Avon sells skin care, makeup, bath and body and fragrance, online and through its Avon Ambassadors, and it's been around since 1886, when it began as the California Perfume Company.
The number that shapes most orders is $60: reach it and standard ground shipping is free, fall short and it costs $8.
Avon traces its start to David H. McConnell, who sold books on the road and whose perfume samples grew into the business, and the company now marks 140 years. Avon describes itself as the company that pioneered social selling: anyone can sign up as an Ambassador for $0 and earn a discount on their own orders based on what they sell.
Familiar product lines include Skin So Soft body oils and lotions, Anew skin care such as the Ultimate Multi-Performance and Platinum creams, Moisture Therapy hand and body care, fmg Glimmer eyeliners and mascara, and fragrances like Imari, Far Away, Haiku and Rare Pearls. The site also has a digital brochure, a Spanish-language version and a tool for finding a local Ambassador.
