Review: Avon Ultra Color Indulgence lipstick Honey Flower and Peach Petunia

Hey Beauties!

As promised, here are separate reviews for full version Avon Ultra Color Lipsticks. You've seen me mentioning these lipsticks a lot of times on my Instagram as well, bu they really are that good. I did get a lot of testers, but I decided I absolutely need to buy some full versions. I got Honey Flower and Peach Petunia and I think I scored. You let me know, what you think ;).


The packaging is not something I would say is this lipstick's forte. It's actually plastic shiny black, good, but nothing extraordinary. I find that it snaps good for now, but it feels like it might get looser after time. It's also very slim as is the bullet, which is great for a very precise application. Because let's be real, not many of us have luscious big lips. 

The lipsticks currently cost 4.50€ (full price is 8.50€) and you get 3 grams of lipstick. I think the price is pretty amazing for such a good formula.


I have actually already made swatch of Honey Flower, but I wanted to feature it here too. It's one of those shades that would appeal to many, because the shade is a mixture of pink, brown and peach. It's actually peachier and more pigmented version of MAC's Patisserie. 


Here you can see that MAC Patisserie is a bit pinkier and sheerer than Avon Honey Flower. If you find Patisserie too pink and sheer, than you might find a good match in Honey Flower.




This is a bit brighter neutral shade on me. I like it, because it gives me some color, but doesn't look too brown or dark on me. It's the perfect neutral, but kind of colorful shade. 


Peach Petunia is my new favorite lipstick shade. It's a very bright coral shade, that looks like a mixture of pink and orange. Surprisingly it looks more orange on me. I guess it depends on what skin tone you have.



I love this shade, because it's a nice more toned down variation of bright red lips. It's one of those shades that will instantly brighten up your complexion and give you some color. You can make it brighter by applying more.


The formula of these lipsticks is gel formula, but it's very pigmented for a moisturizing lipstick. It's one of those rare formulas that never dries out my lips (and I do have really dry lips in general) and it glides on the lips like a dream. It doesn't go over the lines and you can absolutely wear it without lip liner. It gives you a little bit of shine, but is also really pigmented. One swipe leaves a really nice bright shade. By applying more you can intensify the shade, but you'll also be risking it smudging over the lip line a little. I find that this fades really evenly. I drank and ate and it did came off in the middle, but that's normal for that kind of formula. Just reapply and you're good to go. I really recommend this formula to anyone who has extremely dry lips and likes well pigmented lipsticks in a variety of shaded.


The color range is huge and I'm sure everyone will find something. I do think they lack very neutral shades, so just be aware that all the shades have a bit color to them. 

I've already swatched most of the shade. First par is here and the second is here.

Review: Avon Ultra Color Indulgence lipsticks

Hey Beauties!

Avon has launched new line of lipsticks. I decided to purchase testers of few shades. Avon Ultra Color Indulgence lipsticks intrigued me, because of their moisturizing gel formula. As much as I love matte finish lipsticks, they do tend to dry out my lips. Don't even get me started on the state of my lips right now. Sahara has nothing on me and you'll even see that on some of the photos from this post.


I chose five shades and those are Honey Flower, Red Tulip, Rose Bouquet, Red Dahlia and Chocolate Rose. I've just realized right now that they all have flower names. 

Those testers cost 0.25€ each and for those of you who didn't know that, you can ask a person that orders your Avon products, to order you some lipstick testers. Most of the lipsticks that are in the current catalog have testers available as well.

Full size lipsticks will currently cost 4.90€ and contain 3 grams of product.



Honey Flower is a subtle peach nude shade. It's warm toned and nicely pigmented. 





Red Tulip is a vibrant classic red shade. I find it to be classically blue toned, but very vibrant in color. It's also super pigmented. 





Rose Bouquet is a warm toned rose shade, that seems to have purple and brown undertones to it. It's a very muted almost mauve shade.  It's also nicely pigmented.





Red Dahlia is a dark whine red shade. It's actually not as pigmented as most of the other shades. I think this line can be problematic with darker shades. Also because the moisturizing formula may lack in the pigmentation department when it comes to dark shades. The shade is more on the cool side.





Chocolate Rose is, as the name suggests, a chocolate deep brown with red undertones. It's definitely warm toned and the least pigmented of all the shades. In fact, I think the pigmentation might be a problem with this shade. Unless you have naturally really dark lips, then this will just add some moisture and shine.





The formula is an absolute dream. It slides on the lips effortlessly. It feels really nice and it doesn't dry out the lips at all. I find the gel formula to give a really nice shine and comfort on the lips. It's also non sticky. Seriously love the formula of these lipsticks. A dream to wear. I just think with moisturizing lip shades it's always safer with lighter shades. Because darker shades seem to be lees pigmented, therefore can look more patchy on the lips. This will stuck on dry patches. However, it's a dream formula for those of us who tend to get really dry lips. Now, I just wish I would order more neutral shades and that the range would actually offer more nude shades.
