    Perfume - You really need a sample of it before buying, some smell lovely but don't last long, so best off just buying the body spray, cheaper & lasts as long smell wise

    Foundation - I have found some of their foundation better than leading brands, one I had was great for covering scars & what not!

    Mascara - I Only ever found one decent mascara out of alllllll of them I got out of Avon, It's off the Trend line in the book

    Eye Shadow - I buy the Quad trays or duos in natural colours & find them very good

    Lip stick - wouldn't know, I always buy the Lip plumping Conditioner (find it great for colour & moisturing)

    Kohl pencil/Eye liner - Love the Trend ones

    Shower Gels - Good, cheap & lovely fragrances

    Deodrant - No diff than leading brand names

    Tried nearly everything from the book..... I've a mate that's an Avon Rep, so anything I hadn't bought to try she gave me freebies!

    Wasn't very impressed with anything I got from them, take their descriptions and photos with a grain of salt!

    I use their shampoo's, conditioner and shower gels. They're very good and very cheap.

    Their African Shea body butter is gorgeous and I love it, but I can't remember if it's in the new catologues or not.

    Anything I've ever gotten from them, has been of good quality for the price.
    The basics like shower gels, shampoos etc, are great and do the job.
    Iam using their mineral makeup and Iam happy with the results.
    I have to say Iam a big fan of their professional skin care range for problem skin! Its really helped to clear up my spot outbreaks!
    It is hard to know about shades of makeup due not being able to have the actual product in your hands, but thats the risk you take. Anyhows, they give you a refund if you are not happy with their products.

    Have to agree with you on the skincare!! I always buy in bulk when it comes on special, everything always does like 4 for €7.50 or all off a certain line for €15!

    I've gotten a good few things from them, love their shower gel and shampoos especially. I've been happy with most of the make-up, and you just can't argue with the prices! It's very easy to get carries away though and order loads, be careful!

    i sell avon and i can tell you all the products are good quality and i;m not sayin that cos i sell it! i buy loads from the catalogue too, especially offers like suntan lotion which at the moment is 2 for 12.95 and you can save up to €41. i just bought 2 for 12.95 which should be 19.75 each.
    i always buy the skin so soft range too it is fab, your skin becomes so so soft after using it for a while. its gorgeous. little black dress is my fave perfume. try the plump pout lip gloss too.
