Advantages: Shiny, long lasting, great coverage..low price

Disadvantages: shades in brochure are deceiving, older formula drying on lips

When i was flipping through my friends Avon brochure, i came across these little gems. I was tempted due to the promise of a lip colour that has the coverage of a lipstick, with the shininess of a gloss, as well as being a long lasting formulation. I was even more tempted by the price, $6 a pop, so naturally i had to give in. I purchased two different shades, dazzling pink, and blushing. I then waited for the glosses to come in with much anticipation.

I received the lip shades in no time, and was slightly disappointed with the blushing shade which was much darker than the brochure makes it seem. Beware when ordering from the brochure, that many of the shades are darker than they look. If you prefer lighter shades, then stick to ones that look quite pale in the brochure. I tried on the dazzling pink shade first, and was very pleased. The shade was like a rosy pink colour and was very flattering on my newly tanned skin (medium/tan complexion).

The lip colour did cover like a lipstick which was great for coverage purposes but was also quite drying on the lips. The texture was very smooth and silky, rather than sticky like conventional glosses. I was very happy with the texture, as well as the lasting power of the gloss. I did have to reapply every few hours but nothing in comparison to my other lip shades which barely last an hour. I didn't like the drying effects of the lip colour, but the smooth texture was nice. Since i purchased these lip colours, Avon has come out with a new moisturizing formula with vitamins A, C and E, which would probably prevent the drying effect that i encountered.

Regular Shades:
Berry Cool
Blushing
Brown Sugar
Buttered Rum
Chic Mauve
Chocolate Fling
Clear
Crimson
Darling Pink

I was very impressed with these lip shades in general. I recommend going for lighter shades in the brochure, because they are generally darker when you receive them. These are definitely worth a try, especially at $6 each.

Summary: Overall Terrific Product..great price and quality
