Avon Simply Pretty Valentine Brights ColorBliss Lipstick VCB 03 Fresh Rose Swatches, Review & LOTD By Lee
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!
Editor’s Note: I think the shade is fab and looks awesome on you Lee.

Today I am reviewing the shades 438 Kiss & Tell and 439 Cranberry Crush in Gloss Me and 433 Rioja Red in Matte Me
Comes in a regular square transparent gloss packaging with a black cap..has a doe foot applicator.
Kiss & Tell is bright orangey blue toned red with silver bluish shimmer and Cranberry Crush is a sheerer watermelon pink with silver shimmer again.
Rioja Red is a bright blue toned true red.
Gloss Me are loaded with shimmer and sticky in formula..though they stay well and are good in pigmentation..I would say these are like any other normal glosses..nothing too different..
On the other hand, Matte Me are amazing..completely matte but yet non drying, full opaque coverage..and stays well..but ya they do flake a little with eating and drinking and needs to be reapplied…and one has to apply neatly with a brush and work before it sets which is about in a few minutes..
Swatches..my mehendi is peeping in :p
T-B: Rioja Red, Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush
Here is it on me..
L-R: Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush, Rioja Red
I made the mistake of not using a lip brush for Matte Me..and sorry for the uneven application..I would suggest using a lip brush for Matte Me for a neat, even and proper application..it takes some time to set..but once set is completely matte.
Overall I loved the Matte Me..and found the Gloss Me pretty ok..good in pigmentation and staying power..I would have preferred less stickiness and shimmer though..

Lets get on to the review of my favorite pink lipstick currently..
What the Company claims: A savoir for lips during cold winter months or dry summer days, Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter contains a combination of Mango, Shea and Coconut Butter to naturally soothe lips while giving a touch of color that outshines any dull day.
Pampering gel formula glides on lips buttery smooth and hydrates lips 94% of women saw a difference in their lip moisturization Medium coverage color with a high shine finish Mango Butter, Shea Butter and Coconut Butter naturally boosts lip moisture Gives balm like feel to lips, making lips feel soothed, pampered, and conditioned Naturally fragrant with Vanilla Absolute
SHADES: 15 delicious shades: Pink Truffle, Raspberry Pie, Tutti Frutti, Brown Sugar, Peach Parfait, Fig Jam, Candy Apple, Red Velvet, Cotton Candy, Berry Smoothie, Cherry Tart, Lollipop, Strawberry Shortcake, Sugar Plum, Sweet Tart.
They have launched three new shades: Sorbet, Juicy Papaya and Wild Watermelon..I guess there is one more Pink Lemonade which they have not launched here..
M.R.P: Rs. 600/- for 2.55g
It comes in silver packaging with a pink or purple transparent cap wit criss cross pattern. The qty of 2.55g is as much as your pinky finger !
These are super glossy and hydrating..though sheer but are buildable..the darker shades like Sorbet are quite pigmented..the gel formula gives a lip balm feel..so the effect is somewhere in between of a gloss and lip balm and a sheer lipstick..Sorbet stays for 3-4 hours..
Sorbet is a medium cool toned pink..very flattering on medium to fair skin..its such a prettyy pink..not as bright and neonish as the Fuchsias..nor the lighter daily wear pinks..something that would brighten up your face and still look subtle enough..this shade is a must have ! One of my favorite pinks..

Maybelline Bold Matte Colorsensational Lipstick Mat 2 Review, Swatches First of all thank you so much for all the wishes on this post and on facebook and mails..I am overwhelmed 🙂 Thanks a lot.. Coming to the review of the newly launched Maybelline Bold Matte Lipstick.. What the Company claims: Hydrating matte with honey nectar
o Moisturising agents like rosa canina oil and jojoba oil
o Powderless matte pigments ensure true vivid shades
5 trendy vibrant shades in a brilliant matte texture
It comes in the normal silver Colorsensational packaging but with a sheer red cap..has a fruity watermelon smell..
But first thing to be noticed is, its not matte ! I am not aware why these are claimed to be matter..these are quite creamy and glossy..super pigmentation..these can be builded to a super opaque color..and I love the staying power !! It stays for almost 5-6 hours and then leaves behind a nice coral pink stain.
Mat 2 is a reddish peachy coral..but not neonish or in your face..I love how it makes my teeth looks white and brightens my whole face instantly..I can easily skip a lip balm too with this..coz its quite moisturising..
Here is it on me..please excuse me dry lips..I have to speak whole day since I teach and its taking a toll on me of late :/
Pros:
1. Super pigmented.
2. Comes in 5 bright shades.
3. Moisturising…I do see jojoba oil, etc on the ingredients list..
4. Has a glossy finish which settles for a slightly semi matte one later.
5. Love the staying power..stays for 5-6 hours and leaves behind a pretty stain.
6. I like how the color flatters my skin tone and brightens my face and smile..a perfect reddish coral.
7. Economical.
Cons:
1. Claimed as matte..its not matte.
2. Not transfer proof.
3. I would have preferred different colored caps to distinguish the shades and also giving them names would have been better instead of mat1, mat2, etc
Overall I love them as lipsticks and totally love the shade..if it were not claimed as matte..then it would have been better. Checking out the red and pink too.
If you like bright, long staying yet moisturising lipsticks, you will surely love these. But if you were expecting these to be matte, then skip it.

Lakme 9 to 5 Lip Color Peony Goal Review, Swatches
I had mentionedabout the new Lakme 9 to 5 Office Stylist Range HERE
Peony Goal is one of the lipsticks from this new range..
What the Company claims: Lakmé 9 to 5 range consists of a wide collection for daily office wear with subtle shades that require no touch-ups through the day, providing an impeccably styled look and allowing a hassle-free transition from the desk to the office party.
Combines amazing comfort with staying power that keeps you looking fresh for hours. With a long-wearing comfort technology. Offers a creamy color with Colorfix technology. Ensures 10 hours of intense crème color.
MRP: Rs.400/- for 3.6g\
Shades Available:
15 shades bifurcated into reds & browns and pinks & mauves..
I quite love the rose gold packaging..chic case with slight rounded edges..and it clasps tight..I love the names too..ending with Goal, Slip, Break, Drill, Management, Play,etc..all corporate language..
Peony Goal is a mauve pink brown with gold shimmer..an everyday shade..quite close to MLBB..it has a soft matte finish..these glide on quite smoothly..and are super soft..
As these are meant for work..this shade is perfect for work wear..plus the soft matte finish is also quite formal..it has a sweet smell which goes away in a minute or so..
This shade stays on for 3-4 hours..I am a little disappointed with the staying power..since its the 9 to 5 range and is supposed to stay longer..but the deeper shades in this range seem to stay longer and leave behind a stain..
Here is how it looks on me..
Pros:
1. Soft matte finish…quite smooth in texture.
2. Chic packaging.
3. Economical
4. 15 shades to choose from.
5. Travel friendly..it clasps tight.
6. Though its matte..its not drying or uncomfortable on lips.
Cons:
1. I prefer it sans the shimmer.
2. Expected it to stay longer.
Overall I would say I loved the finish of these and the packaging too..I like this shade but sans the shimmer..I would surely check out other shades in this range..Do recommend it..especially for work wear..I would like to check out Pink Slip or Tea Break..
