Review: Avon Creme Legend Lipstick - Iconic

I am almost always impressed with Avon lipsticks. Every new range that they come out with, is usually a success in my book, especially if I like the general description of formula. Creme Legend is their newest range of lipsticks with creme finish and build in primer. It's your best bet for everyday creamy comfortable lipstick.



Packaging

This packaging is the same as the first ever lipstick I bought from Avon, except that one was silver. It's gold geometric packaging with sleek design. Bullet has tear shape on the top which should mimic makeup brushes to make application as easy as possible and it works. 

In it is 3.6 grams of product and it usually costs 4.90€.


Formula

It's creamy formula which goes on in one swipe and leaves good payoff of color. Pigmentation is very nice. It's one of those lightweight formulas. Finish is creme with a bit of a sheen which tends to fade, if you have very dry lips.

Lipstick has that signature sweet fruity Avon scent



Colors

You can choose among 11 colors and it's the usual roundup of some nudes, reds, pinks and mauves. I took a closer look of three nudes and based on online swatches decided that Iconic will suit my taste the most, though Adore seemed nice to.

Iconic is light to medium dirty mauve with brownish tone to it. It's one of those shades that will suit most skin tones. 


Comparison

Avon Creme Legend Iconic - light to medium dirty mauve with brownish tone
Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor Forever - the most similar to Iconic, just slightly more brown toned mauve
Avon True Supreme Nourishing Lipstick Nurturing Nude - lighter and warmer brownish pink mauve
Avon Plump It Lipstick Choco Latte - darker chocolate brown with mauve tone to it
Avon True Perfectly Matte Lipstick Nude Suede - also similar to Iconic, but more pink tone


Performance

It's one of those lightweight modern lipstick formulas which fees very comfortable and soothing on the lips. It glides over any dry patches and sticks to the lips well. Because it's creme finish it won't be transfer proof and you need to touch it up after a meal, but that doesn't bother me at all. I prefer comfort over staying power any day. 


I absolutely adore when Avon does these creamy lipsticks, because they always feel so comfortable on the lips, have good color payoff and are in general lightweight. I just wish their range would include more nudes. After all, those are the ones that sell the best. Creme Legend is another formula that I love to wear and Iconic is one of those wearable nudes that goes with every makeup look. I love it. I may get Adore as well.
