Any Avon recommendations or steer clear?

[YouCantCallMeBetty]

My NDN has just started selling for Avon and has given me a catalogue. I do want a few new bits of make up so would be happy to buy from them but don't want to waste money if they're rubbish.
Any recommendations? I found a few threads about this but all a few years old so wondered if anyone has any up to date experience? I think Sali Hughes has recommended one of their moisturisers recently...

I love Avon. I like their Anew foundation and Magix primer but the make up in general is good quality. I don't buy body or hair products so can't comment on that.
The mineral powder is good too.

I told a fib. I have used Anew moisturiser too. I like it. It doesn't ball up on application.

The nail polish is very good, I get at least a couple of days before it chips and that's good for me.

Agree nail polish is good, as is Magix Primer.

I also really like their Glimmerstick gel eyeliners - they work very well for "tightlining" (although not the glittery ones obvs!).

I don't usually buy anything from Avon, but make an exception for their skin so soft original dry body oil, to keep mozzies and biting insects off me, especially on holiday.

Far away perfume is nice

Skin so Soft is my fave body lotion (with the added advantage of repelling mozzies).

The hand wash is nice.

Anew Reversalist Infinite Effects Night Treatment Cream has been a game changer for me (and yes, it’s a ridiculously long name). Also the Little Black Dress EDP is rather nice.

It's no longer a cruelty-free company.

The nail varnish is very good.

As is the 'So Soft' body range.

I love the Magix primer.

And the big bottles of bubble bath are good too.

I got some lovely matte lip gloss things recently - mark something or other. The staying power isn't super long lasting but they look great and come in some lovely colours

I love avon. My best friends a rep so i get loads of make up and skin stuff. Not sure what ones to specifically recoment other than skin so soft.

Thanks everyone, some great recommendations 👍🏻 Re being cruelty free, as far as I can make out from the somewhat confusing statement on their website, Avon products are tested on animals by China in order to comply with the law there. So Avon cannot say they are cruelty free because they allow their products to be tested in order to sell in China.

My MIL used to do Avon a few years ago. I found the make up pretty rubbish to be honest, but maybe it's improved since? The shower gels and handwash weren't bad and always seemed to be on offer.
I got some nice bots of jewellery over the years too.

The magix primer spray Is amazing. As good as the MAC one at a quarter of the price. Made my cheap boots No. 7 foundation stay on all day when usually rubbed off by 11am.

I like their Supershock mascara (the original one, not Supershock Max, which has a not so good brush IMO). It's often on special offer at about £5 and is as good as any I've tried. I used to rate their shampoo and conditioner for extra volume but I'm not sure if they still do it (I've been using another brand lately because it was cheap).

The Anew night cream. Can't remember what it is called but it's the one with 2 pumps each containing a different cream. Use one for a week then the other, then switch back.

Incredible. I work for a premium skincare brand and this blow any other night cream I have use out of the water!

I like the glimmer sticks eyeliner, the Max mascara and the everlast concealer.

I don't like the eyeshadows, poor pigmentation. The setting spray, felt gritty on my face. The lipsticks don't last very long.

They used to sell really good perfumes decades ago, but not now. I really miss Occur, unforgettable, Moonwind etc but it is all samey samey vanilla shite.

However I did get some nice jewellery and bras from them.

I like the 3 in 1 compact and the kids bubble baths and detangling spray.

Ah, I used to love Avon, good value and not half bad quality. But now they test on animals so I don't buy from them anymore.

Glimmer stick eyeliners
The make up brushes are on par with the Bobbi Brown / MAC brushes so far
I use the verbena shampoo and conditioner love the smell
The cream/foundation compact it so good

I like their products and mix them in with my usual brands no problem. I normally use Bobbi Brown.

The Skin So Soft dry oil spray sorted out my dry, cracked skin after many other moisturising creams failed. I've had a few bits- nail varnish lip gloss, the glimmerstick mentioned upthread. Pleased with it all and there are often sales.
