Ultra Color Rich Extra Plump LipstickYour lips are always talking, even when you aren’t saying a word. So make sure they are sending the message you want. Depending on the colour and product you use, your lips can look bold and business-like, soft and innocent, or sensual and sexy. Avon has three new products for any look you want.
 
Ultra Color Rich Extra Plump Lipstick has a core of super-hydrating and plumping ingredients. According to our designated tester it feels fabulous and smells terrific. She looked fabulous in the Starlet Red. FYI darlings, red lipstick is a must-have for all fashionistas this fall! Starlet Red is a rich, but soft red that will flatter many skin tones and is easy to wear.
 
 SpectraColor Lipstick Customized lip color in a click is what you get with the new SpectraColor Lipstick from Avon. According to Avon there are seven shades of lip color packed into one sleek, innovative package. It’s a great idea — many shades for the price or one and no lipstick clutter in your bag.
 
It’s created for the woman who loves to change her look. Make-up artist Jill Dempsey gives the following tip:
 
“To make lips appear fuller, apply a darker shade first then click to the lighter shade and dab the center of your lower lip for eye-catching shine,” explains Jillian.
 
I am experienced make-upon editor, but I found it hard to find seven different shades of lipstick in this product. I could manage a light shade, dark shade, and something in between. That alone would appeal to many women who like a streamlined approach to make-up. The formula is rich and light with Vitamins A,C, and E. In texture it is between a lipstick and gloss; just what you want for youthful look and an easy-to-apply product. 
 
3-in-1 wand has options galore!My own favourite was the Pro 3-in-1 Lip Wand. I love the compact wand; it gives me a pencil, lipstick, and gloss all together. I regualrly use all three. I like the depth it gives my lips. That is what Avon resident celebrity make-up artist Jill Dempsey likes about it too. I find lip colour lasts for hours when I apply liner and lipstick under gloss. And I still have still get light, sexy look if I chose a beige-pink shade such as nude. Often, I just wear the liner and gloss for day or a quick swipe of lipstick – I love having all the options at hand – literally. This is worth waiting for, but you won’t have to wait long. It is out in July.

 Veteran make-up artist Susan Posnick created Coloressential lipsticks to provide women with a fool-proof way to select a flattering lip colour. Coloressential is a collection of five perfectly balanced shades that will look good on any woman. Editor Alice Farnsworth and I tried on the same shadeMilan, a red-brown. Alice is a pink person and I am a yellow. It looked better on Alice, but it worked for both of us. It is a matter of preference; I usually wear a pinky brown and would have worn the Dubai or Dallas happily.

 
The lipstick is formulated with unique ingredients; it has paracress, an African plant rich in antioxidants, pomegranate, olive, mineral, and Vitamins A and E. It feels fabulous. Alice says the staying power is terrific. I am eyeing a tube of Dubai and will get back to you! It costs $17 US.
