Though they aren't something that has been in my collection in recent years, I have a really, really special place in my heart from fragrances from Fruits & Passion. Weirdly enough it's because 20 years ago now (how am I this old??) my first love wore an aftershave from F&P and I fell so completely in love with the scent of it that I've always held onto that affection for their scents. So, of course, I was really excited to open a box from Avon and find Fruits & Passion Kate Eau De Toilette* and I couldn't wait to get it on my skin and in my nose holes. 

Honestly, I like to think that I'm beyond getting excited about packaging and branding and design the way that I used to, but as soon as I had the VDL Expert Color Lip Cube Marble Glow* in my hand, I was smitten. Available from Avon as a part of their partnership with the brands under THEFACESHOP umbrella, this lip balm absolutely wins the award for the prettiest looking lip balm I've ever tried by a mile and I've been testing the formula for a while to see if it lives up to what I had hoped.

Dr. Belmeur is one of those skin care brands that has been on my radar for quite a while now, one I've definitely been interested in trying out, but just hadn't gotten around to yet. So, obviously, I was super excited when I found out that some of their products are included in the AVON x THEFACESHOP collaboration. I've been trying out a couple of the products for the past several weeks now and I'm a little bit in love, so I'm super excited to share them with you guys!

The most exciting thing for me about Avon teaming up with THEFACESHOP to bring their customers KBeauty products is definitely the skin care aspect of it and I was super excited when I got the chance to try out the Mango Seed Moisturizing Butter* and the Mango Seed Radiant Moisturizing Oil*. I've had incredibly good luck with THEFACESHOP skin care in the past and winter was the absolute perfect time to put these two moisturizers to the test on skin that really needed that boost of moisture and protection.

I have to say, I had a little bit of a giddiness when the products I'm featuring in this post arrived to me. I had no idea that Avon was going to be teaming up with THEFACESHOP to start selling KBeauty products, but I'm 100% here for it. I feel like this is a really interesting collaboration and one that will definitely open up the world of Korean beauty and skin care to a market that maybe isn't yet aware of it. I was also really, really exited to try out the products because they're all ones that I had never tried out before. 

So, without further ado, let's take a closer look at the products!
