Last week, I dropped by the local
Avon outlet to get a few items for my sister-in-law. I really had no plans of buying anything for myself that time. But when I chanced upon this vivid shade of fuchsia in the makeup aisle, I just could not resist. And so I went ahead and bought a new lipstick for myself. Lol.
The shade I'm talking about is
Dream Fuchsia, from the
Ultra Color Lipstick line. It's the latest addition to Avon's ever-growing line of lipsticks.

| Dream Fuchsia, 3.5 grams. |
Now what's so special about this new line, you may ask? Avon's
Ultra Color Lipsticks boast of new shades, new formulation, and new packaging. Here's how the lipstick looks like with the seal intact.
 |
| Looking sleek. :) |
There's a window at the top, which allows you to see the shade of your lipstick. Of course, you can always refer to the bottom part, where the name/shade of the lipstick is written.
 |
| Peek-a-boo, I see you. |
Here's how
Dream Fuchsia looks like in actual.
 |
| I fell in love with the color at first sight. :) |
It's purplish-pink with blue undertones and super fine shimmers in it. And for a lipstick with sheer finish, this one has a nice wash of color. It's not exactly the kind of lipstick that I would wear during the day while taking my son to school, but this one would be perfect for evening parties (
or dates with the husband, lol) as the color is pretty vivid.

| See the tiny sparkles? |
Like all the other shades in the
Ultra Color Lipstick collection, this product comes equipped with the '
True Color Technology' - the color you see on the lipstick is the same color you'll get on your lips. The new formula also includes lip-nourishing ingredients such as shea butter, arctic berry, omega oil, and vitamin E that moisturizes the lips and makes it smooth and supple. Oh, and did I mention this product is
SPF15? :)
And now here's how Dream Fuchsia looks like when swatched, and worn.

| True Color, all right. |

| Love love love this shade of purplish pink! :) |
As for the price, it's currently being sold for
Php 249 a pop. (
Regular price is Php 379.) I'm an Avon lady so I actually got this for 25% less.
What I love:
- Sleek packaging.
- For a sheer lipstick, it's highly-pigmented.
- Beautiful purple-pink shade.
- Glides on your lips like a dream.
- Moisturizes the lips.
- Stays on the lips for about 4-5 hours.
- Has a subtle, sweet scent.
- SPF15.
What you might not like:
- It's not exactly a 'daytime lipstick'.
Have you tried this lipstick, or any other shade from the
Ultra Color line? Let me know what you think. :)
