I don’t know exactly who invented matte lipsticks but I am really thankful they did. It definitely created a real madness. These days (almost) everyone has (or wants) a matte lipstick. For a rather long time, I’ve had this idea that if they are matte, they are not good for your lips, so I just refused to try one. Until a few months ago.
Avon Matte Lipsticks
I just received my order from AVON and I’ve also got a swatch of a pink matte lipstick from AVON’s new collection – I tried it and … I fell in love with it! Although they are matte, they are creamy and they don’t dry your lips (like I used to think). The package is stylish and elegant: matte black with a silver stripe. And the best of all? It lasts all day long! I could go an entire day (9am to 6pm) applying it just in the morning.
So, I ordered one of AVON’s best lipsticks (in my opinion). The first shade I chose was Adoring Love. A cute pinkish color. Then I wanted a red lipstick as well, so I’ve ordered Ravishing Rose. Finally, a few days ago I received my last order: another red lipstick (shade: Ruby Kiss). And now I have three different shades which I absolutely LOVE!
However, the weak point of this collection is that there is only one darker color. If I were able to decide, I would have added a few more and even a “crazy” color, like black, purple or blue. But the only darker shade is Berry Blast, which is still a cool shade so, I think that would be my fourth lipstick from this collection.
It is said that they are competing with MAC’s matte lipsticks, which are known to be the best. I’m not sure if they really are that good since I never tried those from MAC. So I cannot make a comparison, but I can say that these are a great, cheaper alternative.
What do you think? Have you tried any of these?
P.S. As you can see in the image, together with my lipsticks I’ve also ordered a LUXE foundation with protection factor for those sunny summer days and a nail spray which helps the nail polish dry faster.

Are these the same lipsticks that were in the UK taxi cab advert? Where girls tried them on and were told at the end of the ride that it was Avon and they were really surprised because of the quality?
The lip xolours look beautiful and easy, not so shouty but something for the classy females.
I would love to try Avon lipsticks and these matte colors are definitely enticing.
It’s been years since I’ve used or bought Avon but they always had really great products at affordable prices. Since I have gotten older I am obsessed with matte products of any kind as they make those laugh lines less noticeable. Now that you’ve share this I will definitely look into the product.
Classy, sexy and shimmery! I just love this lipstick line 🙂
I haven’t tried any of this brand yet. I have tried MAC matte. But that is a bit to dry on my lips. If I would try one of these I would pick Vibrant Melon.
Avon has so many great things! I always buy something when my Avon lady brings catalog.
Very nice but sadly I can’t wear lipstick as it bring me out in a rash. xx
Oh , Avon is back ! Well , back for me . I love Avon , it is just very difficult to find where I am living now. My mum used to sell Avon when I was a schoolkid , think about ! What a great brand that is . I always used to buy their perfumes , they were so lovely and not expensive. Now I got stuck on wanting my Avon perfume , LOL . I saw somewhere something about your holidays ?! Hope , you had/will have a great time !
I also loved their perfumes! Also their shower gels and body lotions!
I haven’t tried matte lipstick. How are they different from normal lipstick?
