As an Avon Rep, I LOVE seeing this!! I so wish, with all my heart, this is how cosmetics were still packaged. Each piece is truly a work of art. And just makes the ritual of getting ready for the day or for the evening/night a luxurious and magical experience. No packaging today compares to these beauties of yesteryear!

Wow, there's no comparison to today's AVON catalog. I was born in the 50s and remember when AVON lipstick samples were in pretty metal cases. Why do companies stop concentrating on what they do best and veer off into overwhelming people with so many choices...clothing, cheap jewelry, etc.? I remember having the Topaz cologne which was my favorite. I love the sachet containers you have too.

Hi, lv the catalog I'm actually an older person who used Avon in the 60s as a teen. Lovely packaging and one of the few cosmetic companies who embraced people of color as representatives. Thereby one of the few cosmetics brands producing some foundation colors for people of color.. Outstanding in its time ✌🏿️👌🏾👼🏿😇💕

I shed a tear when I watch you scanning the brochure it reminded me of my mama who used to be an avon lady until her death. Though the brochures are much more ordinary looking compared to yours. I continue being an avon dealer but not as serious like my mother. We deeply love far away classic until this day.

The Avon products were so beautifully packaged and the scents were so feminine. They made me feel grown-up when I was a young teen. I miss those beautiful containers and the vintage scents like To A Wild Rose, Topaz, Charisma, and Here's My Heart, especially in the cream sachets. They lasted all day and were not overpowering.

I wish companies would go back to such beautiful packaging! I currently decant most of my products into other containers that aren't so industrial looking.

Oh to bring back those lipsticks and blushes. I would buy them in a heart beat. The vintage scents too. Hawaiian white ginger was my favorite scent as a child in the 60's.

Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and say hello:) instagram.com/dahliasintheattic/ Let me know if you have tried any of these vintage Avon products

I am haunted by all of the beautiful beauty products I used in the past and am so grateful to you for bringing them to KZfaq. Nothing like Avon's To A Wild Rose Cream Sachet.

I think that the red cream sachet with the starburst lid was in the fragrance "Persian Wood."

I love how beautifully vintage beauty products are packaged, so feminine. Also the catalog is an awesome buy❤ Hope your eye heals quickly!

When I was a little girl I remember my grandmother had Avon perfume bottles on her dresser. In the 60’s when I was a young teen my mother let me order Avon perfumed cream sachets. My favorites back then were Elusive, Unforgettable, Bird of Paradise and Honeysuckle. Your video really took me back. How I treasured those lovely little containers! I wish those scents were still available today, I’d buy them. The packaging was so lovely and feminine back then. Sighs 👍💕

I loved this video. My mother was an Avon Representative throughout the 60's, 70's, and 80's. I was such a lucky girl to have access to the samples and products. In the small community where we lived, there was a variety store and finally a T.G.& Y., but there weren't many places to buy beauty products. Mom was a welcome visitor for women to take a break, sit down and have coffee with her while she detailed the new colors and scents. I recognized many of the products and scents you have. Nice job.

I believe it's pronounced "cah-tillion" it's like a formal ball for debutants. I went to a cotillion when I was 12 where they taught my youth age group how to do formal dancing such as the square dance.

My mother loved the scent Topaz which was packaged in a yellow and white jar or bottle. Avon always had holiday inspired products in their catalogues such as Thanksgiving (fall), Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, etc.

My mother was an Avon lady in the 1950s and this brings back some fond memories. I certainly remember the cream sachets and To a Wild Rose. They also used to give the Avon representatives tiny tiny little sample tubes of lipstick. I loved playing with the leftovers as a child. 😊 BTW, Cotillion is pronounced "coat-till-yin." It's an old-fashioned word for a dance or ball. Thanks for this trip down Memory Lane!

The music, catalog, and products were a combination for a tear jerker! I remember my mother having so many of those when we came from deployment in Germany. We were stationed in Oklahoma and for the first time our neighborhood had an Avon representative. She and my mother became close friends. My mother had several other friends in the neighborhood that she had met in Germany and were also deployed to Oklahoma. When the Avon representative came to our house my mother had her friends over for coffee, cake, conversation and Avon. Almost like a High Tea. There they would browse through the catalog, test samples and do their ordering. So many of the vintage bottles went into the trash when emptied. Some we were given to play with and our imaginations were unlimited. Even though I collect vintage makeup now. What I wouldn't give to have one from my late mother. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

I remember "To A Wild Rose". It wasn't my mother's favorite, but she had just about one of every Avon scent! We had a big rose garden and I recall being disappointed that the cologne didn't smell like real roses. In the 70s, Avon came out with "Roses, Roses" and that scent really captured the hybrid tea rich and fresh scent. Lovely walk through my childhood! Thanks!

I love how there was a grey haired lady and it was just about her hair colour, not the dreaded anti ageing, mature skin, market driven stuff we older ladies have to put up with in products now 😂

LOVED those cream sachets in the 70's, To a Wild Rose was a beautiful scent, much better than the rose scents available today. Wish they'd bring it back. There is something to feminine and special about cream sachets, wish they were still around :(

Talk about a trip down memory lane! With 3 sisters, we'd fight over who got to look at the catalogue first and test mother's lipstick and perfume samples on the day the Avon lady was due. Laura, did you see if there was the fragrance called 'Forever Spring' is in that catalogue? Mama wore that right before daddy got home. Maybe that's why there were 8 of us. Lol🙂

That catalog is exquisite, what a find. I would spend hours looking through it. The sachet that you thought was Christmas, I'm pretty sure is Persian woods. I love the creme sachets, I remember them well, and look at them on eBay. I would say the bulk of your collection is 60 s. occur was a very popular scent. I got a bottle of Ocurr splash at a thrift shop, a couple months ago

So beautiful delicate, so feminine and classy. How times change styles! I love the early years.

I sent two of your vintage Avon catalogues from 1972 and 1973...and I texted them to my Avon representative..she loved them! This 1950s catalogue was so beautiful..the products and especially the sets! My favorite was the trio with dusting powder..lipstick and powder compact all in gold..please keep posting these!🤗💕💐🌹

Hearing you say all the names of these sachets takes me back to when I was a little girl. The Avon Lady would visit every 2 weeks, and she would say the magical names...Somewhere, Bird of Paradise, To a Wild Rose ..

Avon discontinued products (specially perfumes and colognes) that were amazing. Moon wind, Foxfire, Clint, Rugby, etc. A company that really its legendary and its fading away...Sad! And the beautiful decorative bottles and decanters. 🙏 Thanks for bringing this. Really good memories

What a trip down memory lane. I loved To a Wild Rose.

BROUGHT BACK LOTS OF MEMORIES , I REMEMBER MOST OF THESE , ALTHOUGH IM ONLY 59 , IT BRINGS ME BACK TO MY CHILD HOOD , HAWAIIAN WHITE GINGER SMELLED NICE

I love this video and the music is playing so beautiful!! Takes me back to my childhood days!! Awesome job!!

I loved the creme sachets! The red one without a label was most likely Candid. I love the Rose, and Lilac, my favorite as a child was Hawaiian White Ginger! I love Occur, my mom's favorite was Moonwind!

Growing up in the 70’s I remember Occur, Charisma, Honey suckle, Hawaiian, and a couple other one. My grandmother and mother and many many ladies bought from Avon back then. I remember the roll on perfumes, and bath products.

To A Wild Rose was re-issued by Avon in the early 90s as a limited release. My mother bought the re-issued version at the time bc she used to wear it as a teen. It was a strong, rose based oriental with a very subtle dose of oak moss. The sweetness of the rose with juxtaposition of the spiced mid notes were so unique. I can still smell it thinking about it. Nothing else has ever smelled like it. You would have loved it. I remember my mother remarking that the re-issue was true to the original formula. If you can find it on ebay or Etsy buy it. The re-issued bottle will be in a white elongated bottle with a pink crown plastic cap. As for your pronunciation of Cotillion, you about had it. Cotillion parties were big in the south when girls "came of age" and had matured enough to display proper ettiquit. Some places in the deep south still do them but not mainly in name rather than purpose. Cotillion is a more pre-turn of the 20th century term. It involved a dance similar to square dancing involving 3 or 4 couples. ( if im writing anything you already know, just over look me, I'm a nerd) Avon naming their cologne that in the 50s was probably novel to appeal to more mature women consumers I'm guessing. That cologne was made until the 80s and it was not a scent I remember very well as far as scent notes, etc. I love that you made this video.

I was a child in the 50s. We had most of these in the house at some point . My mother always bought Avon. My favorites were Persion Wood , To a Wild Rose and Lilac🌹

Avon lipstick samples in the 1960s came in these adorable plastic tubes--perfect for a little girl playing dress-up. My mother always gave me the samples to play with.

My first introduction to Avon products was a creme sachet container of Unforgettable. I kept that container for a long time, it was so pretty. I remember so many Avon fragrances from the late 60s and early 70s. Occur, To a Wild Rose, Topaz, Wishing, Here's My Heart, Cotillion, Brocade, Regence, Charisma, Bird of Paradise, Elusive, Sweet Honesty, Lilac, Hawaiian White Ginger, Lily of the Valley, Persian Wood, Somewhere 14:40 14:40

The music amazing. Really enjoying, binge watching your videos. My mother had a number of the fragrances in cream form. My favourite was charisma. I also liked, bird of paradise - I wish they would bring them back 😔

wow gorgeous catalog

I love all things Avon and was so impressed with your collection. I wish they would bring back the creme sachets!

Obsessed! I collect and haul them in my videos as well. I mainly collect pretty feminine Avon perfumes & sachet jars! It’s my favorite thing to look for while thrifting/antiquing!

I remember "To A Wild Rose", "Occur", "Topaz", and "occur" from the mid to late 60's in England.

hi iv had most these scents. Nearness and here's my Heart are my fav they need to bring back these fragrances im in my late 60s so I remember them all very will wish I had saved the bottles and sachets thank you so much for doing a video like this you are very lovely 💕💕

Oh wow!!! Thank you so much Laura Jane! What memories Vintage Avon brings back. Yes I adore your Avon collection. Anyone remember those fun tiny lipstick samples the Avon rep would leave with your mom? My mom always gave them to me. How I loved to play grown-up.💄 👜👡 💃 🤣

OMG my cat did the SAME THING to me when I was younger, only he jumped on my ear and left a scar! Again, l♥️ve your channel and can't get enough of it!!

Everything back then was so femenine and pretty.

They were so beautiful.who would had know that one day Avon would become famous again.thxs to all of us who are trying to keep them alive.

Occur was an older scent from the 50’s and quite strong.. Charisma I think was from the early 70’s. Beautiful catalog and containers.

The catalog is beautifull.It remains me my grandma, such delicate lady. I Love the vintage cosmetic. Everything's were better before in the past, the clothes,the shoes,the houses,the furniture ect.Have a lovely day and thanks for sharing us such beauty.

Congratulations dear Laura for your beautiful Avon collection. I wish I could get just one piece of them . The designs are so glamorous, elegants and classy. Thanks for sharing. 😍

Such a wonderful stroll down memory lane! When I saw the Wishing jar with the tiny wishbone on top, I had a strong memory of either my mom having that jar or receiving it as a gift myself. Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful catalog, too, as I just love browsing through old magazines and catalogs. Hope your eye heals quickly, dear girl!

Why can't they still sell such products, and print catalogs like that? Everything is in a clear order, one can find what one is looking for and there are pictures of the products and a description. They don't manage that nowadays any more - catalogs are now full of garish pictures and everything is pictured all over the place, descriptions are somewhere else or non-existent, and one can't find anything. And modern packaging for cosmetics is all black and gray and cheap plastic!

OMG, what a wonderful and beautiful collection.

I love vintage Avon , and I’m always on the look out for it. I loved the body powders with a puff, so elegant, and all of the packaging was so feminine. I would love to see more .x

I have always loved the cream sachets. I'm now 66, and remember using those into the 70s. Then they went to the scented body creams.

This was a blast from my past! My mother always had Avon scents for us girls. Loved them!

Love old catalogs and have quite a few! In terms of the Avon sachets, I wanted to share with you that Cotillion was one of my favorites! For what it’s worth, a Cotillion back in olden days, was a French country dance to teach respectful manners to young people, but, in the 60s and 50s and 40s a Cotillion was like a debutante ball, or a dressy dance, primarily for the younger set, but I’ve seen older people dancing at Cotillion’s and they weren’t chaperones! Lol. So, I just thought I’d like to share that with you. Get so sentimental seeing & remembering all the lovely Avon packaging! Thanks so much for sharing!!

These are so awesome. My favorite is when you show your collections.

I own two vintage avon cream sachet jars, to wit, lilac and another with a spring green and gold colored flower embossed motif on the lid; both are empty but the lilac sachet jar smells of lilacs and sadly the lid has a patina on it from age though the label is intact. When I was in Jr. High school, my great Aunt gifted me a vintage Revlon lip stick case: it was gold toned with rhinestones all over it. It went missing though, I believe my sisters lifted it when I was in high school. I marveled at how beautiful the packaging was. I love the idea of buying a well constructed gorgeous lipstick case and refilling it with just the bullet. Women had such style.

You have to consider to hold a Victoria museum to show your collectibles! The cream design is so retro! Love all 💕

I could spend several days just looking at that catalog! I am a Baby Boomer and grew up sampling all my mother's Avon products. Used to adore the tiny lipstick samples, and who remembers the eye shadow stick where the tubes all fit together? Mom's favorite was To A Wild Rose. I think it was a lot of ladies' favorites. Mom was a rep in the 1970s and I still have the brocade case she carried.

The Avon Charisma..i remember my mom in u.k having the whole Charisma collection in the mid 1970s,my Aunt was an Avon representative,so we had a a lot of Avon products at home,some of their perfume bottles were amazing designs.

Love you collection. I have such sweet memories from my mother buying the products and so excited when they lady came to deliver. I wish I had them all now....

I remember Bird of Paradise .its a beautiful collection 💕

This is awesome! I met a lady who owned and collected lots of these items. Most were from her time and she kept the empty containers because they were just so beautiful to look at!

I was an Avon rep for 15 years here in Australia but alas they announced they were leaving us last year. Quite a shock for us reps. 😮☹

I just bought 100 boxes of Avon . Mostly cologne and perfume but also sachets and bath beads, bubble bath and powders. Gift sets as well and mascara and lipstick . I love the 60’s Avon kids line , all bright colors and mushrooms. I’m going to make a video soon . I have two lemon soap sets . It has a miniature fruit dish with lemon shaped soaps. Omg love it I haven’t got to go through it all as I just got them . Love your vintage Avon !

Hi Laura I love all the vintage bottles and jars. Wonderful collection.

That catalogue you got is the sales distributor's book- it's not the kind you hand out, but the one you have on your lap while pulling out samples and such. It had the full range of products, where the smaller sales catalogues were the items featured through that sales period. I remember the cream sachets- really nice, long-lasting perfumes!

I have a small collection of vintage Avon. It's mostly the really old Avon jewelry and some of the decorative perfumes. I absolutely loved you going thru this old catalog! What a find! Anytime you feel like posting a video of another catalog or an old magazine, please do!

My mom use to buy the perfume sachets. They were so nice. I wish Avon had them again.

So much fun rewatching your videos

I have Avon bottles, my grandmother loved Avon and she would give me the bottles. I love them! Wish they still did the fun glass bottles.

I remember and loved the creme sachets! Also, love the brown polka dot dress in your video!

I love that collection that you have and that catalog is SO VERY elegant. A FAR cry from what they have today.

I enjoyed your Avon video! I am 66 years old and I remember some of those Avon sachet bottles. Thanks!

That catalogue is gorgeous. Wow!

Really enjoyed looking through the catalog

Absolutely beautiful collection. And this is why I love your videos.

I forgot how lovely these were!

My goodness - so sorry to hear about your eye. Who knew Pinky had a violent side - such a beautiful kitty! I hope that your healing goes smoothly and that you heal quickly. Loved the sachet jars - I loved Cotillion!

Charisma was definitely from the 70's. I remember my mother's bottle of that fragrance on her bureau. Not the cream sachet, but a larger bottle (same color and design) of the eau de toilette, I think. It was a substitute for her, after Avon discontinued her ultimate favorite fragrance, Regence.

I miss the Avon of yesteryear. My grandmother was an Avon lady in the 60's and oh how I loved to look at her sample case. The little lipstick samples in tiny white tubes were my favorites. Here's My Heart was a favorite of hers. Mine was Honeysuckle and Carnation. Honestly, all of the girls in our extended family were awash in Avon. I think the marketers of beauty products have gotten away with assaulting our senses far too long. Not being able to try before you buy is fraught with mistakes. I wish they would bring back some of the iconic pure scents of one flower notes. Imagine being able to buy beautiful glass jars full of cream. Oh well, a girl can dream. Maybe romance will return someday....

Wore Brocade and Charisma, they were some of my most loved fragrances from Avon. Hopefully you can find a bottle of Brocade , it's a beautiful scent , it's hard to describe , very unique . I also had Occur another oldie but goody . Loved the Avon catalog, and those other vintage cosmetic & fragrance books you have . Thanks Laura , hope your eye gets better , I remember those kitty scratches and spontaneous jumps also . 😘💞

Beautiful Catalog!! So worth the $40 for the condition that it is in

The "Somewhere" cream sachet jar struck a chord....either my Mom or Aunt had it. Ditto the "Lilac". The catalogue is fantastic. Love this and all of your videos.

Here's my Heart ,still love it.wish it was still around ❤

I remember the Hawaiian and the honeysuckle when I was little. Would love to get those today

Still remember the Avon lady coming to visit and bring products to my mom and later to my sisters and me!

I have watched now a few of your videos and I love them! Very informative, aesthetic and original!

Yes, Avon had some beautiful and creative packaging

How lovely your videos always make me smile .

I remember quite a few of those products, I love the vintage packaging , it makes me feel so nostalgic.

Omg these are sooo beautiful! I wish they still made those

I love your Avon collection., lucky you. I've been buying Avon products and still do. That book is amazing, you're lucky to have found that. I think Topaz is still being sold. Yes, totally loved this video.

I loved Avon's Cotillion cologne. I wish they would bring it back.

I loved the catalogue and the music🎶🎵 you used was perfect❤️.... The black occur! Cream perfume was one that my mother used to wear in the 60s70s it was quite heady and strong but I liked it... 💋

I love your dress and enjoyed the Avon catalogue. Super channel. Always watch it when I am eating my favourite rice pudding or chocolate.double enjoyment 😘

I loved Hawaiian White Ginger and would buy it today!

I love your channel! Recently just discovered! Such a nice escape! Thank you 🥰💕💄 I do recognize one of the bottles from my grandmothers house. So fun to see the catalog too!

Laura what happened to Avon’s “Persian Wood” and “Here’s My Heart” cream sachets and perfumes? I know they go back to the 50’s but I loved them then. They have discontinued sooo many really good ones!

My favourite as a child was the pretty peach collection. That's where, imo, too faced sourced their ideas 🤔
