Thanks

I love the room sprays that smell of lavendar/cherry blossom. They don't mess with my asthma like aerosols do and they are great for caravan holidays and tiny loos.

Some of the fragrance is good, some not so good, but very fairly priced. Little Black Dress is very good, as is the Christian LaCroix range and the Reese Witherspoon range. The children's sun lotions are good, and although the prices look high, there's always really good offers on.

The little jewellery sets make great gifts at Christmas and birthdays.

I swear by the Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner.

I like :

Bubble bath

Nail varnish

100% cotton pyjamas with legging type bottoms , they wash well

Some jewellery

Lipstick in shade "latte" a good nude for me (pale ish )

I dont like eye shadows , I think they have no pigment .

I have an Avon lady (well, it's my mum's)... and would recommend:
The nail varnishes, the glimmer sticks eye liners, the planet spa African shea butter range - smells divine. Some of the lip glosses are lovely and the MagiX face perfector is brilliant.

My mum was an Avon lady in the early 70s. I blame her for my product fetish!

The serum with the very scientific numerically name is supposed to be very good. I used it for a while and quite liked it.

Fantastic, thanks so much, I feel a spree coming on! Grin

Avon Perceive fragrance was actually created by Christopher Sheldrake who is a very big name in perfume and creates for Serge Lutens, Chanel and Shiseido.

It's got to be the cheapest Christopher Sheldrake scent ever!

Hi I'm a Avon Sales Leader and I love their flawless foundation, which goes on your skin lovely and feels so light. My hubby likes the anti dandruff shampoo, there's also so much choice, but I can't wait for it to arrive. If you don't get to see a brochure you can order on line here @ www.jobsforbeautyreps.co.uk/online-brochure/
