What to get from Avon?

An Avon lady dropped at catelogue round and she was really nice. I feel obliged to buy something, I have had reasonably good Avon hair and makeup stuff before but was wondering if there is anything you particularly recommend, the prices are not bad and it would be convenient for me to order stuff as I hardly ever go shopping.

Also, I'm really pale. Do they have any good pale foundations?

I don't know what your hair is like. I have wavy hair that tends to frizz and use Avon hair serum. Just smoothes the ends beautifully and smells gorgeous!
Also buy an inexpensive pencil eyeliner, black one end brown the other, which I really like.

Their basic pots of moisturiser are great and almost always on offer.
I use their mineral foundation, best I've found and great value. Also their lipsticks - never had a duff one.
I'd the book has an offer on plain old shower gel or bath foam go for it ... works out a bargain and they do mens shower/shampoo which dh uses a lot.

Ask your rep about perfume testers. The problem with Avon scents is how to test them, but my rep got me testers of ones I wanted to try and I now regularly buy them on offer of course. Perceive is a favourite.

If they still sell their lavender pillow spray, that's lovely

Really like their Argan Oil Leave in Treatment for my bleached hair, makes it feel lovely.
Also glimmerstick eye liners, very easy to use.
The Gel polishes are good too, no need for base or top coat and comes off like normal nail polish.

At this time of year Skin so Soft dry oil spray will keep midges and gnats away.

Skin so soft.
Naturals range
If they still do it the pot of conditioning balm - you can use it as a conditioning mask and as a leave in conditioner if your hair is frizzy.
Silicone glove handcream
Some of the senses shower gels

Oh this has just reminded me why I did buy from them...

If you have little girls the detangling spray is good.. Actually if you have boys with long hair it's also good for them.. Also tames the hair a bit.
