Avon or I may have a lipstick issue

So, I recently made an order from Avon online, something I never really thought I'd type. When I was younger, ladies in the neighbourhood (weird wording there) used to hold little Avon parties and buy boring looking frosty pink lipstick in plain packaging. Because of this, I tend to associate it with (and excuse me for being blunt here) with older people. With mumsy mummies and ageing middle aged woman.

However, after seeing reviews of products on other posts I decided to give it a go. Plus, it's so cheap! Gotta love a cheap lipstick or two (saying that, I just made a rather expensive Nars order. Oops).

Anyway, here's the loot:

So, I got 3 lipsticks (buy one get two free!) 1 other lipstick (not on offer) and 2 eyeliner pencils which were only about £3 each. Uber cheap, and the dark brown liner is particularly lovely, really dark and pigmented.

I used the dark brown one this morning (actually called blackberry- the gold one is called golden fawn) and it has lasted all day. I used it on my top lash line, which I hardly ever do and need more practise with! Any advice on how to 'do it' properly (ie not get it all over the place) would be appreciated.

Here are the lovely lipstick shades:

This one's called Winter Wine. Really nice and pigmented, yet subtle at the same time. Really like this one, though I expected it to be darker from the name (like a plummy colour perhaps?) and the shade of the bullet itself.

This one's called 'Amethyst'. Again, another shade I am quite impressed with (especially as it was one of the free ones! And they were cheap to start with). It's a little more tangerine that the previous one. I like how all of the colours I ordered are similar, but different, which is more obvious in these photos. May need to consult these when deciding which one to wear in the morning as the colour on the bullet itself isn't always accurate.

Here's 'Pink Sunrise' which is a nudey pink, always a good staple to have. Plus, it doesn't mak me look dead, like some of my other nudes.

This one cost a bit more (at a pricey £3 ;) This is the ultra colour rich lipstick in 'Apricot Mystery'.

In bullet form.

It is very moisturising and feels great on dryish lips like mine. The colour is subtle in my opinion, but likeable.

So, all in all, I am VERY happy with my cheapie Avon order. And I may have a lipstick problem. When will I wear all of these? Well, everyday. And although they are quite similar colours, they are different too in their own beautiful way. Yes, that makes it ok then.
