Pictured: Avon’s Quilted Handbag in Black Could be Yours Its time for another fabuless Holiday Giveaway in our series! I’m giving away this beautiful and practical carry all Avon quilted handbag in black. This bag is a perfect winter bag and holds the most important tools in the shopper/blogger kit including: makeup, wallet, shopping circulars, a laptop and a Blackberry/crackberry. How do I know? Elementary dear reader. This handbag is The Recessionista tested just like a car is tested for driving capability! 
So here is what you need to do to win this winter bag. Tell me what you like on Avon.com by Thursday, Dec. 17th by midnight PST. What is your favorite Avon find? , To enter to win simply leave me a comment with e-contact information (leave your email like this: xxx at yahoo dot com so the spammers can’t pick it up).
I’ve recently rediscoved Avon via their website. Until recently, I had no idea that they had more than cosmetics & perfume. Their site offers kids’ clothing, toys, jewelry and fashion accessories. Plus the new Unargo makeup and body washes. I’ve been really impressed by the variety and quality for price delivered. Let me know how you feel. Also, have any of you tried the new Reese Witherspoon Avon “Bloom” perfume? What’s the 411 on Reese for Avon–good perfume or marketing hype? Let me know if the new perfume is your favorite thing! A second prize of a quilted Avon wallet in white will be awarded too!
Happy Holidays readers!! Scrooge? Bah Humbug, not when The Recessionista is on the case. Not while there are coins still ringing in my wallet and coupons to be clipped. If the miserly Scrooge had known about Avon, he might have been a little more giving. He might not have felt so bitter about Christmas because he could’ve given something to both his nephew Fred and Tiny Tim for cheap. And the gift would’ve looked so rich, that no one would’ve known how little he spent. And Fred’s wife could’ve been very well gifted for a few quid. So many problems might have been solved with just a little shopping therapy. But I digress.

I like all the fashion on Avon.com – especially the necklaces and tops. My favorite Avon find is the Smooth Minerals makeup. Once I tried these, I said, “I will never use anything else!” This makeup feels so natural and looks so natural. I love it!

Ooops, there is a typo in my email address on my first comment. It should be: mabulenc at twcny dot rr dot com
Thanks!
I love the ANEW moisturizer for daytime– well worth the price but I usually buy extra when it is discounted — I have seen the quilted bag and it is great — would love to have it!

I'm a big fan of Avon's Ideal Shade Cream-to-Powder Foundation. It glides on beautifully, has SPF 15, and is very reasonably priced.
I've ben eyeing the mark Leader of the Rack dress. It's a bit offbeat, and I welcome that.
Thanks, Avon, for the giveaway.

My favorite is the Hollywood Lights Lip Gloss!! It's perfect no matter where you are with a built in light.

Wow! I didn't know AVON made stuff besides makeup. That's kind of awesome
I checked out the website and the Mirror Shine Sparkle Bangle Watch looks like it belongs on my wrist!
Thanks for the giveaway and great blog!

I have been eyeing the 12-in-1 eye pallet for quite some time. I love that I would have all my colors at my fingertips.

Hmm, hard to choose. I like the bath paints for kids. My kids get really excited about bath time with these.

I actually love shopping at Avon. They have great merchandise. And their clothing are very affordable and are great quality, especially the mark brand. Right now they have this mark Knot Me Convertible Cardigan for 14.99, I love it. I ordered one for my sister. – Thanks!

Forgive me but I'm a traditionalist. I LOVE Avon's Naturals…ALL of 'em. However, if I were to splurge I'd go for that U by Ungaro fragrance.
