Avon Customer Review: ANEW Beauty Age-Transforming Foundation SPF 15

Rochelle, a brand-new Beauty Dish reader, sent in this review of the ANEW Beauty Age-Transforming Foundation SPF 15. Rochelle is considering selling Avon. She's been a steady customer for years and especially loves the Anew skin care line.

Here's what Rochelle wrote:

"The first thing you have to understand is that I rarely wear foundation. I don't like how it makes me look like I'm wearing a mask, plus I am prone to breakouts. I got a sample of the ANEW Beauty Age-Transforming Foundation SPF 15 from my regular Avon Rep, Fran. She told me to try it and report back to her and I'm glad I did. I ended up buying a full-size product from Fran. The foundation makes my skin look much smoother and even-toned but you can't tell you're wearing foundation. It doesn't rub off on my collar, which in my work as a waitress is important. The sunscreen in the product is a big plus. I wait tables at an indoor-outdoor cafe in Los Angeles, and that sun can be bright. Another plus is that this foundation really has made my crow's feet a little less visible. I often wait on celebrities, and now I feel like I look like one myself, thanks to Avon."

Avon Lady Quote of the Day

From Jenny who has been an Avon Representative for eighteen years in the greater Orlando area:

"I live near the big Disney park. I know not everyone lives near a big tourist destination, but if you do, I have a good tip. We have so many small hotels around here. I go to the hotels that don't belong to a big chain and give them a big basket of sample cards stapled to brochures. Some of these hotels can't afford to offer complimentary trial size lotions to their guests, so the Avon samples can make a hotel guest feel pampered. Housekeeping puts my brochures in each room. I have gotten a lot of new customers this way."

A little story

I wrote a little story about the morning, my youngest boy, the ways we both tell stories.

Enjoy!
