A Little Thing...

Hey, Sorry i have not posted in ages but just not had enough time to do a post. I am going to try and do a group of posts and scatter them along the days.

This post is all about a little prize i won in a Youtube Giveaway...
It was an Avon Lipstick for Mother's Day but as my mum never wears lipstick.... IT'S MINE!
(Just to say i could not find a link for this lipstick on the actual website.)
The shade was called Shooting Star.
 On the side it says 'ColourTrend' which is Avon's Brand. It has loads of red spots with red roses.
 Here you can see it has clear plastic casing to protect the lipstick getting damaged in any way.

 The lipstick stick is actually quite short compared to others. This may be because of the shape of the lipstick. From this aspect you can see the lipstick shade is a deep orangey red.
 This is the bit i really love... The lipstick is shaped like a HEART! Which is really good for the theme 'Mothers Day'. You can also see a slight sheen when the camera flashed.
 When i swatched this on paper it had this really glossy finish and it came out in a really rose gold tint which is nice as it is coming towards summer!
Here you can see the same as the paper but you can see small golden flecks in the formula.
This is a quite subtle colour to have on your lips and good for people who just want a slight gloss on their lips but not really glossy where the sun reflect off it. The smell is like vanilla for me and the formula is very pigmented which is good.

What i love and hate about it;
Love - The colour! As i said before very subtle and non-drying to the lips.
Hate- Their is a slight aftertaste when you put it on which i don't like very much.

Thanks for following and reading my posts...
