OMG! I’m absolutely in LOVE with these new liquid lipsticks! Personally, I prefer the Vinyl (high shine) over the Velvet formula (matte). The matte is very moisturizing and reminds me of Avon’s True Color Perfectly Matte Lipsticks! If you haven’t tried them, you need to and in a hurry! Both formulas are great! Lipstick and lip paint! They’re really impressive. They don’t dry or irritate your skin. Long lasting. Great color payoff and a little goes a LONG way.
I am a lip gloss lover and the Vinyl lipsticks remind me of lip gloss. It’s easy to apply, I rarely use a lip liner and it looks great on most ages. They’re absolutely AH-MAZING!!!! They smell absolutely delicious too! Like candy! The Fantasy (matte purple) actually smells like a Grape Jolly Rancher! I’ll shut up and just let you see how the lip paints actually look on me. Yes, I have them in ALL shades now 🙂
They’re available for $12 each which I find to be very reasonable given the quality of these lip paints. The Vinyl in Cozy is perfect to transforming any of the colors and toning it down if you don’t want to go so bold.

Avon Lip Gloss Haul and Swatch – check out the new colors and formulas such as True Color Technology. I’ll be testing the True Color Nourishing Lipstick, Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss, Gloss Tube Lip Gloss and mark. Glow Back Glow Hook Up Lip Gloss.
Hi, my name is Natalie and I have a problem. I’m beginning to realize that. You see the picture above? Yea, that’s not part of a collection acquired over time. That was all purchased at the click of a button, probably 30 seconds between each click. My mom mentioned that she was looking for peach lipsticks and it reminded me that I needed to prepare for spring.
To be clear, I’m more of a lip gloss girl than lipstick. I have my few fave lippies but I really LOVE lip gloss 🙂 It’s an old habit that I just can’t shake. I remember the old school lip glosses from the ’90s with the glass tube and roller ball (ugh, I’m showing my age). Yes, I’m that girl — the girl that had every flavor and my favorite one — orange!!!
For the most part, I really feel like I can wear any of these glosses any day of the week. So I’m just throwing them all in my purse and when my lips get dry, I’ll just pull out one from my bag like Barney and apply 🙂
With the average “good” lip gloss costing anywhere between $20-24, you are in for a real surprise when you see what’s below! I’ve outlined each product but scroll down for the actual swatches. Yea, I swatched lip glosses. I couldn’t help myself 🙂
I’ll be reviewing each product from left to right. The prices on the right are current sales prices and subject to change. One thing I really love about this company is that the deals come around so often and even without the deal, it’s still reasonably priced. Hey! I’m a woman on a budget 🙂
Avon True Color Nourishing Lipstick in Mellow Melon
In Campaign 5, 2017, Avon announced that it decided to upgrade the formulas on it’s current lipsticks and even changed the packaging to include “True Color.” True Color Technology is what Avon promises, for those of us apprehensive online shoppers, “the product you see is the product you get.” The Avon True Color Nourishing Lipstick is actually a new addition to the makeup line and not an upgraded formula for an existing product. This lipstick is infused with jojoba oil, vitamin E, collagen and lanolin. Click here to see all 10 shades swatched.
It is truly moisturizing and feels good on the lips. I didn’t feel as though it weighed my lips down and really didn’t notice it while applied. It’s very pigmented. It actually reminded me of one of my higher-end brands that I wear around spring of every year. I couldn’t wear all of Avon’s lipsticks due to some ingredients that felt like wax. They actually had a burning sensation that I couldn’t stand. As soon as I applied the lipstick, I took it off. I didn’t want them to puff and swell. It didn’t happen but I couldn’t take the risk of walking around like a blowfish.
Final judgement: a definite must-buy. I was skeptical of purchasing more than one shade due to the aforementioned possible allergic reaction but now that I see that it doesn’t exist; the lipstick is pigmented and feels so good — I’d be a fool not to buy more!
Avon Ultra Glazewear in Citrus Shine and Pale Peach
Avon Ultra Glazewear in Pale Peach and Citrus Shine
In all fairness, I’m already a purchaser of the Ultra Glazewear Lip Glosses but this is the first time that I’ve ever purchased the two shades above (Citrus Shine and Pale Peach). Prior to this purchase, I had about 4 shades of the Glazewear lip glosses (Iced Pink, Mocha Latte, Rich Brown, and Perfect Nude). I just recently acquired the Clear and Creamy Nude which should be arriving in a couple of days (you’re beginning to see I have a problem, aren’t you?).
At any rate, I like the fact that this lip gloss is very lightweight. To put it simply, it is a very “clean” lip gloss. By clean, I mean that it isn’t heavy, it doesn’t stick and it’s not runny. You hardly notice that you are wearing any at all. The coverage is sheer but you can definitely tell that you’re wearing lip color. When I apply the Mocha Latte or Rich Brown, people ask what “lipstick” am I wearing (yes, it’s sheer coverage but noticeable).
Final judgement: I love this lip gloss. I feel it’s very appropriate for the workplace by adding a hint of femininity without being too aggressive/arrogant. It’s a nice, subtle touch. Perfect for no makeup days and very “natural” days.
Avon True Color Glossy Tube Lip Gloss in Dreamy Peach and Natural Nude
Avon True Color Glossy Tube Lip Gloss in Dreamy Peach and Natural Nude
In comparison to the Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss (listed above), I’d have to say this is “heavy duty.” The lip gloss seems slightly more heavy as it delivers more gloss and pigmentation. According to Avon, it’s infused with vitamins. Prior to today, I owned one shade of this lip gloss in a very pigmented pastel pink. It smelled like cotton candy 🙂
The Glossy Tube really does deliver when it says shine. I feel as though you can skate on this lip gloss. It’s not oily and doesn’t even contain oil. This lipstick puts me back in the mindset of “my lip gloss is popping.” This is truly a gloss for those that want to be seen and noticed, from a distance.
Final judgment: this is my absolute fave! Now remember, I am that girl that loves the roller ball lip gloss. What’s the point of wearing makeup if no one can notice it? Yep! That’s me! This lip gloss differently grabs attention and though it’s sheer coverage, it’s easily build-able.

The two things that I noticed about these lip glosses are the smell and the ability to “hook-up.” The lip glosses have a very soft candy-like scent. It’s not overpowering but noticeable. I love the idea of hook-ups as you can hook-up any mark. product and carry two products versus one. For example, you can attach your eyeliner to a lip gloss and have one solid piece versus fiddling through your purse for both products.
The consistency reminds me of the Glossy Tube Lip Gloss. Major differences would be the shades available, the applicator (tube vs doe foot applicator) and mark. seems to have more glitter/sparkly but other than that, it really comes down to a matter of personal preference. I can see myself using either.

For best effect, it’s good to use a primer before applying the shades.

Welcome to Campaign 12, 2016 or should I say Aloha? What??? You’re not in Hawaii. Why are you saying Aloha?
With the new Mark. Maui Bliss Collection, you’d swear you were on some type of island. Just in time for summer, Mark. has really stepped its game up with the introduction of the All is Palm Maxi Dress, matching accessories, fragrance and of course — MAKEUP. I had to try it out. My inner islander wouldn’t let me rest. To appease her, I decided to purchase the Mark. Sunset Glow Face Bronzer, Mark. Hawaii Five Oh! Eyeshadow Compact and Mark. Sea And Be Seen Beach Bag.
I must say I REALLY LOVE MARK. I did a quick swatch of the face bronzer and OMG. The pigmentation is AH-MAZING! The Mark. Hawaii Five Oh! has such beautiful colors. I’ve been wearing my beach bag since I purchased it even though I haven’t been to the beach.
I’m a hoarder and this beach bag gives me the perfect amount of space needed. I’ve been able to keep brochures, all of my personal makeup, wallet and more.
