Advantages: It certainly comes out of the tube quickly

Disadvantages: It is very cheap and tacky, it doesn't really have much effect either

I was a little disappointed with Lip Radiance from Avon and actually decided to return it to Avon for credit I thought it was that poor.

I purchased this item believing it was a shimmering lip colour gloss which would be great for parties over the festive season. The brochure states that it can be used alone or over your favourite lip colour so I ordered the Rose Foil shade (Silver Foil and Gold Foil also available) believing it would be fine worn alone.

Unfortunately it was little more than a tube of runny lip gloss with a little bit of colour and glitter mixed in. Yes it did have a slight "yummy vanilla taste" as promised but at my age I am not really terribly concerned with how my lip gloss tastes as I tend not to eat it regularly.

This costs £6 for a cheap plastic tube of childish lip gloss and I think it is too much for something very poor in quality and concept. If there was a £3 version of this in the Color Trend section aimed at teenagers then I would probably be giving this five stars. But it is aimed at fully grown adults for £6 a time and for that I have to give it two stars for being so cheap and tacky.

Summary: I don't recommend this for anyone over 17 years of age.
