My Avon Lipstick Collection

It was only when I came to start this post that I realised how many lipsticks I have actually come to acquire over my 2 years at Avon. Let me start by saying; it is a myth that when you work for a beauty company you get lots of free make up. Yes, sometimes we do but I would say at least 95% of these I have purchased myself with my own money and that’s because I honestly believe that Avon do offer great products and at really great prices! This is especially true when it comes to their lip products which is why I almost always chose to wear Avon over my high end  lipsticks which have cost me almost 3 or 4 times the price!

As I have so many I have chosen my favourites and broken them down into categories by shade starting with brights, then nudes and then dark plums. Please bare in mind these have been applied alone, with no liner or filters to show the true colour of the product. I also tried 21 lipsticks in the space of around an hour so please excuse the shabby application (don’t judge me!!); this is just for an idea of what the colours look like when applied.

I will start with the brights. To be honest these are probably my least favourite of the groups.. I’m a nude girl through and through however when it hits June and I’ve got a tan my nudes start to gather dust while I reach for bright corals and peaches paired with a peachy blush..Beautiful! My favourites are the gorgeous ‘Ripe papaya’, ‘Bright nectar’ and the intense pink shade ‘Matte ruby’.  

The Brights: Top row (left to right) Pink renewal, Proper pink, Scenic Peony, Pink truffles, Matte ruby
Bottom row: Wild ginger, Caring coral, Caressing coral, Bright nectar, Ripe papaya, Carefree coral

Next are the nudes...my favourites! I love the deep brown ‘Rich rum’ and my perfect nude shade for a ‘your lips but better look’... ‘Matte nude’! These are perfect for everyday and look effortlessly glamorous. I love a nude paired with a smoky eye for a night out!

The Nudes: (left to right) Rich rum, Naughty and nude, Demure, Matte peach, Sparkling Nude, Matte nude

The last group are the deep plums which I have been dabbling with recently. I must admit they are hard to pull off and you do have to be quite brave- the ‘Deep orchid’ is almost black but I kinda like that! My favourite is the ‘Matte grape’ as I think its the most wearable.

The Plums: (left to right) Matte grape, Plum intrigue, Bold Bordeaux, Deep orchid
