To put it simply, I didn't feel that this conditioner (paired with it's matching shampoo) helped my color last any longer. It also made my hair flatter than usual, while somehow not offering enough moisture to my ends. It gets points for it's fragrance and price, and the fact that it might be great for someone who doesn't have fine, damaged hair.

This seemed like just a basic shampoo to me. My color faded at it's usual rate while I was using it. Additionally, it wasn't moisturizing enough for my dry ends. It smells great, of course, but that's about it.

I've never disliked a body wash this much! I bought the pink version of this, and it smelled fine in the store. However, I noticed a wierd, unbearable smokey smell when it combined with water. I wondered if it was just me, maybe the scent of the body wash combining with the scent of my hair conditioner or something...So, I used it later on my 5-year-old in the bathtub. There was that sickening bitter smell again. What's worse, when I drained the tub, it was coated with a pinky yellowish-brown waxy goo that I had to SCRUB to remove! I'm disgusted with this product. Unfortunately, I'd bought two of them on sale, and I had to throw them both away (so mad!!!).

This is a very good long-lasting lipstick. The formula is smooth, not very thick, and it feels lightly moisturizing. It seems to stain lips a bit, so the color lasts about 5 hours. It's an excellent value for the price when you can get it on sale (probably half the time). I do wish the color selection was better. As usual with their lipsticks, Avon doesn't offer this in enough nude/natural shades. Hence, Nude Blush is the only color I have - but it is a really great color.

This "peel" is just ok. I do notice that I can skip moisturizer on the days that I use it, and that it rids my skin of any dullness or flakiness. However, I bought it in the hopes of reducing some old acne marks and treating mild acne (as some reviewers said it would with it's glycolic acid), and it hasn't helped there at all. I don't consider it to be worth the $15 I paid for 30 pads. Alternate use: These are a great (if expensive) way to remove self-tanner mistakes!

I found this to be a good under-eye concealer in not-so-great packaging. The concealer itself is very yellow (I bought it in "Light"), which makes it better than a regular concealer at hiding purplish dark circles. It worked well for me because I have yellow undertones in my skin, though I can imagine there are a number of skin tones for which this really wouldn't work. The formula blends well and lasts all day. It doesn't settle into fine lines at all. My only complaint is with the way this is packaged: A ridiculous amount of twisting has to be done to get the concealer to come up through the brush. Like, I have to turn the end of the tube for more than twenty seconds to get it to come out EVERY TIME (the first time I used it I had to turn it for a whole minute!). It seems like this thing doesn't hold much product inside, either. Perhaps the one I got is defective, but if not, I'd really prefer a regular wand-in-tube applicator.

This is an excellent mascara. It made my lashes really BIG without getting clumpy, and it lasted all day without flaking or smudges. It did take some extra work to remove, but that's a small price to pay for mascara this effective. I'll definitely buy this one again!

This top coat truly does dry your polish instantly. As for the "anti-chip" part, it's barely better than average. It's not super shiny, either. I end up using it really often anyway because I always seem to be doing my nails in a hurry. This gets a high rating because of how fast it dries.

This cream moisturizes well enough for what I expected, but there's something underneath the scent that really isn't very good. I tried Irresistible Apple, Cherry Blossom, and Warm Vanilla Sugar, and all of them have the same strange, bitter undertone. It makes them smell cheap, or maybe old (like expired perfume). The other products in the Signature Collection don't have this, so it must be some ingredient in the cream that just smells kind of bad, and the fragrance can't mask it. I'll wear this at home just to use it up, but I won't use this if I'm going to work or anywhere.

...to anyone who is impressed that these patches have removed anything at all from their feet: They remove nothing. Not even dirt. Patches like this contain a type of dried vinegar that turns brown when it comes in contact with moisture (and your feet sweat while you sleep). I used to sell Avon, and I was so mad when I saw that they'd made these things available! They're a total scam, not to mention totally disgusting. And no, I did not try them - I'm writing based on what I've read in magazines about this type of product. I want to spread the word!
