Is it true Avon’s finishing? I just saw it on Facebook. I hope it’s not.

looks pretty certain Macs.

Personally I think they've been getting more overpriced and less appealing every year, but I know there are people who have things they love from there so i'm sad for them - as well as for the people who will lose the income

Sadly yes it is true. My Mum and my Nanna always used Avon and I did for a time too. I remember when I was a little kid and the Avon brochures always use to have a special soap collection. I collected soaps and had so many of them. Sadly when we immigrated over here I wasn't allowed to bring them for some reason and had to gift them to family and friends. Such a wonderful collection too :-(

I saw this on the news tonight, such a shame for the Avon users in New Zealand and Australia

Such a shock! I worked at McLeods soap factory in Dunedin many moons ago, and we made some of the fancy shaped Avon soaps - they were tricky devils and expensive to make compared to other soaps, but I loved them. I also loved the perfumes that came in cute bottles.

Ooooh yes, I loved some of their perfumes. There is a new one that I had a sniff of that my Sister has and it smells really nice. Need to get my hands on it before it goes.  It was called Imari Elixir but it was in a body spray.

I like their standard Imari. They used to have a solid perfume called Candid which was absolutely divine. They discontinued it eventually which was a big shame. I've used tons of their perfumes over the years.

I really like the Little Black Dress in the roller form, didn't think I would like it as it was described to me as a musk smell which I don't usually like that much.

Awww that is a real shame.  I guess it was inevitable really as people become more savy using the internet to research product ingredients, youtube tutorials and of course online purchasing of the next and greatest brands.

Avon is based on an outdated business model and needs to change with the times in order to remain competitive.

Oh this is so sad! I really like one of their perfumes called midnight fantasy I think. It's cheap and pretty long lasting, and it smells really fruity and fresh.

It is a shame. But I wasn't entirely surprised.

That's a shame. I remember when I was about 11 or 12, Mum would get a new Avon brochure each month and I would look through it.

To be honest I am not overly suprised. Gave up a few years ago as I found the process to purchase Avon was much like Tupperware, very unaccessible and not changing with the times. Getting in touch with a rep for either was a tedious task and in this day and age when online shopping is so easily available, why bother.

End of an era! Personally, I never even think to buy from Avon. Lots of childhood memories of the soaps and perfume bottles though. My mum was a rep for at one point too.

I still flick through the brochures that my Mum receives, and have tried a few products myself. It was such a great idea for stay-at-home-mums who wanted to earn their own money, and even for people wanting to improve their sales skills and learn a few marketing skills.

I've never purchased from Avon personally or any of the "catalogue" type brands.

I saw this on Facebook too. I remember when I was little and my Mum sold it. It's been around for years! Personally I've never purchased from them before.

End of an era alright.  I feel sorry for the reps that rely on that little bit of extra income
