    My Mom used to buy Avon in the 70's and I even remember our Avon lady. Sally would come over and over a cup of coffee my Mom would make her selections. I wore Sweet Honesty and I had that lipgloss in the chocolate chip container. It smelled and tasted like chocolate. My Dad had the cologne in the cowboy boot decanter. My older sister is an Avon lady since the 80's. She did very well selling it when she worked at an office. Today, everything is online but she still has customers.

    My mom was sophisticated. She didn’t buy Avon for herself but if someone at her office sold it, she’d pick up a few of the girl things for me. I really loved how sophisticated she was. She taught me so much in her body care and to see all the jars and bottles on her 70s vanity table made me happy. She made me so proud that she was my mom, coming to school and looking ao pretty, looking so pretty at work. It was a different time and there was so much put into going to work. She was so beautiful.

    My grandma was one of the top accounts for avon, she passed away on Christmas Eve and we've been going through her stuff. She has soooo much vintage avon. The car colognes, cream satchel, the floral solid perfume, jewelry, nursery rhymes perfume etc and we're not even half way through. I have her 25th anniversary Tiffany watch they gave her and the photos of the party. I love seeing these catalogs

    In the 70’s I was a young boy. I used Avon talc, my favourites were Charisma and Topazio. From ages 6 to 11 I never left the house without Crème Sheen for my hair. Never. The fading cream had 10% hydroquinone, which is now forbidden at such high concentration but God it worked. I used to seal my aunt’s lip gloss (in the shape of a strawberry that you could open). There was a matt formula and a gloss. I used to EAT it as it smelled so good…..

    I will never understand why Avon doesn't embrace the nostalgia. If they brought back the lipglosses alone PEOPLE WOULD LOSE THEIR MINDS. Going through the catalog as a kid was utter joy. Their packaging was so much amazing. The hamburger was SO hot in my late grade school. If you didn't have one, you were just not cool. I'm super intrigued by the eyeshadow wand. I don't remember that. Also the turntable (?!) lipgloss that was in the upper left hand corner of your lipgloss group photo. I do not remember that. Might have to find me one? Thanks so much!

    My grandmother had an Avon lady named Eva who would come over her house sometimes on Saturday afternoons while I visited her as a child in the 70s. She would sometimes give me one of those tiny lipstick samples and my grandmother would make coffee and and would have a dessert to serve, and it was an event. She would let me paint my nails with her Avon polishes and I think that's where my makeup obsession began. 💜

    *Slipping in the bathtub on Skin So Soft residue.

    Anyone remember Pearls and Lace? My mom sold Avon in the early 80s... I loved looking in her boxes and smelling everything. The bath paint soap in roll on bottles were so fun. I can remember all the smells. I love the trinkets and Christmas ornaments. My choir in high school sold Avon for a fundraiser in 1996! I still like their products. Shame that the new owners are pushing prestige priced products. I hope they go back to the affordable and high quality product business model.

It was so wonderful and I enjoyed it for quite a few years. I even had some relative start Avon ladies we still have some of the products in our home. It was wonderful. I do still have the egg ,ice cream cone,cookie,hamburger lip gloss under my h.s, stepping back graduation pic in the yearbook said” Does anyone want to look at an Avon book??”

    Yes, the lip gloss and sample mini lipsticks were so my favorite. I had a half strawberry that opened up. One side had a thin sheer red gloss and the other side was a thick frosted pink gloss. I couldn't believe how it had seed indentations on the outside and a fluffy green stem. I used it forever.

    Ahhhhh Skin So Soft. My mom and step mom used to put it on us kids at every outdoor event to keep the mosquitos away. And it really worked. I had forgotten all about that stuff. Very common for my mom to put in my bath water too.
    My aunt sold Avon and she used to give me some of the lipstick samples when I was little. It began a life long love of lipstick. I am rarely seen without some on.
    I also remember the solid perfumes. I used to get those for christmas in my stocking. And OMG those novelty lip glosses. I had the burger, the chocolate chip cookie, the lips and the hershey's kiss.
    This is bringing back some very good memories.

    My grandma bought so much Avon. When I was too old for kid perfume but too young for the “fancy stuff” we landed on Avon’s Here’s My Heart. I still have a white glass poodle decanter that has a faint scent of it. They also made a girls’ perfume called Small World that came in bottles that looked like dolls from different countries. I still have one with blonde molded hair and a purple dress with printed white lace. Also has a faint scent. Small World was a better scent than Tinkerbell, the most common girls’ perfume. I also had a little bottle of Avon Apple Blossom perfume in middle school that I loved. Flowery but fresh.

    My mom was an Avon lady in the 80s and continued on and off through the 90’s and early 2000’s. She had a big collection of their perfumes, skincare and beauty products. When I was a kid in the 80s she would get me all the lip balms in cute packaging and fruity scents. They also had perfumes sets for little girls and she would get me that. I actually still have a spray bottle of skin so soft oil that she got me a few yrs ago when she made an accept to get back into selling but wasn’t as successful due to all the competition in beauty products nowadays. This video was very nostalgic. It reminded me of my childhood. Thank you for making it.

    The packaging of Avon in the 60s and 70s were just breathtakingly beautiful, I bet it looked extremely fancy and pretty on the vanity and was the epitome of femininity and glamour. Even just carrying those lipsticks must have been so much fun, I would have given anything to buy those items and experience an Avon lady coming to my house and show my all the beautiful new products❤️ sad how much time changes everything…I will miss Avon forever.

I have a good size collection of Avon decanters; my favorites are the peacock and the rooster. I have used Nurtura replenishing cream for 45 years. I sold Avon for 19 years and was a President’s Club representative. I still buy Avon but it is now a Korean owned company and it becoming more of an online cosmetic company.

I remember I had a couple of those mini white lipsticks in brick red and a rich brown, which I'd carry in my little purse. I would love to have those lipsticks again. I also miss the scents of those creams.

    I also enjoy the Tupperware era where I hosted parties for people to sell- I miss the catalogs and those times when we could get together & enjoy community & comradeship♥️🤝🎈
    I enjoy watching this vid, thanks for sharing… I’ll visit the website to see what’s available now… of course buy some of the old & new cool stuff we all like and love!

    My best friend Suzy,s mom was a Avon lady. We loved to raid her stash of samples! This was in the 60’s and they had mini lipsticks to sample and we just had to try them all on to her mother’s chagrin… we ruined them unfortunately. She would try to hide them in the closet or in the attic but we always found them..for hours we try on all the makeup eyeshadows, powder, blush we were in heaven..so much so I spent my career in the makeup business from sales to artistry and even development. 30+ years in HEAVEN!
    By the the way many moms sold makeup door to door, Jafra, Mary Kay, etc…..it was an awaking of female entrepreneurship.

    Very nice video! Took me back! My sister and I lost our Mom in the early 70s, and one of our school friend's Mom was our AVON lady.. she came every week to sit with us and show us the new products, (and leave us samples!) and bring us what our allowance bought. We always made sure the house was immaculate for her visit. We went through the 70's in our teens with AVON, going through the awesome brochures deciding on the next fun purchase! (I had the choc chip cookie lip gloss.. yum!) & my first lipstick was a sample .. (rum raisin) that I just used lightly to color & outline to give natural look which was "In" in the 70s. That sample lasted me a looong time! Yes to the SSS, (still have!) Miss the variety though, and unique products and constant new and old fav. Avon fragrances ! It was a positive and wonderful memory! I really wish AVON would go back to that MO!!! I sure Miss THAT AVON!!!!

I used to get excited to get those toys they had in the back of the catalog. Lots of good memories.

    Wow! What a walk down memory lane! Thank you for this video. My Grandma, Aunt and Mom all bought Avon. I remember sitting at my Grandma's kitchen table, going through the catalog. And looking through everything on my Aunt's vanity. And almost always receiving something from Avon on my birthday. As a teenager, I had every bubble bath they had, would get under the sink and choose. This video just brought back so many memories. Years later, I met my boyfriend in 2018. He has several items he has on a shelf...trucks, a screwdriver, a boot, a spark plug, a pistol, lol and a few others, all bottles or plastic shapes, that once held cologne. He said his Mom bought them for him and he cherishes them. I think a lot of us that grew up in the 70's and 80's have similar experiences and memories of Avon. It really was so different back then too, I miss those days😢

    I remember when I was about 10 (1971), the Avon lady as we called her, would come to our house. I think my Mother felt pressured to buy something every time she would come, so I ended up getting Hawaiian White Ginger stick perfume and a few Perfumes in the limited edition glass bottles. One was a yellow plastic lady with a full frosted glass skirt and the other a hunk of frosted glass cheese wedge with a gold mouse as the cap. Both were simple "Granny" rose perfumes that I didn't really like, but that was what the Avon Lady suggested as the appropriate perfume for a young girl. To this day I hate plain rose perfumes, haha! I also had the chocolate cookie shown in a photo here that unscrewed to reveal two frosted lip glosses, one pink and one peach. I saved that for years and then just threw it out one day in my 30s. I wish I had kept those things now. Those were my first perfumes until Loves Baby Soft in High School and on it goes till the large fragrance collection I own today.

    I was a preteen and teen in the 70s and I loved the Avon catalogs. Also loved the kitschy decanters and bottles, both of my grandmas had some but my mom didn't like Avon.

    My mom always had the Avon lady at our house, I even remember her name Mary! Lol she would give me the tiny samples❤️❤️❤️I had the perfume pins, they were different characters. They had a little pot of wax perfume in it and you could open it up. I had tons of them. I hope I’m explaining it well. It would be fun to see them again. ❤

    Avon was so fun. It was exciting to get your order, in a little white bag from your Avon lady. The scents and the perfumes were distinctive and I’m sure if I smelled them today I’d be taken right back to 1980.

    My Mom sold Avon, we had tons of the little sample lipsticks, perfumes and bubble baths. Skin So Soft was my favorite though, it smelled so clean. I still have a bit of jewelry pieces from back then as well.

    My Noni was an avid collector of Avon perfume and cologne bottles. I have fond memories of them from when I was a little girl in the 80s. But unfortunately as an adult who suffers from migraines triggered by scent, I can now only admire them from afar. Avon perfume is seriously potent. The scent lingers even when the bottles are empty.

    When I was in the 8th grade back in the early 90's my mom bought me makeup from Avon, it was the first time I actually wore real makeup and I was so excited, and my mom also bought me perfume from Avon as well as my sister, I remember my sister's perfume Sweet Honesty, when my first boyfriend came over my sister sprayed her perfume all over me that I felt like I took a shower in it. Those were good memories.

    I wore Sweet Honesty for years in the 70s and didn't realize it was still around. Avon Jewelry especially their poison rings with the solid perfume is another wonderful product. My mother wore Topaz and Honeysuckle for years. Loved these products as a teenager. Skin so Soft does keep mosquitoes away we this used it all summer.

    I want back the perfumes and makeup from the fifties, sixties and seventies! I bought a couple of specialty bottles that had two old perfumes in them. I got them off eBay. That’s the only way I know of to get my hands on those old perfumes. A few years back Avon brought back a nineties perfume which was nice. I bought Topaze which I think was a rerelease. I love it but it doesn’t last! I would also love to have the old packaging back! Can you imagine getting your cream sachets in decorative glass bottles again! And the bath powders/dusting powders in glass containers with the floofy pouf! And the fancy packaging designs on the powder compacts and lipsticks! Yes, I’ve been on Pinterest looking at old ads!
