Yesterday Avon embarked upon their annual beauty bus tour, taking over the city in a cute pink vintage beauty bus which was packed with beauty must haves from this season and the next. I caught up with them outside Vogue House in Hanover Square, where the fabulous girls at Vogue were dropping by to get their nails done by celebrity nail artist Kim Treacy (who told me she just did Kiera Knightly's nails last week) and lips painted by celebrity makeup artist Liz Pugh whilst catching up on all that's new with Avon.
From their origins of intimate community selling Avon is built on the legacy of listening to women's feedback to create products that actually work, that women really want, at prices we can all afford. As well as community sales, modern Avon also operates online as a convenient one stop online beauty store haven, meaning your beauty Christmas shopping just got one click easy. I was thoroughly impressed with their Christmas 2014 collection as well as their SS15. Both are filled with great, quality products I was all too happy to get my hands on. Read on for a Christmas gift guide & to see what SS15 has to offer.

My nails were done using Avon Gel Finish & gold glitter, for a modern seasons take on the classic french tip. I love it!

SS15 The collection:
This spring summer Avon launches their exciting wax free lipstick, in 15 shades of awesome. Wax free means that it won't clump on your lips, or cake. I had the pleasure of trying it myself, and can attest that the colour is unstoppable, seriously- a coffee and a croissant later, and it still hasn't worn off. What's more is it has a luxurious moisturising texture to it, keeping your lips looking luscious. The lipsticks will launch in January, so keep your eyes peeled online at www.avonshop.com
