I recently purchased the sample size of the “rapid rose” a very pink shade. I’m not of a deeper skin tone so the colour on a fair skinned person is quite rich if applied normally, but quite subtle if applied lightly. I find that I dont like the texture/feeling it leaves, i thought it was a little drying so i applied a gloss with the lipstick.

I tested this product out recently and love the following things about it: 1. The price! 2. The texture. It feels smooth with a glossy touch. 3. The look of the product. The black casing looks classy and elegant.

I tried this lipstick. I love AVON but I am unhappy with the way they advertise their lipsticks. If you look at the colour on the lipstick box / dispenser or advertised on the brochure – and the actual colour after application, it looks nothing alike. Although this is a good and affordable brand for ladies.

I was at a function and didn’t have any lipstick on me so I tried this (my friend was using it). It has gorgeous cover and does not look like cheap lipstick. The casing as well doesn’t even look like an Avon brand. Very professional! I love it … Highly recommended

I can always repurchase this lovely product! I got mine in the colour berry smooch and fell in love with it ever since I laid my eyes on them! The colour is like a mixture of purple and pink thus not too light or too dark. Overall I would highly recommend purchasing this.

I have always been afraid to try lipstick, but when I got to try a R5 sample of this Avon Ultra Colour Rich Lipstick in Scarlet Siren, I was instantly hooked.
The lipstick looks very rich and has a slight gloss to it. This makes it instantly moisturising to give you beautiful red lips. You do not need to apply a lot of the lipstick in order to get a deep red colour.
Unfortunately, this lipstick promises colour that lasts for hours, but after a couple of hours, my lipstick had faded and I had to apply more.
If you are looking for a moisturising lipstick, then give this a try, however, be prepared to make touch-ups through out the day.

Avon Ultra Colour Rich Lipstick transforms my lips into luscious looking lips. I love the texture it glides on easily and keeps my lips hydrated. The shades are exquisite; I love them.

Avon’s lipsticks come in a variety of shades and glide on smoothly which I love. The moisturising effect is amazing and I love the fact that it has SPF15. We all need to protect our face and skin in the harsh African sun. The price is another wow as one really gets a lot for the price.
The only con for me is that I really prefer a long-lasting lipstick and I have yet to find an Avon lipstick that lasts longer than an hour or my first glass of water or cup of tea, after application.
Overall a must try though!

Avon keeps on surprising me and I’m sure for many other women as well. Their product ranges are amazing as they cater for everyone out their. I am loving their new Ultra Colour lipstick range and the one I have is Beyond Pink. Since pink is the colour this season this colour is rich and looks vibrant. Since this is not a new product they have only improved this lipstick by having richer and more vibrant colours for women of all skin tones. With ingredients such as arctic berry and omega oils and Vitamin E how could I complain as the lipstick immediately moistured my lips and the colour lasted longer than some other lipsticks.If pink is not your colour there is more subtle colours to choose from. Simply amazing.

I’m not a lipstick girl. At all. Sure I love the odd intense red lip or shocking Fuschia to add a pop of colour for a night out on the town, something only a good quality lipstick can provide. I tend to stick to tinted and sheer lip glosses and have have never purchased a lipliner in my life. So you are probably wondering why I do not like lipstick:
* My lips are left dry after lipstick has worn off (even the really moisturising ones)
* I find it a pain to apply straight from the tube (A lip brush is often needed for precise application)
* It comes off way to quickly meaning I constantly need to reapply and if I don’t, my lips will look washed out
* Long wear lipsticks often feels tight on my lips, cracks and is a nightmare to remove while leaving the top layer of my skin in tact.
So now that you know why I don’t like lipstick, here are my findings on Avon Color Rich Lipstick (This is me being open minded, honest and fair)…
I love the packaging The casing is a sleek black, elongated square tube with a clear Perspex cover on top which allows one to peek at the color – I think is huge plus as it gives you the opportunity to see the actual color before purchasing. This is completed with a classic silver trim upon which the iconic AVON logo is embossed. One opened and wound up, there is an AVON logo embossed on the lipstick which I think is really cute and a really great personal touch from AVON. Over all, 5/5 for the visually appealing packaging.
I wanted to experience the full effect of this lipstick, so in order to do that I needed to prep my lips. I exfoliated and primed to ensure a smooth base, I then proceeded to apply the lipstick in ‘Chic’ (straight from the tube without the help of a lip brush) and then finished off with my Glimmerstick Lip Liner in Mauve which complemented the color Chic beautifully! I then corrected any smudges or uneven lines.
I would like to start off with the formula. I think its absolutely awesome! I think this is by far the most creamy textured lipstick I have ever used (I may not like lipstick, but I have tried quite a few in my quest to find a good one)! Its an absolute joy to apply as the stick feels soft against my lips and the color just glides on with out fuss. The formula is really high pigmented so I see the color coming through from the first application. I applied 2 coats to achieve that intense rosy pink color as it really suited my complexion well!
The Lipstick has a really nice subtle aroma (very slight and nothing over whelming), I can’t quite place my finger on what it resembles, but non the less, a very pleasing smell. My lips looked nice and dewy which I really like.
I had a total wear of about 1hr30mins with either lipstick. In this time, I found that the lipstick moisturised my lips very well, even after the color faded, my lips were left soft and supple. The lipstick is very light weight, so It really was pleasure to wear and my lips felt hydrated, so I wasn’t even conscious that I had lipstick on, my lips felt as if they were able to ‘breathe’. The lipstick it self comes off way to quickly and transfers easily onto anything and everything that may touch your lips (accidentally or intended) – I found this hugely annoying. I had a packet of jelly babies and by the end of that, all that was left of my beautiful lip color was the lip liner out line. This told me a) I would constantly need to reapply this lipstick if I intended to wear the shade for long periods of time, b) The formula does not stain my lips c) The lip liner itself is durable and long lasting without drying out the lips.
So My very last and final thoughts??? Would I start to wear lipstick on a more regular basis? Definitely not. I think that this new Lipstick from AVON is definitely of a really good quality with high moisturising/pigment factors that allows lips to breathe, it just doesn’t stay on long enough to really leave me with a lasting impression. I love to kiss my husband/baby, but would think twice about doing so when wearing this lipstick. So I guess it would be purely for show, but not really functionality
