I'm half Filipino and half Italian, so my skin colour is olive/wheatish and this lipstick looks very bright on me. Not a great bright, though, and definitely not suitable for day-time use. I guess if I were aiming for a whimsical night out, I'd wear it.
First, I love the formula of this lipstick. Not drying or heavy, but still gives you full coverage. It does leave a stain on my lips, of which I'm not fond, but it's not terrible. As far as the color is concerned, it's hard to describe. Some have described it as a warm pink, others as a pinky-red, or as a natural shade, and those are very accurate descriptions. This color is natural and bright, MLBB or deep. The name "Instant Mocha," is at odds with the shade. I expected this to be a pinky-brown, but I don't see any brown, yet it's still rather neutral. I gave it a 3 because the even though it's pretty and wearable, this is not the color I was looking for.

Avon Instant Mocha is the color I have consistently used for 25 years as my go-to shade. It really brightens up my face and goes with my skintone very well. It is definitely MLBB for me. It is versatile for both a natural look or an evening look depending on how I do my eye makeup.
Such a strange name for this color, as it is nowhere near being a mocha shade.
Instant Mocha is a warm pink, no shimmer, very natural looking with my coloring, brightens up my whole face. It's a very versatile color. I usually dab it on a finger tip and tap it onto my lips for a natural looking flush. Applied heavily from the tube can be a little much for me, too bright, but used lightly, it's a "my lips but MUCH MUCH better" sort of color.
When I am really in a hurry, I can dab this onto my lips and a little on the apples of my cheeks, put on a few swipes of mascara, and I look great, bright and cheerful. I've been using it for about 10 years, maybe more. Cheap too, esp. when on sale.
very nice pink colour and suitable for my very fair skin compeletely. No dryness i have, have a try!
Instant Mocha is the name of this lipstick but I don't see much mocha in it. I see a beautiful bright, clear red-pink color. Very up to date yet classic. Nice formula - goes on smooth and leaves a nice stain. Inexpensive.
