    So I was walking along minding my own business when the Woman, named Kylar, caught my attention and asked if I have tried Avani products before.  I actually had tried their scrub at another mall in the city.  She said that was good, but had I tried their nail care product?  No I hadn't, so she asked if she could demonstrate it on me.  I wasn't in a hurry so I went with it.  

    I chose to try the "refreshing" set, she rubbed my one hand with the lotion, which was very nice.  I tend to be very sensitive to lotions, especially if they have fragrance in them, but this one was very light and didn't bother me.  She then told me to prepare myself for some magic!  I laughed to myself, she sure was excited about these products.  Now I don't get my nails manicured ever, so they are dull and dry.  She used the 3 step buffer on one of my nails and WHAM it was shiny and smooth, like I had put on polish!  I'm not going to lie, I was impressed!  She then rubbed in an oil on my cuticle and my one finger tip looked beautiful!  

    Now came the sales pitch.  One set costs $50 but she would give me another one for free, which I could use as a gift.  I told her I didn't really have that much money to spend on that sort of thing, so she immediately said she would give me one for only $25.  I told her i could do that.  

    Before she would let me go, she wanted to show me their dead sea mud, so she did a little demo on my wrist.  I was pretty impressed with the results, but I could spend $50 on a jar of mud, so I told her I would pass but thanked her for showing me it.  She happily rang me through and thanked me for listening.  If I ever needed any other product she told me to come see her and she would set me up.

    I was impressed with the Avani products, the prices are up there, but getting some at a discount was a huge plus in my mind!  Expect a good sales pitch if you stop at this kiosk!
