My Vintage 1970s Avon Cosmetic collection (Over 100 pieces?!)

1970s Avon Collection
Hello lovelies,
I recently purchased this massive 1970s Avon collection at an estate sale, and I couldn't pass it up. I have become quite the vintage Avon hoarder, but I love all of the unique bottles and packaging it was hard to pass up. Let me know if you remember any of these vintage Avon cosmetics or have a favourite from this collection.

If you like rose-scented cologne, you might want to try Elizabeth Arden's white tea fragrance Wild Rose. You can get it for about $30. But I remember Roses, Roses from back in the day. What I wish Avon would do is bring back Topaze and especially Come Summer cologne (which smelled exactly like the original Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo from the 1970's.) Do you remember Avon's Ariane cologne? I remember I found it intriguing. But if they brought it back now, people would probably think it had something to do with Ariana Grande!

[@violetfaire]

I sold Avon in 1976 and went door to door. I won awards for best sales in my territory. I was very young and competing with ladies who sold it for years. I loved it and made new friends. I remember most of the items you displayed. I fell in love with so many items back then and used to buy lots of neat stuff for me and my family. I wish they would come back with much of these items. I laughed when someone smelled my bottle of Candice. She said she wanted to wear platform's and feather her hair. The scent was considered so modern and young back then. Thank you for the memories. Your videos always bring a smile to my face.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

That’s so amazing you used to sell Avon in the 1970s!!

[@princesslolasluv]

How ?? Your picture looks like your 20 years old 🤣🤣

[@violetfaire]

@@princesslolasluv thank you for the compliment. I am way past that.

[@maryleachmanbeautyconsultant]

I wish they would bring this kind of stuff back again, but I guess Avon thinks it won't appeal to younger generations these days. In the late 1970s, Avon would have been just turning 100, and I think that had something to do with the company choosing those old-fashioned themed bottles.

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

That’s awesome . As a young girl in the 70s it was a big deal to get one of those lockets / necklaces with the creme sachet inside ❤️

[@margaretgallo914]

It would be so cool if Avon did the retro packaging again.

[@ameliadiaz8040]

💡 Good idea! 💡

[@De_Los_Her]

I was a kid during the 70's. My mom used to buy Avon and I remember loving the solid perfumes for kids that you could pin to your blouse. I had the bunny with skates and the apple with the worm. I used to love the ice cream cone lip gloss too! Avon definitely used to have very creative packaging. You just don't see soaps, perfume bottles etc. like these anymore.

[@patriciapearl2529]

The apple with the worm was my favorite🍎 we used to get them in our stockings as gifts, I couldn't wait to open the package!

[@susanbrogan2517]

Laura is my favorite vlogger.

[@skylilly1]

You triggered a memory, yes, the solid perfumes. lol I remember those were a huge deal at our house having 3 sisters.

[@punkrockabillygirl5375]

I still have my perfume pins from the 70s❤

[@tht8916]

Oh, yes Sweet Honesty...I remember that perfume. I haven't purchased Avon in years...but I would if the retro packaging returned :)

[@kristen5174]

I really miss what Avon used to be.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Me too!!

[@ameliadiaz8040]

And so do I!!!

[@jillsmith633]

Me too. I couldn't wait until the Christmas order book came out. They had so many nice gifts. Their jewelry used to be really nice too.

[@rebeccadelbridge2998]

Me too!

[@marymorgan684]

Me too I miss the old Avon

[@Jean2235177]

Almost 60 here. I recognize many of these pieces! What a treasure trove!

[@gypsywolf2061]

I could swear I had Avon strawberry scented lotion when I was really little. I wish they still made things like this today because I love the pretty, little soaps and packaging.

[@russellhmossjr3489]

I had it too and many of the items Laura displayed ❤

[@SandraNelson063]

Ye Gods! I remember the pale yellow soaps with the florwl/fruit decals! We were NEVER to touch them!

[@stephanieglancy859]

Quaker state is a brand of automobile oil. That powder was probably sold for men to wash their hands after working on stuff, they like to use stuff with a bit of grit to exfoliate all the oil and dirt off because it can tend to stain the dead skin on the hands

[@amycoffin826]

Avon had wonderful holiday catalogues. I was always excited to look through it as a little girl, after my mother was finished with it. I received my very first "lipstick" and hand cream, packaged and made for all little girls, in my Christmas stocking. I remember feeling so grown-up when I put on the lip balm. Later in life, I always bought my daughter cute Avon products for her Christmas stocking. She had soap-on-rope, sachet in cute jars, perfume, lip balm, bubble bath, hand cream, etc. It would be incredibly nostalgic and fun to watch a documentary on people's memories of Avon gifts and purchases over the years. You would be the perfect interviewer, narrator for such a creation! 'Just a thought, but I think it is a fantastic idea!!! All my friends and their mothers loved Avon. (I am 70 y/o.)

[@paulahillier1390]

My mom was a Avon lady in the 70's. These products are my childhood. 😊

[@rebecahazelgrove]

These objects are three times beautiful: they are pretty per se,they are precious because they belong to a different era and that infuses them with the vintage feel,and finally,they have the power to bring us back to a time past in our lives,childhood or youth,and It was usually a happy time....congratulations for this wonderful walk through memory lane! And yes,I am totally convinced that if Avon released some of this stuff right now,It would be a total hit!

[@kriskhaos6025]

Love this collection! I remember my Mom’s Avon lady. I loved the lipstick samples!

[@rainicascadia5514]

Indeed!

[@Una...]

I came here to say that! They were so cool!

[@annawinther9450]

So did I! 😊

[@elle5091]

Those mini lipsticks in the aqua sample case were fabulous!

[@Redpilled-vv5lk]

Nobody really uses soap anymore do they . I had the big peach soap On a rope when I was a kid . I thought it was great

[@judyhoffler]

I use to sell Avon in the 70's and still have some of the special decanter's. Yes, I rang door bells and loved it. I love your collection.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Awe sounds so fun

[@annawinther9450]

Those were the good old days!☺

[@audreykirstein3507]

My Mom had the same Avon lady for over 50 years! I used to love when she came... great memories!!!

[@DarkbutNotsinister]

Gen X, welcome to your childhood!

[@Laurajaneatelier]

💕💕💕💕

[@lindatheresa8449]

I was an Avon rep for 14 years in Australia until they suddenly folded here in 2018. It was such a shock to all of us. I enjoyed seeing some of the quirky novelty items they sold way back in the 70s. ☺💕⚘💄

[@gracesidorowicz572]

I loved the collection bottles. Used to keep on your dresser.. Fond memories

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thank you

[@susanwilliams6058]

My mom sold Avon in the 70s. I went with her often on her calls. All of these items brings back so many happy memories. Thank you for sharing your collection.

[@cynthiabarker522]

I remember an Avon lady coming to our house. I was always excited. The Avon lady also sold Electrolux vacuum cleaners. Sweet memories!! I love Sweet Honesty perfume. I wear it and it makes me feel happy.

[@aprilwhitaker7332]

I remember my great grandmother having a lot of those bottles.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

So fun

[@michelevanessen1539]

This was amazing, thank you for the memories! My mom always had Avon everything in our house lol. I got her the owl with purple perfume gelée in the glass body & a gold head. Think it was the first gift I gave her as a child & she had it in her bathroom for 45 years until she moved in May. 💜🙋🏼‍♀️

[@deborahmitchell1595]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane! And My mom did have her vintage Avon lady. I was 16 in 1970 and Remember her name was Evelyn and she always had me about 9 of the small sample lipsticks. I was so excited for those lipsticks! Good Job! I loved this.🥰💗👏🏻

[@violetbrown3817]

I have a collection of avon jewelry that started with my mother. I have over 150 piece. That started with the mouse pin that has the glasses that move up and down.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Wow that sounds amazing

[@ambermoon5720]

I remember that mouse!!!

[@jillsmith633]

I loved all the old soaps and decanters. Avon is so bland and dull now. Thank you for sharing! BTW, I do remember my Avon lady and her little lipstick samples and perfume samples. She was a classy lady and I miss those days. I had many of what you showed. I loved the little dog and the deer. Mine had Sweet Honesty in them.

[@maryannlockwood7806]

I feel like my mom might’ve had the deer cologne or perfume. Remember thinking how weird it was that you would unscrew the head off. I loved it when the Avon lady would come with her samples. She would let me keep a couple of the sample tiny lipsticks that were very light shades of pink or nude. I think maybe that got me on my obsession with miniatures & lipstick 💄

[@lindazelepugas1000]

3rd grade through highschool in the 70's, so I used this stuff

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Amazing

[@ameliadiaz8040]

Fantastic

[@susquahallasmiley3262]

The boot!!! I always wanted the boot! I also wanted anything Bird of Paradise but since I was like 7-10 , I was restricted to milder scents. I usually got the Honeysuckle or Hawaiian White Ginger powder or sachet. They did use such creative packaging back in the day.

[@judithrivera7857]

Thank you for this video. My mother, also, sold Avon in the 70's. Regarding the cologne in the Doll Figurines, I had the Elizabethan one and the Spanish Señorita one. I had them on my vanity for years. Loved them. My vanity always had dusting powder with poof whether from Avon or from the Drug Store like the pink Chantilly Lace one.

[@azaleasmart6455]

Oh how I wish Avon made all those beautiful perfume bottles and those cute little soaps, if they did, I would be their best customer

[@amyring3865]

Things were so well made back then. I was born in the 80's so I've never seen any of this Avon stuff but I remember my mom got Avon in the 90s and early 2000's and she always ordered me bubble baths and that sweet honestly perfume, makeup items etc. I miss Avon. I might check out the website but I doubt it's near as interesting as what's shown here.

[@MaryGraceFahrun]

I sold Avon door-to-door in 1978. I remember all these so well. Roses, Roses is my favorite cologne. I have quite a vintage collection myself and Roses, Roses is the only cologne I never find. I laughed out loud when I saw how many Roses, Roses decanters you scored. Lucky you! Thank you for sharing. :)

[@jujubunnybea]

I still have some unused mini lipstick samples they use to give out... they look like tiny lipsticks in hard cream colored plastic packaging... the lipstick bullet is pointed in a pyramid shape. I've keep them in my lipstick holder for years just cause I could never just toss them in the trash they are so cute 😆👄💄💋

[@ameliadiaz8040]

How much more I miss the Avon perfume filled decanters very much!

[@elizabethannferrario7113]

Hi Laura i was brought up on Avon ,all my makeup was avon as a teenager until i left home at 16 yrs . to start my nursing career then my mum took me to the estee lauder counter and bought me all estee skin care and a basic makeup kit and paid for my topups until i qualified. bless her .but i remember i loved avon wishing perfume , oh yes skin so soft , it had a lovely smell , great collection , love liz from uk 🇬🇧 x

[@Abigail_Wyatt]

I’m dying for that Victoriana pitcher and bowl!!! I LOVE IT!!!😱

[@starquilt]

This a wonderful collection. I miss what Avon use to be

[@barbara9315]

I like the look of cream sachets!

[@sharonsmith583]

Loved this videos. I'm having a relaxing "me" Sunday afternoon and this fits right in.

[@jackysgalaxy8531]

I used to see these at yard sales for less tHan a dollar . And yes if they brought back retro styles of Avon I would buy Avon

[@rebeccarains177]

Yes ma'am I remember every item you showed. What a wonderful collection. The first time I sold it I was only 16, and yes I went door to door. That was 1973. Avon today is nothing like this. SAD

[@ameliadiaz8040]

PITY

[@elle5091]

Thank you for this video! I remember the Avon Lady coming on Saturdays ringing the doorbell with that iconic phrase, carrying her blue sample case. She and my mother would drink iced tea while shopping and I would usually receive a special sample too! Such fun! ❤️

[@marylyn5965]

My aunts and grandma's collected and used Avon products. I remember some of the products you showed. I had the little green stocking with red cap, bath oils in green and blue glass urns and my favourite was a solid perfume called Her Prettiness. It was a purple and lavender mushroom with a green frog and a lady bug on top. Thanks for the memories.

[@stephanieglancy859]

All this Avon brings back the best memories im so glad they were still doing this cool stuff in the 80s. I also have tons of memories of my grandmas AVON stuff, I loved going to her house and seeing all of it that was from the 70s

[@ambermoon5720]

Thoroughly enjoyed this! I remember many of these as well as our Avon lady coming to visit. She would give us perfume samples and tiny little lipsticks which I just loved. My first Avon perfume was in a little flocked teddy bear bottle containing Sweet Honesty.

[@julieschnorenberg5370]

Fun! I babysat an Avon lady’s kids and she let me have some of those mini lipsticks! And I had Sweet Honesty, too! It was in the mid 1970’s. Thanks so much, Laura!❤️🌹

[@denisefreitas6727]

What a beautiful collection, Laura! I loved the video! I recognized some items, because my grandmother was an Avon lady in the 70's until the early 80's. 💖

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thank You! So happy you enjoyed it

[@maylee2029]

There’s something magical about it. Beautiful bottles.

[@jodierdmann2078]

I had the fudgesicle comb, then the dog chewed on it. Always loved the sweet honesty perfume. My bought Avon up until the mid 80’s.

[@bryanftsk1]

Such a fun video!

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thanks for watching

[@ConnieinVirginia]

These are so cool & it brings back some memories. I so wish they still made these types of things.

[@DalainaRenee]

Love this! My granny used to have Avon stuff my momma to!! 🎉👍 I have that same girl yellow perfume bottle got it brand new never used at Goodwill. My mom used to have the Avon poodle bottle on her dresser to I loved that. My friend Terri used to sell Avon. My granny had so much Avon lipstick samples I loved to play with them when I was younger to.

[@bobbiewhyte6343]

What beautiful condition these items are in. How lucky, what a find!

[@rainicascadia5514]

Yay Laura! I'm happy to see this video presentation from you. I looooove Avon! Their mascara is amazing to this day! I was an Avon rep when I was 16, 48 years ago. Skin so soft is amazing and repels mosquitoes. Thank you Laura! I love your channel💖

[@Laurajaneatelier]

YAy thank you so happy you liked this

[@judithroers9655]

I sold Avon from 1991 until 2000. I was given a territory to cover...in Buffalo, MN. It was a blast. With my earnings, I bought a lot of Cape Cod red plates, coffee cups etc. My mother had an Avon lady with the lipstick sample case. Mom loved Charisma and Rich Moisture face cream. Will never forget their classic pink bubble bath. Smelled so good. ❤

[@sherrisiegel5787]

My mom used to buy Avon in the 1970s and 1980s. I still have a porcelain pin. I used to love their perfume bottles. I had a blue girl one for years. I think my mom still has it. Avon isn’t what it used to be. I think they don’t come door to door is bc of online and women aren’t home during the day like they used to be. Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection.

[@megann7543]

My mom used to do Avon in the 90s to early 2000s. She only did a couple streets and only had a few customers. I think she mostly did it just to order stuff for herself lol. When I got older I got into some of the makeup items and perfumes. I mostly ordered when they came out with the Mark brand cuz it was geared towards a younger demographic. I had a lot of Mark bags back in the day.

[@tammyhiggins1013]

My Mom was an Avon lady for many years and I had many of the items you are going over. This is a fun walk down memory lane!

[@desertpinevintage162]

Curious how you display your collection. I believe the mushroom shaped bottle is supposed to resemble bouquets of flowers.

[@ConnieinVirginia]

We had an Avon lady back in the day when I was young. They had so many neat items.

[@cassandralyris4918]

My Aunt Debbie sold/had so many of these when I was little. I still remember when she gave me her (nearly) empty bottle of Sweet Honesty perfume. It was a little pink cupcake. Wouldn't mind having some of that again. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. 🥰

[@malirabbit6228]

I was just thinking about AVON yesterday! Does anyone remember the liquid deodorant that came in a square clear bottle with a green cap. Bird of Paradise , Topaz and Moon Wind was good fragrances. Skin-So-Soft was my favorite bath oil! Thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane!

[@vmsantos520]

It was an amazing and incredible experience. We had an amazing Avon lady. She had the biggest biggest bouffant beehive hair do, and long nails. She had so many samples and a big bag full of goodies. Her home had this garage attachment that was stocked full of Avon stuff so we could go shopping in there if we didn't want to wait for our order to come in. Oh the memories.

[@chaqillenikita748]

I do so wish we still had such fun and unique packaging for toiletries these days. I realise that it’s not really sustainable, but for something that you might purchase only once a year, I think I could justify it as a fun treat! I vividly remember my Nana always had a small assortment of unused, fragrant “guest soaps” by the sink, just in case (as we used to laugh,) the Queen popped over for tea 😂. They too had those beautiful printed stickers and unique shapes, like seashells, flowers, and valentines 😊. I was forbidden from using them; instead, I had to use the Velvet soap that was in a dish in the drawer under the sink. Ah, I have such fond memories of those years 💛. Love from Brisbane, Australia! Chaq x

[@wildviolets9222]

I grew up with Avon, I loved it when the Avon lady would stop by and bring us our orders. Show us new products, jewelry. I had the little deer you were looking at in Sweet Honesty.

[@zoeoneeva6397]

That blue tray reminiscent of Wedgewood, so pretty! 😍

[@Morjana52]

My mom had the southern Belle sweet honesty. I loved that doll perfume! Still love that perfume

[@Canerican.]

Yes,Avon was awesome back in the day & their products were very effective! I remember it from the 70s & 80s!

[@loretta_3843]

I can see hoarding in your future! I couldn't control collecting!😄

[@punkrockabillygirl5375]

I loved when the Avon lady came to our house! It was the early 70s. I remember the strawberry line. I had a stick, solid perfume from the strawberry line. I loved the tiny lipstick samples. My mom would let me have them. I miss the Avon perfume Cotillion

[@pamblissard8048]

I remember almost everything in your collection. Brings back good memories.

[@brvndxxxn]

The hippo is so cute 💚

[@edwardmcdonough6525]

I was born in 1969 . I remember er the Avon lady coming to my grandmother's and she bought Avon all the time & gave them out at Christmas and kept for herself . I remember getting the bubble bath and a soap as a gift then taking a bath after Christmas and I felt special lol . Thank you for sharing fond memories she had alot of the items you're showing .

[@velmamendoza1120]

You have the most amazing Avon collection that I have ever seen. WOW!!

[@loveyoutopieces1779]

I loved loved loved this! So much fun!

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thanks for watching

[@lauraswihart4816]

It was an incredible experience! We lived in the projects! Lucille, the Avon lady just lived 4 apts. Down. I was 16 in 1978. So , I remember Avon. I just loved the books, samples & decanters💗🩰

[@phoenixgrove]

I remember during the early 2000s an Avon Lady sold cosmetics to my mom in our old apartment. She had such great stuff with cute packaging. It's sad that I hardly hear anything from Avon anymore...

[@barbaragordon6454]

I love that dolphin bottle😍 I haven’t seen a lot of this retro Avon yet. ☮️I remember my grandpa having a few of the car cologne bottles. I would just pick them up and smell them🥰 so nostalgic seeing all this lovely stuff. Thank you for sharing❤️✌🏼

[@ConnieinVirginia]

I like that little seahorse.

[@rockellnova]

I really enjoyed your Avon video. I see a lot my granny had. It brought back memories. I sold Avon since July 2000 and its April 2023. My mom and my aunt used to sell. They are all deceased now. Thank you again. I really enjoyed this.

[@Mrsgarza1975]

These vintage items can be in a museum! Thank you for sharing. Beautiful 😻 & very much appreciated video!!

[@marieevans100]

I loved seeing this collection.

[@Erock_1995]

Gorgeous collection!

[@patriciapearl2529]

What a lovely collection of Avon..8 enjoyed this video very much. The little choir soaps was super cute😘 My favorite is the turtle😍

[@prescribedcandy]

All the cologne bottles are so creative looking!

[@Echolyris212]

Gosh their detail in the product and packaging was so detailed and well thought of. So sad to see their decline.

[@christinap6760]

Hi Laura it's beautiful old Avon collection! I didn't know that Avon products had original shapes. 👍👍👍💖💖💖It is very nice 👏👏

[@barbarajohnson9050]

I started to use Avon products in the early 70’s and then became an Avon Lady! This was such an enjoyable share… it took me back to this time in my life and brought back so many memories! Thank you!!

[@ksgoo4960]

I wish Avon would bring back the roses roses perfume. I love it so much!

[@maryannlockwood7806]

my mom buying a van in the 70s. I had a couple of pins that I loved: a scarecrow that had the waxy perfume inside and a Bobin’ Robin pin. Also remember having some thing I think it was called a Andy panda & it would hold your soap & float in the bathtub.🛁

[@skylilly1]

Wow! Kudos to the creative team at Avon. This was super interesting to watch!

[@johnathanlessard4559]

I love the idea of most of these being refillable. instead of always having to buy a new package just go and fill it back up 😊

[@Cindyluview]

Avon calling! Yes I remember. I have a few things from my childhood 😊

[@heathermahony110]

I LOVE THIS!! Brings back some Memories that got lost......Thank You for Sharing. 🙏😎💘💄👠👛👑 I'll be Watching this MANY Times! 😁

[@yvettecorbett2360]

Love all the retro packaging!!

[@felighn]

I sold Avon back in high school in the 70s. Still have some of my decanters. You have a wonderful collection! Thanks for the memories! ❤

[@kathrynbellerose6216]

I remember all of this stuff. Avon’s jewelry was very pretty as well l had several pieces. Trip down memory lane.

[@wandaarnt234]

[@sheilaspaulding8812]

I had some of those things when I,was little in the 70s. My Auntie sold it so I got several things. Nice memories!
