Avon Ultra Colour Rich Moisture Seduction Lipstick - Rose Ribbons

Rose Ribbons is another colour from Avon that wouldn't have been my first choice, but has quickly become a staple. Recently I've been so into bright colours when it comes to lippies that I wouldn't have given it a first glance. Yet I find myself reaching for it almost daily at the moment. For me it's almost a my lips but better colour - yet when I shoot it for a lip swatch it looks way more shiny. Unfortunately I've had a couple of large spots recently so I'm not feeling much like giving it in full face context, but hope to do so with both this and Temptress soon.

The Moisture Seduction Lipsticks have a marbled effect with the Rich, ultra-creamy lipstick intertwined with ribbons of hydrating moisture that can be seen in the picture below. I did take pics of this unused but the colour representation wasn't great and I guess I deleted them because I can't find them anywhere. I think the moisture marbling effects the wear of these lipsticks and the evenness with which colour applies. It's not an issue on this colour because it's so near to my natural lips that wear isn't noticeable in the same way as with a bright colour like Fuchsia Fever, where top ups are required much more regularly. The Ultra Colour Rich Moisture Seduction Lipsticks are SPF15 which is great news but if it's high impact colour your after I'd be much more inclined to the Ultra Colour Rich Colordisiac Lipsticks.

Avon regularly have offers and since last week they've changed again and the Ultra Colour Rich Moisture Seduction Lipsticks are currently on offer at £4.50 - normally £8.50 - whilst the Ultra Colour Rich Colordisiac Lipsticks are back to full price.
