If fuchsia isn't your lipstick game, how about a creamier, petal pink?

This new lippie looks in-yer-face in its tube, but delivers instead this confident pretty hue. Given my love of bright lip colour, I thought it would be a bit tame for me. But not at all; I'm quite enjoying this softer shade of power pink. It looks fresh. (Weird: for me the gateway to petal pink was fuchsia.)

The diamond-shaped bullet is a bit disconcerting, but helps to get a nice edge without liner. Enriched with Vitamin E, moisture-attracting honey, and aloe extracts too, the formula feels comfortable and wears pretty well.

Obvi less electric than its shade-name suggests, this is Avon Color Precise Lipstick in Fuchsia Finish, $9.99 at avon.ca.
