    Morning all

    Just started delivering my orders to my work colleagues today, at least I have made a start on delivering my C11 cats, do have to get out and do some territory tomorrow though am hoping next week will be easier for me as my carpet and sofa come so I will be able to prep my catalogues in the living room again (more space)

    So tried the celsetial eyeshadow from HT 12 I think. I bought the shooting star one and I must say it is rubbish from the point of view that it looks nothing like in the catalogue, it is just one colour when applied although there is some blue/gold in the pot, it goes on gold! And where is the shimmer? I thought the light was supposed to catch the shimmering particles...WHERE? I will not be recommending this to my customers and will be sending it right back!

    I have a couple of things missing again!!! Nothing big, but the hairdressers that ordered £64.00 worth is a charm down, shame really as I hate to dissapoint when I get big orders.

    How is everyone else doing?

    I ordered the multi colour lipstick before from HT and sent that right back too - the applicator was just SO weird!

    I have to say, I saw the Spectracolor 'lipstick' at a call-in and wasn't impressed. It just seemed to be a lip gloss with gimmicks :D I think there may be a lot of dissatisfied customers if they are expecting a lipstick!

    BTW - anyone after the Sales Incentives thingy, don't forget your email address when you PM as I can't do attachments on a PM.

  • I LOVE the spectracolour lipstick, totally agree it should be lipGLOSS though! I'm obsessed with lipgloss and usually take like 3 around with me so its pretty darn useful to me personally having the choice of colours. It goes on loads better with a brush though and stays put pretty well. I normally reapply about 20times at work through boredom but i'm not quite so obsessive with this.

    I love the spectracolour lippy, but it should be classed as a gloss.
    I think it is handy for your colour spectrum, if you stick to one colour, mines is usually Browns it is fab as a light one for day time and twist it for a darker/heavier look for night time :T
    I would just point out to folk it is more of a glass than lipstick though, but don't think you will have many returns.
    Damn, I loved the look of the celstial shadow too, glad I never ordered it, I like colours to change :rolleyes:
    Life is what you make it;)

  • Karen I loved the look of the celstial eyeshadow too, I was torn between the darker one and this one (Shooting Star), was gonna buy both, glad I didn't now! The cat makes it look amazing, I fear if I get orders for this, I'm gonna get a lot of returns. It does not do what the mag shows at all! I just had a look at in just now in the light and it just looks like a pale gold! I already have loads of eyeshadow like that:mad:

    I hate when they do that, personally I would hold on to the demo for showing people who order it, what it will look like so you don't have hunners of returns.
    think I may order it for the reason I don't want others to be annoyed, you never know they may love it anyway :rotfl:

    you might need to phone Avon hun :(
    the code for C9 was 14373 for 5-6 yrs old

    but you can't backorder that far back online, but if they have stock they will sell it via the phone :D

    Yes, that's a good point. If you need something from a campaign that is no longer available online, phone them. Online is normally current and current - 1, but items for - 2 are still orderable if you contact them directly.
