It’s officially two weeks ago now that AVON pulled the plug
on the business in Ireland. Apparently they were losing money.
Since I stopped being a business developer last year I read
the news on facebook.
I was in shock. And also a bit sad.
Not because the loss of income, because even though I
officially was still a representative I didn’t do a lot of AVON work. But I
still felt a loss.
I felt a loss because I had become so dependent on so many
AVON products myself and I was just about to put a nice order in for myself for
some products we use at home and which had run out.
The prices of the AVON products are so affordable and what I
also loved about AVON shopping is that you didn’t have to leave the door to go
to a drugstore or supermarket to look for products. It was so convenient.
Apparently a few business developers- for whom this still
was their main income – have decided to take their teams to Oriflame.
I’m not so sure about trying that yet. But I’m interested in
seeing a brochure.
If they really have similar products and prices I might at
least become a customer.
Apparently here in Ireland we can still order products
through the UK website and then get them shipped through Parcel motel. I had a
look though and the AVON shop unfortunately doesn’t have the same offers as the
brochure. So I’m not sure if I will ever do that. We’ll see.
At the moment I’m about to blow dry my hair and straighten
it with a flat iron after not having done that for almost two years.
I did some research on internet through youtube and so on
and realised that I needed a lot of products to moisturise and protect my hair.
So I decided to shop my cupboards and found a lot of
different hair products I had purchased from AVON. Anti frizz shampoo, damage
repair shampoo, mask and leave in elixir, conditioner, leave in conditioner,
heat protection spray. I was thrilled.
It saves me from having to buy all those products.
Today when I got ready for work, here are the AVON products
that I used.

moisturiser

I guess I will have to find a way to replace all those items
(and others not mentioned) when they finish.
