Avon has recently released a fresh fragrance for men called Christian Lacroix Noir ($28 for 2.5 oz). The launch took place right around Father's Day and is a spicier and more arresting sequel to his 2007 Rouge fragrance. Like the famous designer’s clothes and personal style, this scent was clearly created with passion and fervor.

America's sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon, sure is working doubletime as the Avon spokesperson by participating in the Avon Foundation Walk For Breast Cancer in Washington, DC this weekend. Not only do I love her for being such a do-gooder, but she's pretty darn adorable in that plaited ponytail.
Becoming the new Avon lady means that we'll be seeing much more of that crisp smile and beautiful skin in the coming months.

Man, is Avon on fire or what. First it announces an Ungaro fragrance deal, then a Marimekko makeup collection, and now it's getting up close and personal with McDreamy. The brand has signed Patrick Dempsey to a fragrance deal, meaning that he'll not only smile pretty for advertisements, he'll also be involved in the development of the scent itself.
Jillian Dempsey, his wife of nearly nine years, is Avon's Global Creative Color Director, which probably made the deal go smoothly.

Now that Reese Witherspoon's deal with Avon is out of its beginning stages, we're seeing how her role as the "brand ambassador" is shaping up. Avon has announced the late summer debut of men's and women's fragrances from designer Emanuel Ungaro, and Reese will be the face of the fragrance. Expect to see her in print ads and TV commercials, and don't be surprised if she starts wearing Ungaro to red-carpet events.

Building on the success of her cosmetics partnership with Avon, designer Cynthia Rowley is planning to launch a new scent with the brand. Actually, make that two scents, as she's bringing a mother-daughter fragrance duo to the market.
Launching in the US in May, Flower and Petal are coming out just in time for Mother's Day. “The idea was to create two fragrances, one for mother and one for daughter, intended to work together or independently,” Cynthia explains on the fragrance microsite.

As I am sure you all know by now, Avon is a huge supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In addition to offering a variety of "pink ribbon products" such as this Breast Cancer Lip Balm with SPF 15 ($1.50, with all profits donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade), the company sponsors several walks to raise money for breast cancer research and prevention.
If you are wondering what you can do to help on the last days of the month, this lip balm is an affordable way to make a contribution.
