Avon

Dear Avon Ladies,

I am writing in regards to your product “Youth Awakening Lipstick” with pearl finish as seen on pages 70 -71 of your 15^th Brochure of 2010. The product itself looks simply wonderful as it is available in a variety of colours and is supposed to; and I quote, “ make lips look up to 5 years younger” which I understand results were found through a clinical study of 50 people.

I am writing as I am unsure of whether or not to buy your product. I know at £6.00 it’s hardly breaking the bank, however what is really confusing me is how on earth you measure what ages your lips are and if the Youth Awakening Lipstick really has succeeded in making them look 5 years younger.

I suppose what I’m really getting at is what instrument of measurement do I use to see if I really need this product. How do I know how old my lips look?

 How old is the woman in the picture, I’ve been asking people today how old they think she is to which the response is “how am I supposed to know? That’s a stupid question” accompanied with a bizarre look as though I’ve just asked something completely insane. I just need to know. As a 22 year old woman obviously how one looks and feels is important. I just can’t fathom at all if I need it. Should I send you a picture of my mouth and you can offer your professional opinion? I mean the idea of a 17 year olds mouth is a tantalisingly good idea but what if my 22 year old face doesn’t match it?

Are there any plans to introduce 5 years younger eyes and ears? Would that be too much? I don't really know what age you get to when other women start talking behind your back that your trying to look like a teenager.

As you can see good ladies of Avon I’m in somewhat of a dilemma. I really don’t know what to do. I wish it were just the simple question of will this colour suit me, but it’s more like am I going to suit 17 year old lips. Whatever they look like. Do you have some amazing programme that can generate a picture of what they’ll look like? If so do you charge for this service or is it a complimentary service Avon offers?

 I do hope you will look into this as I am keen to get my 17 year old lips with pearl finish.

Please reply

Kindest regards
