This is my second review of an Avon product (this week!), this time the lips get the exclusive lip smackin' low down!
Every Avon brochure that comes out round my workplace is always guaranteed a purchase by myself. I've been an Avon fan (and previously a rep) since my early teens and I know I can trust their products - both on price and quality.
Avon is pretty easy to get a hold of, so if no-one you know does it, I suggest you look up www.avon.com (sorry to state the obvious girls!).
This product is called Avon Colour Twist Pen. It's a brilliant way of getting a glossy pout - without looking like you've been in the chip pan (cheap glosses that scream 'porn star' just aren't my scene..)
When I first spotted it in the brochure which was just before Christmas it reminded me very much of the Ruby & Millie brand that I'd spotted at Fenwicks beauty counter. Too tight with my cash I decided against that purchase and found this little gem instead.
The packaging is a very sophisticated clear 'pen' with small blue writing on it. It shuts firmly with a satisfying 'click', so you know it wont come loose.
When you first open it the brush is bare of colour - to activate the gloss, look to the other end. The white end actually twists clockwise to start the flow of gloss. I say flow, but it only takes a couple of twists per application once you've got things going in the first place.
The brush makes it so easy to get a good application (even without a mirror) and it looks so expensive you'll be 'making up' in public from now on!
It tastes lovely too. Vanilla flavoured and not too slimy. This does last well, but I usually put a base of lip pencil in neutral on and go over it with this for work, so it lasts even longer.
The Avon Colour Twist Pen comes in 6 fab shades:-
Urban bliss - gold Peach fuzz - peach Smoulder - medium brown Elixir - damson Sunset - coral Pucker - darker brown
This is a make-up bag essential. Take it from Tickly!
