Review | Avon Anew Beauty Tinted Lip Plumping Conditioner | Beauty Brags

Avon's Anew Beauty Tinted Lip
Plumping Conditioner - £9.00
Hey! So I'm pretty sure you guys are wondering why I'm doing yet another review of an anti-ageing product but bear with me and I swear you will not regret it!

As I've said in previous posts, I absolutely hate the size of my lips as I just don't feel they are in proportion to my face. Because of that, I think they look a bit strange and small when I put lipstick on so I always try to stick to a shade that will complement my skin tone and not stand out too much.

This product is a tinted lip plumping conditioner which essentially means that it's a lipstick that makes your lips bigger and softer. Perfect for me, right?

Product exterior
I opted to buy this product in a berry shade for £9 directly from Avon through my local representative in the shade of 'berry tint' as it's pretty much the kind of shade I always go for so I figured it would be safe and not stick out too much!

The product comes beautifully packaged and, personally, I think it looks very elegant in the white and gold packaging and gives the look of being very high quality and sophisticated. First impressions count for a lot and this product certainly doesn't fail there!

Application of the product
The lipstick is also very smooth to put on and so you can instantly tell that it's a conditioning product. For someone with dry, chapped lips like myself, this is practically a godsend and it's so easy to smack your lips together throughout the day to ensure the product is still applied evenly!

In addition to that, I love the colour! I was completely correct in assuming that the colour would be

like my regular shades and wouldn't make my thin little lips look too silly so it's great for using every day (which I now do!). But, the most important part is - does it make your lips look bigger? And the short answer to that is yes! It really does enhance your lips and plump them into a natural pout - no one would know you were using an anti-ageing product and it's done wonders for my self esteem!

I will definitely be ordering more of this product in different shades as they also have the shades 'rose' and 'honey'! I can't wait to try them and hope that you love this product just as much as I do!

Have you tried Avon's Anew Beauty Tinted Lip Plumping Conditioner in this shade or another?

Let me know what you thought!

Review | Avon Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick | Beauty Brags

Avon Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick -
Berry Gold - £4.50
Recently a friend of mine became an Avon representative and so I saw an opportunity to order a load of stuff and finally try some products from Avon!

One of these was a lipstick which was priced at £4.50 - a bargain in my books! I was looking for a colour which was quite bold and so when I saw they had a Bold range, I had to try it! The product can be found on the Avon website but if you have a local Avon representative, have a look at their brochure online or ask for a delivery of a paper copy!

Closed product
The colour of the lipstick I opted for was named Berry Gold and I figured that this would be a nice raspberry-cherry colour. When I actually got the product and opened it, it was a lot darker than I was expecting. The packaging, however, was beautiful, a really sophisticated design and something I love looking at in my makeup display. I've provided a picture to the left so you can see exactly what you would be getting!

When I applied it, I was pleasantly surprised. The colour was bold, as promised, but it is not as dark as it looks in the picture and actually is almost identical to the colour swatch that Avon provides online. I've provided my own photo from a swatch on the back of my hand below.

Application
In addition to that, the lipstick was really smooth in its application and I only had to put one coat on to get the desired effect. As it went on so smoothly, it traced my lip line perfectly and I barely had to fill in any edges - when I did, it was really easy to to as the lipstick was not too thick that I would go over my lip line.

Overall, I am so satisfied with this product and would definitely buy it again. Great for a night out and fantastic quality, especially for the price of it!

Have you tried Avon's Ultra Colour Bold Lipstick in this shade or any others? What did you think?
