Avon Holiday Collection and Gift Guide 2019

When it comes to Christmas no one celebrates like Avon. Their website is your one-stop-shop for everything merry and bright including home accents, beauty, makeup, fashion, jewelry and more.

To create glamorous holiday looks I highly recommend the Limited-Edition Dream in Color Eye Palette ($18.00). If you’re buying this for a makeup lover on your list, do yourself a favor and get two. Once you see how gorgeous these shades are you won’t want to give it up.

I love all 16 colors in this long, stylish compact and the pigmentation is fantastic! Some shadows have dazzling shimmer or glitter while others are bold and metallic. You’ll love the buttery texture and sparkling jewel tones. The copper, garnet and gold are perfect for parties and look stunning on everyone.

There aren’t many mattes to work with but these colors don’t need any help making an impression. For longer wear, use a good primer and resist the urge to blend. Apply in firm strokes, swiping in one direction to maintain the intensity and prevent fallout. The shadows have a stunning foil effect which makes them a tad chunky before the flakes are smoothed onto the skin.

Pro Tip: Apply the shadow before foundation and place tape under your eyes for easy clean up.

The Limited-Edition Be Bold Lipsticks ($12.00 ea) make great stocking stuffers and secret Santa gifts. There are 3 vivid shades available: Power Pink, Plum Perfect and Rule in Red.

The creamy matte formula is comfortable, lightweight and supple with a vibrant full-coverage finish. Each box has a cute feminine print and the elegant silver tubes are covered in shiny glitter.

The Limited-Edition Time to Shine Palette Collection ($35.00) is a 3-piece gift set that is sure to inspire creativity.

Positive Vibes Only contains 12 soft, frosty shadows that just scream winter. The icy blues, cool silvers and fresh gold tones are shimmery yet neutral - great for daytime wear.

Reach For The Stars is more dramatic with a range of sparkling red, green ivy and purple.

The face palette has 1 blush, 2 highlighters and 1 universal bronzer with silky buildable coverage. I am not a huge fan of the pink blush but the other shades are usable. 

If you need a few travel-friendly makeup brushes, the Limted-Edition I am Flawless Set ($22.00) is cute and functional. It may not be professional quality but you can toss them in your purse or gym bag for touch-ups on-the-go.

Dry skin is not cute and chances are most of your family and friends will appreciate good skincare this season. The Skin So Soft Supreme Nourishment Collection is enriched with coconut oil and vitamin E to soften, soothe and deeply moisturize. The scent is light and alluring with a hint of sweetness.

Lather up with the Oil Wash ($9.99) so your skin is ready to be pampered with the lush, quick absorbing Body Milk ($9.99). If you prefer rich creams, the Body Soufflé ($9.99) will leave you feeling soft and supple for 24 hours.
