I really like Avon. I miss the catalogs as it doesn't seem like there are as many reps around. I'd always find them at Beauty parlors, and other offices. 

 

I do order online but not as much since I don't buy as many makeup and skincare items as I used to. I like their non-beauty items too.  Found great gifts that way.

I love it!  Mom used to buy is occasionally when I was just a tiny girl.  I have loved it and been a customer my whole life.  

 

This is the first time I have been without a rep.  I have ordered a couple times on line but it is not as much fun.  I like having a "real" brochure.

 

I used to sell it, too and I liked getting to see new items.

 

I think the quality is very good.  

 

When I used to order clothing items, etc., I had no problems returning to the rep.

I even have my very own Avon Rep that comes to my door.  I love Avon products.. usually just foundation, eyeliner,eyeshadow, lipstick and mascara.  I wait for sales and I am good to go.  Love them.  Better price point than shopping channels

Avon has the best aerosol bug spray. I like their anew line and their nail polishes and I have a favorite lipstick line. I probably order 3-4 times a year online. They have great bogo sales and offer free shipping occasionally. Their packaging is nice. Oh and when my kids were young their bubble bath was the best.

Wow, I have not thought about Avon in years... I did not even know that they were still around. I used to buy their bubble bath for the kids - made tons of bubbles that lasted a good while in the tub.

Never liked anything Avon made ever.

Yes, I do still use Avon.  I love the lotions , lip glosses and jewelry.  They have great styles and prices.

I just ordered Avon makeup primer from Amazon.  I haven't received it yet but I'll let you know. Also my favorite oldtime fragrance was Rapture. It came in a little navy blue bottle. I used the creme fragrance in high school. I also liked Far and Away.

We used to have an "Avon Lady" who would come to the house when I was little.  She was older, wore a huge black hat with a red rose and a suit in black and ivory.

 

I remember buying the Avon eye shadow back in the '60's - it came with multiple colors in a thin tube.  I think they were cream, not powdered.

 

I also bought some leather heels in the 80's-the prices were good and they fit.

 

Haven't thought about Avon in decades, though.

I grew up all through the '70's on Avon, my Mom was either selling it at different times and always buying when she was not selling.  Gifts to all my teachers through elementary were Avon products.  Right now all I have is the Night Magic perfumed skin softening scent on my desk at work.  I do not use it very often but I did just last week.  Never have I tried the clothes or shoes just fragrance, makeup, and bath products.  It was nice when a woman in my church started selling it and I got back into for a few years.  She started with some Kitchen line after a few years so now it has been awhile since I ordered.  Need to look online.  Skin so Soft really does help with protection from mosquito bites.
