Do You Recommend Any Direct Sales Companies?

I was an Avon beauty advisor years ago for 8 years. I never made a dime.
I used their cream-to-powder foundation on my face. Guess what the foundation did? When I used the applicator underneath my bottom lashes, it stretched my under eye skin. Now it looks like I was either beat up or strung out on drugs. Don't use the cream-to-powder foundation, ladies!
However, I do love their perfume "Far Away".
Their hair removal cream (for example, for your legs and armpits) is super. You could have the Amazon forest on your legs and it will take it off in 8 minutes.
It is really a pain when people order, then once the product is in, they do not want the product. Then, you either have to re-sell or ship it back to Avon.
Some women succeed at it. Some women don't. I think men should get into the business.
What is your experience with direct sales and do you recommend any?

I have never tried any direct sales positions, but I know a lady who claims to be having a lot of success with Monat Hair (she was trying to get me to sign up as a consultant, but I'm just not interested in doing that sort of thing.) She claims in her first month she earned $600 while basically doing nothing.
I have known so many gals who have tried doing that sort of thing and fail at it, though. Avon, Mary Kay, Pure Romance, Scentsy, Lularoe...not one single person I know has ever been successful selling that stuff. My cousin sold Avon for a while, and I used to order from her, but she ended up giving it up after she realized they were charging her fees that she had been unaware of.

@Spontaneo I believe they sell products that promote hair growth. My friend discovered them when she was looking for something to help combat her thinning hair.
