    I'm another one who can vouch for Lotus Shield - I also found I didn't need to re-straighten my hair! Amazing stuff <3

    I agree with you all, the Lotus shield is excellent.
    My daughter is trying the split end mender 35832 for me, she said she was quite impressed as she has loads of split ends and this worked about 90% and made her hair feel lovely, couldnt believe it she is never impressed usually

    yes, I don't understand this, but I suppose they cannot predict accurately the popularity of a product. They may have previously ordered a lot of branded items to be manufactured to only find they cannot sell them.

    Sorry aureol, this really made me giggle! Avon predict popularity? Well, never mind the branded products, do sales predictions ever happen?

    Flip flops ... pedometers ...

    Methinks they just need someone with an ounce of common sense in the planning department!!

    Mind you, I'd say sales predictions for the branded stuff is less easy to predict as the prices are usually higher anyway - and with places like TK Maxx about you can get branded stuff cheaper on the high street now.

    Thanks girls also for the lotus shield review - I used the sample, but not used it since. Have ordered myself a bottle this time to give it a proper go! If I don't need to re-straighten my hair on the second day I think I'll be dancing in the street!!

    I don't always submit my orders on the date due.

    No I'm usually a day early, mostly because I panic that the website will be cronky on the due date because everybody's trying to use it! Not sure if it affects my stock levels though.

    Apparently have a pair of flip flops coming this time (not checked my boxes yet), but not the second pair, but still no pedometers! Thankfully they for for me and OH, not for a customer.

    Big ticks for the new Herve Leger perfume though!! It was in the same box as my HT so dug it out and had a spray this morning. Will see how it lasts ...... !!

    Delivered about 100 books last night for canvassing along with my customer books. Gee, can't wait for Wednesday next week when I'm picking them up!!

    What happens if you submit early, is your delivery any earlier?

    Oooh, well can I suggest you use the "contact us" on the Avon website, and submit an enquiry with a subject line of "Job Application", your email will be picked up by the appropriate department promptly and efficiently.

    Oooh, the sarcasm ........

    Sorry I submitted a complaint on 28th July with regards to the missing items, and nobody has got back to me yet. Just going to chase it up ......

    No, its still the same day, you just get peace of mind that your order is in and all done and your not scrabbling around at 9:30pm on the due date trying to get the website to work!

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Presumably the split end stuff only works while the product is on the hair and doesn't mend the split ends permanently?
