Hi EveryPony!!!
Before I'm gonna ask a couple of things...I would like to tell you a bit of the background story!

I'm a real Girly Girl and love Make-Up and Fragrance and have a planchet full of jars with creams and whatnot in my bathroom! I have also an Antique Vanity table loaded with my Make-Up and lotions and Fragrances and other *stuff* like the clip in roses I always wear in my hair, that is really a signature look of me...I have them in every color matching my clothing!!

I did use for about 10 years a lot of my products from the Swedisch company Oriflame, I have no clue if they are populair across the Big Pond....
I was even a short time a consultant with them, but due to work I couldn't give my Oriflame work not enough time. But I alway stayed what the called a Beauty Member so I could order direct trough them with a discount.
But the last year and a half I got the feeling they where changing, products vanished without a warning, and 2/3 brochures later they where introduced again with a new packaging and a slight name change and with the text NEW!...and a bigger pricetag for the same amount of product...or even less!!!!!  :shocked:
I also had a fair amount of their perfumes, and they where truly of *Big Name* quality but much cheaper and the scents where also very different from eachother.
But again...name change...price change...quality change...but not for the good!!!!
When before a new scent was introduced you could buy it for a price between 15 and 20 euro....now the pricetag is 30 till 35 and even 40 euro!!! Almost double the price!! But...and that is not the worst...every scent the bring out als *New* smell almost the same!!! It looks llike they use a base scent and change only the topnote!! So when the topnote wears off...the perfumes smell almost the same!!!!
And they jacked the prices up of every product....I mean 10 euro for a simple lipstick???? Are you kidding me!!! And when you order one....the container held less product also!!!  :pout: :pout: :pout:
So to make a long story short....I'm beyond disappointed with the whole brand!!!

So in December 2016 I got a brochure from Avon in hands at the Hospital sitting in the waiting room. I recognised this brand as one my Granny and Aunts back in the day used! But Avon does not sell anymore official in The Netherlands unfortunately!! But I live now very short against the border with Germany, so I think a Avon Rep has left her books there, because many people live here and work in Germany and vice versa!

And what a shock it was for me!!!! So many products!!! And so much for so many less Euros then Oriflame!!! So I begun my research to see if I could buy these products! And I found a very nice Lady who lives just at the other side of the border in Germany who sell also to Dutch costumers.
But...and here comes my question....the German Avon sell not every product available in the US!!! We also have our own brochures, but not the Mark magalog, the Living brochure and some fragrances I would love to buy but because they are not in the German range of products, they are out of reach....or I can only buy them for triple the brochure price on eBay...with outrageous shipping prices!!:( :( :(

So now is my question, is there an Avon Lady who would help me to get some products and booklets and is willing to ship to the Netherlands??? I could make my payments trough PayPal and shipping is also not a problem!!!

And I would love to hear about your opinion about the brand Avon!!
