Avon Ultra Color Rich ‘Patina’ Lipstick – Review, Photos and My First Lip Swatch

No, I didnt fight with it. While clicking the pictures, I accidently dropped it and it got a bit scalded. You get rich rich colour in a single swipe, its named so right.

The good: It stays on for 3-4 hours and after that leaves a nice stain behind, so it never makes my lips look like they have nothing on. Even though its not super moisturising, it doesn’t dry my lips either, may be because it has vitamin e and jojoba oil. The colour is a very rich mauve with a hint of pink.
I sometimes wear it as a tint since the colour is quite strong for everyday wear. Even as a tint, it stays on for a good no. of hours and make my lips naturally tinted with a deep shade of pink.

I don’t remember the price, but it was below Rs.200 ($4). I could not find it in their brochure but they have the full-size available with a different packaging, so may be you can find this one in it. It costs Rs.299 ($6).

Okay, so I got brave and did a lip swatch. You will now see a lot of these here on the blog, I still have to master the right angle, light and all that stuff. But for now, here is what I came up with. I took it in artificial light , the actual colour is a wee bit darker on lips. Refer to the hand swatch for the original colour.

Honestly this is one of the best lipsticks I’ve tried and would definitely re-purchase again.
