What to buy from Avon

I’d like to buy some Avon products to support someone I know who has started to sell it. Can anyone recommend any of their products please. I’ve often heard that the glimmer sticks and some perfumes in particular are great.

Some of the skincare bits are good-like the skin toner/cleanser.

Just don’t buy the Skin So Soft dry body spray hoping it will ward off mosquitoes-it smells absolutely vile, is horribly sticky and they will still bite you just as much. Lots of Avon reps will tell you otherwise though-it’s almost as if they have a vested interest in perpetuating this myth!

Their primer is good. And their makeup setting sprays.

Called Magic X or similar.

I once had a cherry foot spray from there which was really nice.

Don’t buy anything. It’s an MLM, the sooner your friend gets out of it, the better.

I really wouldn't encourage them tbh

HollyBollyBooBoo · 10/09/2023 09:24

Don't encourage them, it never ends if you start.

They are NOT cruelty free, if that is an issue for you.

It's been going for decades and is nothing like the pyramid MLMs.
The glimmersticks are excellent and just as good as high end brands.

Glimmersticks are excellent, and their lip oil is surprisingly good too. I like their gel nail polish, it's cheap and lasts a very long time on me. Never tried any skin care though.

Best way to support her is to tell her to give up

I’ve used the Anew skincare creams for years. I really like them.
The glimmersticks are very good.

Also love the skin so soft for removing sticky labels, cleaning car dashboards, and whiteboards

Purpleavocado · 11/10/2023 12:59

I love the Today perfume, its white floral and very pretty.
The bubble baths are great value.
Most of rhe skincare is nice.
The makeup is okay but I'd rather buy in a shop so I can see it.

I used to have everything bath and shower from Avon but it's too perfumed now
I swear by their eye cream and day moisturiser

BakewellFart · 11/10/2023 17:04

Skin so soft is the only thing I’ve found that removes marks from my HRT patches!

@SoIinvictus Avon moved to the MLM business model in 2005. It is not ethical and lot of people lose money by participating in it.
