Avon Ultra Colour Rich Moisture Seduction Lipstick, Oh Snazzaay!

I'm in utter shock. I cannot believe it has been so long since I posted! But don't worry I'm back and back for good!!! Anywho, I think it's time I got started don't you?

So, today what I have is a sample of Avon's Ultra Colour Rich Moisture Seduction Lipstick. What a mouthfull. Is it worth it? Well,You'll just have to wait and see won't you? 

I have been on the search for decent red lipstick for a while now. I've been into to boots and stores alike on the search for a ruby red lipstick for a decent price (i.e. there was no hope in me paying 30 euro for lipstick), coming out with multi-coloured arms full of swatches. So, when this little guy (or girl, your preference) pooped in through my letterbox I was more than happy to give him a shot. Especially when I saw that the shade name was Red Kiss.

Have I found my HG (Holy Grail) Lipstick??

This new lipstick from Avon promises more than just colour, but that is it is "packed with rich, hydrating ribbons to leave your lips feeling fabulous. Seems legit eh? This comes in twelve shades altogether. Four with a pearl finish: Rose Star, Gold Glitz, Fiery Red and Shimmering Violet. Then there is eight without the pearl finish: Soft Pink, Lilac Shimmer, Rose Ribbons, Red Kiss, Fuchsia Fever, Plum Gorgeous, Smooth Mocha and Nude Perfection.

Packaging wise, I can't really comment on my small little sample but the full size lipstick does not seem to have much excitement. Basic, simple packaging which is the usual for Avon lipsticks, but to be honest at these prices I shouldn't really be expecting too much anyway.

When I swatched this I was dissapointed. This is more of a mixture between hot pink and red, though I must admit I do like the actual colour. I found this quite hard to apply, one because of the size (again though it was a sample so you probably wouldn't have an issue when using the full size and/or a lip brush) and two because this was very very soft.

Er, Maybe not...

When applied, from a distance it actually does look red but then close up you can see the pink in it. What this does remind me of though is Benefit's Benetint - just in stick form.

Moisture wise, I'm feeling no difference to be honest. My lips looked moisturised but I can't really tell if that from me moisturising them or the lipstick. Wear and tear wise this lipstick seems to be wearing well so far and I'm happy. Even after kissing a few pages to see would it all come off, the colour is still strong.

But Hey? It still looks nice!

This shade isn't exactly what I had thought but I love it. If you are a fan of Benetint this would really be a great buy as you get all the colour just in a stick. The colour strength is excellent, the moisture maybe not so much but nevertheless this is a steal at this price and would definitely reccomend! And if you did get this in your letterbox but don't like it, I had great fun drawing with it!!

This is currently half-price retailing at 5.50 euro (Normal Price: 11 euro). Available from your local Avon representitive.
