    Hi everyone, hope you are all enjoying the gorgeous weather. I wondered if anyone could recommend an eyeliner that doesn't smudge for my best customer (i.e myself ;)). I wear contact lenses and seem to rub my eyes a lot, so by the afternoon I have got complete panda eyes. I haven't used an Avon eyeliner before but now mine is coming to an end I can justify buying myself one. Has anyone used any of the Avon ones before and how did they find them? I really need one that is as smudge-proof as poss. Thanks in advance :)

    I have just started doing Avon again. I did it a couple of years ago and my sales leader used to give me 60-70 books for about £2. I think she just sold them on after she had used them. Now I have started again she has said I have to order them from the website. It looks like most of my profit is going to be used on ordering books. Does everybody else order them from the website?

    I sometimes use the glimmerstick ones - really easy to apply, but not smudge proof unfortunately! I'd say the perfectwear would be the best one, but depends if you fancy using liquid eyeliner.

    Yes most people will get them from the website - you don't need to buy too many books though if you have the time to do a few drops/collections each campaign. Plus having the current and previous campaign in use at the same time reduces how many you need to buy even further.

    Yes we do unfortunally, you should get your books for your first two campaigns free though.

    After that I believe it costs £4.86 to order your first lot of 15 books and 50p for every lot after that. Although I may be wrong as I'm newish to this too!

    Okay, thanks. I have about 70 houses so I might do half one week and half the next. Although I might have to ask for more territory to make it all worthwhile then.

    Thanks Lozza, don't know whether I'm brave enough to attempt a liquid eyeliner but I may give it a go xxx

    Not far off - its 48p per lot of 5 after the first 15 :)

    Yay, picked up more orders today and gave one of my reps a helping hand picking up last minute strays.

    But, just when I thought things were going too well, (you know that they say if it sounds too good to be true......)
    Infection in my belly button from the op last week :(:(

    Now, damn thing is itching like crazy. Sudocream applied and patience topped up!

    Did get more orders though and hoping for a last minute rush tonight and tomorrow. :) Well, something has to start going right for me this week.

    Keep at it ladies. My fergie total is up to 29 sets now from C10.

    Woooohooooooooo And as ive sold so many fergies, my ASM said she will give me some Fergie prospecting cards...
    :T wealth is a state of mind :T
