Sorry me again
Im about to put an Avon order in for summer camping - the skin so soft stuff. And a glimmer stick
I had their shampoo before but they don't do the one I liked now.
Any other recommendations for shampoo or for make up? I'm in need of concealer and mascara if any good from there ?

Their sun protection range is good and their perfumes are excellent. They are often made by world famous perfumers but priced affordably.

Any more for any more?

The mascara in the gold container is good.

Glimmer stick eyeliner is great and I'm currently using their BN cream which has great coverage but is light on your skin. I'm overseas and its 33 degrees here and its perfect.

The serum foundation is good, so is the distillery cleanser but that ones on the pricy side unless it's on offer.

I'm having a perfume and eyeliner so far then
Will check that primer and cream

The peppermint foot spray, it's lovely on hot feet but even better for insect bites, takes the sting out

Anew skin cream - bloody brilliant, it really does work

Anew retexturising peel (or something like that) - wipes/pads to be used every other day - your skin will feel so different!

Skin so soft - you have already mentioned that, it is a good bug spray for camping

i think those are my top three. I’ve used their lipsticks in the past which have been good but I don’t remember specifics. No recommendations for Avon mascara because I use maybelline and love it so much I don’t bother with anything else.

Anew eye cream, half gel, half cream. It's the best eye cream... and I've tried a few!

Avon Eve Prive is a really beautiful light summer perfume and the perfumer is Nathalie Lorson who has also made perfume for Lalique and was one of the perfumers who made Black opium for YSL.

Ooh eye cream! Hadn't thought of that. I use the caffeine one by the ordinary but it's not nourishing !

They used to do a gorgeous light leave-in conditioner that I made the good decision to buy 5 of when they had one of their mega offers on. I'm down to my last bottle and am rationing it as I've been trying other similar conditioners out but really struggling as nothing compares to it. I also adore their perfume Lucky but trying not to get too attached as Avon products don't tend to survive long (Far and Away perfume, and that body moisturiser that repels mosquitoes aside)

I love Avon but no longer have an.Avon lady near by. I know you can order on the website but would rather give the commission to a human.

My faves are
Avon magic spf 20 primer
The gel nail polish (I can get 3-5days without chipping, others I'm lucky if I get to 24 hrs) the colours arent always like the brochure, so I now pick ones the models are wearing to get a good reflection of the actual colour.
Skin so soft enhance glow spray (builds a nice gradual tan on my legs)
Skin so soft original dry oil spray

The only things I buy often are the glimmersticks (from Amazon) I buy them in trios.

I haven't liked their perfumes since the 70's when they really were great but now everything smells the same watery flowery nothingness. I don't rate their lipsticks either.

In fact Glimmersticks and the original skin so soft is all I buy now.

Really pissed off that they don't bring their original perfumes back!
