My Pros

• Glides on smoothly
• Instantly felt my lips being moisturized
• Lips felt soft & plump all day long
• Available in a variety of different shades (browns, reds, purples, etc)

My Cons

• More of a sheer color- when applied it looks lighter then the product
• Variety of shades have been discontinued with no Beyond Color Lipstick color to replace it.

Reviews

One of the many benefits of shopping Avon online is that you are able to check out what other customers have to say about a product. Here are what some customers said about Beyond Color Lipstick.

Pat from Albuquerque, NM: 5/5 Stars

“This is a great lipstick. Should have bought it a long time ago. I purchased two colors. Love the color, love the feel, love that it lasts pretty much all day. I work long days and I can still feel it at night when I take my makeup off. Love it. It was delivered by mail on the hottest day of the year. Thought they would be melted. But to my surprise they were perfect! Wow what a product. I’ve been using Avon products over 40 years. LOVE IT!”

Steph R. from New Jersey: 5/5 Stars

“I love this lipstick. I was looking for a moisturing lipstick and previously purchased a very expensive brand but was very disappointed. I remember getting lip conditioner a while back and I thought I would try one and I loved it.”

MrsDoc from Merritt Island, FL: 3/5 Stars

“I’ve tried many colors, but the Beige Illusion was the best for coverage and conditioning, for some reason. The pigmentation was better than the others and my lips felt so soft. Since the change in the container and the elimination of that color, something is different and not for the better. It doesn’t condition like it used to and the pigmentation isn’t has even. I bought so many of these thinking that they compared with the Beige Illusion…sadly, they don’t.”

Agape from Toccoa, GA: 5/5 Stars

“I have enjoyed wearing it this lipstick very. I wish it would stay on a little longer because I get busy and forget to reapply.”

TraceySlay from Detroit, MI: 1/5 Stars

“I LOVED THIS PRODUCT UNTIL THEY GOT RID OF MY COLOR! IVE BEEN USING IT FOR 13 years!!! I cant find anything even close to it… I still wear twig for daytime.. BUT SIENNA NEEDS TO COME BACK!!! BEST COLOR EVER!!!”

According to the Beyond Color Lipstick product page on www.avon.com, 92% of customers who reviewed the product would recommend this product to their friend & the average rating is 4.5 out of 5 stars.

My Final Thought:

When I first used this product, I was absolutely amazed how long my lips felt moisturized. Being a busy mom of 6 kids & working at home, I normally have to reapply my lipstick half way through the day. I don’t when I use Beyond Color Lipstick. I am not one to wear a bold or bright shade of lipstick on a daily basis. Currently I only have 1 shade, Mad for Mauve. This is my go to daily color since it goes perfectly with my natural makeup look that wear most of the time.

The only thing that has prevented me from purchasing more is the fact that it is more of a sheer lipstick & the shades that are currently available other then the one I all ready have, don’t really “speak to me” sort of thing. According to Beyond Color Lipstick product page on www.avon.com, here are a list of shades that are no longer available with a recommended replacement:

• Beige Shimmer –> Avon True Color Lipstick in Sparkling Nude
• Cocoa –> Avon True Color Lipstick in Iced Cocoa
• Chocolate Frosting –> Avon True Color Lipstick in Bronze Treasure
• Sienna –> Avon True Color Lipstick in Golden Berry
• Terracotta –> Avon True Color Lipstick in Rosewine

Avon True Color Lipstick is one of my alternative picks & as you can see, it seems like they have transferred some of Beyond Color‘s shades over to an Avon True Color Lipstick shade. 

I did notice the feeling of my lips feeling plumper, but personally I didn’t notice a physical change. I do have to admit though that I do like the way my lips look when I do have my Beyond Color Lipstick. I don’t know if its the plumping effect, the fact that they are moisturized or the combination of the two, but I really LOVE the way my lips look.

I would highly recommend this product to those who are looking to apply a sheer lipstick that will keep their lips moisturized all day long.
