Browsing through a 1950s vintage Avon Catalog (my vintage cream sachet collection)

Ойын-сауық

Hello lovelies, I recently bought a vintage 1950s Avon catalog on eBay, and I am obsessed with all of the beautiful packaging and the illustrations. If only the new Avon catalogs were this beautiful! I thought it would be fun to browse through the catalog and show you my vintage perfume cream sachet collection because the packaging is so pretty! Let me know if you collect vintage Avon and if you have tried any of these vintage products in the past. I am so curious to try all of these and wish they still sold them. I love the packaging of vintage cosmetics and wish they still made them this way.

    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.

    i agree. They do it to cut costs. Plus Avon isn't owned by the same people anymore. The company changed hands. Those beautiful containers and the beautiful packaging were/are probably expensive. I think those things gave Avon a competitive edge and made people want to order Avon products. I attribute the company's success to these things. That's how it made a name for itself. But the company changed hands and the rest history. My mom's good friend sold Avon for over a decade (as far as I know--maybe longer than that). She was good at it. She sold those products to her friends, church members, and people that lived in our community. I remember my mother bought several things from her over the years. I remember her buying those fragrances for various female and male relatives. The novelty bottles are what made her want to buy them. The were so charming and each one was a little work of art. That's what made Avon special. Plus the products were still affordable for most people. I think Avon ladies used to keep a little inventory in their homes in the days before the internet.

    Laura Jane Atelier most of the time avon perfumes are laughing stocks for the fragrance community but I differ since most of it are composed by famous perfumers who made black opium and dior jadore. I can say that it is the same as most of the designer perfumes on the market but much cheaper and more long lasting to be honest. Here in the philippines we have a limited options but at least we still got the classic far away and imari and the most recent offerings. But the classics are the best. The modern chanel no. 5 is very similar to soft musk yet much gentle and more modern smelling

The Topaz cream used to have what looked like a huge yellow faceted diamond on the lid. Also I remember a lady ordering a lipstick called WHITE ICING I couldn't resist a peek , this would have been 1968 approx it was absolutely the whitest lipstick I have ever seen !!! It was the 60's though all pale pale lips , I was only 7 years old, I was spellbound, & the black cream jar is called OCCUR ! Your Avon book is absolutely divine, what a find , it is in pristine condition & so many products in there I didn't know they sold . The jars you have collected are divine, wish they made them still.

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.

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!

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!

    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!

Brochure full of overpriced crap, cheap jewelry, candles, and Clothes,please stop! Now they are selling products from other companies. I could go , but you get my drift

    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.

    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.

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!!

    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.

    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.

    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 . 😘💞
