Avon

What do people think of it? Skincare, makeup, perfume, etc...

I just want to know what people like/dislike about it so I know if I should continue with being a rep.

Re: Avon

I feel like people like it but sometimes think it is for "older/mom/grandma" types

I think if they changed their marketing/image it would be more appealing to the younger 20's 30's set

I see what you are saying - I don't have many customers under 30. I think they are trying to change to a younger image with the Reese Witherspoon & Patrick Dempsey stuff but it doesn't seem like its working yet.

Other than their Bug-Off spray, I've never been a fan. Not the best quality skin care products.

Nope, that's actually the regular Avon line. I think they had Lauren Conrad as one of the Mark spokespeople.

I think I also read something about Fergie doing something for Avon too, and the latest book has Mario Lopez on the cover (not a fan of his AT ALL!).

Re: Avon

Hit or miss- but that's true of lines at all price points. I've tried Estee Lauder stuff that IMO was crap, and Cover Girl stuff that was great. I have found lots of Avon products that I love (the eyeshadow quads, and the cream blush sticks are the best I've ever used, some skin care things, nail polish.)

I actually don't mind coming across Avon products that I DON'T love, because the prices are so good. But I definitely like more than I don't.

I am dying to try Reese Witherspoon's perfume- though I wish I could try it first. I love the bottle!

Re: Avon

I'm 30 and I love Avon.

I love their lip glosses, their eye shadows, their lipsticks, and mascara (although it dries out quickly - for the price you can't beat it).

I also love their jewelry. I get the most compliments on two Avon necklaces that I have.

Their home items - adorable. Especially their seasonal ones - this year they had Bernard the polar bear, little tea light lanterns (I bought them to put on my staircase - I used battery-operated tea lights), they also had the cutest elf or santa clothesline that my SIL hung across her kitchen window.... Love their seasonal stuff.

Oh and Skin So Soft - BEST BATH OIL EVER. Chat Icon

I love Avon. Always have, always will. Best part - my MIL sells it - I get a kickin' discount. Chat Icon

Re: Avon

I order from my aunt - I like their eyeshadows, mascara, nail polish. But I am also not into makeup and could never see myself spending alot of money for it. I also ordered some cute rainboots from there. I like their lotions and soap for the bathroom.

Re: Avon

Wow! So not many negatives at all from people! That's good to know! Thanks everyone!!

Yea, the Mark line is geared towards the 20-30 year olds. They really have some cute stuff in their catalogs.

I actually really like their mascara and lipglosses.

Their "mark" creme stick blush is actually my favorite blush EVER and I must say I had always been a cosmetics snob and only tried avon within the last 2 years because I got some free products that I liked.
