Product Review

Ok, this blog was NOT created to push Avon's product line, but I just have to comment on the ANEW CLINICAL DERMA-FULL X3 FACIAL FILLING SERUM.

I got it in a Preferred Preview package, only because I forgot to call and cancel it, and I LOVE it!

I have used it for a few nights, and yes, I can see a difference already!

Do I look like a 20 yr old again? NO! Jeez, I really don't want to look 20 again....but let's face it: who doesn't want to look a little better, a little younger? And, not have to go through the pain and expense involved with medical procedures?

I am lucky in the genetic department--I come from a long line of women who always looked a lot younger than they actually were. My maternal Grandma lived to the age of 99-she looked more like someone in their mid to late 70s! She had great skin, and so did my Mom!

My skin and my daughter's too, is pretty decent. But let's face it---we are getting wrinkles and loss of elasticity, firmness in our faces as we age, even with Grandma's good genes!

Here's the scoop on it, directly from Avon:

new
INTRODUCING ANEW CLINICAL DERMA-FULL X3 FACIAL FILLING SERUM AND DERMA-FULL FACIAL FILLING CREAM†

Fullness perfected, not injected. First from Avon: injectable-grade facial filler now in topical treatments.

GET THE FACTS ABOUT HYALURONIC ACID

WHAT IS IT?
Naturally produced by skin, hyaluronic acid provides moisture and fullness from within—but production decreases with age.

WHY INJECTABLE-GRADE?
It is the same high-quality, powerful hyaluronic acid pure enough for dermatologists to use for facial-filling injections.


HOW DOES ANEW USE IT?
Anew has harnessed the power of injectable-grade hyaluronic acid to stimulate filling fibers to help restore youthful fullness and fill in deep folds.

†Derma-Full Serum and Cream should not be used together.

The quote above is from the "What's New", which is the Demo Book where we Reps can order products in advance. There's no link I can share, because it is from the Rep ordering site, so I just copied the info here.


ANEW CLINICAL Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum will be available in Campaign 7, for $54.00

There is also a CREAM version, not as strong as the serum; it will also be available in Campaign 7, for $34.00

Both are treatments, meant for night-time use; applied after cleansing, and before moisturizer of choice.

I LOVE this stuff, and hope my customers will love it too! Samples have been given, and are available on request, as always.

Catching Up, or TRYING To!

WOW! Things have been busy here, seems I am on the phone or doing computer and paperwork stuff all day long. After a period of extreme slowdown, now it's getting to be non-stop! And, that really is a GOOD thing!

Finally, appointments are happening, and orders are picking up again for the Avon. And, the Lead-Share thing is supposed to go 'live' next week. Last night, I read the Agreement, and marked the box for "I Agree", so I am IN!

We are just about at the end of the Avon year, and I am working hard, trying to help my Reps who are tracking for President's Club, to make it. OK, I'll admit it: I am really hoping to get as many as possible to PC; not just for them, but for ME. This year, there's an Incentive, where I can earn some extra bonus money for every 2 First Gen Reps that make PC or above. I need the extra money!!

There's an Avon Staff meeting on March 5th, in Brandon I think it is? I really want to go, but the problem is transportation. Brandon is about 70-80 miles from here, and I wouldn't trust my truck on the road trip.

My truck is not in the best shape! Speedometer and odometer broke a few years ago, leaking oil, gas mileage sucks! Oh yeah----don't forget the electrical issues going on: silly stuff, like the dome light comes on at random intervals, and so does the "door ajar" light. There's also the check engine light, O/D off light--they kind of do their own thing too. And, I simply do NOT have the money available to 'fix' all this! The truck is paid for, and still runs, so for now, it will do, for local deliveries and the usual trips to WalMart and the Dollar Store, so things could be worse!

Luckily, there's a chance I can meet up with a couple Reps from a neighboring district, and carpool. Otherwise, I'd just have to skip it!

Just Stuff!

It DID warm up today! I think it got up to 60, maybe? That's much better, even though it's still colder than I like. And of course, I know how bad it is elsewhere--that's ONE reason I live here instead of 'elsewhere'! ;)


There was another Avon Conference Call today. Still no solid date for the Online Appointment Roll-Out, but they are saying sometime in March. We'll see.

Just in from Twirl-
clairecmc: "Hysterical. Swarming Senators around candy drawer in back of Chamber" That must be a sight to see!

Also, according to Twirl, she doesn't think there will be a final vote until Sunday. Not really suprised there.

Speak of things economic: Normally, traffic is extremely sucky this time of year, because as it gets really cold up north, the snowbirds arrive in droves, and clog up the roads and everything else. Judging by traffic patterns, I think a whole bunch of them either stayed in the ice and snow, or went somewhere else! I tend to think they stayed home, due to the economy.

Ok, watching KO, and feeling ready for a glass of wine.

Today's AVON Conference Call

Some of the information and announcements covered, I had already heard, at the Seminar yesterday. Here's just a few things discussed today on the call.

1. Jennifer Hudson will sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl

2. Pre-Game AD: They will be airing the Avon Recruiting Ad, at approximately 621pm.

3. Incentives: Cash In On Orders. That one's going to be tough, even though it looks good on paper.

4. LEAD SHARING: DMs will be allowed to share leads with AUL and above, effective Super Bowl Sunday. They also said that the calls generated from the TV ads are routed to Springdale, instead of India.

5. President's Club/Double Dollars: This one's cool! PC and above will get "Double Dollars" award sales on ALL sales for C 6 + C 7. Normally, the Double Dollars are only on specific products, not all products sold.

6. National Conference: To be held in Vegas, the week of August 10th. The muckity-mucks on the call seemed unsure of exact dates, but we were told at the Seminar yesterday, that it will be Aug 12th - 13th. Cost: $99 And, this year, any Rep can go, regardless of Leadership level. Even non-Leadership can attend, although everything will be geared to the Leadership program.

7. Online Appointments: roll out nationally, “shortly after” the SEUL retreat, which is Feb 23rd.

Now, that right there IS exciting news!
