Fergie is the latest celebrity to join forces with AVON for a new fragrance set to launch next fall, WWD announced today.

AVON has notoriously signed many high-profile names in the last several years including Derek Jeter and Reese Witherspoon. Fergie, whose real name is Stacy Ferguson, is the lead singer for the Black Eyed Peas, a popular hip hop band with recent Billboard Top 100 hit songs, “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling.”

“I love the roster of women Avon has supported,” Fergie told WWD in a phone interview from Auckland, New Zealand, where she just completed the Eastern leg of a world tour with the Peas to promote their latest album, “The E.N.D.” “Each one is completely different, but they are all wonderful, strong women who have a purpose. It was very important to me to bring what I have to the table. I’m a bit more rock ’n’ roll than some of the other artists, and Avon has really allowed my personality to come through.”

Avon Spectracolor Lipstick

I proudly tote around a huge assortment of beauty products on a daily basis, but I’m always looking for ways to free up valuable space in my makeup bag.

Needless to say, this all-new offering from Avon that contains 7 (Count them – 7!) shades in one compact case has certainly lightened my load. Just click the dial for more or less pigment and you have the perfect lipstick for any situation.

Avon Spectracolor Lipstick is available in 10 shades for $9.50 each from Avon.

In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon has partnered with Avon for the launch of her first fragrance, In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon.

“In developing In Bloom, I found myself drawn to the scents of my childhood in Tennessee,” explains Reese Witherspoon. “We had a great big Magnolia tree in the back yard, and it’s that beautiful white blossom that inspired the perfume. In Bloom is indicative of where I am in my life today. I’m feeling very strong and independent, and so happy, so full of life. The fragrance truly captures that feeling—it’s very sensual, very romantic and alluring.”

The fragrance is an invitation to experience the sensual side of a woman. Precious and exquisite, the scent combines a delicate femininity with a seductive allure and a mysterious beauty.

The fragrance:

Top: Georgia peach, tea leaves and crisp greens

Heart: Star gardenia, magnolias and night-blooming jasmine

Base: cashmere woods, hypnotic florals and amber wood crystals.

Avon’s Director of Creative Development, Isabel Ryan, says, “Reese was the perfect partner on the fragrance – she was fully involved in the whole process from the development of the juice and packaging to the fragrance name. I logged many miles flying between NY and LA to work with her to make sure the end result was a true reflection of Reese’s style.”

The fragrance will be available globally in November in two sizes: a 1.7-oz. eau de parfum for $34, and a 1-oz. limited edition version for $59.  A body mist, body lotion and shower gel also will be available for $15.
