1. At 57, my lipstick no longer made me feel beautiful
The shades I used to love suddenly looked too harsh. Matte formulas dried out my lips within an hour, and the color always ended up bleeding into the fine lines above my mouth. I felt like I was wearing a costume. So I stopped.
2. Then I found a lipstick that didn't make me pick a shade
The bullet was completely clear, which made me laugh at first. But once applied, it reacted to the natural pH of my lips and gradually revealed a soft pink tint that looked perfectly natural. It was subtle, never artificial. My lips simply looked fresher and brighter.
3. For the first time in years, my lips felt comfortable wearing color
Dryness is what made me give up in the first place. Most lipsticks felt nice for an hour, then left my lips tight, chapped and desperate for balm. Avenor was different. It gave me beautiful color, but felt like care. By the end of the day, my lips were still soft and comfortable.
4. One small compliment gave me back a part of myself I'd forgotten
My husband noticed first. He looked at me and said, "You look really lovely today." He didn't mention the lipstick. He just noticed me. Later, my daughter asked what I was wearing, because the color looked so natural. That's when I realized I wanted to wear lipstick again, not to look younger, but to feel like myself.
5. Today, I put it on without a second thought
I apply it in the morning and get on with my day. I don't worry about picking the wrong color, whether it's too bold, or reapplying lip balm every hour. It gives me the subtle touch of color I'd been missing, without any of the hassle of traditional lipstick.
6. Why didn't anyone tell me the second one was free?
I almost bought just one. Then I saw the "Buy 1, Get 1 Free" offer and ordered two while it was still available. I keep one in my bathroom and the other in my handbag. If you've been wanting to wear lipstick again, now is the perfect time to try it.
