What's good from Avon?

A friend at work is selling Avon and I fancy having a splurge, what's good from them? What I could do with is some kind of skin brightener/highlighter/concealer (baby doesn't really sleep through!) but am open to experimenting with anything that's really good. I just want to know if it's worth it!

The Avon Supershock gel pencil eyeliners are fab.

Avon BB cream is amazing. Far better as a concealer and all-over foundation that many more expensive ones I've bought on the high street

Skin so soft dry oil, although apparently it doesn't repel mozzies anymore as they changed the formula (am an avon lady!)

This is really good ( face perfector) and so is this but quite pricey so wait for special offer!

Moroccan argan oil hair serum. It is the best.

Love their super shock gel eyeliners, but bought a glimmer stick and. Was awful, really dry and draggy. Maybe I just got a dud.

I second Skin So Softly. I've lived in the tropics and many use it as a mosquito/bug repellent. I heard that the army give it out to soldiers for that reason too but that could be an urban myth!

Anew foundation.. love it!

Just be wary of you have sensitive skin. I love the look of lots of the products but am allergic to most - from foundations, to sun lotion to eye shadow & shampoo!

I've no idea which specific ingredient is causing the problem but it doesn't happen with most other brands Hmm.
