There's something about receiving a package in the mail. It's like Christmas, but it's a Monday and you're at work. Your coworkers are eying the box jealously, wondering what sorts of goodies you've received. You see them watching, and you think "You're all suckaz". And then there's something about receiving a package - with samples! I was always that kid that would beg to tag along to Costco, solely for the samples. AveYou brought themselves from 4 stars to 5 stars with those tiny vials and packets of fun! AveYou has a million bajillion beauty products to choose from, so I was easily distracted from my Bliss mission. I suddenly started diagnosing myself with "Ultra dry skin" or "Brittle hair". I NEEDED these beauty products. Luckily the angel on my shoulder convinced me not to spend too many dollaz. I've decided to resort to this method: Every pay period I will permit myself to make one beauty purchase from AveYou, so that I can slowly attain my goal of being pretty. read more

Great selection of phyto products, my fave. And a wonderful box of FULL SIZE "stylist favorites" for an amazing price, that I haven't found anywhere else **coughs** and **chokes** and stares down the heavily made up eyes of sephora. And I don't know, but something tells me, someone, somewhere, behind the scenes of aveyou is a nail polish fiend. And I'm grateful. I've become a bit of a nail polish hoarder myself, so I'll be seeing YOU again aveyou. Delivery was super fast and just in time to get the products to me to get ready for my sister's wedding. And what a bonus, they included a fairly nice go to carrying bag, like a re-usable shopping bag with handles that already came in handy to tote my change of shoes for said wedding. Awesome. My only gripe, and it's minor, is that the website could use an updated design. Was a little awkward finding what you are looking for. read more

Yes, two beauty shops CAN work together..... I have had the privilege of working with Brian and Avenue You on several occasions and he is very professional and courteous. Keep up the great work! read more

I was introduced to this site after buying 3 KGB deals for $50 worth of products for $25. I should have bought more. They carry my new love, Dermalogica. My items have shipped by the next day, and I receive my items the day after that. I can't complain about the $1 shipping promotion on orders over $50. My only gripe is, I don't like the set up of the site. You can't search by product type ie: shampoo, or sun screen. There are 4 general categories ie: skin care/cosmetics, hair care, etc, and under each category, is a list of every brand that carries products in that genre. So, if you're looking for eyeshadow for example, you would click on the skin care/cosmetics tab. The site then gives you a list of hundreds of brand names (in alphabetical order) that sell products that can fall under the skin care or cosmetics category. Pretty confusing for someone who isn't looking for a particular brand. The site would be way more user friendly if they had subcategories. This way, you could shop for products instead of brands. As for price, I often find the same products cheaper on Amazon. And Amazon offers free shipping on a lot of things. So, after I use my last certificate, I'm going back to Amazon. read more

Placed an order at about 2am on Monday night next morning at about 10am I had a notice that my order had shipped and I received it two days later oh and their prices are definitely below their competitors. I will def order again read more

I'm no Patrick Bateman, but I definitely take pride in taking care of myself. Moisturizing is VERY important. I was always an Oil of Olay fan, but I was browsing Avenue You at the recommendation of my ex girlfriend (whatever) and saw tons of promising sounding moisturizers. This review sounds ridiculous. Anyway, I found what I was looking for, as well as some hair products (my thick curly hair has to be tamed) and I was shocked at how quickly my goodies were delivered. The website is really easy to navigate (i'm no internet expert), and I even scored some samples. Sweet. Honestly, I'm scared for my lotion and pomade to run out, because I have a feeling that I'm going to end up signing for a 20 lb box of skin/hair care products. And after that I might be trying to get a reservation at Dorsia. Or killing people to Huey Lewis and the News. Resist....resist! read more

I am definitely a fan of Avenue You and will be a returning customer. There was a wide arrange of high quality products to choose from, the delivery was the quickest I've ever experienced, and the free samples and access beauty pass program is always a bonus. I would have given you 5 stars, but I found the website to be a little bit cluttered for a person who may just be browsing and not know exactly what they want or be familiar with alot of the products. Other than that, I was very satisfied. read more

After hearing amazing raves about Avenueyou from a close friend, I had to try it out for myself. I ordered two nail polishes to start-- Essie's "E! Live From the Red Carpet" & "OPI's Mod About You". My order came in on the expected date, packaged well, and with additional information about the variety of other nail colors from Essie & OPI. My nails and toes have never looked better! I agree with Briana M.... it's like feels like Christmas when you get to open that little package waiting for you by the door filled with goodies :-). I will definitely be coming back to Aveyou for all my future beauty needs! read more

I had a horrible experience with AVEYOU. I ordered a Japonesque lipstick palette and the photo made the product look like it was a quality product. When it arrived, I noticed it was very flimsy and the latch wouldn't close because it kept catching on the stiff hinge that would become blocked because of the plastic separator in the middle. These things happen, but when I contacted them to get a refund I hit another problem. They were quick in accepting the palette and issuing a merchandise credit, but the code they gave me to use as a credit did not work. I E-mailed them several times. Each of their replies was bascially, "try again...you may be entering the code incorrectly..." I was about to lose my mind, so the last two times, I asked them to please process the order for me manually. They ignored this and told me to keep trying and/or call their toll-free number. I'm done. read more

Such a fun store! I really felt like a kid in a candy store . And The girls who work in their are so sweet

Ordered a package from this store for my fiance on our anniversary. Opened the package and instead of my gift of perfume I found some body cream addressed to someone else. So disappointed in the service offered by this place. Do not buy anything online from them. read more

I LOVE this store! Not only do they have amazing, hard to find products, but they have them at affordable prices! I have shopped at the store and online and both experiences have been wonderful. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, and the store is beautiful inside. When I ordered online I received my order extremely fast, sometimes only taking a day or two. read more

I tried ordering a product from Avenue You and had a horrible experience! I ordered the product in mid-October, and it was sent to the wrong address. Admittedly, this was my fault, because I had an old address in Amazon. The original package disappeared, and company very kindly offered to send me a second package. Then the problems started. They sent the second package to the same old address, even though I provided them with the correct address in WRITING! When I called to alert them of this, they promised to re-route the UPS package to my correct address. Then they send me a THIRD package to the same incorrect address. My favorite part of the experience was the email I received from the company on my second email, which implied that I was lying to them and essentially trying to cheat them. All they had to do was call UPS and ask which address was on the packages! They would have very quickly discovered that they had made a mistake. But instead they accused me, the customer, of being the problem. Clearly this is not a company that has a good computer system. Don't order from them, and whatever you do, don't suggest that they've made a mistake. It will all be your fault. Addendum: As an addendum to the earlier posting, I should note that the company finally resolved the problem involving my order, and I received the original product after several long emails with the owner. I understand that the owner very likely did not believe my stories about the missing packages, and I'm grateful that they resolved the situation. That said, Avenue You never attempted any explanation for why the boxes had gone missing ... or really accepted responsibility for it. read more

Awesome selection of hair care products for curly and textured girls! They have made my transition to natural hair so much easier because not many on the ground retailers in my area have higher quality products for african american hair. This is my one stop shop for Curl Junkie Products because they always have awesome discount codes and $1 shipping can't be beat. I always get my order within 3-4 days and I live in the midwest : ) Definitely planning on ordering more beauty goodies for skin and nails. Thanks Aveyou! read more

I am always apprehensive shopping from sites that i didn't necessarily hear about before. Plus I will admit like other reviewers that the website looks quite outdated so I first worried it would be some type of fake site...until I found out Aveyou was also an actual store in NJ. its my second order had to post a review... I'm officially a fan. Super fast shipping, which is definitely a big plus, and they carry products that i cant find anywhere, or sometimes i just don't want to be running around NYC to find the shampoo i need...Placed an order last Tuesday, it shipped the same day and I received it on Wednesday morning. They made a slight mistake with my order (one of my 2 hair bands pack came in a different color) but I was so happy with the fast shipping (1 dollar), the products (including my fav rhassoul clay that I cant find anywhere else) that I'm not going to bother returning this item. The website is not the most convenient, I feel customers may be tempted and buy more if it was better organized, but overall it's quite easy to browse when you know what type of products you are looking for... I will definitely order again and recommend them. read more

Getting a package in the mail from them is like a little kid in a candy factory! i absolutely love the products!

Don't buy from this place. You won't get what you ordered and won't get your money back. First class scammer

I have NEVER had such a bad buying experience in my entire life of buying things. This company takes no responsibility or effort to right their wrongs or even care. They delete anything bad so your only flooded with good reviews online and think they have excellent service. Instead they don't return phone calls, offer no help, never apologized, let you purchase things that are out of stock and never bother to let you know they don't have it and when they or if they send you your stuff they don't tell you it's out of stock, instead they do nothing but hope you don't notice and keep your money. I was promised over night shipping for my troubles (after I said this is the 3rd time I have been charged on my credit card WITHOUT a successful order even going thru,which is beyond me how that is legal, but don't even get me started their, then BOTH of the packages were lost in the mail....so I said hey the very LEAST this company can do is over night these products I PAID for 3 times over TWO MONTHS ago and haven't received....I was told absolutely they will be their in the morning!! SURPRISE SURPRISE, they were not. I had to track down my original packages myself with daily phone calls with the post office and when they did arrive (2 weeks later) half of the items were missing. When you call their phone number they make you say your name before they will let the call go thru and no shock here if I said my name KYLE, I would be sent straight to voice mail, if I made up a name like, Megan my call would be answered, but again it didn't matter this company never followed thru with anything even if they offered anything. I even said all those times I talked to on the phone why wouldn't you also say hey, I'm really sorry but I want to let you know some of the items you paid for were not shipped they are "out of stock" would you like a refund or them sent later? Instead nothing, not even a note on the packaging slip stating they were out of stock. This company does t even deserve to be in business period. I wish people knew the truth before ordering so they could avoid this nightmare. All in all I was charged on my credit card FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME ORDER, BOTH packages were lost after being sent out finally two months AFTER my order, when I finally tracked them down they were both missing items. I was never given a refund for anything, never offered anything, not even a phone call from some type of management saying wow, we really messed up here and I want to apologize, let me at least get all the facts here so I can insure this never happens to anyone else. Instead it was like a game, oh let's ignore her, take her money and hope she goes away. I finally did give up after months and took my losses because they were so u professional I couldn't even believe it. All reviews, posts or anything were removed, I would post daily, and my phone calls were sent to voicemail, or was hung up on or never returned. I have never in my life had such a bad experience and sadly I no longer make any purchases online after this. read more
