Earnings Per Share Reconciliation [Abstract] 
Earnings per Share and Share Repurchases
EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SHARE REPURCHASES
We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Our participating securities are our grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents.

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, we did not include stock options to purchase 19.3 million shares and 18.4 million shares of Avon common stock, respectively, in the calculations of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
We purchased approximately 0.3 million shares of Avon common stock for $6.8 during the first nine months of 2011, as compared to approximately 0.4 million shares of Avon common stock for $11.3 during the first nine months of 2010 under our previously announced share repurchase program and through acquisition of stock from employees in connection with tax payments upon vesting of restricted stock units.
