Not too long ago, Avon sent me to a massive shopping spree. You can very well assume that yes, I did shop my heart out. I first scoured over the fragrance section and scored the following:

In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon EDP. Outspoken Intense by Fergie EDP. Simply Because For Him EDT.

In Bloom (50ml, $34) smells so exquisitely shala. It’s a clean, floral EDP my mom and I are sharing at the moment that’s getting much raves everywhere. It’s a scent that develops light and not too warm on me. I’d wear this over and over at work or on a date over deli and wine. Outspoken Intense (50ml, Php 999) on the other hand is for those days when you want to steal the scene (in a good way, naturally) and be the center of attention. It’s a very juicy, floral fruity scent that’s guaranteed to turn heads. Simply Because For Him (50ml, Php 800) is a great scent for all the great looking SOs we’ve got. *wink* It’s not too cool yet fresh and has those lingering light musky notes. Mmmmm.

I next dove for the accessories. These icy wonders from the Avon Fashions Premium Collection are amazing stocking stuffers!

Magic Collection
Necklace (Php 499), Earrings (Php 499), and Ring (Php 499)

Parisienne Bloom
Necklace (Php 699), Earrings (Php 450), Ring (Php 699), and Bracelet (Php 699)

Apart from the jewelries, two totes from the Manzinni line were launched last November (you saw the beige one here). I nabbed both of them in a snap! :)

Manzzini is Avon’s first premium bag collection. It is a line of timeless and elegant bag pieces that can take women from being stylish to becoming confident. This newest bag collection is made of high quality material and hardware, adhering to strict quality standards. The name Manzzini was derived from Via Mazzini, a fashion street in Italy reflecting the designs of the collection. The premiere bag line takes inspiration from a Manzzini woman who travels around the world — as she eats, shops and loves.

My last stop: the underwear section. Can I just say this out loud: Avon makes the prettiest and sturdiest undies! They amazingly survive my not-so grand laundry skills! LOL The duo I got’s so pretty and comfy I’m thinking of ordering another pair for backup. :)
