The brand manager
‘It is breaking news for the market. After trying it for the first time I was immediately surprised how different it was. It is really unique and you cannot compare it to anything else. I hope the sales will reach as high volumes as your lashes,’ says Daria Ignatova, Senior Brand Manager Colour Cosmetics, with a smile.
The scientist
‘All this brush research began 4 years ago. Can you imagine how much effort, power, expectations and love we have all given to this volumising project?’- says Senior Scientist Dean Hickey. ‘This is the reason why we are very excited about Maxi Lash and we cannot wait to see our clients feel the same’.
The application
3 main terms:
Step 1: Apply product using the flat side of the comb to load your lashes with volumising bulk.
Step 2: Then simply comb with either side of the brush, depending on the look you want. With the wider spaced teeth you can achieve a more dramatic volume effect, while with the other side you can achieve a natural, volumised lash look.
The Comb
A special dual-sided comb with precise teeth gives a super volumised fat lash effect. The comb is incredibly simple to manoeuvre and enables you to cover more lashes with each stroke, evenly distributing the mascara with no clumping or smudging.
More than 120 different brushes tested to come up with the solution that Maxi Lash brush comb is the ONE you need for volume.
• 1500 hours spent testing the brushes in Oriflame R&D in Dublin to be sure the one we offer is the best one.
• More than 220 volunteers invited to testing sessions to assure we’ve tried the brush on all kind of lashes.
• Nearly 8000 individual lashes analysed to achieve the best volume results.
The formulation
The mascara is enriched with natural beeswax and lash-conditioning panthenol that help maintain the health and flexibility of your lashes.
The testing
To present the best results and surprise the beauty world extensive tests have been carried out:
The Myth
The bigger brush, the more volume. This is a misconception everyone has. It is not the size of the brush that brings you volume. What you need is an exclusive Oriflame two-sided comb for an explosive 16 times more volume.
The Mascara
THE mascara of this age: a revolutionary dual-effect comb applicator and unique mascara formula, giving the most intense lashes ever! 16X more VOLUME

Jackie Venables
Regional Director
I joined Avon 30 years ago so that I could buy a new pair of curtains! I am now one of the most successful leaders in the UK and Ireland's history, having been promoted to the position of Regional Director in July 2009.
It is exciting being in control of what you can earn, and not having to wait for someone to leave to be promoted. There is always someone new in the team to nurture, develop and help to succeed.
Thanks to the Avon family we can reach the seemingly unreachable - being a winner and number one!
When my boyfriend asked me to marry him, I needed extra money to put into our 'Wedding account'. I was working full-time as a secretary and not looking to replace my 'real job', I just needed to top up my £100-a-month salary.
Around the same time my boss invited me to an Avon party. I was interested in how it all worked and started chatting to the Consultant, who suggested I have a go.
My first party was a big success. I earned lots and was amazed how easy it was to sell the cosmetics, mainly because they were such good quality. Three years later, a few months before my wedding, I gave up my secretarial job and focused on the parties.
Holding Avon parties is easy. You hand out brochures to friends and family, and start getting orders. Or you can buy a starter kit with samples and literature for £15 and invite friends round for coffee. You can even sell door-to-door.
This kind of work suits me: I like being my own boss, I like structuring my own hours and I like having the money!

    We believe in beauty the way nature intended. From the very beginning, we have been convinced that natural is better than artificial. Inspired by the uncomplicated beauty of the Swedish woman, and with an emphasis on natural ingredients and materials, our cosmetics offer has been a truly natural one for almost four decades.
    Think of Sweden and you cannot help thinking about nature. With its vast expanses of wild forests and unpopulated land, pure waters and clear skies, Sweden is an unspoiled country. Its strong seasonal variations have made it rich in herbs and plants that have beneficial qualities for health and beauty. Because they need to survive dark and inhospitable winters, many plants possess very high levels of vitamins and acids. It's no wonder then, that a lot of our ingredients come from Swedish soil, or that we have a long skincare tradition at Oriflame. Some of our first skincare products were based on plants like birch and cloudberry, which are found in abundance here.
    Nature is our greatest source of inspiration, and we have a deep sense of respect for it. That is why all the natural materials we use are from renewable resources, and why we always make a point of acting in an environmentally-friendly way.
    Our Swedish heritage also inspires the design of our products and packaging. Understated yet stylish, simple yet sophisticated, a natural minimalist approach should be the final signature on all our products.
