Be Talk: AVON Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in Twig




Brand Name: AVON
Line: Ultra Color Rich
Shade: Twig

Price: INR 269 but varies with available offers

A perfect MLBB (My Lips But Better-in other words-the shades which are most close to our natural color of lips) lipstick-according to the makeup addicts like us-is a most elusive find! Sometime-they are jusssst one tone dark, sometimes-we thought “This is surely goinna work” and bought one to find it washes us out-and sometime-the most eligible choice suddenly gets discontinued!! But the need for a perfect MLBB shade-that justifies its name will remain forever. However-now beauties can sleep in peace-if they have the AVON Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in Twig!!!

 
Description from the company website:



 Me Talk:

AVON lipsticks –especially the simply pretty and Ultra Color Rich range, packs good quality, beautiful and pigmented colors with very competitive pricing. Also the best attraction about AVON products are the occasional offers that accompany their products-that simply makes them irresistible to us-the makeup maniacs like us. So when I found out about the 2 Ultra Color Rich lipsticks for Rs 319 offer-I rang up my AVON lady and placed the order for 4 lipsticks- Wineberry (read review here), Twig, Butternut and Mocha. 

Well-as I said-I found my perfect MLBB shade of lipstick in this AVON beauty! Twig is mild peachy brown in color-or rather a beautiful peach-and-crème shade packed with the usual deeply moisturizing quality of the AVON Ultra Color Rich Lipstick Range. It has great pigmentation, glossy finish and stays for a good 4 hours without meals. This shade is more on the sheer side-and hence the glossy finish-but that is not at the price of the coverage it delivers. And again, while you are wearing this lipstick, using a lipbalm isn’t needed! 




 I think this shade will be close to Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick in Autumn Rush-but is more moisturizing and peachier.

Pro-Side:

1) Beautiful mild peachy shade. It is sheer in finish. Perfectly non-washing-out MLBB for me!
2) Very moisturizing
3) Deep pigmentation-gives an opaque finish in 1-2 swipes. Good for pigmented lips
4) Stays long-about 3-4 hours without meal. Fades evenly
5) Price is reasonable-at offers like this-I got this beautiful lipstick at less than 160 bucks!! (2 for Rs 319 offer)
6) Wide range of colors available

Down Side:

1)Avon catalog is so misleading-without seeing reviews-its impossible to decide which one to buy
2)Available through representatives
