Avon - what do I need?

12 replies

ICanTuckMyBoobsInMyPockets · 01/05/2013 13:24

There's an Avon catalogue in our office and we're just having a flick through.

Are there any miracle products I'm missing out on?

I'm quite pale with normal/dry skin and very dark hair.

Early 30's and gorgeous, obviously Grin

People will tell you that you need the magix primer - ignore them, it stinks!

Glimmer sticks are FAB!

I second the glimmer sticks. I've got about 7 in different colours and they are great. I also quite like some of the eye shadows but I don't rate any of the concealers or foundations that I've tried.

Their mineral powder foundation if you can get the right colour is great as well.

Glimmer sticks, eyelid primer, ANEW 'clinical eye lift' eye cream, Skin so soft dry oil spray, quick dry nail spray thing, and all the nail varnishes are fab too! (Love it when the Avon book pops through the door!)

Oooh, almost forgot, their Argan oil range is brilliant.

The colourtrend lipsticks are lovely, they don't taste like margarine, and stay quite well.

The yellow tube of mascara is fab too.

The Argan oil treatment (in a turquoise tube) is worth getting and frequently on offer.

Can anyone tell me about the bubble bath? My dds are desperate to try the stuff in old- fashioned plastic bottles ( that I swear haven't changed since I was a kid alooooong time ago). Also the sleep /pillow must stuff?

WeAreSix · 01/05/2013 20:21

Oh yes, glimmer sticks. Love them!

I wish they still did the kids stuff they had when I was little, my DDs would like it.

pocketandsweet · 01/05/2013 20:24

I remember little plastic perfume brooches. They were awesome..... My dds would adore them.

OneLittleLady · 01/05/2013 20:38

I still have two of the old Avon perfume bottles, one's a swan with a gold crown and the other is an egg with flowers and butterflies on it Grin no idea what was once in them though

I can't understand why they wouldn't be tapping into their past archive rather than doing the clothes and jewellery that seem largely uninspired. If anyone from Avon HQ sees this PLEASE TAKE NOTE.
