AVON! ANEW ULTIMATE ELIXIER PREMIUM!

Sharond here! I remember the first time I heard of Avon. I was in the 10th grade in my very small town high school. My best friend told me she was now selling Avon and handed me a little booklet filled with all this perfume and bath products you could buy. I was overwhelmed with the selections because all I was used to was the local 5 and Dime and their meager assortment of products. The first thing I bought was the whole set of Field Flowers. I don't remember if they had makeup at that time or not. My girlfriend became quite wealthy from her little business adventure going on to own a wonderful garden and design center. I then lost track of Avon when I went off to college. Many years later I met another Avon lady who has since become a dear friend. I can tell you that Avon is no longer the old Avon. The products are wonderful, the jewelry is very good for the price and now you can order online for mere $3.00 shipping.

Avon started out in 1886 as the California Perfume Company when founder, Mr. David McConnell, 28, of New York, NY, discovered that the rose oil perfumes he was giving away were the reason people were buying his books. The first Avon Sales Representative was Mrs. P.F.E. Albe. The first product produced was called the Little Dot Perfume Set and included five fragrances: Violet, White Rose, Heliotrope, Lily-of-the-Valley, and Hyacinth.

The company was named Avon in 1939, after the river that runs through Stratford-On-Avon in the English Midlands. The name is a tribute to McConnell's favorite playwright, William Shakespeare, who hailed from the town. Avon has become one of the largest cosmetic companies in the world. Today, Avon's fastest growing markets are in China and Russia. In some markets (most notably China, which had banned all door-to-door selling before mid-December 2006) Avon products are sold primarily in retail stores.

I want to tell you about one of the best new elixirs among any facial products anywhere. Anew Ultimate Elixir Premium promises to regain up to ten years of visible youth and I can vouch that I agree. Maybe not ten years they claim, but at least seven. This product is formulated with 2X the remodeling protein boosters to tighten and lift the skin's structure. My cheeks do look and feel tighter, my jowls, jaw line and neck feel lifted, wrinkles seem filled in or erased and I just plain look younger.

This elixir is a creamy serum that is light brown almost off white in color. It comes in a beautiful black modern designed bottle. On the Avon site, a few people complained that it was hard to get out all the elixir when the bottle when it is near empty. I have not used enough for the bottle to verify this problem. I massage the elixir in my face and neck after washing and toning both morning and night and follow with my favorite moisturizer. It soaks in quickly without leaving a greasy feel. I noticed the changes almost immediately and have seen improvements continue. I have used products that are much more expensive and not had results as good as this product delivers. Now that I have used this product for 3 weeks I can tell you, the readers of Meg's, that this is a must buy for your mature skin care regimen. You will not be disappointed.

Avon is involved in Breast Cancer Crusade. Reese Witherspoon is the celebrity sponsor. To get involved in the upcoming two day walk please check out the following site Sharond

Does anyone else love the new Avon as much as I do? BUY IT HERE!

Looks like you can buy online at http://shop.avon.com/shop/. I've shopped there a couple of times (originally to get something reviewed here) and had good experiences.

Thanks for the great review! I have pleasant memories of Avon from my childhood and early teen years - I was allowed to order something from the Avon Lady when she would visit our house and I was the 1st makeup and fragrances (remember Honeysuckle and Moonwind?) I ever had and was the beginning of my lifelong love affair with beauty products. Like my fellow redhead, mjsred, I have to ask where do you buy Avon products? I don't anyone who sells them. Doesn't look like you can buy online. I would def like to try this product.

The new Avon is definitely better then the old Avon.  Gone are the age old "Avon" smells.  And in are the new smells, and the great new products.

i havent tried too many Avon products but i heard a lot of positive reviews about their skincare line from my friends. i usually dont like to buy from representatives because then i feel like i need to keep spending money on a regular basis with them. i love that avon has an option to buy online now!

I haven't used Avon in many years, but, might have to try this. And a couple other things I see mentioned on MMU.  I know through Mypoints they are always offering nice points values and free shipping.

I haven't used avon in years, but one of my employees has started selling it, so I am going to order a bunch of stuff to try. Has anyone used their mineral makeup? I'm interested to see how it compares to BE.

Avon.  Oh what a flashback.  But I did just check out the link and they really do seem to have overhauled their appearance.  Thanks for the great review.  Glad you had success with the serum.

I'm such an Avon junkie, and I have been for years.  I started out with their hand lotion, and then i moved on to Glimmersticks eyeliner...I don't really like Avon makeup very much (except for the Glimmersticks and Glazewear lipglosses), but their skin care is exceptional.  And I love their little tubes of hand lotions, and the scented body washes and lotions.  Some of the Mark perfumes are great too.

I LOVE Avon and Mark, as well as my Avon rep (85 year old retired Grandma, she's so sweet!) While I'm a bit young for looking for creams to get rid of wrinkles, I'm glad people are taking advantage of their quality products. I might even get some of this for my mom! I never really know how some of their anti-aging products stack up against some of the more expensive products out there, so thanks for the post!
