I purchased this lipstick in the shade called Show Business. Its a really dark red/pink shade that's great for any skin tone.
I find that this lipstick is not only long lasting but is definitely rich in colour pigment. Its perfect for a night out after work and gives you that Marilyn Monroe look!
Ladies I was so fortunate to received 2 Avon Ultra Colour lipsticks in Buttered Run and Red 2000, as part of my Share, Shoot & Win prize.
AVON'S CLAIMS ON THESE LIPSTICKS:
Comfortable wear lipstick with stay-true rich colour.
Pigments reactivate when lips are pursed together for colour that keeps on going.
Reveal your most colour rich lips with new Ultra Colour Lipstick. Infused with natural ingredients, the stay true formula nourishes your lips and provides vibrant colour.
MY THOUHGTS:
1) I really like darker colours on the lips, so the Buttered Rum, which is a dark wine red, and the Red 2000, which is a beautiful darker shade of red, were right up my alley.
2) The lipsticks glide on effortlessly onto the lips and leave them feeling moisturised.
3) No metallic taste or smell that some lipsticks have.
4) In order to get the desired shade on my lips, I had to clad and re-apply, clad & re-apply, about 4 times. One can choose the shade by layering the colour.
5) Without cladding & layering, the lipstick rubs off easily and leaves an unsightly stain on your water glass or cup, so this method worked well for me.
6) Both lipsticks stayed on for about 2 hours before I had to re-apply. It may stay on longer on someone else's lips. I drink water constantly, so am quite hard on my lipsticks and make them work hard too ;-).
7) Normal price is about R89,95, but they are on special from time to time.
FINAL VERDICT: If you are looking for a moisturising lipstick that feels good on your lips with medium staying power, this is the one. LIKE IT, but do not love it.
Ok ladies, here's what's up...
This lipstick feels amazing, as soon as you apply it, you know its not just functioning as a lipstick. It really moisturises your lips and the colour is vibrant.
What I didn't like was the difference in colour, from what I saw in the brochure and the actual product. I chose the Buttered Rum shade, which looked like a rich brown. The actual product has a reddish tone to it.
Great product for dry lips, colour is long lasting as well. I only had to re-apply once during the day.
I am a lucky girl to have received not just one, but to Avon lipsticks as well as a lipliner. No, to be honest....i am more a "lip gloss" girl, but i was pleasantly surprised with the lipstick. I did not make my lips dry at all. AND the best thing is: it has staying power!! Great job AVON!!
First off I would like to say how much I love the simple, yet elegant packaging of this lipstick range, makeup looks good inside and out is always a plus in my books. My first thoughts on the shade was that it was a bit on the pink side for my liking, I usually play it super safe with a variety of nudes. That said I have actually found myself wearing it more then most of my mundane nudes in the past couple weeks. The pink is not garish or kitsch, but rather playful and girly.
The lipstick goes on silky smooth and Avon have managed to absolutely nail the satin finish that I so love in lipsticks. It is well pigmented ensuring your lips do really take on the colour of the lipstick. I did suffer a bit with transfer onto a couple of items of clothing, however I think this may just be down to me being somewhat clumsy.
I received a good many compliments from co-workers who couldn't say enough how nice it was to see me wearing a lipstick with a bit more colour in it. I found it did last for at least half the day before I gave it a top up, so a thumbs up on staying power. Overall a lovely lipstick that really does live up to 'Ultra Rich' standards, this lipstick has definitely inspired me to branch out more in the lip colour spectrum.
I really love this shade of lipstick.It really shines through and it's a perfect colour for spring/summer.
Because it's a shimmery lipstick and also moisturizing it does not stay for long,specially if you are going to use your lips a lot(talking,eating,kissing lol).
Overall I love this product because of the trendy colour!
The two lipsticks that I was lucky enough to try out were "Beyond Pink" and "Silky Peach". The peach colour is quite nude and refreshing and great for daytime wear, and the oink one is bright and vibrant and great for daytime and evening wear. But, I did find the pink lipstick to sort of be much softer on the lips than the peach one
I absolutely love the Avon Lipsticks, the shade Sangria is just life for me, they their smooth and rich texture make them glide with is, they totally complement my skin tone and to add a little more fabulosity I team the shade Sangria with Ultra Glimmerstick from Avon in the shade Pink Boutique. mwah
I love this lipstick because you can very the shades of "brightness" you want for your particular look. Night look you can add alot more onto your lips and the look beautiful and bright but during the day you want to tone it down- dab a little color onto your lips with a clear glass and you have a stunning natural day time look.
Seen in the picture is the Passion Colour lipstick which is the perfect colour for summer 2012.Love this colour and goes great with some glazewear lipgloss.
I have always been an Avon fan and once in a while they have an amazing product hidden, waiting to be discovered. This is one of my favourite lipsticks and competes really well with more expensive lipsticks. It does not easily smear, is moisturizing without smudging and is virtually odourless (which is a major plus point for me).
