Avon Mark Lip Prism Lipstick Collection

8/22/2019

In this age of matte lippies, we forget that there’s also an appeal of glossy and shiny lip. Back in the day, I was never a fan of matte lipsticks, actually even until now- for normal days, I would skip the mattes just because they tend to dry out my lips rather dramatically. In comes Avon with their Mark Lip Prism lipstick collection that gives you 4,000 prismatic pearls that shine with every move, creating a show-stopping look that lasts for hours.

What’s quite unique about this line is the use of Pearl Elixir technology to capture light as you move, for lips that shine with a multi-reflective finish.

Let’s first talk about the packaging:

It comes in a very sparkly black/purpler tube. The shimmers remind me of the galaxy. It looks quite elegant if you ask me. There’s also the Avon logo and the shade is at the bottom.

Once opened, you’ll see that the lipstick itself is embossed with “Mark”.

They come in a variety of colors so there’s definitely something that would suit every mood and every occasion.

P14 Hyer Fusion, P03 Futuristic Dreams, P06 Aura On, P07 Energy Flash, P08 Reflective Scandal

P11 Nude Eclipse, P13 Interstellar Love, P02 Celestial Crush, P05 Blast Off

Here are the swatches:

Based on the photos above, you could really tell that I’m enjoying that glossy reflective finish thanks to Avon’s exclusive Pearl Elixir technology. It really does make the lips stand out right? And for a person like me who don’t wear much makeup, you’d probably like it because it gives such focus on the lips. Plus points for those who find that their lips are best asset! 🙂

This lipstick line isn’t as opaque as other lipsticks I have tried. It takes about 2-3 swipes to get a decent pigment. It’s very easy to apply though and glides very smoothly. And it’s very buildable too so you could really be as bold as you want.

The product is also moisturizing and it felt comforable on my lips even if I retouch it again and again. Now that’s another con, this isn’t a long wearing lipstick. If you drink or eat, it will definitely transfer and will not stay on. Reapplication is a must. The glitters also tend to transfer and if you wipe your lips, some will actually stay put on the lips which I found to be annoying when I don’t have any color anymore. If you don’t eat or drink however, it can stay on 4 hours no problem.

Overall this is a good lipstick collection. I love that the colors are very wearable and I definitely could see myself using it any time of day. It’s also pretty affordable at P299.00 a tube. I would recommend this to people who prefer to change up their lip colors in a day. Say a different shade in the morning for the office, another for drinks with friends and perhaps another shade for a hot date. This will definitely leave a lasting impression to people you meet. And you will definitely shine bright like a diamond!
