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!!!!!

When I heard I was chosen to be a part of the review group for the Avon Big & Daring Volume Mascara and the Avon Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick! I could'nt wait to receive and try the products.
The more anxious I was the longer the products took to arrive - I later found out, that the post office are on strike - go figure!!
Nevertheless, when I did receive the products, I open my package immdiately and used my lipstick as soon as I got into the car!!.
My daughter noticed the colour immediately and commented "Mum your lipstick is so dark - but it looks kinda nice and different" so I knew that I had achieved what AVON had intended to do with this lipstick range.
I loved my colour - MAX MOCHA. Daring for me definitely, but I ended up wearing to 2 functions over the weekend. The lipstick has a matt finish and perhaps because the colour is so dark, it had staying power, It goes on easily and does not feel dry on the lips, like some matte lipsticks feel.
The Big & Daring Volume Mascara which I received in Black, I absolutely LOVED!!!. I love what I call "Minnie mouse" lashes. Ultra long and thick, so I loved the length and volume this mascara gave my lashes. I also liked the fact that it did not irritate my sensitive eyes and it's a lovely liquidy mascara and not the dryish one. The curved brush is also nice to use as it contours with the curvature of the eyelash - Gosh I hope I'm explaining myself properly.

Goes on smoothly, lotsa moisture and not too much shine. The colour is coral burst but it was more reddish on my lips probably due to my skin tone. But I am going to try other colours

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 Must admit ladies, I was blown away by the packaging when it arrived! Black and cerise! I thought - "Ok, - this is going to be fabulous." I suppose it was my own mistake in saying I prefered neutral shades. I have a tendency to be very careful about my make-up as they say the older you get, less is more. I rely on long black mascara and some lip definition having very pale skin.
Regarding mascara, I am particularly picky about the type of mascara I use, it must be ultra Black ( with a capital B) and a straight wand. I tried the curved wand after dipping it a few times and a) was not particularly good at using it and b) was diasppointed in the amount of volume and length achieved. There are a lot of good mascaras out there in the market that are relatively inexpensive and let me add the price of 'Big and Daring Mascara' at R 69.95 is cheap, but, it does not comply with its "big and daring" brand statement.
Onto the lipstick. Thankfully, it was in a shade I would wear anywhere as it was entitled "Ultra Colour Bold lipstick Avon Bare Impact". The price once again of R69.95 is inexpensive. I applied it and it was a smooth mouth matt surface. Staying power-very limited. I like the shade and will definately re-buy it but one definately requires the use of a lip liner in a similar taupe line colouring for definition. To be honest I don't think I was Daring in to least, to my own detriment. The brief was to go as OTT as possible while I opted for safe. And safe and boring is exactly what I got. It is also one of the main reasons I like to go into a shop and see make-up. Avon, has been know as a skin brand in the UK for years - sold in the concept of 'tupperware' parties - much like Annique, Justine and Avroy Shlain. As usual the skin products are good but the make -up, as an add on, leaves little to be desired. I was also put off by looking at repeat shades in the booklet being defined by a colour blob. So once your shade is out of fashion, you have to match it up to a line of colour. As always I appreciate the ability to try new products and I would like to thank Beauty Bulletin for the opportunity. In a similar light one should be as realistic in appraisal as possible.

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 was lucky enough to be chosen to review Avon's new Ultra Colour Bold lipstick and Big and Daring volume mascara. I received the mascara in black and the lipstick in Ruby Shock.
The Big and Daring volume mascara gave me wonderful volume. I was a bit deterred by the size of the brush when I opened it, but the curve of the brush made for an easy application and got every lash. The mascara still looked good at the end of the day and didn't smudge or flake. I am a mascara addict and this one is definitely going on my list of favorites. The lipstick was long lasting as well. The colour is so vibrant and I only had to touch up after lunch.The lipstick didn't cause any dryness for me, which is a big bonus. I would love to try this lipstick in the Vivid Violet shade.

Thank you Beauty Bulletin and Avon!! I was one of the lucky recipients to receive the Avon Dare To Be Bold Mascara and Lipstick. I would normally go for the "not too much make -up" look (I am 55 years old)so I tend not to overdo. I thought I'll give the bold look a try and was quite impressed with the results. Great for and evening out. I have used Avon products before and will definitely continue to do so. I was also impressed that the prices are also quite reasonable compared to other products. Avon Rocks!!

I received the avon Avon Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick :Berry Bold as well as the Big and Daring Volume Mascara in Brown Black and i was extremely impressed. The berry bold had a beautiful almost red like colour and is perfect for the entry of spring - bold new blooms, bold new ME! It has a really long lasting formula and doesn't bleed out as the day goes by. The mascara is amazing,it made my lashes look 4 times its actual lenght as my normal lashes are extremely short and sparse. It made me feel extremely sexy and had immediately taken pictures to show all my friends.

The boldometer hasn't got nothing on me. I rock bold anytime, anyplace and anyhow. Berry bold is just too perfect for me. This is not a dash of colour but a splash and I'm loving it. A great way to start the Spring season. Well my boldiness has sprung out and I dare you to stop me because I'm unstoppable. My Spring love has got to be the berry bold lipstick from Avon, infact it's my love for all seasons? Besides the colour I love that the lipstick has a shine to it. It sits perfectly on my lips. Perfect for daytime or nighttime. I dare you to be bold and get the Berry bold Avon Ultra colour lipstick.

Name: Avon Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick
Shade: RUBY SHOCK Z020614
Price: R69.95
Packaging:
This Amazing bold lipstick came in an about 8.5cm by 2cm rectangular hot pink and black box. The box has ingredients , the colour name and number/code of the lipstick written in both white and hot pink.
The actual lipstick packaging is black, shiny and smooth 7cm rectangular case. Between the lid and the lipstick holder is a sliver band written AVON. The lid also has a clear/see through cap on the top where you can see the lipstick colour. When you open the lid you'll find that the lipstick is covered in a silver shiny case which is just beautiful. The case winds up like all lipstick cases. The lipstick is a Ruby Red colour and the stick is about 3cm long and about 1cm wide and has AVON written on it.
Texture/Scent:
The Lipstick just glides on my lips effortlessly. It is very smooth and has a cherry sherbet smell to it.
Advantages:
*It is a BOLD lip colour
*Last Long so there is no nee to keep re-applying
*One Coat is enough to get the bold look
*It doesn't smudge which is just AMAZING. Once it's on it's on to stay. It almost stains the lips.
*Easy to remove
Disadvantages:
Well I haven't found any so far. Have only worn it twice as I have just received it and it's just been THAT AMAZING.
Tips:
With a bold lip colour make sure that the rest of you make up is simple almost natural as the colour speaks for it's self. You don't wana look like a clown now.
Comments:
I am just in love with this lip colour. It is THE BEST RED EVER! It looks AMAZING on my lips and is just the PERFECT colour for my skin tone. I mean I wana wear it all day everyday even in my sleep. Yes, in my sleep it is just that amazing. I didn't think I would like it until I put it on and I would just recommend it to anyone who loves a GOO RED LIP. On the BOLDOMETER I rate I'm on level 10 on being bold #AvonDareToBe we've gotta risk it at times :)
It is easy to remove and doesn't leave any lipstick stains on you lips after you removed it. It doesn't have a shiny look once you put it on which I love. It is like a dry look (matte). When I have it on I just feel like I am movie star or a Cover Girl haha. But overall I LOVE it and I am sure you will love it too.
Look out for my video on how I applied the Avon BOLD lip colour *Coming Soon*

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 :)

Yay...I got to review the Avon Big & Daring Volume Mascara and the Ultra colour Bold lipstick. The price of both these items is wonderful. The mascara for this month costs R64. 95 and the lipsticks are 2 for R120...really cheap.
The mascara doesn't feel thick and doesn't clump on application. It did however smudge when applied, but that could be because I'm not used to the brush. I did find the brush and container too big, though it did deliver on its promise of volume.
The lipstick colour that I received was Bright Nectar and it just didn't suit me. I did like the feel of it. It moisturised my lips and it also delivered lots of colour in 1 application. At this price I will definitely buy it in colours more suited to my skin colour.

I have very sensitive eyes and are always careful what I use on my eyes, as some products tend to have a burning effect in my eyes. Not with Avon though - you can be certain that it would give you burning eyes. The brush of the Mascara is very unique and cover every single hair without clotting it. With most of the mascara's that I've tried before, there is always a bit of smearing at the end of the day. So I was very surprised that this one doesn't do that and at the end of the day, my eyelashes still look beautiful without the black mascara ring under my eyes. Overall I would say that this mascara is the best mascara on the market, and everybody should try it, because then you will use it for ever! This mascara is everything I've wanted from a mascara and more!

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

Last week got a mail and guess what I ran to the post office like the was no tomorrow and I wasn't disappointed in what I got.Got two items but now im all about the Lipstick fever. Im reviewing the Avon Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick and my colour is Max Mocha. Im in love with the colour is dark chocolate and the second you apply it you can see the drastic change on your face. You lips stand out and no more forced pouting. Im stopping traffics with my Bold Lipstick and it's smooth and voluptuous on your lips. It sells itself I think from last Friday till today I made few referrals to the Avon website page to some ladies who were envied by my bold lipstick. Spring could not have happened at a better time.#DareToBeBold with Avon & win a trip to New York #AvonDareToBe that's the other fun part the is also a competition happening and the prize is every girl's dream trip to New York. Im taking selfies as if they going out of fashion. ..

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!!

I was 1 of the lucky ladies that were chosen to review #AvonDareToBe bold products. Big & Daring Mascara & lipstick!whoop I was so excited. my experience with these 2 products is: I was never a fan of a mascara because of my lashes they are so curly, and every time I try 2 put it on its always get messy,so I was very excited about this new mascara from Avon. Guess what it works perfectly on my terrible lashes now they look much,much better this mascara its hours volume with no clumps,flakes or smudges.Curved brush with multi-shaped bristle captures ever lash.wedge shaped bristle comb lashes for clump-free volume,it gives a mega volume.innorative collagen -enriched cream-gel formula is smooth & buildable,water-resistant the curved brush separates yr fringe combs through them declump & fills in a gaps 4 a lust-lash landscape.thumbs up Avon yr mascara is the Bomb. The lipstick I got it was max mocha(dark brown) not the colour I would choose but being bold isn't just about bright,I had to get out in my comfort zone & try the new neutral trend, barely there sophisticated shades capture the minimalist look of modern glamour. I believe that being bold isn't just about makeup shade, its about an attitude, so I jazzed it up , I put mac mocha 1st, then on top red lipstick also from Avon.50% more pigments packed in every lipstick.I bought 2 lipsticks 4 R120!!thumbs up Avon yr products are very good & thanks BB for the opportunity!!

I was chosen to be part of the Avon Product Review Club, and I received my Avon goodies in the mail yesterday and let me just say, wow, im super excited about it.
I received both the Avon Ultra Colour Lipstick aswell as the Avon Big and Daring volume Mascara.
I'll start of with the lipstick as any girl knows, the start to a good day is just a swipe of lipstick away. I got mine in the shade ruby shock, a beautiful colour. Its quite pigmented so I only needed to apply a few swipes and I was good to go. Its very moisturising and it doesn't leave my lips feeling dry or sticky. I also really like the look of the product, its simple and clean yet pretty.
Next, we move on to the mascara. I got mine in the colour brown/black. I love that the wand is curved as it really help with application and to get to each and every lash. I like the consistency of the liquid, its not too dry, clumpy or sticky so it doesn't feel like you have too much product on your lashes or that they are sticking together. It gives a really nice length and quite abit of volume but I, however, do prefer to add two coats of it as it just makes it more noticeable.
Im really impressed with these two products and....
You know what they say, we are called to be bold, and these two products have given me that confidence I need to step out of my comfort zone and be bold...and be bright!
So thank you BB!

I was one of the lucky ladies to be part of the Avon dare to be review club.
The first product I received was the Avon Ultra Colour in Starburst pink. I must say this is a fabulous colour. However, it is a very bright shocking pink and clashed a little with my bright red hair. But there was an easy solution for this. I mean, I couldn't let a perfectly good lipstick go to waste. I've just added another thin layer of my Revlon colourburst lipstick and blended the two colors. Just to enhance the colour from shocking pink to a less brighter colour and I must say I loved the effect. I didn't wanted to take away from my fabulous Starburst pink lipstick, so I just added a tiny bit of the second colour.The lipstick is fabulous and is matte which I love. It also lasts quite a while.
The second product I received was the Avon Big & daring volume Mascara in Brown & black. I simply loved this product. The mascara is not sticky or blotchy at all. I also love the curved shape of the brush which makes it easy to apply.
I haven't tried any Avon products before but I must say I am impressed. I would definitely recommend these products, especially the Mascara which was my favourite.

I got mine in the shades "berry bold" and "ruby shock". I absolutely love the creamy texture of this lipstick as well as the vibrant color. I just need one swipe of it because it is that pigmented. It feels nice and smooth on my lips and had a pleasant and subtle scent. I especially love the shade "ruby shock" . On my lips it looks rich and intense and so sensual! This is quite long lasting and affordable, another winner from Avon!

I was super excited when I got chosen to do a review for Avon's new lipstick and lipglosses, and even more excited when I saw both the colors for the lipstick and lipgloss I got is pink! (yay! :D) Now for my second review, this time on the lipstick. The shade I got was Pink Renewal, it looks super natural on your lips,the color is just enough to not look as if you have lipstick on, but it makes your lips look much pinker and healthy. When applying it, it feels soft on my lips, and has a moisturizing effect,but does get a bit dry later on. The color stays on pretty long, but it's best to reapply after a hour or so. All in all, I love the color and the feeling on my lips and it's perfect for daily wear. I will recommend it to everyone, especially if you prefer the natural look, like me.

Avon launched their new absolute color range and in this months booklet for just R180 for both the gloss and lipstick it is a real steal. I purchased a couple of samples in the previous booklet here is my thoughts on the Coffee bean one;
The coffee bean is a light brown color which is suitable for daytime wear. It is perfect for the office or a lunch time date.
This is my absolute favorite lipstick. It goes on smooth and makes my lips feel soft and moisturized. It has a shine, so you don't need gloss. I still use gloss of course, as I like the extra shine. This lipstick is definitely worth it.
It lasts also pretty good for a non permanent lipstick.

I love this whole line of lipsticks.
Beyond Pink it's a beautiful summery colour that gives you a youthful and sassy look.
I was reading about make up and the amount of chemicals different brands of make up use that can affect our body negatively and AVON lipsticks were listed as one of the safest in the whole world.
Great quality for an affordable price.That's AVON for you!

Avon's New technology has simply made their lipsticks a huge hit. Their range offers lipsticks in richer vibrant colours to cater for women that are bold and for those subtle colours.
Their ingredients are all natural using shea butter,omega oil, artic berry and Vitamin E to simply nourish your lips and keeping the colour in for longer.
The lipstick feels so smooth and easily softens my lips.
The packaging I think is great as it comes in a black tube with a clear view window on top so you are able to see the colour of the lipstick. So there is no need to waste your money on a colour you think it and ends up a totally different shade.

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.

Well firstly let me say - I'm not quite sure if BB reads our survey comments before sending out product - or if I said something that misguided them in their selection for Avon colours... I am almost sure I said I wear nude/ natural shades of lip GLOSS... So when I recieved 2 very bright red shades of lip STICK with a "true red" ultra glimmerstick lip liner, I was a little disappointed... To be fair this isn't Avon's fault - so I decided to try use the products in order to give a fair review... So let me separate the criteria into 1. actual product & 2. colour.
The product is a nice rich formula, your lips feel moisturised and soft, had it been a lighted natural colour I may have worn it.
The colours - WOW when my husband got home he was shocked and asked why I was messing around, was I going to a fancy dress party... The bright colour is not something I ever wear, I personally don't feel comfortable with it.
I also find that the colour stains your lips, maybe that's a good thing if you like the dark shades, but for me I couldn't wipe it off...
It also isn't colour stay - if you are going to wear such bright dark colours I think a colour stay formula would be better to avoid rubbing off & staining things.
Sorry Avon, this isn't for me... But If anyone loves a very bright red, I recommend these 2 colours for them...
