Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Rose Lipstick photos and swatches
Friday, February 10, 2012 at 11:47AM My heart always skips a beat whenever I get a package from Avon. They send a lot, but there's always something new that I get excited to share with you guys. This time, it's the new Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Rose Lipstick (P199 intro price).
What's the difference between the UMR Rose and the original one? This collection is done exclusively in ten rose shades - from baby pinks to a deep almost black red - and has a wonderful sweet vanilla rose scent to show for it. The black tube also has a shiny pink band around it, versus the silver of the normal UMRs.
But this is the most important thing: I think they reformulated! The lipsticks are creamier, more opaque, and more moisturizing than ever. They just glide on like a dream without the waxiness of normal lipsticks. Lastly, the annoying glitters are completely gone from this version of the UMR. Before, Avon lipsticks would always have at least two colors with chunky shimmer in each collection, but this time they are nowhere to be found!
And now, for our favorite part: the swatches. Thought I'd show a full face here so you can see how beautiful the shades are. The photos are a little saturated and blurry but in my defense I am still not used to the settings of my new camera. Hope you get the idea though!
French Lace Rose is a delicate nude shade that is brown-based with hints of pink
Amour Rose is a sheer milky pink that will look great on fair skintones, but darker than that and it may look off. I don't like this color so much.
Apricot Nectar Rose is my top two favorite! It is the perfect peach-pink...I know I have so many perfect peach pinks already, but this is the latest in my collection. It has the best formula.
Blushing Bride Rose is almost an MLBB shade, but it has lots of pink in it. I'd call it a warmed-up pink.
Ahh, another winner! Amelia Rose is a warm pink with plum undertones. Morenas will love this!
Rosabella Rose is a pink-red that's another wearable red shade. It's nice but nothing that will rock your panties off.
Passionate Kiss Rose is a hot pink that's not overly blue-based. So it's very medium skintone friendly! I love it!
Do I spot my next favorite red? Carmen Rose is a hot red that sizzles when worn. Okay not literally but you get my drift.
Royal Celebration Rose is a deep berry red that's very fall. Would look great on darker skintones but I think it looks nice on me as is.
And my super favorite in this collection: Jubilee Rose! When I first swatched this, my eyes went wide and I was like, whoa! I've been secretly longing for a shade like this for a long time now. It's complicated. It's not just a dark red...it's the color of clotting blood. It has brown in it, but you can see the red and even a hint of purple.
Will definitely be wearing this in evening events!!!
Overall, wow stuff. I love most of the shades. Of course it goes without saying the UMR Rose is not perfect - it could have a better lasting power, for instance, but for the way it looks who cares? It's only P199 right now! I suggest you run to grab one. It's hard for me to recommend any particularshade since most of the shades here are great, so just pick one according to what you're looking for. ;)

These are awesome! :) Is there any Avon shop in the major malls (i.e. Trinoma, SM, Glorietta)...?
all of them looks so pretty! i like them all! it looks good on you miss liz.
I'm so getting the Jubilee Rose!! Been looking for a deep red shade and yay it's cheap lang!! =D
Thanks for this article, Liz!
@Reese: there's one in Megamall! :)
Apricot Nectar Rose is absolutely pretty! :)
OMG! I love all of them. It's so hard to choose! Jubilee Rose looks very interesting though :)
Oh my! Amelia Rose is love!! =)
I like your makeup on the first pic! So simple and pretty...
Great swatches! Definitely getting the Apricot Nectar Rose and Amelia Rose. Even though I already have too many lipsticks left unused. Haha. :D
all the shades are nice....:) and it looks good on you liz....:)
Apricot Rose and Amelia Rose are my top two favorites, they look subtle and very flaterring if one is aiming for a natural look. I prefer shades like these because it gives me the right amount of color that I need, just enough to brighten up my face :)
I wish I saw this post first since I just orderd 2 Avon lipsticks (UMR 24k gold) which I love but I was kinda turned off by the gold sparkles.
Anyway, I finally saw the new Avon brochure. Aside from the introductory price of ONLY 199, you also get a free pressed powder for any purchase of the new UMR Rich Rose line.. I initially wanted French Lace Rose but after seeing your swatches, I'm convinced that Amelia Rose is the one! :)
I would love to hoard some of these. I do hope that the AVON stalls in the LRT 1 and 2 stations carry these already. :) Thank you for sharing this great find of yours. :)
Napabili ako because of this post! You're swatches are beautiful!!! Thank you!
I got a little obsessed with your swatches, I always check this post 2-4 times a day since you posted this. : )
@Valerie Joy haha! super glad you found my swatches useful. what did you end up getting?
Great swatches! I love all the colors. I thought Jubilee Rose is too loud. I am an Avon rep and would you believe I already ordered 10 pcs and my customers are loving Carmen Rose, Apricot Nectar and Rosabella Rose. :)
I love makeup from Avon! Affordable but gives beautiful color payoff!
You make me wanna try Jubilee Rose tuloy! ;-)
Amelia Rose looks great on you :) I have fair-yellow (Chinese blood) skin, and I have a hard time finding a nude lip color that looks good on me. The ones that are too pale tend to wash me out and when I go to darker shades, it doesn't look nude anymore :( Do you have any suggestions for brand/type of lip stick or lip color that'll look good without washing me out?
This entry is great. I can see how well the shades look when applied to lips. French lace rose and apricot nectar rose is a find! :)And btw, more power to you Ms. Liz! Just started to read your blog today and im hooked!
Thank you for this Liz :)))) it really helped me! I'm looking for this actually!
