20 Years, Two Names, and One Big Pivot: Meet "Mary K with Avon"

They say life is a journey of “pivots,” and as I hit my 20th year in my Avon business, I’m taking my biggest turn yet.

The Story Behind the Name

When I started this Avon journey in 2006, I was Mary Halsey. In 2013, I became Mary Kominska after finally saying “yes” to my husband, Scott. (Fun fact: He actually proposed in 1987, and I said no! Proof that some of the best things in life—and business—take time and the right timing.)

The Rebrand: Mary K with Avon

I am celebrating two decades of beauty, I’m leaning into the name I was born to have. I’m officially rebranding as Mary K with Avon.

I’m the “Mary” you’ve trusted for 20 years, simply with a fresh vision and that signature Avon glow. This “pivot” is about honoring my history while stepping boldly into the future.

Why Pivot Now?

After 20 years, I’ve learned that if you aren’t growing, you’re standing still. 

My 2026 Pivot means:

More Energy: A refreshed commitment to my customers.

More Expertise: Two decades of beauty knowledge at your service.

The Same Heart: I’m still the same Mary, simply more “me” than ever.

I am excited to show you what’s next!

 As you already know, Avon’s beauty products are legendary. In previous blogs I have shared items that not only make your life easier, but are great gifts – even for those who are hard to shop for. What you might not be aware of is that Avon also offers fashion. This year you can get unique fashion pieces as easily as you order your next mascara.


I’m especially excited because of an opportunity (yes, another one!) I had with Avon. Every two weeks the company offers a training session called the “A-list Show” to support each new campaign. It includes tips, strategies, and recent highlights presented by Dee, who chooses a co-host to assist with each show. For the last two years, I dreamed of having her select me. I knew it would be a lot of fun, and sharing tips with other Avon reps always brings me joy. In August I attended our national convention and this time, Dee and I were able to connect.


A month after the convention my phone rang. It was Dee…inviting me to co-host the A List!!!
The show aired on October 16th.


I was so honored and excited to be in front of thousands of Avon reps to introduce the latest information on new products…and how to help our customers benefit the most from our company. Now we all know how fast the end of the year flies by, which is why I’m reminding you to check out our virtual flippable brochurenow to view the incredible variety of gifts that Avon has to offer. You can also view everything we have to offer on my online store. You can also call or text me at 480-684-2866! Shopping early for everyone on your list is the best way I know how to remove that last-minute stress of what should be a joyful season.
