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).

Sexy Pink Lippy!
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.

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.

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.

Firstly, I would love to say thank you to BB and Avon for giving me this wonderful opportunity to review the Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in Chic and Sangria, as well as the Glimmerstick Lipliner in Mauve. I will do my utmost best to give a fair and honest review. This is a sort of 3 in 1 reviews, So here goes...
I'm not a lipstick girl. At all. Sure I love the odd intense red lip or shocking Fuschia to add a pop of colour for a night out on the town, something only a good quality lipstick can provide. I tend to stick to tinted and sheer lip glosses and have have never purchased a lipliner in my life. So you are probably wondering why I do not like lipstick:
* My lips are left dry after lipstick has worn off (even the really moisturising ones)
* I find it a pain to apply straight from the tube (A lip brush is often needed for precise application)
* It comes off way to quickly meaning I constantly need to reapply and if I don't, my lips will look washed out
* Long wear lipsticks often feels tight on my lips, cracks and is a nightmare to remove while leaving the top layer of my skin in tact.
So now that you know why I don't like lipstick, here are my findings on Avon Color Rich Lipstick (This is me being open minded, honest and fair)...
The Packaging / Visual appearnace:
I love the packaging The casing is a sleek black, elongated square tube with a clear Perspex cover on top which allows one to peek at the color - I think is huge plus as it gives you the opportunity to see the actual color before purchasing. This is completed with a classic silver trim upon which the iconic AVON logo is embossed. One opened and wound up, there is an AVON logo embossed on the lipstick which I think is really cute and a really great personal touch from AVON. Over all, 5/5 for the visually appealing packaging.
My prep before application:
I wanted to experience the full effect of this lipstick, so in order to do that I needed to prep my lips. I exfoliated and primed to ensure a smooth base, I then proceeded to apply the lipstick in 'Chic' (straight from the tube without the help of a lip brush) and then finished off with my Glimmerstick Lip Liner in Mauve which complemented the color Chic beautifully! I then corrected any smudges or uneven lines.
My findings:
I would like to start off with the formula. I think its absolutely awesome! I think this is by far the most creamy textured lipstick I have ever used (I may not like lipstick, but I have tried quite a few in my quest to find a good one)! Its an absolute joy to apply as the stick feels soft against my lips and the color just glides on with out fuss. The formula is really high pigmented so I see the color coming through from the first application. I applied 2 coats to achieve that intense rosy pink color as it really suited my complexion well!
The Lipstick has a really nice subtle aroma (very slight and nothing over whelming), I can't quite place my finger on what it resembles, but non the less, a very pleasing smell. My lips looked nice and dewy which I really like.
The Glimmerstick Lip Liner is a real gem! I have naturally full lips, so never quite saw the need to wear a lip liner, but what a visual difference it makes!! It gives my lips that extra volume and sort of rounds out the color really nicely and enhances it to the full! I love the fact that it has a slender wind up as this keeps the tip pointy ensuring precision with each application!
The end result (findings for the duration of the wear):
I had a total wear of about 1hr30mins with either lipstick. In this time, I found that the lipstick moisturised my lips very well, even after the color faded, my lips were left soft and supple. The lipstick is very light weight, so It really was pleasure to wear and my lips felt hydrated, so I wasn't even conscious that I had lipstick on, my lips felt as if they were able to 'breathe'. The lipstick it self comes off way to quickly and transfers easily onto anything and everything that may touch your lips (accidentally or intended) - I found this hugely annoying. I had a packet of jelly babies and by the end of that, all that was left of my beautiful lip color was the lip liner out line. This told me a) I would constantly need to reapply this lipstick if I intended to wear the shade for long periods of time, b) The formula does not stain my lips c) The lip liner itself is durable and long lasting without drying out the lips.
So My very last and final thoughts??? Would I start to wear lipstick on a more regular basis? Definitely not. I think that this new Lipstick from AVON is definitely of a really good quality with high moisturising/pigment factors that allows lips to breathe, it just doesnt stay on long enough to really leave me with a lasting impression. I love to kiss my husband/baby, but would think twice about doing so when wearing this lipstick. So i guess it would be purely for show, but not really functionality.
I'm a little disappointed with it, and would not purchase this on a normal basis. I have how ever learnt the importance of a good lip liner should I ever one day be a lipstick convert, and I definitely would make AVON Glimmerstick my go to in this department :)

1st pic is of just receiving my goodies, second is of them opened up and on proud display, 3rd is of my first application of Chic finished off with Avon Glimmerstick Lip liner in Mauve. 4th pic is after me having a packet of mini jelly babies.
I'm still thinking on how to do my video review for this, once I have it figured out, look out for it :)

If you don't already know, I am not a fan of lip products, especially lipstick. If I had to choose a lip product to wear, it would definitely be Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain. I do have a few lipsticks though and most have not been used (reviews coming soon). Like this little item, that has been stored away for a very long time and I admit to never have putting it to use, until my latest ombre lip tutorial. I have it in the shade, Oxford Wine. I really like the name, there is a degree of sophistication to it, much like the general appearance of this product. The lipstick comes in a sleek and attractive casing that is suitable for both work and everyday use. It is attractive and modern with its glossy black and silver finish. As you can see in the picture, this lipstick looks like a dark shade of purple, which is probably what put me off - I wasn't so keen on having purple lips. But after applying it, I noticed that it was more of a rich, indulgent pink with a rose' wine hue to it. I have to say that this lipstick is great at nourishing and moisturizing your lips and you can feel the effects for a short while after application. It is a thick creamy texture, a little too thick for my liking, so I prefer applying it with a lip brush. I find that it is not the most long lasting lipstick, so reapplying throughout the day would be necessary, but I wouldn't really complain as I believe the formula contains omega 3 oil and Vitamin E - essential for those soft, luscious lips! Overall, I wouldn't necessarily pay R130 for this, or any lipstick in particular, but that is because of my personal likes and dislikes. I do appreciate this shade and will most definitely be putting it to use, more often. I like that the lipstick is a smooth texture and doesn't create that thick, sticky barrier that puts me off all lip products.
