I am playing along with Cindy's fun Eye Spy meme each Sunday. This week the delightful Crafty Librarian has suggested that we show off something tiny. The theme is Eye spy ... a small object.
So, may I present the reason (the sole reason) I became an Avon lady. Yes ... it was all to satisfy a certain fondness for cosmetic samples.
Oh, how I delight in the tiny lipsticks; adore the miniature foundation tubes; admire the minuscule perfume bottles. And those wee samples of a bit-of-this-that-and-the-other for the complexion, are irresistible.
You can rest assured that at a moment's notice I am always able to find a little something to rehydrate my skin by 643 percent. Or make me look almost vaguely like Reece Witherspoon.
Thank you to Cindy at Bug and Pop who is hosting Eye Spy and to the Crafty Librarian for the fun theme. To see who else is playing, head over here.
You're an Avon lady too? Is there no end to your talents?
ReplyDeleteThey still have those little lipsticks!? I love those!
I wish I still had a local Avon lady... not that I actually wear makeup, but I really like looking through the little catalogue!
ReplyDeleteooh, tiny samples! Do you have DHC over there? I adore their samples, although I often save them past their expiry dates (oops!)
ReplyDeleteI used to have a bunch of hard plastic ones that looked JUST like that when I was a kid. No wonder the lipstick thing never caught on for me, but they were oh so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAs someone that use to work in a chemist I can so understand your love of the sample.
ReplyDeleteI kept a teeny tiny avon sample lipstick for about 10 years. Boy did I make that one last! :D
ReplyDeleteYou lucky woman, you'll be in mini supply forEVER!
When we were little mums lovely Avon lady gave us half a dozen of those cute little lipstick samples and we would dress up and wear them around the house, as we were too young to wear them in public!
ReplyDeleteToo cute!
ReplyDeleteLiesl, I love lipstick and I think its the one thing I would take on a desert island with me...I wear it everyday
ReplyDeleteI sold Avon for a little while and that was one of the reasons I did it too!!! I love, Love, LOVE those teeny tiny littl lipsticks!
ReplyDeleteMy Mum was an Avon Lady and seeing those little lipsticks takes me back.
