Avon Hidrokolor lipsticks

Hello beautiful!
I was going through my make-up collection today, thinking what should I review. I looked at my favourite Avon lipsticks - Hidrokolor lipsticks - and the search was over! Two of them I bought when they came out, and the third one and the testers I bought maybe 2 months ago. Because of that, it is visible on pictures that they were used (the two older ones were properly used :P ) and I apologize if that bothers anyone, but I consider that describing texture and showing swatches is much more important than untouched products. :)

Pozdrav ljepotice!
Danas sam prekapala po svojoj make-up kolekciji, razmišljajući o tome što bih mogla recenzirati. Pogled mi je pao na moje omiljene Avon ruževe - Hidrokolor ruževe - i potraga je bila završena! Dva od njih sam nabavila čim je ova linija izašla, a treći i testere još nekih nijansi sam kupila prije možda 2 mjeseca. Zbog toga se na slikama vidi da su korišteni (ova 2 starija su dobrano korištena :P ) i ispričavam se ako to nekome smeta, ali mislim da je najvažnije da vam opišem teksturu i pokažem swatcheve od toga da izgledaju netaknuti na slikama. :)

The lipsticks are in recognizable black Avon packaging, that I adore because it's practical, solid and elegant. You don't have to be afraid that it will open or untwist in the bag. You get 3,6 g and it comes in 32 shades, and in the latest catalog they added 3 new shades and also 3 limited edition shades. The selection is really wide and I am sure everyone will be able to find a shade for himself! Price varies from campaign to campaign, currently they are around 5$ and limited edition around 6$. (here you can see  an offer from current catalog in Croatia)

Ruževi su u prepoznatljivom Avonovom crnom pakiranju, koje ja jako volim jer je praktično, čvrsto i elegantno. Nema bojazni da će se ruž otvoriti ili odvrnuti u torbi. Količina ruža koji se dobije je 3,6 g i dolazi u 32 nijanse, s tim da su u posljednjem katalogu dodali još 3 nove nijanse i 3 limitirane nijanse. Izbor je zaista ogroman i sigurna sam da će svatko moći naći nijansu za sebe! Cijena im varira o kampanji, trenutno su 29 kn, a limitirana izdanja 35 kn.

Lava Love, Proper Pink, Oxford Wine

Carnation, Hibiscus, Twinkle Pink

The texture is creamy, they are pliable, easy to apply and they glide down the lips nicely. Although they are creamy, I haven't noticed that they diffuse trough the edge of the lip, so it's not necessary to apply your lip liner when wearing them. Lasting is, like in most creamy lipstick, not so durable, they last on me for 2 or 3 hours with talking and drinking, but you have to reapply them after eating. Pigmentation is medium, after first application it gives nice colour, but if you want colour to be full and intense, you have to apply it 2 or 3 times.

Tekstura im je kremasta, podatni su i  se lako nanose, te lijepo klize po usnama. Iako su kremasti, nisam zamijetila da mi se prelijevaju preko ruba usana te nije nužno koristiti olovku za usne uz njih. Kao kod većine kremastih ruževa, trajnost im je slabija, meni izdrže oko 2-3 sata pričanja i pijenja, a nakon jedenja ih je potrebno popraviti. Pigmentacija im je srednja, nakon prvog nanosa daju lijepu boju, no ako želite da bude malo intenzivnija, potrebno je proći 2-3 puta po usnama.

I own following shades: Lava Love, Proper Pink and Oxford Wine in full size packaging, and Carnation, Hibiscus and Twinkle Pink as testers.
The first shade is Lava Love. Beautiful red-coral-orange shade, it's really something! What I like about it is that it's not classic red or classic orange, it's somewhere in the middle.

Nijanse koje ja posjedujem su Lava Love, Proper Pink i Oxford Wine u full size pakiranjima, te Carnation, Hibiscus i Twinkle Pink kao testere.
Prva nijansa je Lava Love. Meni prekrasna crveno-koraljno-narančasta nijansa, zbilja je posebna. Kod nje volim to što nije ni klasična crvena, a ni klasična narančasta, već je zbilja u sredini.

Lava Love

Proper Pink is wonderful rosey nude cool shade. You have to prepare your lips really good for it because it likes to draw into wrinkles on the lips and emphasize irregularity of lips. Also, I would recommend it for fair girls only, it doesn't suit dark girls :/

Proper Pink je divna hladna roskasta nude nijansa. Za nju usne moraju biti savršeno pripremljene jer se zna uvlačiti u borice i jako ukazuje na nepravilnosti na usnama. Također, preporučila bih ju samo curama koje imaju svijetli ten jer tamnoputim curama nikako ne stoji :/

Proper Pink

Oxford Wine is my absolute favourite! Deep plum shade with a bit of purple, perfect for autumn! It will be loved by both girly girls and goth girls.

Oxford Wine je moj favorit, definitivno! Duboka šljivasta nijansa s daškom ljubičaste, savršena je za ovo jesensko doba! Voljet će ju i šminkerice i darkerice!

Oxford Wine

Let's begin with testers. Carnation is pinky nude shade with warm undertone. It freshens up the lips, it's not blatant and is perfect for ''no make-up'' make-up. :)

Krećemo na testere. Nijansa Carnation je pinky nude s toplim podtonom. Osvježi usne, a nije napadna i savršena je za 'no make-up' make-up. :)

Carnation

Hibiscus is a pink shade with a bit of red undertone. It's great because it can be buildable to almost screaming shade, or you can lightly apply it and you get slightly pinky lips. It suits perfectly with black eyeliner, mascara and blush. Not much effort, but effective!

Hibiscus je pink nijansa s laganim crvenim podtonom. Odlična je jer se može nadograditi do gotovo vrišteće nijasnse, a možete ju i lagano utapkati u usta i dobijete lagano rumena pinky usta. Savršeno ide uz crni eyeliner, maskaru i malo rumenila. Bez previše truda, a efektivno!

Hibiscus

And for the end, Twinkle Pink. The only shade that has a bit of shimmer in it, which I don't particularly like, not a fan of shimmer on the lips. Not my piece of cake! If you like shimmer, it's a nice nude shade that will raise up the look and be inconspicuous.

I za kraj, Twinkle Pink. Jedina nijasna koja ima lagani shimmer u sebi, što se meni baš i ne sviđa jer nisam baš ljubitelj shimmera na usnama. Not my piece of cake! Ako volite shimmer, lijepa je nude nijansa koja će podignuti look, a opet biti neupadljiva.

Twinkle Pink
