Steal That Avon Deal!

I must ask you girls, who makes the best cheap affordable lipsticks?

Maybelline? Rimmel? Loreal? (Is Loreal that cheap?) Kate? Majolica Majorca (I know of glosses, but lipsticks?)

In my opinion, nothing beats Avon, for now at least. I am being very honest right here. So far, all my lippies from Avon has been nothing but fantastic! Be it the Cynthia Rowley ones, or the Ultra Moisturizing ones (oops! haven’t review them!) or the ones I will be reviewing right now!

Avon Glazewear Lipstick

I love the sleek and polish packaging, although fingerprints are sure to be everywhere on it! Haha! It gives such a classy feel to it, don’t you think? A plus point already for pretty (though not very practical) packaging!

Here’s what Avon promised about this lipstick.

Get the colour of a lipstick with the shine of a gloss! Avon’s revolutionary lipstick combines the shine of a lipgloss with the luscious colour of a lipstick. This lightweight formula glides on effortlessly for full, glossy colour that feels incredible on lips. No sticky feel, just smooth, silky lips.

How many yays or nays?

Shine of a gloss – yay!
Luscious colour of a lipstick – nay
Lightweight formula – yay!
Full, glossy colour – yay and nay, in between.
No sticky feel – yay!
Smooth, silky lips – yay!

It does everything except number 2. The colour is pretty sheer. Maybe I have pigmented lips, so it doesn’t show. But even swatching on my hand, the colours are pretty light. My camera couldn’t catch the colours no matter how I tweak the setting >_<, and that also I have layer the colours 3 times each just for the swatches. Sigh.

However, other than that, everything’s lovely!

I bought 3 colours out of the 5 or 6 colours they have. It was so hard to choose! I settled for these 3. Coral Goddess may look orange or coral tone like, but when swatched and on lips, it’s a peach pink colour. Rhinestone Rose is a cool rose pink colour, while Pink Diamond is a lighter version of Coral Goddess. No shimmer, but it just goes on glossy. I quite like it. In fact, it reminds me of Revlon’s Super Lustrous Shiny Sheers (I love them! totally!)

And what draw me to buying this? The price!

Selling at RM12 till 15th May, it’s a steal! Go grab it! But even if you miss the sales, the price isn’t horribly high, I think it’s around rm20 or so. For a nice lippie, I don’t mind purchasing at a slightly higher price.

Now, should I get the other colours?
