This is a long shot, but have you come across a 1979 catalog that contains the details of a cement mixer shaped aftershave and talc decanter? I'm down a bit of a rabbit hole I fear and would love to find the advertisement for it!!
I went looking and I saw on eBay all the catalogs for 1979 available for $40. Maybe it is there, I did see the cologne available for purchase but no advertisement ☹️
AVON!!! I was just getting ready t go to bed and I saw this…now I’ve gotta watch it! I will comment again later, thanks for showing this catalog, Cole! ❤️
i love that they went all out with oversimplified, ultra sweet Valentines aesthetic but also somehow managed to give it such a weird, haunting vibe with The Ghost of Valentines Past cover model. get you a girl who can do both, I guess lol
Avon is mostly about fragrance and also perfume decanters with many adorable and quirky shapes 😆😆 Maybe you can slowly own some of them in the future 😁😁
I loved what you did with the background sounds in this video, very engaging 😁 it's also really cool that you got your hands on one that somebody filled out. I always love finding old annotated books, helps me feel connected to the past
This was so fun, Cole! I’ve been selling since 1986 but I still remember these 70’s catalogs that my mom got. Ariane! Loved it! I had quite a few decanters and bottles with that scent. You mentioned Raisin Wine enamel- that was one of my best sellers! Avon today is nothing like the old Avon of yore- thank you for sharing! ❤️
Raisin Wine... maybe it sells so well because people are transfixed by that inventive name. My mom was recently telling me about getting Sweet Honesty when she was a teen, given as a Christmas gift each year from her mother - Avon runs in the family apparently!
Sweet Honesty is still such a huge seller! I actually delivered an order to a customer yesterday that had ordered Sweet Honesty deodorant and it’s still out of stock since before Christmas! It’s very popular!
Ha! When I was a child, my grandma also had decorative soaps that were separate from the real soap you were actually supposed to use. Soap is beautiful I guess?
finally some AVON ;D pls look for the more modern catalogs as well,like from 2000's and up,or at least from the late 80's and 90's omg or the ORIFLAME ones! ;OOO
Omg this is so up my street, I love retro valentine’s aesthetic, I was secretly hoping you would do something with a wedding theme soon and this really satisfies that need! I used to have a cushion that looked exactly like a bigger version of that sachet.
So cute! I much prefer this to all the junk in stores now. My cat watched this whole video and she doesn't even like TV, must be doing something right 😅
great video love it! i will be sending you some 90s victoria magazines soon i hope you like them as much as i have! i’d love to hear what you have ti say about them 😊
I sold Avon several times over the decades. It’s a good product and I feel, very underrated. Love your videos!
Thanks for watching! :)
I'd forgotten about the stickpin craze in the 70s! So many girls in school wore them in their cowl-neck sweaters.
A perfect combo!

No, I haven't seen that yet! Sounds very goofy and very Avon - I'll have to keep an eye out.

I am so obsessed with the 70s/80s valentine's day aesthetic. Heart shape tubs, dark red roses, white lace!! It all owns my heart!!!
I agree! I think my actual heart may secretly just be a red construction paper heart with a paper doily glued to it.

Yes, Avon is back! Thanks for staying up to watch :)

I'd be down to sniff some ancient Avon perfumes.
“these are way worse things! I don’t want any of this stuff!” LOL Just re-watched, so entertaining! Keep it coming, Cole!
More to come soon! Thanks for (re)watching!!
OMG I had the Good Fairy perfume when I was in kindergarten. Her wand glowed in the dark.

Totally! Finding some trace of the previous owner is always a treasure.
Back in my day I had several stick pins as part of my jewelry collection.

Cool I recently found that class of 79 pendant in a thrift store. 🙂
Oooo what a great find 👀
My mum had a basket of what seemed like 100s of different kinds of soaps on the back of the toilet growing up. You just don’t see that anymore lol.
Ha! When I was a child, my grandma also had decorative soaps that were separate from the real soap you were actually supposed to use. Soap is beautiful I guess?
This just showed up for me to watch ! Why was this so entertaining!?
Welcome the channel! :)
I have long acrylics, a nail brush is a MUST for me
Oooh, that is something I didn't consider! 💅
finally some AVON ;D

I have late 80s/90s catalogs coming up in the near future! It’s a little hard to find y2k era unfortunately.
18:28 I couldn’t take my eyes off that hand and cuff, truly aspirational
Love a disembodied beautiful *action hand*!

I like the Hawaiian White Ginger psychedelic packaging on the soap for 99 cents.
@@carolynholody9281 a bargain for a psychedelic adventure 🚀
15:48? Is that Michelle Stafford? (Phyllis on "The Young and the Restless")
Looks like her, but she would have been only 14 in 1979. So it is possible but unlikely I'm afraid!
Not the field work Betty Boop montage! 😂
I can always count on Betty B to come through with Blingee GIFs to fit any theme ✨
great video love it!
i will be sending you some 90s victoria magazines soon i hope you like them as much as i have! i’d love to hear what you have ti say about them 😊
Wow, thank you so much!!! 🤩
Definitely looking forward to checking out Victoria for the first time 👒
Have you considered doing ASMR versions of these?
I don't have the high quality microphone or appropriate soundproofing needed, unfortunately :/
