PS: I don't believe this title is very useful. Oh well.

Avon beauty products


Funda:

The beauty products are all manufatured by Avon Products which takes its name from Stratford-upon-Avon. David H. McConnell, the founder of the company renamed it to Avon from the California Perfume Company(original name) because he liked Stratford-upon-Avon that much.
