I have bought clothes.  I recently bought a top and it is very nice.  I have their cleansers and creams.  Everything is very good.  I also have some jewelry from them.  They make very good products.

I used to sell Avon over 40 years ago. They have some great products.

I order from Avon regularly.  When I was working - there was a rep at the office.  Since I retired in 2010 - I've ordered online.

Makeup, nail polish, hand cream, eye cream, face cream, bath gel, body lotions, fragrance, some costume jewelry, and just ordered two tank tops that were on sale.

There are several products I use regularly .. so I have an Avon order about four times a year.

ETA:  I don't return stuff ... on the rare occasion that a lipstick or nail polish isn't a good color ... my nieces are only too happy to take the stuff.

A very good friend of mine has sold Avon for 50 years.  She still does, but is slowly pulling back. Her complexion is beautiful.  

I like their tinted moisturizer. My SIL (in Canada) uses the ANEW line and her complexion is amazing.  

I order a few times a year.  

I used to like the fragrance Odyssey!!

Avon has wonderful products, many were a "first" that others copied.  I love the hair care products "Techniques" styling mist is wonderful for my silver hair and gives it lightweight body.   The Skin So Soft in the gel form is the best for dry, cracked skin and overnight your skin is soft and smooth although you need to give it a little time to soak in, it's the best I've found for mature skin. (Legs and arms).

I've always liked their products and I even have a couple of jewelry pieces that are 50 years old that look beautiful.

I do miss their old fragances though, Cotillion, and Soft Musk were my favorites.  

I could be wrong, but I think they bought out either Clinique or Estee Lauder a few years back.  I can't remember for sure which one, but I do know when I read it I was thinking that it was amazing that Avon had bought them.

I don't know about a return policy as I have never returned anything, but I am sure that they have one.

The last time I bought something from Avon was years ago and it was a pair of  "birthstone earrings".  I still wear them today. They are very good quality for fashion jewelry. I've heard others say the same...Avon has nice fashion jewelry.

My hairdresser sells Avon, she buys clothes, jewelry and other stuff all the time.  I've bought lipstick that's about it.

Loves baby soft was my favorite and we would use the skin so soft oil as an insect repellent. And it really worked.

When I was a kid, my Mom would have the Avon lady over once in awhile to replenish her stock.  My Mom didn't drive, so it was wonderful for her to have someone come to her with the products she wanted.  (Helmes Bakery also drove door to door with bread & baked goods, and we had milk delivered to our door)....

My Mom (and I) used Avon for years, even after I was driving and could take her anywhere she wanted to go.  I remember once I was given Roses Roses (and I loved it) but the first time I wore it I went out into the kitchen and my Mom looked puzzled and asked "Who's been spraying for Ants??"  I apparently smelled like Raid when I wore it.... LOL!

Yes, they are great products and I'd consider buying their products again.... as a matter of fact, I'm going to find their website right now....

Everyone has brought back many memories. I forgot about the sample lipsticks. I loved those and used them sparingly because I didn't want them to end. Maybe I need to look through the book again.

We actually have an Avon retail store near us.  They have many items in store and you can order from the books and pick up items there. I love Skin So Soft and Moisture Therapy!  A fond memory is of the very first gift from my very first boyfriend was Candid perfume.  I told that story to my grandmother once, and every year for my birthday, until she passed away, she bought Candid for me.  Candid is very near and dear to me!
