Disadvantages: Read catalogue carefully!

I have recently had a look at Avon products after a gap of several years, and on the whole been pleasantly surprised. For a start, they offer a much greater variety nowadays, from basics such as deodorants and shower gels to luxury skincare products, perfumes, make up, jewellery, ladies underwear, bags, toys and ornaments. There isn't a huge choice in each category of course, but enough for an enjoyable browse. My personal favourites so far are their basic roll on deodorants (50 mls for 99p) and their Daily Vitamin Moisturiser (50 mls for £10, but very effective and well-absorbed). Other plus points include a money back guarantee for most products, plus numerous special offers, for example buy 1, choose another for £1. These are excellent value but easily missed; look for a small band at the bottom of certain pages in the catalogue. At the same time, it is a good idea to check the size of the product you are ordering (all information is in the catalogue) because some are smaller than would be expected elsewhere. Delivery times vary and payment is due on receipt of the goods, which means that the Avon lady (or man) is likely to appear on the doorstep every few weeks. Some people might find this quite intrusive, but there is no obligation to buy every time and in general the products and prices seem to compare well with other makes.
