Dare I ask? Have you found any AVON products to be less than satisfactory? Tell all here.

My partner Ross, got one of the talking Homer mugs from the clearance bit a few campaigns ago, it sounds garbled and nothing like homer. The few phrases you can understand are amusing though.

I bought a massage kit, it was a lot smaller than I thought. It was on sale though and not for my benefit, so I don't mind. Just thought I'd share.

I agree, I think it looked awful. Anyone notice they've had skipping ropes, aqua weights etc in the clearance bit, and it's just the same as the full priced stuff out atm, only it's pink... Why buy the full-proced one when you can get the same thing cheaper?

I got the walking set, the pedometer is fine, the arm band for putting wallet/mp3 player... Well I have a video ipod, so it's too big as is my smallest wallet, so sadly I have little use for the otherwise nifty little armband. That makes it a bit of waste of money though really.

Did anyone get those body fat scales a few books ago? I considered it, but missed my chance in the process of procrastinating. Anyone know if they were any good?

It's probably not a good idea to purchase the pebble bath matts either. Two were delivered to me on two seperate campaigns both of which were broken, probably in transit. I haven't ordered any more...

I had two customers order the pebble mats last time and they were fine. Maybe it was just bad luck.

The body fat scales are in the clearance section of one of the upcoming HT mags, so I have another chance to get one.

We got the water fountain that was on offer a while back in the wellbeing section, the actual fountain is really small, and the colour is just an orange buld, I think it'd look nicer without it. The biggest let down though is the noise. You can barely hear the trickling of the water for the really loud motor! I wouldn't reccomend this to anyone.

I would not recommend to buy 'water Lilly mountain' as it looks cheap and makes a lot of annoying noise. Sad Another disappointing product was 'foot works pedi-peel pads'. It does not make any difference and the pads are too small for any movements on the foot. Sad

I just bought the Gemma necklace, it'd be fine if the ribbon wasn't sooo long, it looks stupid. I might have to consider revamping it lol!

I ordered the twist and tone disc-with huuuge excitement, dreaming of a tiny waist. I have used a similar one at the gym... so I thought!
Firstly, getting to stand on it, before it goes on a rollercoaster spin is a work of art itself. Those things are suppose to have a bit of resistant so you have to do the work of twisting it from side to side. This one has no resistant, and I found myself grabbing the doorhandle in a life&death spinning situation and had to sit down for several minutes after finally getting of the f#*#*r to regain my balance Embarassed . It is sitting nicely in my cupboard now. Maybe I will give it as a xmas present to my evil auntie Laughing

One of my customers didnt like the Glazewear diamonds Gold Foil eye colour as she said could barely see it on her skin tone and besides it didn't stay on! Also she didn't like the Sparkle Lash and Line as the mascara was disappointing and the eyeliner again in gold was too pale and didnt stay on.

I was also slightly disappointed with the pillow with the speaker inside, I bought a similar one for my boyfriend last christmas off iwoot and its brilliant, so was impressed that avon had one too. But when a customers arrived the pillow felt way too thin and the speaker is far too big so can feel it, I don't know how anyone gets any sleep on it!

That is annoying. One of my customers brought the Instant Press-on-Eyeshadow an said they were pants as they didn't fit her eye shape, so they just looked ridiculous!
