Avon’s new Moisture Seduction lipsticks launch today and they are quite unusual; lipcolours with ribbons of moisturising balm swirled through them. I have been trying mine out since way back in November, just as the weather was starting to turn very cold, and they really are nice and moisturising. What makes them different to the usual ‘balm-lipstick’ hybrid is that they’re not at all sheer – the colours are bold and vibrant and can be built up to very striking effect. If you have a look at my Flu Face video,  you’ll see that (apart from me having crazy woman hair) I’m wearing a rather daring pink on my lips. That’s Moisture Seduction, and so is the lipstick that I’m wearing today, which obviously you can’t see. My favourite shade is ‘Nude Perfection’ and if I’m entirely honest with myself, that’s probably the only shade that I would wear on a regular basis, being the safe and boring lipstick wearer that I am!

Avon’s Moisture Seduction Lipsticks are £8.50 each from Avon.
