I was thrilled to have received the latest addition to the Avon Dare to be Bold family, the Ultra Colour bold Lipstick in Pink Punch (Retailing at R139.95) and the Big and Daring Volume Mascara in Brown Black (Retailing at R129.95).
First off, the Pink Punch lipstick was really not a colour I would normally pick for myself, I’m more of a Bare Impact or Starburst Pink kinda gal, but I was willing to accept the challenge.
The lipstick comes in a lovely easy to open shine black container, and the burst of colour is amazing. It’s one of Avon’s boldest lip colours yet with 50% more pigments packed in every lipstick vs traditional Avon lipsticks. The colour stays on for hours and I have received numerous compliments from friends and family members every time I’ve put it on. So it makes me feel quite Bold when I’m wearing this. When using my Pink Punch lipstick I try to town down my eye shadow as if you apply to heavy eye makeup you may look like a Transvestite!
It’s a brilliant, vibrant and intense colour that you achieve in just one application and it’s on special now for only R69.95 in your latest Avon brochure.
Secondly I received the Big & Daring volume mascara in Brown Black which also is not my usual pick as I normally opt for the black shades. The packaging is very modern and chic with the wedge shaped bristles it promises to give you a 360’ explosive lash volume.
I find that one coat of mascara was not enough to create that Explosive look so I used 2 coats every time, and I have to say the curved brush gave me explosive clump-free volume. I had no smudging or flaking at all and it resisted heat and humidity quite well on the days I’ve worn it.
The Volume Mascara is also on special now for R64.95 in your latest Avon catalogue.
All in all I can recommend these two products, and I would love to try out the other shades in these ranges.
