Avon Simply Pretty ColorBliss Lipstick in Sweet Rose Review

 

by Chand

This is my first Avon product. The main draw back of this brand is you have to purchase only through the Avon members. If you are not aware of any one personally who deals with Avon cosmetics, then it is a little irritating. Thanks to the blogging world, it has introduced so many ladies to me who have access to Avon cosmetics. They are willing to take the trouble of shipping to you if at all you need any Avon products.

Claims:

• Blissful medium to full color finish with added natural moisturising complex that help retain moisture and improves suppleness.
• Contains vitamin-E
• Glides on smoothly, makes lip look instantly softer and smoother
• Feels lightweight and non-sticky.

Price & Quantity: Rs.169 for 4g

Shade: Sweet Rose

My Experience:

Packaging: The packaging style is the usual lipstick case, a twist up tube with the click pressing cap, all made of plastic. The shape is a little different. It is a little broader and curvy near both its ends than the middle of the tube. And some thing cute is the creeper with heart shape in between is present at the middle of the lipstick tube. It makes the package to look pretty attractive.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance/Texture: The color is a perfect peach. The name says ‘Sweet Rose’, but there is no amount of rose I see in the shade. All peach lovers will like this product. It is a subtle peach, the type of the light one.

Consistency wise it is non-sticky and non-glossy. The lipstick transferred on to the lips in one swipe is very little, just the minimum that is needed. The next swipe again, some more product gets on to the lips and the complete color is visible. The feel on my lips is as though I have applied nothing. So light is its texture.

I do not find any fragrance to this lipstick. Or rather my smell sensing cells are just dead. ;). Even if there is any smell, usually it would vanish off in about 2 minutes or so.

How it works: Swiping this lipstick on the lips is very simple and easy. At least 2 swipes is a must for the color to be visible and to show that you have used color on the lips.

It is not a creamy or glossy kind of lipstick, yet it does not clump on the lips. I do not feel my lips dry with this lipstick. It stays on easily for about 5 hours on me. It looked a little dim after I had my lunch, but the lighter shade was still there for another 2 hours. By the time it faded, it left my lips a little dry; until then I had not felt any issues with this product. Only towards the end I used a little lip balm.

This is a perfect lipstick for my usually dry lips.

PROS:

• Non sticky texture.
• Easy application, no clumping.
• Twist up tube packaging.
• Travel friendly product.
• Good staying power.
• Suits my dry lips too.
• Very cheap in its price.
• No shimmers in this particular shade.
• Just 2 swipes will give the complete pigmentation of the color.

CONS:

• Not easily available every where.
• Only Avon members have access to the products.
• Leaves the lips a little dry when it fades.

 

Rating: 4/5

Do I Recommend?:
Yes. A very good non sticky, light textured, and well pigmented lipstick, this is a must try. I have not come across any product that is simply superb which is available at just Rs.169

Would I Repurchase?:
Yes. I have one more. And will grab some more when I find my perfect light colors.
