Avon products

Ziegfeldgirl27

I was thinking of ordering some things from Avon as someone i know is doing the catalogues. Are there any products that are amazing, must haves? I have heard good things about their make up but never tried any. They seem to be quite reasonably priced too.

Being honest, I wouldn't personally recommend it. I was an Avon rep for a while so I have tried a lot of their stuff. Some of it is excellent. Most of it is hit and miss with make up though...

Their foot care and body washes are lovely but I know people can often be disappointed with the make-up when it arrives.

You'll get more for your money with other brands, and you can sample the products beforehand to know exactly what to expect and what suits you.

I've filled in the contact sheet on the Avon site and no one ever contacted me

There's some of the eyeshadow quads I'd like to try and the eye liners too. Most of the stuff that's I've seen used in the pixiwoo videos

I've heard the Supershock gel liner is good and also the Mascaras. Does anyone know if you can order online? So much less hassle then the whole rep thing!

Yeah thats where I've seen their products used too! Their latest video shows a lovely green eyeshadow quad, I would love that and if they had the same in pinks/browns.

I love Avon, some of the eyeshadow can be a bit hit or miss but everything else I have bought I've loved.

I got a tube of their mascara free with some magazine recently, and i'm quite impressed by it.

Can anyone recommend a rep?

Finally got a response but the email I got was terrible!

There is loads of reps around in all area's, especially now coming up to Christmas. Send me a PM & I can get you in touch with one in your area.. Can't beat Avon, for the great value. I used it for years & you get to know what you like..

I got a really nice lipstick from Avon. It's actually red, not just dark pink. I think it was Chilli coloured. My mam uses their mascara and loves it. I tried one of their foundations and I thought it was awful. It had half rubbed off my mam within an hour and a half and it started to flake off of me by the end of an hour. I'm wearing some of their nail polish right now. It chips fairly easily but that could just be me I manage to destroy my nails five minutes after painting them. So it can be a bit mixed. I'm dying to try some of their eye shadows but I read on an old boards thread that the pigment tends to be quite rubbish which put me off.

I've tried a few Avon products and they are hit and miss. Their nail polishes are great, I wear them all the time, they'd be on par with Rimmel/Maybelline polishes. Their mascaras are rubbish, not a lot of product comes out on the brush and it's a very dry mascara so it's hard to layer it, I've tried 4 different Avon mascaras and always had this problem. They do a mineral powder foundation that is quite nice but even the lightest shade is too dark for me. Their eyeshadow quads are good and they generally do special offers on them every few weeks. Their lipsticks and glosses are okay, on par with Rimmel for instance.

I can't use their body washes or body lotions but a girl I know does use them and says they're lovely. Some of the perfumes Avon sell are okay but the majority of them smell quite cheap or the scent disappears rather quickly.

I have ordered online from https://avon-shop.ie/

I figured it might be handy as they would just post the stuff out to you but it gets delivered by a courier - can't remember if you could select the times but I got it delivered on a Saturday - I actually found the catalogue uploaded on another site so I could see the special offers etc and just ordered from the above website then and they included the free items (may have mentioned this in the order though just to make sure).

The payment on my paypal went to Avon Drogheda so must be run from there.

The supershock eyeliner is pretty good - its similar to the Urban Decay ones but it can smudge on application as its quite gel like. I think some of the pricier face creams are good as well. For perfume etc Id rather try it out in the shop - I've made mistakes before which I have regretted!

I'm not a fan of their shampoos tbh but do like a few of their fragrances

I've been buying Avon stuff on and off for about 10 years I guess... As some here have said, there's items that or hit or miss too! Some of their products are lovely and quite cheap too. Wasn't that impressed with the 2 or 3 foundations I got from them but hey, that could be my skin!
Found their shampoos & conditioners to be not so great, not bad but not hectic. Can't use their shower gels anymore though .... Was using them all the time for about 2 years, loved the smells, but I didn't realise it until my friend stopped being an Avon rep and I didn't use them anymore, that that was the cause of recurring thrush for me! :eek: Put 2 and 2 together after switching and found I wasn't getting it anymore!
I love their hand soaps, pretty and cheap! Their bras are really good too, especially their t-shirt bra - about €8.00 I think. I must have about 10 of them! Great 'everyday' bra. Their knickers are lovely too but always order a size smaller than you are - they are HUGE! :eek:
Love 'Little Black Dress' fragrance too and it's nearly always on offer
I can't think of the name (and I'm too cosy on the couch to go looking!) but they do an eyeshadow quad and I love it! Wear it everyday and it's still there at night when I take off my make-up. I have gotten quite a few nail polishes too, some are brill, wear them all the time but a few have been pure watery too...

Now, wonder when the next catalogue is out!?

I love the Argan Oil shampoos and conditioners. Definitely helps with the frizz. And I use their Argan Oil too.

The Argan Oil actually has a very low percentage of actual aragn oil in it!

I love the Anew stuff from Avon. The Thermafirm cream is half price in current catalogue. I love the eye cream too.

Has anyone ordered from the Avon website before? I still haven't got my things ordered a week ago. Hopefully today they will turn up.
