I promised you closer looks at all my Avon Swag Bag goodies, so here’s the first one. It’s a brand new fragrance that has not been launched yet called Artisan Cherry Vetiver Parfum. As you can see, I received a travel sized spray bottle. It’s really a nice size too. (Check out all the travel sized fragrances offered sometime.)
This smells really really good, and it smells really luxe too. Here is the description for you. I’m taking this right off the back of the box.
Crafted by our global master perfumers, Cherry Vetiver is an addictive mix of the finest curated ingredients. Sweet cherry blends with smooth Haitian vetiver for a captivating fragrance experience.
I looked up Haitian vetiver (you know I did!) and I found out that it is a fragrant grass with a complex earthy, woody scent, with light smokey undertones, and has been valued for its aroma since ancient times. It is an aroma that I’ve not smelled before. It is quite addictive, as it’s described. And, you know, I remember when they introduced this at the convention, it was mentioned that this is for both women and men. So it’s a unisex fragrance. I can definitely get that. This is just something that you need to try for yourself.
And guess what? You can – And you can before it officially arrives for sale. There is a travel sized bottle of Artisan Cherry Vetiver in this Campaign’s A-Box. And a head’s up – this Campaign (20) will be over this coming Tuesday afternoon, so yeah, you may want to head on over to get yourself one.

Hello everyone! How are you doing today? I hope very well, and staying cool.
I thought I’d share my very favorite face moisturizer with you all today (again). I just received my 4th jar, so I took some pics before I dove into it, to show you how awesome it is, from the jar, and how it arrives, to the look of the formula, well, actually 2 formulas that you stir together. Yeah, not to mention how awesome it makes my skin look and feel.
So here we go! My very favorite face moisturizer – ever – The Therapy Oil Blending Cream from Avon x The Face Shop.
As you can see, it arrives very nicely boxed. The jar is really pretty. I love the Old World French/European look to it (Which, this is derived from a 200 year old recipe. How cool is that?), and it has it’s own little stirring spatula.
When you first open the jar you’ll find this nice little seal with a cute heart pull-up.
How beautiful and luxurious is that? You get 2 layers of awesomeness.
The unique handmade blending formula has a bottom layer that boasts a highly-concentrated, rich moisture cream and a top layer consisting of fresh, natural essential oils.
Hand-blended essential oils are derived from a 200-year-old formulation of flowers, leaves and fruits to keep skin feeling nourished and looking younger.
KEY INGREDIENTS
• Sandalwood – Anti-aging; Used as a medicinal plant because of its anti-aging and rejuvenation properties.
• Avocado – Hydrating; Excellent for creating a long-lasting moisture barrier on skin and preventing moisture loss.
• Palmarosa – Nourishing; Delivers vitality and elasticity. Especially effective for treating and regenerating skin that’s damaged from the sun.
All you have to do is take the cute little stirring spatula and stir the formulas together. This only has to be done one time, and it will stay blended.
And there you go! This is so awesome. My skin drinks it up very quickly. There is no oiliness. The oil layer is more like a gel to me, and then combined with the rich cream, it’s just amazing. This cream is not dense or heavy. It’s very lightweight and does not leave any oily residue upon my face. Just makes my skin feel really nice and moisturized. I can apply makeup after putting this on, and I always apply it in the evening to a clean face (I always cleanse with Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser. This is an amazing product as well. I’m sure you’ve seen my blog posts about this one. I see it’s back on a Wait List, so be sure to get on it. This is a best seller and sells out frequently.). I use The Therapy on my neck and chest area too. I use upward strokes on my neck up to my jawline and continue an upward motion. It’s best to apply skin moisturizers the way you want your skin to continue going – up! I also use this around my eye area as well and it does great.
I love that this product is made using natural ingredients. As I’ve said before, that is a huge plus with me. I have very sensitive skin, and it really loves and responds to natural ingredients the best. This face moisturizer has been very gentle for my skin and has become one of my best friends. As soon as I see the jar begin to get low, I order some more asap.
The list price for The Therapy is $45.00, but you know you get a discount when you shop my Avon store, so for you it is $36.00. One jar will last me a little over a month, and I use it everyday for my face, neck, and chest, so that’s really a great price. I use it sparingly, as to me it is precious oils, so I dot in on all over here and there and then rub into my skin. If I need more, I just get a little dab more.
I sometimes follow this up with Green Goddess Facial Oil. This is also an amazing product made with CBD and other natural oils. It is great if I have some sensitive areas with any redness or blotchiness. I just dab it on where needed. It is very soothing to my skin.
I hope you enjoyed this blog post today, and that you too will give The Therapy Oil Blending Cream a try, and love it as much as I do.
I wanted to share my favorite facial cleanser with you again today. I just cannot get enough of this stuff. I’ve been using a free sample that Avon sent me a while back – you can see the small tube in the picture above. I decided to purchase the larger tube, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the nice large size that it is. I couldn’t tell from the advertising pictures that the tube was this large, so yeah, I’m very happy to have this.
The Rice Water Bright facial foaming cleanser is made with rice water — the milky white water that comes from rinsing rice. It is enriched with vitamins A, B, and E, ceramide, soapwort extract (to keep skin looking clear and bright), and minerals. This foaming cleanser is actually a cleanser and moisturizer in one.
I love how my face feels after I wash with this. The texture of the Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser is like whipped cream.
It is very rich and creamy, but yet you do not get any greasy residue after rinsing at all. My face feels very clean and lightly moisturized.
And it smells very pretty. I’ve described the aroma to you before as smelling like soft pink. If soft pink had an aroma, this is what it would smell like to me. It is not a strong perfumy aroma at all, very light and pleasant.
This cleanser is a pleasure to use. That is my best description. The texture is a pleasure – it has a pearlesque look to the cream. The aroma is a pleasure, and the way my face looks and feels after use is a pleasure. It foams up very nicely when you add a bit of water while washing your face.
You’ve gotta try it! I really think you’ll love it.
The price is $11.00 for this very large tube, regularly $13.00, so a great deal as well.
I follow my Rice Water Bright facial cleansing with The Therapy Oil Blending Cream which has sandalwood, avocado and palmarosa leaves. I feel totally pampered, and I love using facial products with natural ingredients.
I also wanted to note that I left the outer plastic covering on my new tube of Rice Water Bright to let you see that it arrives nicely sealed. After removing the plastic covering there is also a seal when you unscrew the lid. So no one’s had their nose to it giving it a smell or opening it and giving it a try. It is fresh and brand new, and delivered right to you! This is a very important factor to me when I purchase personal care items, and yet another reason why I love Avon, and love ordering my products from them. I feel confident that my products are safe.
Okay, well, that’s going to do it for me today. You know I’ll be back with more Avon goodness to share with you very soon. We’ll be going dental hygiene next time with some new Perioe products that I just purchased from Avon – they’re really cute and cool, so stay tuned!
Happy Monday everyone! How are you doing? Hope you’ve had some good news your way. Seems like things are finally moving in a more positive direction. So happy!
And speaking of happy, I was so happy to receive my very own care package from Avon the other day. I went with a skin moisturizing theme for my package. It’s always comforting to have soft, well moisturized skin all over.
And in my care package, my number 1 must-have item was The Therapy Oil Blending Cream. I LOVE this so much. I had ran out, and decided to wait till the next campaign to order more. Big mistake. It was horrible being without it! I’ll not make that mistake again. But anyway… I wanted to show you how this incredible oil/cream formula arrives, and what you’ll experience upon opening.
Can you see that there is a top layer of essential oils? Underneath is the cream formula. Do not worry, the top layer is not runny. It has more of a light gel consistency. That’s one of the really cool features of this oil blend facial cream.
Here is Avon’s full description:
The Therapy Skin Care Hand-blended essential oils are derived from a 200-year-old formulation of flowers, leaves and fruits to keep skin feeling nourished and looking younger.
BENEFITS • Leaves skin visibly smooth and glowing with essential oils that provide an all-in-one blending formula of anti-aging + hydration + nourishing • Sandalwood (anti-aging), avocado (moisturizing) and palmarosa leaves (nourishing)
Fresh Oil Carrier Technology The secret is in the formula! Low temperature technology is used to meticulously blend the top and bottom layers to deliver deep moisture and a smooth hydration barrier on the skin’s surface.
KEY INGREDIENTS • Sandalwood – Anti-aging; Used as a medicinal plant because of its anti-aging and rejuvenation properties. • Avocado – Hydrating; Excellent for creating a long-lasting moisture barrier on skin and preventing moisture loss. • Palmarosa – Nourishing; Delivers vitality and elasticity. Especially effective for treating and regenerating skin that’s damaged from the sun.
TO USE Use AM and PM as necessary. On first use, blend oil and cream with spatula provided. Use on cleansed skin, following any treatments.
You only have to blend it the one initial time. It stays together as a very rich, but light cream. This goes into my skin very well and is not greasy in the least bit. My skin drinks it up. I just dab it all over – a bit on my cheeks, forehead, nose, chin, and neck areas and then rub in all over in light circular motions. I like to follow up with the Green Goddess Facial Oil. A little of this goes a long way, and helps with any red blotchiness as it calms and eases the skin.
I decided to also treat my hands, feet and lips to some extra moisturizing. My hands have been really dry lately, so I oped for the Avon Care Silicone Glove Hand Lotion. This formula is protective and locks in moisture. It really has worked for me. My hands feel so much better when I’m wearing it. And when I wash my hands, I can still feel it. And bonus – It comes safety sealed.
For my feet, I went for the maximum strength Cracked Heel Cream in Avon’s Footworks line. I have a small area that is beginning to cause an issue, so I thought I’d give this foot cream a try.
This is very calming and comforting for sure. I will be keeping this on hand all the time. Just think when Summer hits and we’ll all be wearing sandals and out in the sun and surf. This will really come in handy. So you may want to stock up and be ready. Avon has a full line of foot creams, here’s a link so you can browse and find a formula perfect for your foot care needs.
Avon’s Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing and Repair Lip Treatment. Wow, that’s a mouth-full! Haha! But seriously, this is some serious moisture for lips, and it’s fragrance free, which I love for a lip treatment. I was actually quite surprised at how light the formula is. I was expecting something perhaps a bit more heavy feeling, but this is really light and easy to wear.
So there you have it! My very own skin care, self-care package! I love my Avon products so much and find that I gain even more favorites the more I try different ones.
I hope you curate a fabulous self-care package all your own. I’d love to see pictures of what you get!
And don’t forget Mom — Mother’s Day is coming up very quickly now, and hopefully you’ll be able to see and hug your dear Mother by then. Put together a fabulous care package for her. Here’s a link to Avon’s Mother Day Gift Guide. No excuses now!
This week holds a lot of excitement. Campaign 11 begins officially Wednesday, so I have a lot of goodies to share with you. There is a lot of new products being released. Not only in Campaign 11, but in the campaigns after that as well. Can’t wait to share it all with you!
Till then, be safe, feel good, and always be fabulous and follow your joy!

This Oil Blending Cream feels sooooo luxurious upon my skin. It smooths right into my skin very quickly and does not leave a greasy residue at all. My skin looked brightened after just a few uses. This is the best face cream. I really did notice a difference. I now own the full-sized jar and I am ecstatic! It comes with a little spatula so you can blend the formula before your first use. It will stay blended. It has a really pretty soft aroma, and I love that it has natural ingredients. I’m always in for natural when possible.

And, with my order I also re-stocked on my favorite hand lotion, Avon’s Moisture Therapy, Calming Relief.
I do not know how many tubes I’ve used of this already. I have it on hand all the time. I couldn’t wait for my order to arrive – I was out of hand lotion – Oh NO!!!! Well, I have some of the holiday lotions in my bedroom, but this formula stays in my kitchen area for after washing my hands. It does not have an aroma and is very soothing. Here is Avon’s official description:
This Moisture Therapy hand cream is for dry, itchy skin. Made with pure oatmeal to quickly relieve itch. 4.2 fl. oz.
This lotion is on special for $2.50 – regular price is $6.00. And you can see it’s a nice sized bottle. May want to get 2 so you do not run out like I did!
Avon has been introducing more and more new products that contain natural ingredients, including their new Green Goddess Facial Oil, and now their very own Essential Oil Blends for Aromatherapy called Minding My Mood, so be sure to stay tuned for even more fabulous product introductions.
Okay gang, I am signing out for now. I hope you get your paws on some of this fabulous skin care to keep the winter dryness at bay and look fabulous while you’re doing so. You always look fabulous, dah’ling! And now you’re feeling ultra luxe at the same time.
