Avon Simply Pretty Plum Perfect Lipstick Review and Swatches

All of us love wearing lipsticks. Different shades for different moods right! :) I myself am very fond of Lakme, Elle 18 and Avon ranges. All of them offer lots of shades at pretty reasonable prices. So, mostly when I plan on buying one lip colour, I end buying 3 or 4 at a time.

The lipstick I am going to review today is Avon Simply pretty: Perfect Plum shade. I got this more than a year back. Now, this range is available in a different packing, I guess. Read on, to know more about this lipstick and have a look at the swatches.

Price and Quantity:

I got these through some scheme for 99 bucks :D Later on there was a hike and it became INR 139.

For the exact price, you have got to check the monthly manual of Avon, since there are a lot of different schemes and discounts available, quite regularly with Avon. Quantity happens to be 4 grams.

My Take:

This lipstick comes in a very regular black, plastic twisty tube. I found this packing very boring. I guess, the packing has been changed now to a more vibrant shade. Never the less, the cap fits in quite well and the product is quite travel friendly :)

It is a deep mauve plum shade. The colour pay off is good. You can check out the swatches. I have lured my sister to pose for a lip swatch, in exchange of a Dairy milk :) She is such a sweetheart! Mauve suits, every skin tone, more or less.

The lipstick stays for a quite reasonable time for me.  It would easily stay on you for 3 hours and then you would need a touch up. It transfers a bit on cups etc but not in a scary way.

As far as, moisturizing the lips is concerned, it is not very good in that (It would not dry your lips, either). So, apply a little amount of vaseline before you put on the lip colour. On the positive side, it glides on smoothly. It has a semi matte finish to it.

Swatches:

Why I like this Lipstick?:

• Pigmented shade.
• Semi matte finish
• Reasonable staying power
• Pocket friendly
• Travel friendly
• Does not bleed

Why I don’t like this Lipstick?:

• Does not moisturize lips much.
• Available through agents only

 

Final Verdict:

I am quite satisfied with this lipstick and would look out for trying some more shades soon.

 

Rating: 4/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

Yups, it is a budget buy with decent performance.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes, I would love to. Sadly, I have no Avon agent in touch currently. Earlier, a neighborhood lady used to do it, now, she has discontinued :(
