My Avon True Color Perfectly Matte Swatch Post + Review

Good evening, loves! If you haven’t heard yet, Avon has just released a new lipstick line and its right on trend. (True Matte Eyeshadow Quads are also available but in this post, i’ll be getting lippy with the lipsticks.)
I’d like to start with saying that I have never been much of a glossy girl. I don’t care much for sticky lips that don’t provide any color with its shine. I tend to prefer the sparkle and glitz to be around my eyes. While Avon does have a few demi-matte lipsticks to the Ultra Color Lipstick line, the truth is they were lacking some shade variety. Also, demi-matte is not a true matte and so when I caught sight of the Perfectly Matte Lipsticks I got incredibly excited! There are 12 True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick shades to choose from and they are all gorgeous!
The name of this lipstick line could not be more fitting. First, True Color. Once again, Avon has done it — what you see is what you get. I appreciate that when I see a tube of Avon lipstick, I’m sure to get the same color on my lips when applied. Other brands have let me down but Avon sure hasn’t. Then, there’s the Perfectly Matte part to the name. Yes, just that — Perfectly Matte. If you are looking for a smooth yet vibrant lipstick that has lasting power without shimmer and shine, this line is for you! The True Color Perfectly Matte Lipsticks will be regularly priced at $9 each, but will launch at an intro special pricing of just $5.99 each!
Here are all 12 of the True Color Perfectly Matte Lipsticks that I “swatched out”. I always have a great time doing these swatches, even though my kids look at my like i’m crazy!
My very first impression on these lipsticks was how smoothly they applied. It was such an effortless application. I’m sure you, like myself, have experienced some waxy lip products that you have to give a great deal of pressure to, to get some kind of color out. This is not the case with these lipsticks — each shade delivers its own unique and eye-pleasing color.  I couldn’t wait to try out all 12 shades on my lips, so I “put my face on” and got my camera ready!
Starting from the bottom left corner and going to the right then straight up, Shade names: Hot Plum, Coral Fever, Perfectly Nude, Marvelous Mocha, and Ideal Lilac. My next impression of the products? Thank goodness for no sticky, harsh, chemical taste. There’s nothing worse than wearing an incredible lip color and having it become tainted due to an unpleasant taste. Also, these lipsticks have such a light feeling to them yet the color is anything but.
After applying these “First Five” I found my favorites were Hot Plum and Marvelous Mocha.  They are all gorgeous though and I can see myself wearing them all for various occasions.  Which one is your favorite out of this group? Leave a comment after the post!
I felt so confident and beautiful when trying these lipsticks out! I was certainly eager to try out the remaining seven shades to the lineup.
Top row going from left to right, Shade names: Superb Wine, Red Supreme and Ravishing Rose. Middle row going from left to right, Shade names: Adoring Love, Pure Pink and Electric Pink. Bottom left, Shade name: Wild Cherry. Look how versatile these shades are! And oh-my-goodness, Electric Pink!? What fun! Bold shades always steal my heart because they give me a fierceness in myself that makes me feel empowered. I also enjoy the sweetness and innocence of shade Pure Pink.
These colors are perfect for Spring (or anytime, really!) I cannot wait to don them with confidence no matter where the day/night takes me! Out of the second grouping, which shade(s) do you love most? Don’t forget to leave a comment below and we can keep the beauty chat going!!

Ultra Color Lipstick Swatches + Product Review

Hey, beauts. Hope you all have had a great weekend! I love playing with makeup and so another lipstick swatch post is born. The Ultra Color lipstick line contains the most shades, over 60 (and 3 finishes) to choose from! 

In this blog post, I will be swatching 15 lipstick shades from the UC line. The Ultra Color Lipstick is regularly priced at $8 a tube but is currently on sale for $5.99 a tube. As of this post, the Ultra Color Lipstick has a 4.3 out of 5 star review with 172 online customer reviews. 89% of respondents would recommend this to a friend.





Why Ultra Color Lipstick is a Top Rated Product:

- Multiple finishes give for multiple looks. I love a great satin lip, but also enjoy changing it up and donning a matte and/or some shimmer. With this lipstick line, i'm able to get all of that in bright or subtle shades. 

- The clear view window on the top of the tube cap allows me to see the color right away and grab it with ease from my makeup bag. 

- Contains a lip-nourishing formula of shea butter, omega-3 oil, arctic berry and vitamin E that conditions and moisturizes my lips.

- This lipstick line is designed with the true color technology to work well and look amazing on all skin tones. My skin is quite pale but I haven't found a shade yet that doesn't work for me for at least one occasion. 

- It's inexpensive but delivers color and coverage that would make most guess that you spent a "pretty penny" on it.


I'd like to close the post with pictures of me wearing a few different AVON Ultra Color lipstick shades. Also, be sure to check out the Ultra Color Bold Lipsticks with 50% more pigment for that extra punch of color! All can be found and purchased online at youravon.com/ssandis

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!

UC Indulgence Lip Color Swatches

Hey, beauties! Now is the time for me to do a lippy swatch post since the AVON Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color is at the LOWEST PRICE EVER -- only $3.99 each! (Reg. $9 each) As an AVON Independent Sales Representative, I am able to purchase lipstick samples in many shades/lines. This is geared for my customers to try out so they can see if they like the color prior to making their purchase. It also works out great for me so I can try a new shade out when the mood strikes. 

Today I will be "swatching" most of the Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color lipstick line. There are 12 indulgent shades to this line and I have 10 that I will show swatches on today. The 2 shades that I do not have on me to share with you are: In Bloom (a light golden/brown nude color) and Day Lily (a deep burgundy more purple than reddish, though).
(From left to right) Peach Petunia, Petal Pink, Poppy Pink, Pink Blossom, Red Tulip, Chocolate Rose, Honey Flower, Plum Verbena, Rose Bouquet, and Orchid Petal.

As you can tell from my picture, I have used the Orchid Petal quite a bit! I love the fun purple shade. I don't find it to be too bright but it sure is cheerful. I've never really experienced a shade like it which is why I feel that I am most drawn to its unique color. 

Here is a collage I made up of me wearing a few of the AVON Ultra Color Indulgence, through the pass couple of months, in shades: Chocolate Rose, Rose Bouquet, Pink Blossom, and Orchid Petal :
I had so much fun wearing the Chocolate Rose shade. It was way outside my comfort zone to don such a dark brown color. I received tons of compliments while wearing it. The Rose Bouquet is a great red shade for those who wish to take that next step from lighter/darker pink shades. This shade is a perfect transition from that to the classic red lip. Pink Blossom is such a cute and girly shade! I also receive a ton of compliments when I wear this one. Then we have the Orchid Petal, which as I mentioned above, I find to be an incredibly unique shade. 

I feel that all of these lipstick shades would work on any skin tone. The UC Indulgence lipsticks are lightweight, yet provide full coverage and rich color. These lipsticks have a creamy and refreshing texture -- quite soothing to the lips! 

SWATCH TIME!
