Avon has come a long, long way from being the cheesy brand most preferred by bored housewives.
After getting some A-list names on board to be product ambassadors — Salma Hayek, Lauren Conrad, Reese Witherspoon and Patrick Dempsey — Avon is getting big brands on board for partnerships, too.
Internationally-known Finnish textile company Marimekko collaborated with Avon on a limited-edition cosmetics collection using the former’s Unikko pattern, and it’s finally out on the market. Look out for eye shadow, face powder, lip gloss, mascara and accessories influenced by the iconic, recognizable poppy motif.
Talk about flower power.
Patrick Dempsey was an Avon ambassador?? Seriously? If you’re not picky about the ingredients in your cosmetics, Avon’s cosmetics perform very well. In my humble non-affiliated opinion, Avon has excellent R&D.
The flower designs are very pretty, but the colors? Not so much. I’d have liked them to do a deep plum palette for eyes.
