There is something glamorous about swiping on a bold, sultry
lipstick that effortlessly ties a makeup look together and accentuates your pout
with an alluring pop of color. Matte lipsticks sometimes get a bad rap for being
uncomfortable, drying and difficult to reapply but the rich finish enhances lips so beautifully they are totally irresistible!

Avon’s Perfectly Matte Lipsticks have become a new obsession
of mine and their motto is “never cakes, cracks or compromises” for a 100% true
matte look! These babies are simply stunning and the color selection is very
trendy! I don’t care much for flesh tones so I chose a variety of bright shades that
are perfect for every season and flattering on most complexions including: deep
burgundy, red, bright pink, coral and plum.
Unlike some matte lipsticks that look a tad shiny in
the tubes and still produce a hint of luminosity these do not! They look completely
matte and gloss-free when uncapped yet the formula is one of my favorites. The creamy texture that glides on effortlessly and bathes lips in vivid
pigment for hours of wear.
If you tend to shy away from drying lip products (and I don’t
blame you during the winter) you don’t have to fear these bodacious
hues. The finish may be perfectly matte but the formula feels ultra lightweight,
supple and quite hydrating without any slickness. I love that the texture doesn’t
suck the moisture out of my lips and make them look parched and cracked; in fact they feel fabulous with no flaking or uncomfortable tightness.
Avon definitely hit it out of the park with these buttery pigments and as they begin to wear away the color fades nicely for a soft, flushed effect, similar to that blurred Korean beauty trend that was so hip last summer. The pinks and deep reds are perfect for Valentine's Day next month and Hot Plum is totally swoon worthy!

The packaging is classic Avon, very sleek and simple. The black
tubes are adorned with silver trim and have clear tops so you can see the
shades without opening them. These do have a light fruity scent but they smell delicious!
Wild Cherry, Ideal Lilac, Coral Fever
For best results I use liner and primer
first to intensify and prolong wear but they look gorgeous simply applied right out
of the tubes and the pigmentation is wonderful! Avon did not skimp on color when
they formulated these. What you see is what you get and the lush, luxurious color distributes well for amazing full coverage.
Ravishing Rose & Hot Plum- (my personal fave!)
The lipsticks retails for just $10.00 each and will be available at avon.ca or through independent
consultants in February. I highly recommend getting your hands on some!

These sound like the perfect lip sticks!! I love matte lips but they're usually drying. Avon is a little bit harder to find here though. I'll def be doing some digging - I need Wild Cherry and Ravishing Rose in my life! xx
