My Top Picks For Campaign 15

This campaign has so many great deals in it - it makes it hard for this lover of Avon to pick but I'm going to do my best to narrow it down. ;o)

First I have to start off with this AMAZING new product: Anew Clinical Expression Line Filler (see page (6/7). I've been using this system for almost two weeks now and I very impressed that I'm already noticing the a reduction in my "expression lines" (we don't use the dreaded word of "wrinkles" here at Avon Calling. *wink*). Even better is that when you order the Expression Line Filler you receive Anew Clinical Thermafirm Face Lifting Cream for FREE! I've been using this cream for over a year now and I love, love, love it. And at a regular $39.00 value, I'd say free is a pretty darn good price.

Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now and share the rest of my picks for C15 with you.

* pg. 2 Ultra Luxury Liners for - $1.99

* pg. 3 Eight-In-One Eye Palette - $11.99 (For my 2 cents - The Paradise Greens is nice for this season but my absolute favorite is the Neutral Tones palette, which gives you the perfect range of colors to go from subtle to sultry as you wish. Don't let the word "Neutral" fool you.)

*pg. 20/21 Sweet Honesty. 5 products for $14.99!!! This is a nice, gentle scent for everyday/work wear.

*pg. 22/23 Goddess Eau de Parfum. This is one of my all time favorite scents ever and on for a seriously great price - $9.99 vs. the regular price of $28.00.

YUMMY SCENTS FOR MEN:
*pg. 28 Blue Rush - 1/2 price at 10.99

*pg. 30/31 Perceive - 1/2 price again!

*pg. 32 Derek Jeter: Driven for $19.99. HOT! HOT! HOT! That's all I'm going to say.

*pg. 36 Glazewear - $3.99

*pg. 38 Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara - $2.99

*pg. 39 Glimmersticks Waterproof Eye Liner - $3.99

*pg. 64/65 Anti-Aging Sunscreen - 2 for $12.99 (with any brochure purchase)

*pg. 74 Curves Digital Weight Tracker Scale - $69.99. you have to read the info on this item. This scale is awesome. And case it becomes a question - it can be personalized for up to 10 people.

*pg. 146 Fresh and Smooth Silky Stay Shave Gel - $3.99. I tried this item last campaign and it works fabulously.

*pg. 149 Gelled Body Oil - $5.99

*pg. 152-157 Three for $10.00 Mix and Match. It's far too hard to pick any one (or three products here as they're all great but I will tell you that the Advance Techniques Shampoos and Conditioners are amazing (and very similar to Pantene) and the Tropical Coconut Foot Lotion is so soothing.

As always I can't speak highly enough of Avon's bubble baths and Skin So Soft products. If you haven't already looked them over check out my posts: Avon Bubble Bath and Avon Skin So Soft.
There are just so many uses for both of them and they're on sale.
*pg. 158/159 Bubble Bath - 2 for $10.00 in the jumbo size and the Skin So Soft Bath Oil for $12.99 - also jumbo size (sorry due to a glitch in the online brochure this page isn't visible).

And last but not least:
*pg. 170 - Care Deeply Aloe Vera Gel - $1.99. Perfect for the summer due to its natural soothing and cooling effects and to keep on hand for unexpected sunburns.

My Mark catalogue picks remain the same as the new Mark books only come out every 2 campaigns.

And remember, you can back order from the previous 2 campaigns as well. Here are the links:
C13 Brochure
C14 Brochure

Happy shopping, my friends. And remember campaign 15 orders are due July 21st and don't forget about the $100.00 Avon product giveaway contest (like you would *grin*).

***side note: I want you all to know that I don't promote Avon's products just as a rep. I've been a long time buyer of Avon, and my love for their products started many years before I myself started selling it. I would never promote any product or company that I didn't believe in.

New Campaign Beginning and Contest Extension

It just gets better and better....Campaign 15 has some awesome deals in it! My hot picks list will be posted soon.

In the meantime - there were no winners for the contest I ran during Campaign 14. I tend to get over excited when I start something new and I really didn't leave you guys with much notice. So what with the short notice, people having summer fun, summer holidays and busy lives I figure I'll extend the contest and let it run for two campaigns (15 and 16).

With the exception of the ending date - midnight on August 2nd - it's the same contest, same rules and same prizes. Click here to see the contest post: It's Contest Time .

Campaigns run every 2 weeks and one thing to keep in mind is that you can always back order up to 2 campaigns. So that being said here are the links to the previous two campaigns:
C13 Brochure

C14 Brochure

So browse away, enjoy the pleasure of picking out things you deserve at your own comfort, invite your friends to do the same and above all have fun with your Avon experience - you owe it to yourself.

And for any of you on FaceBook, I welcome you to join my Avon group at: Pamela's Avon Order Group.

As always, any questions, comments or suggestions are always welcome.

Cheers,

Just a Few Things That I Should Make Sure I Clear Up

It seems that I may not have clarified a few things regarding ordering Avon via the links. So I'm going to break it down here as best as I can. And as always, any questions that you have, please don't hesitate to ask.

For those of you visiting my blog via FaceBook, no you (and or your friends/family) do not have be a part of FaceBook to order using the brochure links. There are a few ways that this can be done:

- You are more than welcome to send them the links, either through email, or even on through the links themselves. If you go into the brochures, you'll see that the last box on the top right hand side is a "Contact Your Friends" button.

- You are also more than welcome to send them my email address (Pamela.AvonRep@gmail.com) and I can sent them the links.

- They can also me right here at "Avon Calling" at where I'll always have the links to the newest brochures posted as well as some insight and info into Avon products.

- When you're referring friends to make sure they let me know that you've sent them - especially if you're taking part of the contest I've set up. ;o)

- Also, make sure anyone who is placing an order knows that they need to pick it up from me (or from you if those arrangements are easier - that's your call). And that to compensate for the fact that I can't bring them their orders (due to the fact that I don't drive) - their orders will always be tax free!

And one last thing: When you (or your friends/family) are placing an order here's the info that I'll need: the page # of the product you want (and which brochure it's in), product description and the product number (which is the 6 digit number following the product description in the brochure).

Now don't forget the AMAZING contest that is currently in full swing: It's Contest Time!
The contest ends next Saturday, July 5th and I know you don't want to miss out on this. :o)

And don't forget to show some love and leave me a comment (comments are located here at the bottom right hand side of each post).

Hope everyone had a great Canada Day!!! Talk to you soon and keep those entries coming in.
