Mark by Avon MOD Collection Review – Holiday 2017

Even though fall has just begun, it’s never too late to start thinking about the holidays! I have already started checking people off my gift giving list and testing exciting new beauty products. The mark MOD collection features fun graphic prints, comforting winter scents and bold pops of trendy color.

I’m the kind of girl who is not afraid to wear vibrant shadow and make it look perfectly acceptable for all occasions. The key is applying a good primer, using shades that match well and blending until your arm falls off to create the perfect gradient. The Mod Pop Eye Shadow Palette ($25.00) has a variety of playful shades including orchid, glistening pink, sparkling orange and bright aqua contrasted with neutral hues like navy, soft pink and silver. The formula is silky, smooth and soft but I recommend a color intensifying base and applying a few layers to enhance the color.

I am totally obsessed with Avon’s Cherry Jubilee Lipstick and Nail Polish because the sultry, dark wine color is perfect for fall! I received these items in the Joyful Makeup Collection 5-Piece Set but the lipsticks usually retail for just $10.00 and I love the moisturizing satin finish.

The polish matches the lipstick perfectly which is stylish for holiday parties.

The MOD collection also includes fabulous body products with the same geometric print. The fragrance ($38.00) is composed of capucine florals and rose spiked with scrumptious nutmeg. Don’t be alarmed by the spicy notes, the aroma is pleasantly sweet, well balanced and surprisingly comforting. For some reason I just can’t get enough of this scent! It is fades beautifully and makes you smell very alluring. The Body Lotion ($14.00) has the same great aroma and the rich, creamy texture leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated.

Avon is available online at avon.ca and through independent consultants. 

Avon 2015 Holiday Collection & Gift Guide!

Who’s ready to deck the halls, light the tree and break out the eggnog?! I’m not ashamed to admit that the day after Halloween I got right into the holiday spirit and started scheduling events, singing carols and watching all my favorite festive films. I also got a head start on my gift list to avoid long lines, packed parking lots and pushy crowds. Avon has a wonderful variety of products to choose from including cute stocking stuffers, fluffy slippers, beauty products, fragrances and skincare. In fact their website can be your one-stop destination for all things Christmas.

This year some of my fabulous finds include these colorful mugs etched with inspirational quotes. They come wrapped with pretty ribbon, gift tags and matching coasters so you can gift them separately or as a set!

These mugs make cute gifts for friends, family, neighbors and even teachers and you can stuff them with a few other goodies like Avon’s adorable hand creams and matching lip balms. 

The mugs are great for parties and are made of quality porcelain that is dishwasher safe. Your loved ones will definitely enjoy waking up to a positive message everyday as they sip their favorite hot beverage.

The set retails for just $12.99 which is a steal and they are great for parties!

Avon's variety of festive hand creams and lip balms with cheerful little holiday characters are ideal for stocking stuffers or baskets! Giving the gift of supple skin and winter protection is always a great idea and these formulas alleviate dry skin and rough cuticles. The small tubes are the perfect purse size and retail for $4.00 while the lip balms are just $2.00 each!

Who wouldn’t love coming home after a long cold day and slipping those tired feet into soft, memory foam slippers! The Pop of Plaid design comes in 2 colors- dark purple and teal green and these fluffy feet warmers support your arches in plush, cozy comfort! You can pick them up for $19.99 and they usually go on sale for as little as $12.99 each.

Avon’s Metallic Fringe polish has been a hit this year as more women dapple in the world of nail art and the silver strips look like shiny tinsel! For an easy gift idea you can create a little package of lacquer and nail accessories in a range of pretty colors. The polish retails from $2-$8.

For the makeup junkies out there Avon has an extensive selection of products and one of my favorite brands is mark cosmetics. This glitzy set comes with a glam clutch/case and 5 pro brushes that are soft and super trendy! The clutch is a statement piece on its own so you can attend those holiday parties and take your touch-up tools with you. The set retails for $36.00.

As far as fragrances go Avon has hit it out of the park this year with an abundance of amazing, swoon-worthy scents! If you want to smell irresistible this holiday Sparkle is a wonderful fragrance that transitions from day appropriate allure to party time fun!
