Spotlight | Avon Over Nature Lipstick.

One of the perks of being a registered Avon dealer (yes folks, I am an Avon lady) is the privilege of purchasing up and coming Avon products before they are made available to the public. Case in point, the Over Nature Lipstick collection which will officially appear on Avon catalogs starting June 1.
Avon Over Nature lipsticks (plus the limited edition Over Nature makeup palette).
I was at the Avon office several days ago, where I had the opportunity to try the lippies and swatch the shades. Of course I didn't pass up the chance of buying a new lipstick (make that two new lipsticks) for myself.
New additions to my ever-growing lipstick collection. Haha! :)
Here's what Avon has to say about this new lipstick line:
Rich colors, luxurious moisture, and a fresh floral scent in one gorgeous package. Infused with wild orchid extract and wild rose oil for lips as soft as petal.
Extatique Hibiscus (left) and Pink Lily (right).
There are eight different shades in the Over Nature Lipstick collection, and I must say all of them were gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Limiting my choice to just two was quite a feat, actually. I had to stop myself from putting all eight shades in my shopping basket as I'm being frugal these days. Or at least I'm trying to be, haha.
Shades N07 and N13. 
Pink Lily is a lovely shade of pink with coral undertones. Great for everyday wear, this lipstick bears a resemblance to MUA Lip Boom in OMG - one of my favorite coral lipsticks.

Extatique Hibiscus, on the other hand, is a brighter, show-stopping shade of pink reminiscent of MAC's Candy Yum Yum. One swipe and I'm sold!

Now here are the swatches. This was the exact same photo I posted on my Instagram, which included the swatch of two other shades - Tender Tulip (purple with light pink undertones) and Tropical Coral (red orange).
From L-R: Extatique Hibiscus, Pink Lily, Tender Tulip, Tropical Coral.
What I love:
- Pretty packaging.
- Highly pigmented.
- Great color pay-off.
- Satin finish.
- Easy to apply.
- Moisturizes the lips.
- Has a mild, floral scent.
- Stays on for five to six hours, with a bit of eating and drinking.
- Affordable price.

What you might not like:
- None that I can think of. Seriously. :)
