I certainly do have the best job. Not only do I get to meet some pretty amazing people, support some wonderful initiatives and advertising campaigns and yes, have a voice in the media from time to time – I also get to try a ton of new products and sample things I might not have otherwise tried (I also share with my friends!)
It’s always a treat to try a variety of items, that’s why gift-bags from events are always popular, or surprise bags from the makeup counter. So, beauty bundles that are put together by a brand at a great price are always attractive and worth a mention!
Check out the Purely Glowing Tote Bundle from Avon, which includes some favorites like:
– Anew Vitamin C Brightening Serum, 30 ml
– Anew Clinical Eye Lift Pro Dual Eye System, 20 ml
– Avon True Color Nourishing Lipstick in Candy Red, 3 g
– Avon True Color Glimmersticks Lip Liner in True Red, 0.28 g
– Heart Tote, nylon with saffiano-textured patch. Fully lined.
Total value of this bundle is $113, but customers can purchase it from Avon for $59.99 regular price! It’s a great way to try these products (and then fall in love!) Don’t have an Avon representative in your neighbourhood? I find the best way to find one is just to ask on social media, friends are always happy to share referrals!
