I love Avon products and I want you to love them too. It is very important to get the right product that works for you, which is sometimes harder than it looks. Purchasing the right product the first time is a very important step in loving a product. First impressions only happen once!
While I rate a lot of products on this blog, keep in mind that these reviews are coming from my experience, and are based on my personal preferences, as well as what I perceive the majority of women’s preferences to be. These preferences may not be your preferences. If you are not sure about a rating, please feel free to try it for yourself. Avon has a 100% satisfaction guarantee backed by an excellent return policy. Whether you order the product from me, my website, or another representative, you can return the product for a full refund or an exchange.
To help you understand the rating system, there are descriptions of each feature that I rate. These are guidelines that help both me and you understand what is expected. If you have any questions or suggestions about these ratings, please let me know.
Coverage
The coverage rating is based on how well the product covers. This applies specifically to how makeup covers the applicable area, or how skin care products cover and go on. basically, if the product covers well, it will get a higher rating than one that does not. The table below will explain each star rating in more detail.
 | One Star: Coverage is insufficient, or product does not go on smooth. |
 | Two Stars: Coverage is okay, but not great. Product does not go on well. |
 | Three Stars: Coverage or product application is average. |
 | Four Stars: Coverage or product application is better than average. |
 | Five Stars: Coverage is excellent. Product goes on very smooth. |
Weight
The weight rating is how it feels. For makeup, it is based on how the makeup feels while being worn throughout the day. For other products, it is based on how it feels while in use and/or if it noticeably weights you down throughout the day after use. For example, if a hair product makes your hair feel heavy all day after use, then it will receive a low weight rating. Check out the table below for more details.
| One Star: Product feels heavy during and after application. |
| Two Stars: Product feels heavy or slightly heavy during, or after application. |
| Three Stars: You can tell the product is still there, but it is not excessive. |
| Four Stars: Product is very light, but you can still tell it is there. |
| Five Stars: Product is so light it’s like it is not there. |
Durability
The durability rating is based on how long the product lasts. For makeup, the best ratings will be for make-up that lasts all day. For other products, it will depend on what it is as to what amount of time the durability will be based on. Below are some guidelines for each of the star ratings available for this category.
| One Star: Product hardly lasts after applying it, or there is no significant change after application (i.e. skin care) |
| Two Stars: Product lasts for a little while, but not nearly long as it should. There is little change after using it. |
| Three Stars: Product lasts for as long as it says, or as long as most similar products. The change is expected. |
| Four Stars: Product last for as long or long than expected. There is noticeable change after application. |
| Five Stars: Product last much longer than expected, or there is a significant change after application. |
Benefits
This rating is basically asking ‘What extra benefits does it have?’ If there are extra benefits other than the obvious, then the benefit rating will go up. If the product doesn’t have any extra benefits, then it will be based on if it does what it is suppose to. For more explanation, please refer to the table below.
| One Star: Product has no benefits and does not do what it is suppose to. |
| Two Stars: Product has very few benefits, or does not really do what it is suppose to. |
| Three Stars: Product has the types of benefits expected from this type of product, and does what it is suppose to. |
| Four Stars: Product has a lot of benefits and does exactly what it is suppose to if not a bit more. |
| Five Stars: Product is has a lot of benefit and excels at what it is suppose to do. |
Price
This rating is the simplest one of them all. The lower the price in respect to the quality of the product, the higher the rating. Of course then the opposite is also true in that if a product is priced very high, then it will receive a lower score. The idea of high or low pricing will be based on the general price for any similar product on the market right now. Check out the table below if you want to see the set of guidelines for each star rating.
| One Star: Product is more expensive than most similar products. |
| Two Stars: Product is slightly more expensive than most similar products. |
| Three Stars: Product is of average price. |
| Four Stars: Product is less expensive than most similar products. |
| Five Stars: Product is very inexpensive and is a great value. |
Overall
This is, of course, the overall rating and will usually coincide with the 5 ratings listed above. If you need further explanation, check out the guidelines in the table below.
| One Star: Product is very poor overall. |
| Two Stars: Product is below average overall. |
