Tried and Tested: Avon Smooth Minerals Lipstick in Pink Quartz

It's raining makeup! And I finally got hold of one of Avon's Smooth Minerals line up which is the smooth minerals lipstick. I could not comprehend at first at how lipstick can become a mineral makeup as well. I thought they only apply to powders like foundation, blush-ons, etc. Avon says this lipstick is 100% natural.


This is me with the Avon Smooth Minerals Lipstick in Pink Quartz. Ignore my messy hair, I was trying a curling iron :)

It instantly made me girly! :) When I applied the lipstick, I had dry chappy lips without any lip balm. Avon's mineral lipstick is smooth and moisturizing so I had no problem applying it right away. So far, it's the softest lipstick I've tried and you can get carried away and apply too much x.x



The Avon Smooth Minerals Lipstick contains nurturing shea butter and conditioning oils to keep lips smooth and soft. Its exclusive mineral complex helps out bring out the lips’ vibrancy. It is fragrance free, dye free, preservative free enriched with vitamins and with SPF 15 to protect the lips.

What do you think? I have more colors but I see lots of celebs using pink lipstick, so pink it is! ^^

Tried and Tested: Avon's Ultra Moisture Rich 24k Gold Lipstick

The product name is a mouthful but after swiping Avon's UMR lipstick, your lips will never be the same again. As a non-lipstick user, my lips are almost virgin when it comes to lipstick. Most of the lipsticks I tried float on my lips and are so embarassingly obvious and awkward.



Today I tried Avon's Ultra Moisture Rich 24k Gold Lipstick in Golden Peach. My ignorance set in and I tried to put lip balm and powder foundation on my lips first before applying the lipstick itself. My lips looked super nude which was cool but my lips felt heavy and I am not sure if my foundation is edible?

So after I munched on some Greenwich pizza, everything was gone and I simply swiped on the Ultra Moisture Rich lipstick. I couldn't believe my eyes, it looked even better by itself and there is no need for special rituals (like putting powder on lips first). It matched my skin perfectly whilst still maintaining the nude color that I love.

The shine provided by the UMR lipstick is from its micro sparkling elements and not from a sticky glossy substance some lipsticks have. My lips didn't feel heavy and it was as if one is wearing nothing.


My instant collection of Avon's UMR lipstick, thank you Santa! :)

As for the staying power, some of my UMR lipstick transferred to my table napkin while enjoying desserts. Yet I think it is normal because of the swiping movement I do with my table napkin. I checked my glass and some lipstick also left a trace. And because I knew how great my lips look with the UMR, I hurriedly excused myself for a re-application :) It's as if I discovered lipstick for the first time. On another note, the UMR did not dry my lips or made it flaky.

I think this lipstick is going to be a mainstay in my makeup kit. Surprisingly, lipstick can also affect a lady's diet. Why? Because you wouldn't want your lipstick to be messed up by eating. I love it! :)
