Avon Ultra Color Lipsticks Matte Lily and Matte Garnet Review
If Lily is your fav character in HIMYM then raise your hand! Oh how I love that cunning dramatic little thing. Another Lily I totally love is Superwoman (watching her daily vlogs right now). There is another Lily in my life which I am absolutely addicted to and its the new Ultra Color matte lipstick from Avon. That along with Garnet is what I will review and swatch today. I’ve been using them for last 2-3 months non stop which just proves how much I love them.
Avon Claims: Avon Ultra matte Color Lipsticks moisturises the lips while putting a vivid, dramatic, color. Their velvety texture envelops the lips in full rich color without drying and has SPF 15
Avon Ultra Color Matte Lipstick Lily
Avon Matte Lily is a cool toned p ink with a hint of mauve in it. This sort of pink is right up my alley. I like my pink lipsticks
to be cool toned as they tend to brighten up my complexion. It would work for fair to medium skin tones. I am NC 40 and suits me really well but I guess if are above NC 42 then it might be a little too bright for you. I usually blot it a little to make it look matte which is how I like it more.
Avon Matte Garnet is a deep red with warm tones. It would work quite well for dusky Indian skin tones. I like my red lipsticks to be blue so I don’t reach for it often but if you are looking for a very deep and glossy red then its for you. Just one swipe and you have a rich opaque colour.

In terms of texture they are very very creamy (quite contrary to the name!) but I guess by matte Avon meant they don’t have any shimmer? These are my go to lipsticks when my lips are dry and I am too lazy to use a lip balm. These Avon lipsticks don’t settle in the lip lines and go on very rich and easy.
The staying power of the lipsticks is around 4-5 hours. Matte Lily doesn’t leave a stain behind but Matte Garnet leaves a deep red stain.

Pros of Avon Ultra Color Matte Lipsticks Lily and Garnet:
The creamy and hydrating texture
Pigmentation is incredible. Just one swipe is enough.
Never settle in lip lines
The staying power is pretty good for a creamy formula
The pink one brightens up my face and works as an everyday colour for me.
Red one is more deep and mature and apt for evenings.
Avon Ultra Color Matte Lipsticks Garnet and Lily:
Actually I can’t find anything which I don’t like. Ofcourse I would liked them to be matte as claimed but I am enjoying the creamy formula too.

So is it for you? Avon Ultra Color Matte Lipsticks are great budget buys if you love pigmented and creamy formulas. I love Lily more because it brightens up my face. They are an absolute delight for someone with dry lips because they literally feel like butter. I am usually a matte lip lover but these are so low maintenance that I have to recommend them!
This was quite a fun shoot. We went to Select City Walk for our weekly malling and since the weather was so good and location so romantic I took out my stuff and started taking pics. A whole lot of reviews coming up!
