[Review] Avon Ultracolour Lipstick in Berry Berry Nice

Hi there lovelies, 
 

Here is a quick review on one of Avon's lipstick from their Ultracolour line~
They have a lot of lines...

I'm gonna keep it K.I.S.S.  


 
 
Well this one is called Berry Berry Nice which is a nice berry red shade.

Pigmentation


Wrist swatch





Oh really good~~
Even at 1 swipe, the colour is similar after 3 swipes so it doesn't do the colour build up thing but since the pigrmentation is this good it leaves a stain on the lips.

Lasting Power

It lasts for quite a time on the lips if you have minimal eating and drinking. It won't last you the whole day nor will it last after a hot/ oily meal or your lunch. As I said earlier, it did leave a stain after I eat but that stain goes away after some time as well.
In other words, you might need to pop it out again after eating....stuff, which I don't mind :3  lewl

Fragrance

It has the signature Avon lipstick smell. You won't smell it when you put it on, it's only when you actually go and have a sniff at it (As in bring your nose really close to the lipstick whilst trying not to stab your nose with it).

So if you don't want a red in your face colour but a dark(ish) red then this will be good you.
Here is how I like to use it :)


p.s I'm sorry I don't remember the price. Avon usually have sales (a lot) so you can hop over to your nearest Avon shop or ask your local Avon ambassador. 

Thanks for reading :)xx
(I've been awol, but it's sem break and I'm out and about!)

[Review] Avon Totally Kissable Lipstick in Lacy Mauve

Hye there lovelies...yet another week have passed and so another lippie post for y'all. :)

The chosen lipstick for today is Avon's very own Totally Kissable Lipstick in Lacy Mauve.






It comes in a beautiful mirror-like bullet case. It closes with a nice "click" but somehow, you can still rotate the top. lol
It doesn't come off though, don't worry :)




I like how this picture turned out :)


Pigmentation

It looks kinda like a dark berry red but it doesn't show as that dark on my lips. However, I did notice that it becomes darker as I reapply.

I guess the more layers you put, the darker the colour gets. In the picture above, I actually forgot how many swipes I did so I just put more than 1. By habit, I think I may have applied 2 or 3 times..max. haha..forgive my forgetfulness.

Lip Swatch


Bare Lips

One layer of Lacy Mauve


Ingredients



The bullet was covered with the ingredient list. Usually, I would be so reckless that I wouldn't know how to open it properly. But at this time, I had the decency to use a pen knife. lol



I hope you can see that :3


Fragrance



The usual Avon toffee smell I think (or my brain is accustomed to relate Avon lipsticks to their signature toffee smell)

Staying Power 

Quite well I think. 3-4 hours. This does stain your lips which is a plus for me. You might need to touchup after eating or drinking.



Price


RM 20~25 plus minus. Even lower if you get it on sale. You can get it from your nearest Avon outlet or through an Avon representative. I got mine for around 18.


That's it. Thanks for reading :))

[Review] Avon Simply Pretty Love Pop Lipstick in Strawberry and Extralasting Lipstick in Sun Kissed Ginger





Avon had some really good sales going on and some products were practically calling my name. So the best thing to do is answer the call and bring them home with me.

I bought two lipsticks. Simply Pretty Pop Love Lipstick in Strawberry and Extralasting in Sun-Kissed Ginger.







Strawberry is a nice red lipstick
Sun-Kissed Ginger is a true coral (I may have found my perfect coral :))

I don't have an arm swatch for Sun-kissed ginger but I do have one for Strawberry. (I think Berry girls would love this colour)

A beautiful red isn't it :) 

The tube is a pretty colour and cute to bring around. Doesn't look very high end but it goes in my cute list :)





Lip Swatches. (I try to take these in good lighting)
I used my phone.

 Strawberry


Sun-Kissed Ginger






A selca with sun kissed ginger

Fragrance : Strawberry; has a nice strawberry smell that I like. The reason I buy loads of strawberry flavoured lip balms.
Sun-Kissed Ginger; has the typical Avon toffee smell.


Pigmentation : Strawberry is very pigmented. One swipe is good enough. It's so dark it will stain your lips afterwards whereas Sun-kissed ginger is quite sheer and even if you apply a lot of layers it will stay true to its colour.

Staying Power : Strawberry will stay for quite some time whereas sun kissed ginger will disappear together with your food but it will survive through a drink. I don't mind reapplying because it's such a lovely colour.

Price : If you're lucky, you can find them on sale from your local Avon ambassador. In East Malaysia, strawberry costs about RM 5.65 per tube and sun-kissed ginger would be RM 7+- per tube. They usually go on a "buy 2 for" price.

This is the end of this post and I hope you guys enjoy reading this lovelies :)
Cheers xx

[Review] Avon Extralasting Lipstick in Pink Peach

This is going to be a mini review. :)

Decided to get one after I saw that Vibrant Coral was really pretty. It was on sale at RM 9.00 so it was a steal.

  Avon Extralasting Lipstick in Pink Peach
 
I was contemplating on whether to get Pink Peach or Vintage Pink. The sister at the counter said pink peach would look good on me (since they don't have any tester at the time) so I got pink peach (you gotta believe what the sister behind the counter tells ya) XD

Honestly, the colour didn't dissapointed me but the wear did. Claimed to last 8 hours, it really don't. Maybe if you don't eat then it might last you a good 3-4 hours but if you do, then the colour would just go away. :/ 

       
                    Arm swatch

The pigment was quite good and the colour is beautiful. :) 

       
         On ma lips~ 💋 (1 swipe) 

Thanks for reading lovelies

[Review] Avon Super Drama Waterproof Mascara in SD22 Brown Black

If I guess properly, this is my first mascara review. I've never done any before because I don't know how to take a picture of le eyes. 

So forgive me but here goes nothing. :) 

      Avon Super Drama Waterproof Mascara

     
My normal lashes (bare face >__<)

     
After mascara application(with makeup) 

     
Yea..another one. Why not. Haha
(Still can't take good eye picture) 

This mascara did live up to my expextation as it gave my lashes volume and length (however, I can't make it too long because it would brush against my lens) so I do a zigzag style but don't finish it. 

I don't have a problem with clumping because I use a tip I got from Gossmakeup to wipe the wand through a tissue to remove excess mascara. I don't find this a problem because your mascara can only last 3 months after opened. :3 
Normal wand style. 

It is waterproof but I did find some residue after I wash my face but can be easily remove. I don't reapply my mascara because I don't see a need for it but I don't see a problem if you want to. :) 

It comes in 2 shades. Black (I think) and Brown Black. I prefer brown black becaus it will look much more natural. 


Well, in a nutshell. This mascara did lived up to my expectation but if given a choice I would still prefer the one from Maybelline. 

My finish look that day :)


P.S. Just in case. Here's my makeup list for those pictures :)
-Sephora Primer (got it as a free gift...came with eye glitter too) 
-Mac studio finish concealer in NW30
-Loreal nude magique cc cream in anti-dullness
-Natural Collection loose powder in Neutral Transluscent 
-Rimmel Stay Blushed Liquid Cheek Tint in 001 Pop of Pink 
-Silkygirl big eye 2-in-1 eyeliner in 02 Brown Milk
-Avon mascara
-Rimmel apocalips in 101 Celestial
-Etude House eyelash curler
-Rimmel brow pencil in 004 Black Brown (accidentally forgot to take a picture of this) teehee 

Thanks for reading you lovelies :) 
Cheers XX

[Review] Simply Pretty Colorlast Lipstick in Peachy Pink, SweetStrawberry, Celebrity Red and Constant Pink.



Hello~ 

So..I haven't been active for some time but long story short, I just became an Avon dealer with the id card and all that. 

It's been so long since I've used avon products so it was quite exciting to flip through the book again. One particular thing that caught my eye was a lipstick ( oh yes) that they claim to be transfer proof. The name is Simply Pretty Colorlast Lipstick.  I really like that term so I wanted to try it since it's on sale. 

I tried one, tested it's transfer resistant claim and amazingly..it actually works!! The joy~~ So I got a few more shades before the sale ends. The shades that I got was Sweet Strawberry, Celebrity Red, Peachy Pink and Constant Pink (new addition)

Figure 1: *Peachy Pink*

Lip Swatch

- I actually think it's frosty because it has this sort of frost look to it but it has a pretty colour. The least pigmented of them. 

Figure 2: *Celebrity Red

Lip Swatch

- Reddish orange colour. The one that I like most because it just lights up the face :)

**Figure 3: *Sweet Strawberry* 
** Too bad I don't have this picture anymore nor can I take another one because I gave it to my sister already. She likes these type colour. 

- Dark red almost going to purple colour. Almost burgundy one would say. 

Figure 4: *Constant Pink*

This is my newest addition and I actually carry this tube everywhere for touch ups. A very pretty deep pink colour. 

Arm Swatch

*the names might be different in different places because I found it very hard to look for reviews on these colours* 

The tube. (It's really light) 
This is how product you get :)

~Ingredients
- on the plastic cover (threw it away)

~Fragrance
- there's a hint of fragrance but it's not that overpowering. 

~Pigmentation
- it's very pigmented and gives you good colour payoff. 

~Type
- creamy matte though I think Peachy pink feels a bit like semi matte. 

~Staying Power
- very good. Around 4-6 hours without consumption of greasy food. 
- transfer resistant? Yes yes yes. ^^
- A way that I found useful is after application, you blot and then reapply then blot again to remove excess product and it will be transfer resistant. Hope this trick works for you too ;) 

~Price
- on sale for around RM 12 but it changes according to the campaign so you gotta check with your Avon store or dealer. 

~Amount
- 2g

~Overall
- this product had exceeded my expectation. Am thinking of getting the peach "Mauve Delight" colour during the next campaign. :) hehe

*Looking forward to more Avon stuff~~ :3 

Hope you guys found the review helpful and Thanks for reading~ ^^
Cheers xx
