Executive Summary
Avon: Glazewear Lipstick, "a formula that combines the high shine of a lip gloss with the silky smooth color of a lipstick," will launch this May, Avon says. Formulated with ColorGel, Glazewear Lipsticks delivers both color and shine, something traditional lipsticks and lip glosses do not do - the first containing "heavy, sticky waxes" that impart color but dull shine, the second offering shine but not rich pigment. Available in 20 shades including Pink Kiss, Brown Sugar and Beach Plum, the lipsticks retail for $8 each.
