This produced can be purchased through Avon representatives.
This lipstick is a light pink colour which means it is a nice and soft colour.
I actually wear this lipstick a lot.
It doesn't dry out your lips and is actually quite moisturizing, leaving you with a soft and silky look.
A must have in your lipstick collection.

I really am in love with the Vivid Violet colour that I tried. I would normally not even consider buying purple lipstick but I got this sample and I am in love. It also last a really long time.

Avon Ultra Colour bold lipstick in 'Berry Bold' : dare to be Berry Bold. This lippy will take you from drab to fab in 3.6 seconds. Fluid, moisturising application adds to its boldness. A lovely summer shade for anyone willing to step out of the norm.
Avon Big & Daring volume mascara in 'Brown / Black' : a curved applicator awaits inside, providing big and daring results. Long lasting results, which tends itself towards the darker side of brown / black.

Even though the colour was very bright and light for me, i still enjoyed testing and trying out this fantastic lipstick. It went on matte and stayed the entire day! it is soft and so easy to apply and the colour was great, one application gave you full coverage! I would normally never wear this shade or even give it a second look, its quite a barbie pink and I really enjoyed reviewing it :) Thank you Avon and BB for pushing me past my comfort zone and into the world of Dare to Be!!!! Would love to explore the other shades too!

I loved the colour I suited me , I was a bit sceptical at first but everyone in the office complimented me. It felt soft , and i kept my lips moisturised for the whole day. The big daring mascara is amazing I can't leave the house without putting it on me. I have nice eye lashes and it made them appear longer and fuller. Thank you BB team and Avon these were the best gifts for me . Santa came early for me

Of course I was ecstatic when I received that mail informing me that I’m one of the fortunate few to try out and review yet another good product by Avon. I have been given the below 2 products to review:
1. Avon Ultra Bold Colour Lipstick – Rapid Rose
2. Avon Big Daring Mascara - Black
Packaging:
1. The exterior of the lipstick is just as good as the interior. I immediately tested the opening of the cap and the twist functionality of the applicator. I also like the black and silver packaging that gives it a more sophisticated and bold appeal.
2. I enjoy the packaging of the Big Daring mascara as it makes for a good grip. The applicator brush also is the correct type and size to add maximum benefit in ensuring bold, daring eyelashes.
Feel:
1. The application of the lipstick is very smooth and because the colour is so bold and intense, minimal effort and less application is required to get an even spread on the lips.
2. At first it was good and coated the eyelashes well, until I felt that it dried out and a second application is needed for it to not feel dry and flake.
Lasting:
1. The lipstick is not matt, neither is it a high gloss - which is the perfect balance that you want from a lipstick that is this bold. The last thing you want is for it to be too glossy and it ends up looking tacky or for it to be too matt and you still have the reminiscence of it on your lips for 3 days to come! That ends up also looking tacky. I personally use softer nudes and more natural colours and mainly matt colours with a bit of gloss on sometimes, however this is a great switch up for the Spring/Summer. I applied in the morning and it lasted the whole day. Pretty sure it’ll last the whole of Spring and Summer too.
2. When I applied the mascara, the lasting effect seemed to have been great, until I noticed that later on during the day it started to flake off. This is weird to me because I know that lipstick and other makeup may need to be applied more than twice a day in cases, but I’ve never done it for mascara. It’s like it almost got dry and I felt that it was drying out my eyelashes too. ?
Tips:
1. I dabbed a finger over my lips and blended it into the area of my cheek bones that’s close to my hairline.
2. Apply over the top of the eyelashes first and then from the underneath in an upward motion to get a more even coating and bigger daring curl effect. This will need to be done twice a day due to the drying nature of the mascara.
Even though the lipstick colour doesn't fully suit my skin tone, I decided to continue using it with a darker Avon gloss over. It adds a bit of daring and boldness to my Spring/Summer look :)A little bit definitely goes a long way here!

When I first found out that Irina Shayk would be the new brand ambassador for avon I could not contain myself. Apart from being exceedingly beautiful, her makeup and clothes are always on point.
I received the Avon dare to be lipstick in the shade BERRY BOLD. The colour is vibrant, bright and intense. It really does brighten up your face and does give you the added boost of confidence. The colour you see in the brochure is the exact colour that you will get on your lips upon application. Highly pigmented. Highly moisturising. High shine. Definitely living up to its expectations in that regard.
The packaging is neat, modest, nothing too fancy. I'd have no qualms whipping this out of my handbag if I needed to reapply.
What I did not love about this lipstick was that it was a bit too creamy.
Due to its extra creamy texture, it tends to bleed a lot, especially on to my teeth and Chin.
This unfortunately was a deal breaker for me. As beautiful as the colour is, I had to to constantly be looking into a mirror to ensure that no lipstick had bled into my teeth or on to the sides of me mouth.
Will I purchase this lipstick? I highly doubt it. But i do believe that for R69,95 you are getting your money's worth.
The Avon Big and Daring Volume Mascara - now this product I LOVE. You notice a difference upon initial application. The spoolie coats the lashes really well , separating the lashes as it goes along. My lashes look longer and thicker.
The best way to apply it is whilst sitting near a fan or a window, and wait for the prior coat to dry before you apply the next to ensure minimal clumping . This way your mascara just builds on to your lashes giving it a more natural finish.
The packaging is similar to the lipstick's. It's modest, modern and neat.
I will definitely be adding this mascara to my list of favourites. For its price of R64,95 I'd consider this a bargain.

With big brand giants such as Christian Dior ,Bobby Brown , Estee Lauder ,Mac , one cant help but wonder how does Avon fare in comparison with the leading cosmetic brands in the makeup industry ? With Avon being cost effective what does that mean for the quality and effectiveness of their makeup ? When I heard about Avon's new Colour Bold range I did not do the dance of joy especially upon reading the names of the lipsticks , it was quite worrying especially if you so used to routine with makeup you become hesitant to try new things.But I was in for a pleasant surprise .....
I received Colour Bold Lipstick in Coral Burst and the Daring Volume Mascara in black.When I saw the colour of the lipstick I cringed!It looked orange to me!!And so I tried it on .... It looked incredible and felt more hydrating than my Labello!I like that this lipstick is super opaque, highly pigmented and that just one swipe could give you a rich, colourful swatch.The same "bold" rich colour you see on the lipstick is the same "bold" colour you see on your lips!Although its a matte lipstick it provides adequate moisture and does not crease into the fine lip lines.I used a chocolate brown lipliner from Charlie to neaten the edges and it really looked incredible
So Avon took a "bold" step ahead in the colour industry as True Colour Technology is definitely achieved in this lipstick.
I am not a fan of mascara sadly to say , and Avons mascara reminded me why!I admit I liked the curved brush to make application easy for mascara virgins , but alas the formula made my eyelashes feel like I had used a dose of cement , I was displeased with the stiffening effect this had on my lashes not to mention the irritation it caused my eyes as you see in the pictures , I am also having a difficult time removing it , thumbs down for the mascara!
Both products can be purchased online (www.avon.co.za) or from an Avon Representative
The mascara is R129,95 whilst the lipstick is R69,95

I am always on the hunt for a great mascara so was like a kid on Christmas practically ripping the box open to try out Avon's newest and most daring kid on the block.
To start with I loved the packaging and how well the wand is designed, I have more than my fair share of black smudges on the bridge of my nose or corners of my eye due to poorly designed wands. I didn't suffer this with this mascara which is fantastic.
The formula is by far the best Avon have ever produced, it is the perfect balance of wetness and drying time, allowing you to build to your required level without the brush getting stuck half way though dried clumpy lashes.
Once dry I found no transfer to either my upper lids or the area just below my eye, racoon is not a good look on anyone other than, well other than a racoon really so I was naturally thrilled with this.
The mascara has great staying power, so much so they I would advise on using a good eye makeup remover when you're done.
One the Big and Daring side, I did find it added loads of volume but fell a bit short in the lengthening department. That said it ticks more than enough of my boxes to be considered a dam good mascara!
The formula has stayed silky smooth all through my 101 applications, which is rare for a mascara and alas has almost come to an end.I will soon be hounding my Avon rep for another.

So Avon have upped the ante yet again! If you like me fell in love with the Ultra Colour Absolute Lipstick then you are definitely going to want to try out the Ultra Colour Bold range.
I recently got to test one of these pigment packed pistols in the colour 'Pink Punch'. First off I would just like to state that I would be considered quite 'drab' to the make-up world with 50 shades of nude making up my lipstick collection. Needless to say I was more than terrified to apply such a bright, bold colour, especially since I am no Michelangelo with the lip liner which I feel is essential when applying such eye catching colours.
I decided patience was key and took my time prepping and lining which really pays off when being brazen. I paired the lipstick with Avon's Ultra Glimmerstick - Pink Bouquet, which glides on like a dream and is a near perfect colour match to the lipstick.
I was completely blown away, not only did I ADORE the shade but made a mental breakthrough in deciding my lipstick collection requires a makeover of its own. The lipstick is as claimed and is extremely pigmented and incredibly creamy. I paraded around all day pleased as punch and got a good 5 hours wear without re-applying.
As I am fair the pink was a perfect choice for me. I advise checking which will suit yours best before you dare to be...The results will be that much more satisfying.
I urge all my fellow 'Nudists' to get out there and GO BIG and GET BOLD, even if just at home, you may be surprised by the result. With Summer just around the corner, now with the perfect time to take the plunge.

I was happy to received this lipstick in Starburst Pink.
PRODUCT CLAIMS:
1) Full colour, bold lipstic.
2) High-impact lip color with a moisturizing texture and creamy feel.
3) Super-pigmnented, high intensity shades.
4) The rich colour on the lipstick is the same colour you see on your lips.
5) Hydrating formula.
6) Full, even coverage that lasts for hours.
7) SPF15
MY THOUGHTS:
1) AT LAST Avon made a lipstick that is true to the shades indicated in the catalogue. In the past I got a bit frustrated, as lipstick colours in their catalogue, never seemed to be the same in real life.
2) The lipstick glided on and definitely has a creamy texture.
3) I love the fact that it contains SPF15. We all need sun protection and so do our lips!
4) It did seem to last a bit longer than the other Avon lipsticks I have tried in the past, but still not as long as I would have liked.
5) The lipstick is highly pigmented. The colour is a bit ;light for my fair skin tone though, so I jazzed it up with a layer of Avon's metallic eyeshadow (yes eyeshadow :-) and added another layer lipstick. That was all rounded off with a darker shade glimmerstick in Brick. (As you can see on the pics).
FINAL VERDICT: A definite improvement on colour pigmentation and last a bit longer than other Avon lipsticks. If you are looking for a hydrating lipstick, this is your answer. Would I buy another maybe darker colour in the range?...MAYBE. The lipstick had a bit of a waxy feel on my lips, which I disliked. Over all though...a good try!

I received the Avon Big and Daring Mascara as well as the Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick in Ruby Shock.
I absolutely fell in love with the colour of the lipstick at first sight. I love these big bold colours as they really make a statement! The lipstick is smooth, vibrant and lasts for a very long time! However I found that you HAVE to use a good lip liner with this colour as it bleeds quite badly if you don't. But with just one swipe, the colour was bold and vibrant!
I wasn't very impressed with the mascara. For an Avon mascara I think it's probably better than the other ones, but compared to my usual Maybelline mascara I didn't like it. It does coat your eyelashes quite well but didn't make them as long as my other mascara does.
All in all, great products from Avon - they are certainly becoming a big competitor in the makeup industry! :)

Wow, thank you for choosing me to review the ultra colour bold lipstick and big and daring mascara!
I NEVER wear lipstick so decided to give bold a try! I absolutely loved how smooth it went on my lips and how luxurious it felt. It lasted a long time and I only applied it one more time during the course of my evening out. Thumbs up from me!!
And the mascara is awesome!! It adds great length to my lashes and gives the impression of falsies.
I would recommend both products to women who want to feel feminine and gorgeous... :)

Thank you to Beauty Bulletin and Avon for being chosen as one of the reviewers for the #AvonDareToBe challenge! I was over the moon when I received my post office parcel notification! Love those little midweek highs!
Lets start off with the Big and Daring Volume Mascara in Brown/Black... I love mascara... the bigger and bolder the eyelashes the better! My first trial of Brown/Black didn't disappoint. I love the way the brush managed to catch even the tiniest of corner lashes. The formula did dry quite quickly though which didn't allow for much layering of product. It lasted for the day in Durban humidity and prevented me from looking like a raccoon! Win! Removal of the mascara was a little challenging though did come off neatly without streaking which was great! Best part is I didn't experience any allergies which was a real bonus. Are there any other mascara junkies that would rather suffer the occasional allergy to have long thick luscious eyelashes... ? I guess just me then ;)
Moving on to the Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick in STARBURST PINK!
I LOVE the packaging... Hotpink and Black... GORGEOUS!!! I love the smell... I love the way it glides on smoothly... I love colour... I really wish the colour loved me though!!!(I wont scare you beauties with a pic!) I looked washed out :( I blotted and glossed and oh what a difference... I love it!

AVON BIG & DARING VOLUME MASCARA
The Avon Big & Daring Volume Mascara claims the following: "5 x the volume and a clump-free, smudge-free, flake-free build, lasting 24 hours."
I found the mascara easy to apply. It was not clumpy, although I like the Avon Mega EffectsMascara better. It lasted the whole day, and just like it said it did not flake or smudge (which was weird because I rub my eyes ALL THE TIME!). Because it is so long lasting, I had trouble taking it off with my usually cleanser, but I am sure if you use a eye make-up cleanser, it will work fine.
Overall, I am quite impressed with the fact that it did not flake or smudge, and it felt very natural and light on my eyes.
ULTRA BOLD LIPSTICK - Pink Punch
First of all, the colour is indeed bold! I received the Pink Punch, and although I normally don't like flashy colours, I kind of liked this pink (I think it grows on you!). So I decided to be BOLD and wear it! The formula is really nice, feels like a lip balm and it also has a fruity smell which was nice. Not overpowering, just lingering. It has quite a decent staying power, and did not rub off quickly. I also tested by rubbing it off immediately after applying it, and it was quite a struggle, I was left with a nice pink tint. Just a last note, since the colour is quite bold, make sure you exfoliate your lips before applying (if you have problems with chapped/dry lips) as it will show quite easily through the colour.
The Avon Big & Daring Volume Mascara claims the following: "5 x the volume and a clump-free, smudge-free, flake-free build, lasting 24 hours."
I found the mascara easy to apply. It was not clumpy, although I like the Avon Mega EffectsMascara better. It lasted the whole day, and just like it said it did not flake or smudge (which was weird because I rub my eyes ALL THE TIME!). Because it is so long lasting, I had trouble taking it off with my usually cleanser, but I am sure if you use a eye make-up cleanser, it will work fine.
Overall, I am quite impressed with the fact that it did not flake or smudge, and it felt very natural and light on my eyes.
ULTRA BOLD LIPSTICK - Pink Punch
First of all, the colour is indeed bold! I received the Pink Punch, and although I normally don't like flashy colours, I kind of liked this pink (I think it grows on you!). So I decided to be BOLD and wear it! The formula is really nice, feels like a lip balm and it also has a fruity smell which was nice. Not overpowering, just lingering.

The lipstick colour that I received was max mocha, I like it very much it keeps your lips moisturised the entire time and does not smudge, I will definitely try other colours. Also the Big & Daring mascara it made my lashes look big and gave them volume, before this l was not a fan of mascara but now l am hooked.

Ultra Bold Lipstick - Vivid Violet. . I'm loving the colour, it's really really bold.
Always looking for a good moisturiser as well as a good colour. And this ultra bold lipstick does it for it.
It also fits with my skin colour because I'm so light, however in future il go for a more pinkesh because I love pink lips or more red.
In all this is a good lipstick, really worth spending a few pennies for a good look also its keeps those lips nice and moist for long

I received my #AvonDareToBe Bold lipstick and mascara about two weeks ago and have been wearing especially the mascara since then.
The lipstick colour is called Rapid Rose and is quite subtle, which I love. Usually I would not even look at colour that isn't in the plum/wine colour spectrum. But I might have to reconsider that.
The lipstick is matte, applies smoothly to my lips and feels light. It has a faint rosy scent. I like everything about it.
I received a black Big daring volume mascara. The brush is wide and gives volume to my lashes. A lot of excess mascara stuck onto the brush though. And removing the mascara was a mission and a half.
I liked that the mascara wasn't runny and didn't smudge at any point.
In all I really liked these two bold products - especially considering the low price - that took me out of my comfort zone.

Receiving the Avon Vivid Violet and the Big and Daring Volume mascara has definitely made my Spring brighter. I have been using these for well over a week now and I must say, I am madly in love with the awesome products. Thanks to Avon and Beauty Bulletin for these amazing products. I love the mascara which give my lashes volume and the lovely lipstick colour which has inspired me to wear matching bright and beautiful outfits. I am also eager to purchase other beautiful colours which I fell in love with when I saw the book from Avon. Every girl deserves to have these products which are perfect for the spring and summer seasons ahead.

l am very excited to be doing this review. The Ultra colour bold lipstick l received from Avon is called Rapid Rose. And true to its name the lipstick is bold and vibrant. Love the fact that it just glides on the lips when applying, feels smooth and moisturizes the lips. l would certainly recommend the Avon Ultra colour bold lipstick range for an lady wanting vibrancy, colour and to really stand out. My favorite of the two was the Big & Daring mascara, l loved that it really made my lashes look big and gave them volume (now l can really bat my lashes lol). Before this l was not a fan of mascara but now l am hooked :)

I was very excited to be selected to try the Avon Ultra Bold Lipstick and Big and Daring Volume Mascara.
Initially I was disappointed when I saw that the colour of mascara I had received was brown/black. Although I am very pale I love thick, dark lashes so I always opt for blackest black. Having said that, I was actually pleasantly surprised at the brown/black as it is still sufficiently dark, particularly for daytime. The mascara creates beautiful volume and this is definitely one I will buy for myself when it comes to an end. In the beginning i found the wand quite chunky and a little tricky to control, but I have got the hang of it now and have no problems.
The lipstick colour that I received was Berry Bold, and I was over the moon about this as I have a complete red lipstick fetish at the moment! After only wearing nude colours for many years I recently discovered my love of red lipstick and have been snapping them up in varying shades and textures.
The Avon Ultra Bold lipstick has a very soft creamy texture which applies easily and smoothly. Berry Bold is a beautiful bright red (in the photo it looks a bit more orange than it does in real life). It lasts surprisingly well for a creamy lipstick, however as I am not one to reapply my lipstick every few hours, when wearing red I think I will stick to my long-lasting variants.

I got the surprise of my life when I got the notification from my post office that I had a parcel to fetch and found that it was from Beauty Bulletin with Avon products. I received the Big and daring volume mascara (black) and Dare to be bold lipstick (brown). Now I don't wear lipstick because it tends to dry my lips out but I found the Avon lipstick to moisturising. It glides on the lips effortlessly and does nor leave you feeling like you need to apply gloss on top of it. I absolutely loved that and I will definitely try other colours as well.
I have non-existent eye lashes. The little bit I do have points to all sorts of directions so the mascara for me the works the best are ones with tiny brushes. The Avon Big and Daring volume mascara has a big brush and that didn't work well for my lashes. However, I must mention that I didn't experience any lumps.

I was so very excited to have been chosen to review the new Avon Ultra Colour Bold lipstick and Big & Daring Volume Mascara! The lipstick shade I received was Bare Impact, which is a very soft nude colour. The mascara is a brown/black. Let's start with the mascara:
Personally, I like a black mascara best, because I think it makes a bigger difference. So I'm not too fond of the shade. I feel there are two MAJOR downsides to this new mascara. The first is that it is SO waterproof that even with makeup remover, wipes and washing my face, I couldn't get it off! Luckily, a friend on here suggested I try coconut oil. I did try it last night, and was astounded to find it actually worked! (Thanks for the top tip, Lizna!)So be prepared, you'll likely struggle to get it off. The second issue I have is that the hole in the tube is too big, so it doesn't get rid of excess product on the wand, which is inconvenient. Too much product on the wand can cause smudging and a cakey effect. The brush is quite large, so I struggle to coat every strand without making a mess. The mascara also definitely needs two coats to be really effective. However, when I go to the trouble of applying it properly, in two coats, the effect is quite good! I was even asked if I had falsies or extensions going! I'd give the mascara a 3 out of 5. I'd prefer a smaller brush, and the hole in the tube really needs to be smaller.
Now, to the lipstick! As I said, I received the Bare Impact shade. It is a light nude, and not a shade I would normally wear. In terms of "Daring to be bold", this shade doesn't really scream bold to me. However, I really like the lipstick. It goes on easily, and the formula is fabulously rich without being too heavy. It doesn't dry my lips out at all, and has a good wearability to it. It lasts long, and stays gorgeous! I'd definitely give some of the "Bolder" shades a try!
I've covered all of the points in my video review as well - although, I must apologise for the sniffling in the video - I'm recovering from the flu. It's also my very first video review, so I was so nervous, and when I get nervous I get a bit...uh, let's call it awkward!

I was the lucky recipient of 2 avon dare to be bold lipsticks; a berry red which I received in my avon goodie bag at the avon event and a starburst pink from my avon friend, yeah lucky me.
The Beey bold colour was actually not intetional because we were told that we could select the correct colour upfront at the avon event and just ask for it at the gate but, this did not happen. That is how I ended up with this colour.
Nevertheless, at the event, for 1 minute we had to apply lipstick which created a totally bold lip colour look and though, I do not believe this to be a colour suited for me, many people at the venue shouted when they saw me: Wow, you are transformed!. I did not beleive a word and somehow felt that I looked awful with heavy red lips.
The starburst pink is a nice rosy colour which I had hoped would suit me better but, I don't think so either. In fact, I think it makes me look worse. Please see pics below. Not really a better choice.
My take on the lipsticks:
Very moisturising and great matte look with ultra notice me colour and bold features, love the colours just having trouble finding one suited to me. Very reasonably priced and can be worn all day.
Not so great things for me:
The lipsticks are not colour stay and I find myself having to re-apply after about 2 hours or so and, its not just a touch up; I have to wipe and re-apply from scratch so I do not end up with colour lines all over my lips. The lipstick also often rubs off on my clothes, food and teeth, no cool and causes my lips to flake if I don't apply a lipbalm underneath.
Overall its a great lipstick with great bold colours.
So, are you prepared to boldly go where no lips have gone before?

I received my parcel about two weeks ago. I like the mascara most it made my lashes visible. Also like the packaging of both the lipstick and mascara. I did not like the shade of my lipstick, it clashed with my skin tone and it not what I requested. Anyway it is soft on the lips and it lasts. I have made an order with an agent, it will be arriving soon.

I'm big on statement lips and bold mascara, so was excited to be a part of this review panel! I received an Avon Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick in Starburst Pink & Avon Big & Daring Volume Mascara in Brown Black.
Loving the packaging of the Avon Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick, in pretty cerise & black, I tried that first & have been using it for a week. It's advertised as having 50% more pigment, and this is great because it has excellent coverage & gives one a big bang of colour when applied. I also enjoyed that it feels creamy and moisturising when applied and smells delicious, with a sweet, floral scent. This isn't my personal favourite shade of pink - it's quite an ice-cream shade, whereas I prefer a more dramatic deeper pink - but is lovely for spring or teens wanting a pretty pink look. I'd rate this shade a 5 on the Boldometer and it looks quite natural if blotted a little. On me personally each application lasted about 3 hours before I needed to reapply. Avon's September special of 2 Ultra Colour Bold lipsticks for R120 makes this lipstick even more attractive.
When I first opened the Big & Daring Volume Mascara I was slightly disappointed that the jar is so huge - not small purse friendly - however, it's necessary for the big curved wand. It applies smoothly, although I found using the outside edge of the wand easier for application because it kept my lashes separate, whereas using the inside of the curved edge made it clump a little. I only used the inside edge at the end of application to curl my lashes up. The application lasts all day and looks great - I definitely had big, voluminous lashes as promised. I found it a bit drying, so would recommend using it with a lash conditioner or oil. Priced on the September special at R64.95, it's also extremely inexpensive compared to similar products.
One down side of these products is that they contain petrochemicals & the mascara contains parabens, so they're not something I would use every day. However, I really enjoyed the new look achieved using them & the new lipstick shade added some fun to my workday.

The Avon Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick in Ruby shock was nice, but not my favourite. The colour was great, not quite as BOLD as I would have expected, and did not last very long. It went on smoothly and did need a second application later in the day. The price is fantastic, and the packaging was very appealing. I was not very fond of the matte finish so I added a bit of gloss on top of it. I think for the price it is a good quality lipstick, but I would rather stick to my original lipstick.
The Big & Daring Mascara in Black was a winner!! I still prefer Avon's Mega Effects Mascara, but for this price, the mascara is fantastic! The brush is perfectly curved and is the best brush I have ever used. It did lengthen the lashes and added more volume. It lasted all day and did not make my eyes feel "heavy". For that price, I would definitely buy this mascara again!!!!!

I received Avon Ultra BIG and Daring Mascara in Black.
The packaging is very Classy, the wand a different shape to what I normally use, the shape is made to hug your lashes as you apply it.... I have found that by turning the brush the other way the coverage is more intense.My morning application lasts the whole day, no smudging and lashes look fresh sadly I have found this mascara takes a great deal of effort to remove every trace.
My next Avon product is Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick shade BERRY BOLD ...... when I saw that I had been sent this colour my first reaction was NOT for My thin lips!!! but I applied it with a lip brush and was so impressed by the statement it made... wow, I like it a lot. oh and the staying power is good, also now I want to try other bold colours!!!
My colleague at work is an Avon Rep and I ordered the following from her
Avon Colour Trend lipstick in Purley Pink..a gentle colour, feels so creamy my lips feel pampered.
from her I also bought Super Shock Max Mascara in a bright purple and silver tube, great brush, make my eye lashes look longer doesn't flake.
The final purchase is a True Colour Eye Shadow palette in Mocha Latte... four different brown / nude hues with which you can create any look you so desire.
Avon is affordable, in every new catalog you can find great specials

I was lucky to be part of this review club, receiving the Avon Ultra Color Bold Lipstick in Rapid Rose and the The Big and Daring Volume Mascara in Black.
The lipstick is a matte pink/orange shade, perfect for summer. It isn't drying, as a lot of matte lipsticks are, and has a great color pay off. It doesn't take much to to get a bold, vibrant color. It's a great product.
The mascara is a brush wand mascara. It has a curved brush and is quite large. I'm not a huge fan of big wands myself. The brush is curved, and it takes some getting used to. It's not the easiest to use, and I had problems with clumping. It does stay for the day, but does tend to flake towards the end of the day - but that's fine. I prefer smaller, plastic wands, but if you don't mind the wand - the products itself is great!
Thanks Avon and Beauty Bulletin!

I received the lipstick and Mascara, the lipstick colour is Vivid Violet wow love the lipstick on my lips and ofcourse the mascara does give volume but it smudges a bit after and it is difficult to wash off. It makes me feel super beautiful when I have applied these two products because I love looking gorgeous at all times. And ha ha i rate myself ten out of ten when I have this look.
Love the products thanks Avon.

I was very impressed when I recently opened my lipstick for the first time. There is a beautiful scent in the lipstick that comes over you. I was also so pleased to see that although it is a bright and bold colour, it's in pink and I would feel brave enough to wear it. This lipstick is easily applied and is soft on the lips and lasts quite a while.
Meanwhile, I was a bit disappointed with the mascara because although it makes your lashes look quite bold and is easy to apply, once you have worn it for the day it becomes really dry and hard on the eyelashes and is so difficult to take off in the evening with makeup wipes. It also made my lashes look a bit like spider lashes, not a look I love. All in all, the lipstick colour did make me feel bold and gave me quite some confidence. I would rank myself a 7 on the BOLDOMETER :)

I was very curious when I read about Avon's new Bold Colour lipsticks, but I must say, Avon kept there promise to deliver a fantastic product. The texture of the lipstick is almost like a lip ice, but with the colour of a lipstick. The result is no more dry lips, but super moist lips that make a bold statement that say: I have super-sexy lips! Because it is so full of moist, it don't wear off so quickly, so you don't have to refresh your lips so often. The Starburst colour is in line with the pastel colours of the spring season and it can be use with the Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss above to give a wet lips look (Iced Pink 36154). I am very satisfied with the product. You can buy it through a Avon Representative or online at www.avon.co.za

Hey they Beauties. I received the Dare to be bold lipstick and mascara today and was so excited to try it out. I absolutely love, love, love the big and daring volume mascara. My eyelashes are sparse and short and this mascara really accentuated them with lots of volume. I will definitely be wearing the mascara to do my everyday makeup and double up for my nights out. The lipstick I tried is rapid rose and unfortunately it didn't suit me very well as you can see in the pics. However I love that the lipstick is so smooth and moisturising. I did buy a sample of the max mocha lipstick and this is my new favourite lipstick. I'll upload a pic with the max mocha later. Thanks so much Beauty Bulletin for my goodies.

I was the lucky recipient of the Dare to be Bold mascara in Black and the lipstick in Bright nectar. I found with the mascara, the tube was a bit chunky and the brush too big that i had to be careful not to hurt my eyelashes with but the end result far outweighed that little niggle. My eyelashes seemed to be volumised and lengthened at just the first stroke, at that price it will definitely be a daily mascara for me, just a little getting used to. With the lipstick, i don't generally use orange based tones with my complexion as i feel that it enhances flaws and imperfections but loved the smooth, moisturising texture and easy gliding effect of the lipstick so i may not be happy with the colour but it will definitely stay in my beach bag!

Hi all!! I took part in the #AvonDareToBe product review and received the "coral Burst" shade lipstick along with the "Big Daring Volume Mascara". Can honestly say that I truly love these two cosmetic products!!
I was a bit skeptical about the shade of lipstick chosen, but this is a daring challenge and I actually really like the colour! I have a very light complexion and the colour suits my skin type really well. Love the fact the the colour doesn't fade that easily either!
I have been trying out mascara's of almost every brand and never found one that works well for me. But I must say the "Big Daring Volume Mascara" is one of the best I've tried so far. It really helps to make my eyes look bigger!!
Can definitely recommend these two products to any daring lady out there!!

A wonderful soft textured lipstick that glides on easily. The color is perfect especially if you are light skinned as it gives your lips a pinkish tint and shimmer. Its perfect paired with a clear gloss which gives you a very natural look. I would definitely by this color again.

The right shade of Pink is difficult to find for my skin tone. However, this shade was not over powering at all. You will feel ready for spring in no time!
As always, Avon's lipsticks do not disappoint with its moisturizing ingredients and smooth application.
