In many parts of the country, winter has finally reared it's ugly head. No matter the season, you can experience spring anywhere with the new Avon fragrance, In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon. This sweet southern scent, created by Reese exclusively for Avon, combines delicate femininity with seductive allure. 

I've had the opportunity to try In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon and I really like it.  It's a floral, oriental?one of my favorite compositions. I liked the way the fragrance developed from the initial peach and floral blend to the warm wood and amber.  I also thought the packaging was very well done; the bottle is a golden hue, topped with a flower in full bloom and looks much more expensive than $34.

This fragrance sparkles with a provocative blend of notes, including:

• Top Notes of Georgia Peach Tea Leaves, Crisp Greens

• Mid Notes of Star Gardenia, Magical Magnolia, Night Blossoming Jasmine

• Base Notes of Cashmere Woods, Hypnotic Florals, Amber Wood Crystals

In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon Eau de Parfum retails at $34 for a 1.7 oz. bottle and is available through an Avon representative.

Uneven skin tone and discolorations (especially from sun damage) are some of the most frustrating skin conditions to treat, sometimes requiring a laser to completely eradicate. Before going that route, which is expensive, Avon would like you to add new ANEW Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum to your skincare arsenal.

Avon ANEW Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum is a dual formula that dramatically diminishes the appearance of dark spots and delivers a more radiant complexion?at a much more affordable price than laser treatments.  

This new serum is formulated with injectable grade L-Aspartic Acid to help inhibit melanin production and brighten your complexion.  A combination of additional glycolic acids, helps to remove dead skin cells.

I was sent a sample of Avon ANEW Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum to try and the first thing you notice is that within the clear serum, is a helix of the L-Aspartic Acid.  The serum has a gel-like texture, that once applied, takes a few minutes to absorb into skin.  I applied one pump to my cleansed face each evening (Note: if you?re sensitive to products containing silicones, this product might not be appropriate for you, as ?cones are listed in the ingredients).

I?ve used Avon ANEW Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum for about 6 - 8 weeks and in that time I?ve seen improvement/lightening in areas of sun damage.  Several spots are almost gone.  Skin texture has improved.  I do think Avon ANEW Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum, used consistently over time, can help improve the look of skin discolorations and texture.

ANEW Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum retails at $54 and is available exclusively through Avon Representatives. To locate an Avon Representative, call 1-800-FOR-AVON or visit www.avon.com.

Avon ANEW Clinical Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum is a new anti-aging serum formulated with the same injectable-grade Hyaluronic Acid used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons to fill in wrinkles and plump facial hollows.  Although I do have a few lines and wrinkles, I'm not brave enough to go "under the needle" just yet, so I was curious to try this product. It should be noted, however, that using a topical serum will not produce the same result as an injectable filler.

Avon ANEW Clinical Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum does use breakthrough technology to stimulate skin's own filling fibers and build the skin's natural reserve of Hyaluronic Acid.  Avon's consumer testing showed that in 2 weeks of use, 82% of women saw more youthful fullness in the cheek area and in 4 weeks, saw the look of facial folds and hollowness dramatically reduced.

I tried Avon ANEW Clinical Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum and used it for approximately 3 weeks.  During that time, I would say I noticed more improved fullness and lessening of facial and nasolabial folds.  It's worth trying, although don't expect to see results as dramatic as if you got injectable fillers; it's a more "softened" effect.

Avon ANEW Clinical Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum is a clear, slightly thick gel that you apply at night to a clean face.  You immediately notice your skin turns pink.  Because of the texture, you can tell that the product is on your skin.  I would not recommend using this product in the morning, as your face will have a shine to it.  I never experienced any burning or sensitivity from using the product in testing. 

Avon ANEW Clinical Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum retails at $54 and is available exclusively through Avon Representatives.  To locate an Avon Representative, visit www.avon.com or call 1-800-FOR-AVON.
