I've always admired lipsticks on other people, but have been to scared to try them myself (for fear of looking like a clown). I'd been slowly gathering my nerve to finally buy myself one when the opportunity to review the Avon Lip Crayons appeared. The colour crayons that I got were: Notice Me Nude, Showstopper Pink and Fresh Fuchsia.

Notice Me Nude
This one I liked the least, but funnily enough was the one I used the most. This was because it was barely visible on my lips. I had to re-apply it often as it was quick to fade. It is a good colour to wear everyday especially if you're aiming for a more subtle look.

Showstopper Pink
A showstopper alright. This bright pink colour is perfect for a girl's night or a special occasion. It was the first colour I tried and I wore it out to dinner and a music gig on Women's Day. I love it.

Fresh Fuchsia
I consider this a more subtle, but darker version of the showstopper pink. (Even my mother likes it). I like to wear this colour when I feel like stepping out of my comfort zone a little bit.

Overall, I like the lip crayons. It helps to wear lip balm as a base so your lips don't feel so dry. I like the fact that they shimmer and I actually prefer these crayons to normal lipstick. However, I don't like the residual glitter that stays on your lips after removing the lipstick. It's very difficult to remove. Until I figure out how to effectively remove, I just pretend it doesn't exist.

The price range is around R118. For more information on the lip crayons and other Avon products go to: www.avon.co.za
