Avon Lipstick Collection

I know what you all are thinking seeing the title “_____ Lipstick Collection” --- “what in the world will this girl do with a bunch of lipsticks?” Don’t worry, I ask myself that same question every time I purchase a lipstick. For one, I don’t wear lipsticks everyday, and I barely reapply my lipstick once it has faded away. I’m that lazy to keep putting it on. I’m not a lipstick wearer, neither am I a lip balm user. I do have a lip balm, but I only apply it on my lips when my lips get flaky and before lipstick application.


So why do I have this much lipstick in my stash? First of all, the tubes that these lipsticks come in are enough eye candy for me. The packaging is usually sleek and elegant. They look gorgeous standing upright in my stash. Second, the colors catch my eyes. Once I’m captivated by the sparkling colors, I’m put under a spell. This is what happens every time I browse through an Avon catalog.


Since one of my people is an Avon lady who never forgets to hand me the monthly catalog, I always find myself flipping through its pages. Most of the time, a few products, primarily lipsticks, catch my eye. I don’t always order from her, but when I do, I always spend a little over a thousand pesos.


I had previously purchased four Avon lipsticks a month or two ago and to be honest, I haven’t even come close to using up half (or 1/4) of one lipstick. I’ve worn some of them of them a few times, but definitely not more than five. Matter of fact, I don’t think I have touched one of the two mousse lipsticks that I got back then. I’ve only swatched it on my hand and on my lips.


In this post, I’ll take you through my first four Avon lipsticks then go through the last four after. Color description and reviews will be done separately, as I see that this post is going to be quite long on its own.


First we have these two lipsticks from Avon: Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick (Regular price Php 375; $7.81) and Ultra Moisture Rich Mousse Lipstick (Regular Price Php 420; $8.75). The two Ultra Moisture Rich Lipsticks that I got are Coraluscious and Barely There. Nude Glow and Berry Mauvey are the two Ultra Moisture Rich Mousse Lipsticks that I have.


Labels are written below each photo. Excuse the messy and uneven application; I had to rush things so I don't go running late for work.

@Amynaree: Oh I am so like you. Avon and NYX lipsticks drive me crazy. It's like I want to have all the shades. Haha!

@Katrina: Cool! I'm glad this helped you.

@Denysia: Yup! They're all amazingly pigmented, though Juicy Apricot is not so much. But I love them all.

@Rai: Oh no. I think I have to edit that part. I paid that much for my Avon lipsticks. NYX lipsticks are still cheaper.

@Thiamere: Me too! I tried their foundation and compact powder when I much younger, but I didn't like either. Their mascaras are mediocre. The blushes, really haven't tried them. But their lipsticks, oh! They're good! And it's a bonus that Avon goes on sale every month. Haha!

Hi Tish! I'm a new follower =P Wow nice collection! I wish my lips are as full and plump as yours haha they are very pretty! =D

Tish said...

Hi Nikki! I love AVON lippies too! They're inexpensive and the colors are always gorgeous. Aside from that, Avon always comes out with some new lippies so there's always something to look forward to.

Hi Purplestrawberry! Thanks for following. I checked your blog and followed too! Yeah, my lips are plump as they are so those lip plumpers don't interest me at all. Hehe. The colors are really pretty. Not only that, they're quite moisturizing. My lips don't burn or flake with these on :)

I also collect makeups but I don't use them that much. I love collecting eyeshadows and lipsticks. I love your Avon collection sis. They all look good on your lips. My favorite will be the Golden Wine. It looks so sexy on you. I've their 24k lipstick in Golden Rose. You're so lucky, your lips aren't pigmented. Waah, mine are pigmented on the edges. I don't smoke though. *sigh*

Tish said...

@imlee: Oh, AVON lippies are great. They're relatively inexpensive but the quality is amazing :)

@Golden: Oh we're so alike! I also collect eyeshadows and lipsticks. haha! I use my lipsticks, but not that often to empty up a tube quickly. hehe

VampiressDoll said...

I need Berry Mauvey, it looks so pretty. I do love Avon lipsticks in general! You have really pretty shaped lips!:D

Tish said...

Weee!!! Thank you! Your comments are so sweet! You make me smile :)

Berry Mauvey is pretty, but I honestly haven't worn it out. I just swatched it twice, I believe.
