Have you seen the new Avon products lately!? When I was younger I remember Avon selling makeup and bubble bath. Now, they sell all kinds of high quality items.
I love finding great value products (as you may have guessed from my blog, LOL!). When I got my Chemistry degree I became fascinated by the things that are included in skincare and makeup products. It is amazing that companies and commercials can make the claims they do about additives they put in their products. I started researching it so I could find the best products for the best price. I then passed this information on to friends and family (and later I started writing for a few online sites). Hmm, maybe I’ll write a series on that! Cost effective skincare that works 🙂
What I found actually surprised me. I often found that the most “cutting edge” products were created by Avon! They also happened to be the most cost effective. After that I started following the company more closely. I was surprised to see that other companies seemed to follow Avon’s lead. If Avon released a new product, then a few other companies would quickly follow suit. Usually with a less effective, more expensive product.
I could write a book on skincare that works and how most of the Avon products fit the bill perfectly! But, Avon isn’t just about wonderful skincare products. They also sell makeup (which everybody who knows the company realizes that), men’s products, inspirational religious products (Christian based), teen products (Mark line), clothing, toys, and more.
All Avon products are guaranteed. If you don’t like it (color, texture, the way it works – whatever) then you can return it to your rep.
If you want to sell Avon then it only costs $10 to sign up and you are guaranteed 40% earnings to start.
GIVEAWAY!!
Avon is so much more than makeup (and skincare!). Right now they have Madame Alexander dolls and with matching little girls outfits! The picture at the top of the post is of these adorable dolls. It would make a great Christmas present for a lucky little girl. If you don’t have a little girl to give this to then I am sure it would be a wonderful addition to a wish box or Christmas toy drive. The giveaway is for the doll only.

I do have a question, it's about under-eye concealer, since I use it a lot. Do I buy it a shade darker, lighter, or the same as my skin tone?
I LOVE Avon Skin So Soft, I always have.
I love the ULTRA COLOR RICH Lipstick. It's a quality lipstick for a great price.
I think the best value product is the Holiday Shower Gel. Its only $1.99 and will be $6.00 after the holidays. Great value! Thank you!
I have a question about an ingredient. I have sensitive skin and it seems I can only use products that contain SPF 15 or higher. What exactly is that and why when that is added my skin can tolerate the product?
My favorite Avon product is the Candid cologne. It smells wonderful!

For a good value, I like the Holiday stocking stuffers–and all the nail polish seems to be on sale!
My Favorite item may be the 12 in 1 eye palette:)
As for skin care–I have to be VERY careful what I use, because I have rosacea. I will not try new things unless i am really sure it will not break me out. But, I miss being able to just try stuff. When I look at makeup, I usually will just get lipsticks/eye shadows for my creams & bases I stick with one type.

I love Avon!~~When I first moved to our neighborhood 15 years ago the Avon Lady came to my door.~~I've been buying from her ever since. My boys~all teenagers now~still refer to her as the Avon Lady~~"Hey Mom, the Avon Lady is here!"
Much to my despair my favorite lip color~Chocolate Fling glazewear has been discontinued!~I've put in an order for a different color hoping to find a new favorite!

The best value I see if for the bubble bath. You use such a small amount, and it makes tons of bubbles. Plus it is gentle on my kids skin.
