Just had an Avon catalogue delivered. Anything worth having?

Is it all for the granny generation or do they have some decent products. I would rather have your feedback before trying anything. Or should I go with my gut instinct and stick it straight back outside the door with a no thanks?

Well my friend does it and I have tried the suncream on our last holiday and it was actually very good better than some bigger known brands. I also get my dd the childrens conditioner but thats about all I can comment on.

Suncream is half price in this one as well, I've ordered some.

Isn't there some body moisturiser that's meant to repel mosquitoes?8

Their room and linen sprays are great - much nicer fragrance than febreze etc.

Glimmersticks eyeliners are good, and often on offer.

I don't think it's at all grannyish these days. I buy loads there, and they have really good offers which make it cheaper than the supermarkets.

Yes the skin so soft fresh one is the one that supposed to repel mosquitos.

The lipstick with a core centre - I got red kiss and it's great, really strongly pigmented. Want to try the other colours now.

I second the room and linen spray, I also like their hand soap. They often have these on special at either half price or three items for £3.00.

The kids shampoos and body washes are nice too and are usually on offer.

The nailvarnish is very good.I work outdoors and my hands take a beating,but the nail varnish lasted far longer than more expensive stuff.

AintMissBeehiving · 01/04/2011 20:10
