i really like this. i got in at demo price as i am a rep. i got the shade nude & i will be ordering more of these. they are the perfect blend between a lipstick and lip balm. the pigmentation of the nude was great & buildable. these remind me of the new tinted lip balms that i've been seeing all over the drugstores, like maybelline's baby lips, revlon's lip butters, & the new l'oreal tinted balms. these are hydrating and feel like a balm but with color to it. highly recommend. they aren't as creamy or pigmented as the revlon lip butters, but they are really nice. i like how you can apply this as a balm, without overdoing the color. sophisticated packaging too

I got a sample bullet of this lipstick in Coral. I actually like it. It's moisturizing and shiny for a lipstick. I'm guessing that's why the reviews below say it isn't, maybe they were expecting a glossy finish like you would get from a lip gloss? No, this is a lipstick with shine and I find it very moisturizing. Colour-wise, it's not a opaque as a lipstick....it's more of a sheer lipstick or a tinted lipbalm. I don't mind this personally, I'm more of a tinted lipbalm kinda girl anyway and this suits me. I find it doesn't have a scent, so there's nothing offensive about it. I think I would buy this again, maybe this time in a mauvy-pink.

I ordered a preview size of the new Avon shine attract so I could try it before deciding to buy a full-size one in an upcoming Campaign.

First of all, the sample was .79 cents with $10 purchase. This sample size is so small, it should have been free with $10 purchase, IMO.

Anyway, I think Avon is very hit or miss, and sadly, this one is a major Miss. I ordered the color Plumberry, which is a very pretty pinky/plum color, and the color is also the only redeeming quality about this stuff. The formula is not shiny at all...not even slightly glossy (why they called it SHINE Attract is beyond me). It has a weird taste and very weird feel on the lips...it's actually very drying. The application is also awkward, because the only bit of color is in the very center surrounded by the clear stuff wrapped around it. The color goes on unevenly and looks strange until you put your lips together to blend it.

In short, I am not going to buy the full size of this item. I'm glad I got to try it out before wasting $6 or whatever the full size price will be. There are much nicer lip products out there for sure.

I ordered a sample of this from Avon, colour Rose Pink. Although the colour was great, the staying power was an epic fail. This ends up being more an extremely sheer gloss as opposed to a 'lipstick' and I had to reapply every hour. I'm glad I got a 'tester bullet' for .99 as opposed to paying the $12.99 for the full monty. The fragrance was weird too, almost medicinal... weird. I gave it a 4 for price because $12.99 is rediculous, but the sale prices are decent. I'll also note these are Canadian prices
