Avon Moisture Rich Rose Lipstick

Hey guys! Sorry it took me awhile to review this lipstick. I was sick over the weekend and I spent most of the days resting. How are you all doing? I've been pretty excited about this lipstick because I think this is Avon's version of lip butter the way they described it on the brochure. When I hear the word 'butter' being associated with a lip product, I automatically think about the Revlon Lip Butter which I adore so I couldn't let this one pass. The shade I have is in Blushing Bride Rose M13. I've used this for 2 days now and so far I'm liking it. A lot!

The packaging looks the same as the other Avon Color Rich Rose Lipstick except that it has a pink bullet instead of the usual silver (pretty!). I notice that they also now have the brand "Avon" printed on the lipstick like that of L'oreal and I think it looks really cute. I'm pretty excited that this line doesn't come with shimmers and I wish I got another shade :). 

love the pink bullet and the print on the lipstick!

Now let's get down to how I find this product. The shade is a pretty pink that's absolutely perfect for weddings because it's not too pink, has enough shine, and no shimmers! It just gives you a fresh and sexy look. I didn't have high hopes for this lipstick because so far Avon have been pretty consistent with their consistency and formulation so I kind of know what to expect already. However, when I swatched it I was really surprised because it was so creamy and goes on like butter indeed! It has a thinner consistency than a lipstick and more moisturizing. I used it for more than 6 hours and it didn't bleed or feather, and it didn't dry my lips either. To me it looks better after it sets on the lips for a few hours. Just looking at the swatches below you'll know that this lipstick is quality because of the pigmentation and texture. The picture says it all!:D.

I have 2 thin layers on my lips here and yet it looks very opaque. Even if you apply more coats it doesn't feel like you have too much on. There are just 2 things I quite don't like about it. First is the typical lipstick smell which I don't enjoy, and it was a chalky. I was a little uncomfortable on the first few minutes of use but got used to it eventually :). 

Now if you're going to ask me how it compares to Revlon Lip Butter, I'll say they are not close but this one is good on it's league! If I haven't tried the lip butter, I would've loved this so much. Below are some swatches to compare both lip products. The one on top is the Avon Rose Lipstick and the one underneath is Revlon Lip Butter. 

Avon vs Revlon Lip Butter

Looking closely on both swatches you can see how the lip butter has a softer, finer, and silkier finish. It minimizes the lines on my lips and it makes it look younger and healthier. It's more moisturizing, has more shine, and has a sweet scent which is really a huge plus! 

As for the shade, the Blushing Bride Rose is a shade darker than the Sweet Tart, which I would say that is a nice alternative if you can't get your hands on the lip butter. They're both gorgeous shades and I love them separately!

 If you're a fan of Avon lipsticks you will love Rose lipstick more. I have been an Avon lipstick user for awhile now so I can say that this is a must have lip product, and I hope this doesn't get discontinued

My verdict: 4.5STARS!!! I recommend this to all lipstick junkie. This really is a must try :D.

Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Moisture Seduction Lipstick in Nude Perfection

Whew what a long title :). It says "Moisture" twice so you kinda have an idea how moisturizing this lip product is. It's a nude-y peach lip color which to me is just lovely! Avon says it's an ultra-creamy lipstick intertwined with ribbons of hydrating moisture to give you seductively dewy lips. It contains SPF 15 which is plus so the lips is protected from direct sunlight. 

lip color info 

A have quite a few Avon Cosmetics and my favorites are their lipsticks and mascaras. I think they have really good quality. Although in my experience it's love and hate on their lippies. I have tried quite a few already and about 80% of them are hits which is not too bad. I got this shade because I wanted a nude lip color that I can use everyday and for my smokey eye looks, and I've heard good reviews about this line so I thought of giving it a try. 

As you can see on the swatches above, the color is really pretty and dewy that you can wear alone. The shade is a nude-y peach/pink which I really like. This will show up more on fairer skin tones. The product glides on the lips smoothly and it doesn't have an annoying scent or taste so it's a good thing.This actually feels and looks like a tinted lip balm which is like the same concept as Revlon's Lip Butters. Unfortunately lip butters are not yet available in the country but will surely grab one of those once it touches down here :D. 

The pigmentation is alright. It gives enough hint of color on the lips which is the purpose why I got this lipstick. It's sheer, has light coverage, and makes the lips look more natural. 

What I don't like about this lipstick is it doesn't apply evenly. If you look closer there are some bits of lipsticks on my lips which I don't like looking at. It's not too buildable because once you layer a lot more product, it looks cakey. You may swatch it twice or thrice to add more color without looking like you have too much. Staying power is weak because after an hour and a half it looked like I had nothing on but glitters. I think I would have liked it more if it didn't have shimmers. 

Overall this lipstick is above average. It's another love and hate lipstick. I can live without it but I'm still glad I tried it. I wish they have a good cream lipstick without shimmers. I haven't tried their mineral lipstick yet and I wonder how good is that one. If you own one, please do let me know what you think of it  :).

My verdict: 3 STARS!!!
