Armanis, I admit, I just didn't want to go back and check all your posts. There are a lot of products I like too, and I just got a new catalog, so I'm fixin' to think about ordering some stuff.

Karin, my favorites are, as follows: Anew Ultimate Transforming Creme. I haven't yet tried the one in the dark brown, jar . . . it's supposed to be better than what I've been using.

Moisture Therapy Lip Balm. The best I've ever used.

Moisture Therapy Hand Creme. Again: the best, I've ever used.

Tea tree and grapefruit, peel off mask. Excellent, and refreshing.

African Shea Butter, for feet and elbows. Fantastic product, for your tootsies.

My sister loves the retinol lipsticks. She says they really do add fulness to the lips.

K. uses an Avon mascara, too . . . I think it's called Exasperating Lengths, or something like that . . . she says it's very good, and much cheaper than Lancome . . . although, I do think Lancome mascaras, are probably the best.

The list, goes on . . .

I adore their Retroactive face cream.
You can look sallow and tired...and apply a smidge of this cream...and your skin will glow!
I also love the Moisture Therapy Hand Cream. Great stuff...that heals even the worst cases of dry, cracked skin. I even use it on my feet.


I'm a little ticked with Avon right now, though.
Just spent $10 on their new 'Instant Nails'...the peel-and-stick manicure.
First off, the danged 'stickers' aren't sized well...and they are next to impossible to put on without getting serious creases and bubbles.
I called my Avon rep and left a message telling her I really want my money refunded on these AWFUL things.
I haven't heard from her.

I am someone with ultra sensitive skin particularly on my face.

These two moisturize my skin wonderfully, leaving it moisturized (much needed) and softened.

Maximum Moisture Super Hydrating Gel - can be worn as a moisturizer or even apply thickly and used as a quick moisture booster mask - leave on for 20-30 minutes then wash off. GREAT as a daily moisturizer.

Nite-time:
Solutions Hydrofirming Bio6 Night Cream. There's a matching day cream too - can't remember if my skin had a problem with that one, I think it may have reacted, but the night one is fine.

NONE of their cleansers and toners work on me - bad reactions.

I get on very well with every Avon lipstick I've tried.

The Anew Clinical Eye Lift and Anew Alternative Day Cream SPF25 are both brilliant!

Does the Moisture Therapy come in different forms, like oatmeal, etc. If so, which form?

ps When in doubt, I buy a couple of forms. LOL.

I recently bought some shea butter from the local health food store. It is nasty! It's all crystalized and doesn't blend in well. I nuked it in the microwave today (a small amount) to see if it is workable that way.

Contrast that to the jar at L'Occitane yesterday that was smooth. Is the Avon smooth? I assume so.

Karin . . . DEAR . . . I thought you had a new catalogue?? Yes, the moisture therapy comes in different forms. The original, intensive, is my favorite. The Olive Oil version is wonderful . . . but I believe it's discontinued . . . try the exasperating lengths mascara . . . my sister loves it.

The Alternative cream is wonderful! I also like many of their fragrances.


Catie - I tried the stick-on nail polish the other day and loved it! Only the first nail I did had a wrinkle in it but after that I got the hang of it and the other nails came out just fine. What I did was stretch the nail polish just a little as I applied it towards the tip of each nail. I was just thinking I wanted to order more of them!

I like their SSS sunblocks with bug repellant. They're very light and they don't smell awful.

The Avon Creamy Eye Makeup Remover is the only one I have ever tried that works great without leaving a gloppy mess all over my eyes in the process. I'll try something else every once in a while but always always come back to the Avon white bottle with the blue cap. I have used it for probably 20 years.
