Avon Ultra Color Lipsticks & Ultra Colour Lip Crayon

I think we can all agree that Autumn-like atmosphere can be easily recreated with the help of a new lipstick or a nail polish in a suiting shade. That's basically the most effective and the cheapest way to transition our makeup looks for the new season. Not to mention the excitement, the rush of purchasing a new lippie. No matter how many I do own, I can always find an excuse to get something new and completely ruin my own makeup clearout rules *please don't think less of me because of this*

I've recently been testing three new shades from a classic Avon lippie range and a stunning lip crayon that comes in the juiciest of plum shades. I've noticed that I'm becoming either a nude lip girl or I'm wearing a bold, dark lip. That's how I roll during these past two months or so and out of four new Avon lip goodies, I'll be keeping two for myself and stashing the remaining two for a friend or a future blog sale.

• Mislim da cemo se sloziti kako je najlakse rekreirati jesenje tonove dodatkom novog ruza za usne ili laka za nokte u odgovarajucim, sezonskim nijansama. To bi ujedno bio i najefektivniji ali i najjeftiniji nacin za tranziciju u novo godisnje doba. U prilog tome cu dodati cisti uzitak kupovine novog ruza jer, koliko god da ih imam u kolekciji, ipak nije toliko tesko smisliti izgovor da se nabavi jos koji i da u potpunosti prekrsim vlastita pravila o nepovecavanju kolicine kozmetike *molim da mi ne sudite zbog ove slabosti*
• Nedavno sam kroz svoju testing masinu provela tri nove nijanse iz klasicne Avon linije ruzeva te fantasticnu ‘debeljucu’ ruz u slasnoj nijansi sljive.
• Po pitanju preferenci, primjetila sam da ili nosim ruzeve boje koze ili cu se odluciti za tamniju nijansu. To je neka rutina koju imam posljednja dva mjeseca a u nju se uklapaju dva ruza od ukupno cetiri Avon noviteta dok cu preostala dva sacuvati za prijateljicu ili buduci blog sale.

Avon Ultra Color Lipstick range has been expanded with three metallic autumnal shades. Packaging looks same as usual with the addition of bronze accents in combination with the black casing. 

My fave is the Burnished Red lippie which is a terracotta hue – warm brown with slightly reddish undertones. It's beautifully moisturizing and pigmented. It applies evenly and makes lips looks juicy and lush due to its fantastic creamy texture. It actually lasts for a bit more than 3h on me which I find to be amazing for such a creamy lippie. It can even be dabbed into lips as a stain. I've already incorporated it in my beauty bag and it's staying there in the foreseeable future. 

I'm not as enamoured with the remaining two shades, though. Sparkling Bronze is quite literally bronze sparkles aka shimmer mixed with a sheer wash of bronze color. Pigmentation isn't there, I can feel the shimmer on my lips giving this lipstick a chunky texture which I don't like. Golden Nude is a bit better in terms that it contains smaller shimmer particles but the overall effect is a bit on the frosty side. Pair this with a pale gold color and I get a lippie which makes my complexion look drained.

Luckily, this batch of lippies was saved by the Avon Ultra Colour Lip Crayon in Wild Orchid. This is absolutely stunning! The chubby stick packaging actually looks cool and well made. I'm pleased that it's not a lip crayon that needs sharpening as you only twist it up or down. The color is absolutely a beautiful combo of plummy and dark purple tones – totally wearable. It's of a slightly tacky texture which makes it adhere to lips perfectly giving almost 5h of wear on my lips. I'm very pleased with it and alongside with Burnished Red is my top pick from the bunch. 

Are you a team red or team purple of the autumnal lipstick brigade?

• Avon Ultra Color linija ruzeva (6,90KM) je obogacena sa nove tri metalik jesenje nijanse. Pakovanje je u skladu sa prethodnim izdanjima – uz jednu razliku a to su bronzani detalji kao kontrast inace crnom pakovanju.
• Meni najdraza od tri nove nijanse je Burnished Red koju bih opisala kao terakota toplu smedju boju crvenkastog podtona. Ruz je krasno hidratantan i pigmentiran. Nanosi se ujednaceno i divno njeguje usne, odrzavajuci ih mekanim i njegovanim zahvaljujuci kremastoj teksturi. Na mojim usnama traje cak nesto duze od 3h – iznenadjujuce za kremasti ruz. Cak ga nekada utapkam jagodicama u usne kada djeluje kao ‘stain’. Otkako je usao u moj neseser, ovaj divni ruz ne prestaje da me odusevljava.
• Voljela bih da sam podjednako impresionirana sa preostale dvije nijanse, no to nije slucaj. Sparkling Bronze je doslovno bronzani shimmer. Pigmentacija je jako slaba, shimmer osjetim na usnama i daje ruzu prilicno neravnu teksturu sto mi se nije dopalo. Golden Nude je malo ugodniji u smislu da je shimmer koji sadrzi dosta sitniji no uopsteni dojam koji ima na usnama je pomalo ‘frosty’. U kombinaciji sa blijedo zlatnom bojom, ovaj efekat mi djeluje pomalo demode a i cini mi ten blijedim.
• Ono sto je spasilo prosjek ove grupice ruzeva je Avon Ultra Colour ruz u olovci u nijansi Wild Orchid (8,90KM). Samo cu reci kako je ovo divan proizvod! Pakovanje ‘debeljuce’ je lijepo i kvalitetno uradjeno. Drago mi je sto ovaj ruz u olovci nije potrebno siljiti vec funkcionise na odvrtanje. Sama boja ruza je izuzetno lijepa kombinacija ljubicaste i tamnije nijanse sljive – i definitivno nosiva. Blago je ljepljive teksture po nanosenju zahvaljujuci cemu odlicno prijanja uz kozu i pruza trajnost od gotovo 5h. Izuzetno sam zadovoljna i ovo je, uz Burnished Red ruz, moj favorit iz ove grupice.
• Kojoj nijansi ruzeva naginjete tokom jeseni – crvenim ili ljubicastim tonovima?
