Outspoken by Fergie



Looks Like Fergie Has Another Hit!

But it's not her music I'm talking about, I’m talking about her award winning fragrances from Avon.


I just got my order of Outspoken Intense from Avon and in my opinion it's a winner! I spritzed it on this morning and now 6 hours later it still smells strong and wonderfully delicious. I can't stop smelling my wrist because it just smells so good! Now as you know with every fragrance, it really all comes down to personal preference as well as body chemistry and what may smell great on one person may not cut if for another but Outspoken Intense really does have a fresh lovely scent. I'm not one for the real "perfumey" type of fragrances so this fragrance suits me just fine. There are two varieties of  Outspoken by Fergie:


Outspoken by Fegie


Outspoken by Fergie
Eau de Parfum Spray (the original)

The original perfume made its debut in May 2010 and in May 2011 it won the Fifi 2011 New Fragrance Celebrity of the Year Award. Outspoken by Fergie has also been Avon’s best-selling fragrance launch ever. It also has become one of my personal favorites. The original Outspoken by Fergie has a berry & tuberose fragrance (tuberose has a sort of Gardenia & Jasmine type of scent) then the fragrance is injected with a contrast scent of leather. When I first tried Outspoken I liked it from the start. It’s a heavier scent but it’s light enough to still wear during the day

Eau de Parfum Spray(just released August 2011)

I thought I liked the original Outspoken by Fergie but now I think I like Outspoken Intense even better! Outspoken Intense by Fergie has a fruity citrus top note with a floral gardena/passion flower mid note. Just think of berries and kumquat along with passion flowers and gardenia. It smells really good! The two fragrances have completely two different smells but in my book are both winners.

Outspoken by Fergie (the original) and Outspoken Intense can both be purchased at Avon for around $30. Avon often has specials though so you may find it at times on sale for less or with an accompanying free gift. Check the Avon website for current prices and specials here.

Avon Collectibles: Holiday & Inspirational Gifts from Avon

Avon Collectibles BarbieWhen my son was a toddler, a close family member of ours “Tata” would always give him cute holiday gifts that he always looked forward to receiving. Whenever a holiday came along, his Tata would bring him toys that would sing & dance, holiday decorations or jewelry. One day I asked her, “Where do you get these cute gifts?” and she said, “Avon!” That brought me back to when I was young and remembered the Avon collectibles & gifts back then. My mom would never miss an opportunity to purchase those" now famous" Avon collectibles as gifts. My father had vintage cars, golf clubs, and chess pieces all in cologne decanter bottles, as well as beer steins and other gifts marked as “Avon Exclusive”. I remember receiving holiday jewelry, animal shaped soaps, figurines, dolls, and holiday decorations that were so unique you couldn’t find anywhere else. That was so long ago but it just goes to show you decades later, Avon is still delighting customers with their holiday gifts & collectibles.



You can still find Avon Collectibles on occasion in the Avon catalog & website; they will be marked as "Exclusive", "Special Avon Edition" or "first-to-market" items. Some Avon Collectibles will sometimes come with a certificate of Avon authenticity. They can also be branded or licensed products, numbered items such as Avon Steins, seasonal / sentimental dated items, or items designed exclusively for or by Avon. The top selling Avon collectibles are (in order): figurines, dolls, plush products, collector's plates, ornaments and steins.

Avon Collectibles, Seasonal Gifts and Inspirational items have always been a highlight in the Avon Catalog. I always look forward to browsing the catalog during a holiday season. Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas, you can always count on Avon to have something that will make the season fun & festive.


You can find Avon Holiday & Seasonal items before and during the holiday as well as after the holiday has passed. Past seasonal items are usually featured in the Avon Outlet catalog and clearance sections of the Avon Brochure and are usually on clearance, sometimes up to 60% off. I like to take advantage of the holiday clearance sales to give me a head start for the next year.

So the next time a holiday comes around don’t forget to check the catalog or website for unique Avon collectibles and gifts you, your family & friends will love. For more information on the value and availability of an Avon collectible item visit the Avon.com Collectibles FAQ page here.





Tiny Tillia for the Avon Baby!

Tiny Tillia


Did you know Avon has a boutique store just for babies ages two and under? In April 2011 Avon partnered up and launched the exclusive baby line called Tiny Tillia. But although new to Avon, the company has been around since 2006 and has been very popular in Hollywood.




You can spot celebrity mommies like Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Laila Ali among others all toting the baby products along with their little ones. But it's no surprise that it's a hit in Hollywood as Tiffany Lerman, the creator of the line, is Jackie Collins daughter.

The Tiny Tillia brand is based on eight playful characters who live in the land of Tiny Tillia. There is TT Cow, Jordy Bug, Duncan Dog, Dilly Pig, Rorsie Lion, Trace Frog, Chloe Mouse, & Austin Elephant. These playful pals can be found throughout the product line making bath time and playtime fun and interesting for babies.

The exclusive baby boutique offers fun natural baby products for the Avon Baby from Bath time, Playtime, Baby wear, Nursery Decor & more. You will find Tiny Tillia a fun playful place to shop for your baby and/or to give as a gift. The premium collection of Mom & Baby products can only be purchased from an Avon Representative online or through Storybook catalogs

Tiny Tillia Brochure


The Tiny Tillia Storybook catalog is the Avon catalog version for babies. Each Storybook has a two-campaign life cycle (about 4 weeks) and is available in English or Spanish. In each Storybook catalog you will find the entire product line, specials & sales, along with the Tiny Tillia story:

“Welcome to the Land of Tiny Tillia!
Once upon a time in a land of Tiny Tillia
kisses grew on trees
giggles sprouted like wildflowers
and sweet scents filled the air.
You won’t find it on a map
but hug your baby and in a snap
the Tiny Tillia bunch will appear
with wonderful products and plenty of cheer”
Customers can also order online at the Tiny Tillia website as well as create a baby registry or enter “Cute Baby” contests. Visit my Avon Representative Tiny Tillia website to view the adorable selection of products for baby and mom.
