 30 hours of burning time. The heft is nice, they weigh 11 ounces. The glass is nice and thick, and the pictures are really pretty. So, for the price of these, they are really a fabulous find. They list originally at $19.99 each, but there is a special right now and you can get 2 for $24.00. Garden Party Candles this is the direct link to the special.

I hope you all have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend and that you’re staying high and dry. I’m hoping for a beautiful weekend myself, and I’m going to enjoy burning my new candle!

Cheers! Jfay
