Beyond Color Radiant Lifting Foundation-This is nice but I've found that I can get a better color match for my PPP skin with Maybelline's Smooth Results.

Beyond Color Lash Fortifying Mascara-This is about as natural as you can get with mascara. So natural that I felt like it did barely anything at all. I would not recommend it.

Brilliant Moisture Lipcolor-I love the look and feel of this lipstick. It offers full coverage and it is very moisturizing. I am especially partial to the Like Satin shade. (p.19 of the campaign 10 catalog)

Lash Designer Mascara-I get this in Black and absolutely love it! I've got a lot of my customers hooked on it as well. It gives me nice lush lashes without looking overdone. I would compare it to the results I get from another favorite of mine, Cover Girl Professional. I would highly recommend this. (page 20 of the campaign 10 catalog and on sale 2 for $5.99 right now)

Personal Match Natural Concealer Stick-I don't think this is a very good concealer. I prefer the coverage I get from Rimmel's Hide the Blemish Concealer for use as an overall concealer including the under eye area)

mark Instant Vacation Fragrance Mist-This is new, and I absolutely love the smell of this! It just screams summer to me. It smells so good!!! (page 33 of the campaign 10 catalog)

mark sun shells lip gloss-I got this last campaign in wahine. I thought it looked great in the catalog, but once I tried it on I found it to be way too bubble gum pink for me. I will definitely be returning this one. Also, the texture of it was thicker than what I am normally used to and like in a lipgloss.

Haiku Awakenings-This is another perfume that I love. It has such a fresh clean scent to it that I think is especially nice for spring and summer. (page 37 of the campaign 10 catalog, and buy one get one free right now)

Treselle-This perfume is especially great for date nights. Very sensual smelling. My husband loves it. (page 39 of the campaign 10 catalog)

Today perfume-I really didn't care for the smell of this one.

Tomorrow perfume-This one is great. I really love how this one smells! (page 38 of the campaign 10 catalog)

Dreamlife perfume-Yet another one of my favorites! This one has a very nice soft smell to it. I always seem to get compliments when I wear this one. (page 40&41 of the campaign 10 catalog. Mini sized bottle on page 41 on sale right now for only $4.99).

Imari perfume-This is supposedly one of Avon's best selling perfumes, but I honestly have no idea why. I personally can't stand the smell of it, and my husband doesn't like it at all either.

Sweet Honesty-I don't like the smell of this one at all either.

Mesmerize for Men-I absolutely love the way this stuff smells on my husband. He uses colognes from a few other brands as well, but so far this one is still my hands down favorite on him. Highly recommended. (page 47 of the campaign 10 catalog)

Anew 2-Step Facial Peel-I absolutely love this stuff! I've just started using it recently and am already noticing a difference in my skin. (page 90 of the campaign 10 catalog, and I have two of these currently in stock and available to ship immediately)

Anew Retroactive Night Repair Cream-I've been using this for quite awhile as my night cream, and I truly love it. On the rare occasion, the I forget or get too tired/lazy to apply it before bed, I notice a big difference in my skin. My skin always looks SO much better in the morning when I've used this the night before at bedtime! (page 92 of the C-10 catalog)

Avon Naturals Shower Gel in Cucumber Melon and Rasberry-These are okay, but I much prefer the Bath and Body Works versions of these.

Anew Retroactive+ Cleanser-This is another one of my all time favorite skin care products from Avon. It feels sooo refreshing and it gets my skin nice and clean without leaving it feeling dry and tight like so many others do. (page 93 of the campaign 10 catalog and on sale!!)

Avon Basics Silicone Glove Hand Cream-I absolutely love the way this stuff makes my hands feel. It leaves them feeling so silky soft. Highly recommended. (page 148 of the campaign 10 catalog, and on sale for only $1.79)

Avon Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner-I found these too be too drying for my color treated hair.

Avon Advance Techniques Color Protection Shampoo and Conditioner-Highly recommended. These leave my hair feeling soft and healthy, and I think they smell great also. The scent of them reminds me a little of Biolage products. (page 159 of the campaign 19 catalog, and on sale for only $1.99 each!)

I hope you all found these reviews helpful. http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Thanks for your honest opinions! I haven't used Avon before, but I've heard so many good things about it (esp the skincare). Can I buy directly from avon or do I have to go thru an avon lady? Also, if you don't mind my asking, how did you become an 'avon lady,' and do you like selling their products?

Thank you for being so honest! I totally appreciate that!

And I'm really interested in smelling the new Mark fragrance, Instant Vacation! I just got an email from Mark about it, and it's gotten such good reviews over at MUA -- it's calling me LOL! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Have you tried Becoming Bases covered yet? Is it like Aquasmooth?

I also like that you gave honest opinions rather than tell us how great everything is just in the hopes to sell something like girls who work at counters dohttp://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I'd also love to hear what the instant vacation smells like. I love fruity summer scents.

Spring-Yes, I really enjoy selling Avon. http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif You can buy Avon at www.avon.com, (http://www.avon.com,) or I have my very own Avon site where products can be purchased from if you'd like to take a look. More details can be found in my signature line...

squirrel-I have tried beComing Bases Covered, and for my normal to dry skin type, I would have to say that I actually preferred the texture and look of the Aqua Smooth on me. However, if your skin is more on the normal to oily side, you would probably like the beComing Bases Covered foundation better. Hope that helps! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

That sounds great. How much does it cost? I don't like buying anything pricy without being able to try it first.
