In this review I will be reviewing and comparing two drugstore lipsticks that are affordable to purchase and which are from two different brands, but are similar in colour.
The first lipstick is Avon Extra Lasting Lipstick in the colour Ravishing Rose, this lipstick is from the brand Avon, there are other colours available in pink, brown and red. This lipstick includes SPF15 and claims to last up to 8 hours even though it is not matte. You can purchase this from Avon online or if you have Avon brochures.
The second lipstick is Natural Inkane Lipstick in the colour 616, this is a lipstick not made in the UK it is an Asian lipstick, unfortunately I just checked and the website currently do not sell this lipstick anymore, instead it has been replaced with others.
Price- The Avon lipstick I purchased when it was on offer for £4.00, however Avon do keep on changing prices up and down so the price for this lipstick is not a fixed price. The Inkane Lipstick I purchased for nearly half of the Avon lipstick price which was £2.10.
Scent- The Inkane Lipstick surprisingly does not have a scent to it at all when applied on the lips it does not smell of anything. The Avon lipstick when smelt smells very sweet somewhat like sweet raspberries, when applying the lipstick on the lips you can smell it, but I like the smell it smells sweet.
Quality- The Avon lipstick is an extra lasting lipstick as it claims to be, it can last more longer than the other lipstick but I would say it does not last 8 hours as it does smudge off when you eat or drink something and does transfer, and it feels very moisturising when applied. However, the Inkane lipstick has glitter in the formula, so when applied glitter will also appear and can sometimes smudge to other parts of the face which is something I do not like about it, but they do have other lipsticks too in that collection which do not include glitter, for example the colour 607 is a neutral colour.
Packaging- The packaging for the Inkane lipstick I think looks beautiful with the silver gems stuck on the packaging makes it look really appealing. The packaging for the Avon lipstick is pretty simple it is red and has extra lasting written on the lid of the lipstick.
The finishing look for the Inkane Lipstick looks lovely it gives me a glossy shiny look on the lips, and the Avon lipstick really gives my lips the red colour and it feels very soft on the lips. Both lipsticks are pretty enough the same colour the only difference is that the Avon lipstick is more pigmented in colour and when applied on the lips it actually looks more of a lighter red than the actual lipstick colour, the Inkane lipstick has more glitter to it whereas the Avon lipstick does not at all.
Overall, I enjoyed using these lipsticks and will recommend them when looking to purchase affordable lipsticks.
