Avon Cosmetics For The Woman Of Colour

Did you know Avon cosmetics reaches one in three women in the UK? Did you also know their range includes products for women of colour? Interestingly, Alesha Dixon who is a WOC is also Avon’s Beauty and Empowerment Ambassador.

We recently got our mitts on goodies which our tester, a WOC with a medium yellow based complexion, sampled. All the below are available online at http://avonshop.co.uk/.
