Hello Beauties,
Today I’m going to review a beautiful lipstick from Avon which is extremely affordable and of high quality. The lipstick in question is Avon Simply Pretty ‘Fresh Rose’.
Product Description:
• Blissful medium to full color finish with added natural moisturizing complex that help retain moisture and improve suppleness
• Contains Vitamin E
• Glides on smoothly, makes lips look instantly softer and smoother
• Feels lightweight and non-sticky
Price: Rs 169/- for 4gms
Packaging
The lipstick is packaged in a bright purple packaging with the shade name mentioned at the bottom. The bullet of the lipstick has ‘LOVE” embossed on it which looks oh so cute. The cap of the lipstick shuts tightly making it travel friendly. I’m not necessarily fond of the packaging but at this price I can’t complain.
Shade
Fresh Rose looks very brown in the bullet but upon swatching it is a beautiful rosy pink with a hint of brown. This is one shade that will suit every complexion beautifully and I’ve fallen in love with the shade.
Texture
The lipstick is extremely creamy and soft. It adequately hydrates my dry lips and applies evenly. Despite the creamy texture it does not bleed or feather. After a few hours it does tend to settle into fine lines so make sure you apply a lip balm underneath.
Pigmentation & Staying Power
Fresh Rose is well pigmented and 2 swipes gives a good color pay off. It will easily cover pigmentation of lips and you can always tone it down by blotting it.
The staying power is superb and it stays put for 4-5 hours. It easily survives small meals and snacks but does require a touch up after a full meal. I didn’t expect such high staying power considering its price and I must say I was pleasantly surprised.
Pros
1. A beautiful rosy pink that will suit all complexions
2. Creamy and moisturizing texture
3. Well pigmented
4. Superb staying power
5. Extremely affordable
Cons
1) Only available through Avon reps
Rating: 4.5/5
Final Recommendation: Avon’s Fresh Rose is a beautiful rosy pink and will flatter all complexions. It has a nice creamy texture with good staying power. Also, it is extremely affordable and I highly recommend it!
