Sephora: Retractable Eyeliner, Waterproof in Matte Deep Plum (21)

Good evening ladies,

My friend recently got back from her elective rotation in the states and she bought tons of make-up from there. So I borrowed some of them to share to you.

This plum colored eyeliner reminded me of the plum liner I used to have. Anyway, it's fairly easy to use as it glides easily over the lids and colors well. Like most eyeliner it's double ended with the smudge-brush on the other end.

I do feel like the product is a little shorter than what I expected. I don't think it would last me very long. But it is a good product and it colors well.

It's somewhat smudge proof as I tried rubbing it off a few times and it was still there.

But since people usually rub their eyes vigorously, like my friend, it's not really as long lasting.

Here it is applied on the eye.

The color is great and all. I do like it but I had t give it back. Hope there are products similar to this locally, and hopefully with prices that are cheaper than this one.

Cheers,

LIZ

Avon Glimmersticks Eye Liner in Blackest Black and Cosmic Brown

Hey everyone!

Do you dislike sharpening your eyeliners? I don't really mind it but retractable ones are such a comfort to use.

That's why I immediately bought these couple of eyeliners from Avon when they were in a promo some months ago.

The packaging is classy and slim. Easy to bring along in your kikay kits!

The product is quite soft. My Blackest Black one broke off while I was swatching it. :(

This is my Cosmic Brown. I've used it once or twice and here's how long it is just to give you an idea. :P

Pigmented, right? These are done with just one swatch. I like that they are matte too. It goes along with a lot of makeup looks. I usually use mine when I try to do smokey looks. And also, these are creamy which makes them easy to glide on the skin. :)

This is long lasting if I compare it with pencil liners but it still creases on me when I use this. It also doesn't stay long on my waterline. The ones I have are not waterproof.

But all in all, this is actually good! It's inexpensive and works great! I'll probably buy the Blackest Black one again if it were in a promo again. :)

Do you use eyeliners from Avon too?
