Beyond Color Lipstick Swatches

Hey, beauties. I got such a positive response from my first lipstick swatch post that I did: UC Indulgence Lip Color Swatches - I knew it would only be a matter of time before I did another lippy swatch post. On the blog today, i'll be swatching most of the shades from the AVON Beyond Color Lipstick line. These lipsticks are regularly priced at $8 each but you can currently get them on sale for just $4.99 each at youravon.com/ssandis Stock up on your favorite shades just in time for all of your Holiday events! Beauty Tip: Dare to be bold and try a new shade outside your comfort zone. 

As of this post, Beyond Color Lipstick has a 4 out of 5 star rating with 25 customer reviews. There are 15 shades to choose from in this lipstick line. Don't forget about the Beyond Color Lip Conditioner - this colorless lip treatment can be worn alone or underneath your lipstick to instantly smooth and soften lips. What's so great about the Beyond Color Lipsticks? With a new, enhanced formula you're sure to get the big pout you've been dreaming of. The formula consists of jojoba oil, caffeine, and pomegranate extract leaving lips looking and feeling more plump! Satin finish. SPF 15. 

Based on the swatches, my favorite shade is Berry Cute. I love how fun Shocking Pink and Bitten are and how there is just a hint of wine colored difference to Revenge and Truffle. Power Trip is a strong red lipstick that should give confidence and strength when wearing it. The shade Heat Wave looks a bit more bright and coral colored in the tube than what showed up when swatched. 

These lipsticks smell and "taste" great when on thanks to the pomegranate extract and the feel is silky smooth. I was worried that my lips may feel tingly with the caffeine infused but i'm pleased to report that there is none such feeling. I'm very pleased with this product!

*Online Customer Reviews for the AVON Eyeshadow Primer:

"This is hands down the best eyeshadow primer I've ever used, which includes some much more expensive brands. This goes on easily and then does what it's supposed to beauitfully. Shadow and liner stay put all day with no creasing or smudging."

"This primer is my salvation for long work days. It keeps my liner and shadow on for over 12 hours without reapplying or touch ups. Goes on smoothly and on my fair skin looks like a light shadow if I don't feel like using a colored eyeshadow. Great product!"

"Used many primers and I was even a representative of another makeup company for years and this by far is the best I have ever used. Never had a problem with any AVON product. I have completely changed everything over."

If you have read my previous entry, My Mini Makeup Haul, you'll remember that I tried and reviewed two of the next primer products that I will mention: Magix Face Perfector and the AVON Lash Conditioner + Primer. Both I have found to be essential in prepping my makeup looks. You can read (or re-read) more about those products HERE. 

To prep/prime those lips, check out the Beyond Color Lip Conditioner. SPF 15. Instantly lips feel softer, smoother and firmer. Colorless to wear alone or under lip color ($8). Pros: Soothing, Long-lasting, Healing, Effective. Best Uses: Daily Use, Prevent Wind Burn, Sun Protection, Treat Chapped Lips.

I'd like to shift gears a bit while still focusing on beauty primers. Don't disregard a good hair treatment. Have you tried the mark. Hair Products yet? With the damaging effects of the wind and cold weather, now is a good time to use the mark. Prep For It Hair Primer ($16). Run this lightweight lotion through wet or dry hair for a veil of moisture without weighing your hair down. This product is also great for detangling hair instantly. 

Other mark. Hair Products to explore are: mark. Therapy Session Hair Repair Mask, mark. More Than Shine Hair Serum, and mark. That's Beachy Texturizing Surf Spray. Learn more about all of the mark. Hair Products HERE.

Now that you have your beautiful makeup look applied, don't forget to set it:

The AVON Makeup Setting Spray is a phenomenal product that that will keep that gorgeous going! A quick spritz helps set makeup in place. This microfine mist dries quickly to an invisible finish. Helps set your foundation, blush, and eye makeup in place without drying your skin. This product is infused with Vitamins A, C, E. and leaves a non-sticky feel. ($10) How to use: After applying makeup, hold bottle 8-10 inches away from face. Close eyes and lightly mist face 2-4 times to help set your makeup.

MY LUST LIST: Lipstick Shades

Hey, beauts! I've previously blogged on my favorite lipstick shades (you can check out that post HERE to see which ones made my list). I'm sure as I try new shades, i'll be updating that favorites list. I'm a firm believer that a gal cannot have too many lipsticks (or any makeup product for that matter). Makeup is fun --- an extension of your personality. I'm a "wear your heart on your sleeve" type girl, so my moods most certainly reflect the style of my look for that time. This is why I find it most fulfilling to have an impressive makeup collection so as to have an open palette of colors and trends. 

I cannot say enough positive things about AVON makeup. The different lipstick lines allow for a wide variety in how you want your makeup to look and feel. Do you need something that is going to hold up and last for hours? Do you want some shimmer and sparkle? How about a matte finish - is that more your scene? AVON has something for every occasion. Today's entry will be on the lipstick shades that are on my list, that I've just got to try out ASAP. Hence, My Lippy To Do List!

FROM THE ULTRA COLOR LIPSTICK LINE: (4.3 out of 5 star rating)
Satin Finish - shade Vamp. This one is a dark, deep, purple. Gosh, it looks gorgeous. I imagine myself wearing this shade on a girls night out! Something fun, dark and mysterious. Definitely something that will turn heads. Vamp is bold, high fashion, and I want it. I love that this lipstick line contains a lip-nourishing formula of shea butter, omega-3 oil, arctic berry and vitamin E. 

Demi Matte Finish - shade Matte Nude. I love a great natural lippy look from time to time! There are a few nude colored shades that have my heart but I want to try one in a matte finish. Matte makeup is all the rage, and especially for Fall right around the corner, its an on-trend look. No shine, no fuss. Simplistic. A quick touch of this in the morning will make you feel ready and confident for the day. You can't go wrong with a subtle lipstick shade, simple as that.

FROM THE BEYOND COLOR LIPSTICK LINE: (4 out of 5 star rating)
shade Bitten. What a fun and bright pink color! The improved Beyond Color Lipstick line is now formulated with jojoba oil, caffeine and pomegranate extract. You can trust that your lips are protected with its included SPF 15. All shades in this line have a Satin finish. I've just got to try this one. "On Wednesday's we wear pink." right!?


shade Heat Wave. What girl doesn't love a classic red lip? I know I do! A red lip gives me confidence and empowerment. It makes me feel like a whole new person, really. I'm always down to try a new shade of red and add it to my collection of rose and ruby colored pretties. This shade looks to me like it would be classic yet have that little bit of extra spunk. The name says it all, this one is HOT HOT HOT!


FROM THE EXTRA LASTING LIPSTICK LINE: (3.8 out of 5 star rating)
shade Pink Peach. Looks like this one is a sweet pale pink with a hint of orange - a salmon color, if you will. This is the lipstick like that you want to get if you know that you need your lippy look to last for hours. I can imagine myself wearing this shade on a day out with my husband, browsing around the stores, or having a picnic lunch at the park. Just too sweet.
