Avon Comes to Astoria
If you’ve never heard of Avon, the way it works is through individual sellers. The new location is a training center – meaning that they’ll be teaching sellers all about the products, and then these sellers will be the ones out there with products. Basically, its like a makeup store that isn’t exactly a store.

To order products, you’d contact your local representative, and be able to sit down and order through them. It’s a great way to get a personalized approach, as well as recommendations for products that will work for you.
As a self-declared makeup addict, Avon was one of my first experiences with makeup – I remember paging through the magazines to find the perfect eyeliner or lipstick, and waiting excitedly for them to arrive in the mail. The prices for Avon aren’t very high – they’re accessible, quality products in the low to mid-end price range.
Another reason Avon seems like a great asset to the neighborhood is that it will supply more jobs – especially for women. It is a pretty simple process to sign on, and training will teach women all they need to know about selling the products.
