Hi all, hope everyone is doing well. Once again... I've been very slacked with blog and I'm very sorry about that. As much as I would like to do blogs every single day, I just couldn't! With 3 kids (oldest at school now) and 2 younger ones with me all day, just find it hard to concentrate blogging. I often take photos of the items which I've bought and swatched but by the time I've done that, I just don't have the motivation to upload and simpy because the kids just constantly annoying me and I've just got too distracted to do so! Gosh...
Well, I'm sorry once again and thank you to those who subscribed to my channel even if it was just a few of you, it is very much appreciated! I will try my best to do what I need to do... (besides being full time mum), to blog and share what my passion (makeup) is with you guys!
Anyways to start off, here is a product which I ordered and received from my friend (whom is an Avon Representative). It is the Avon Extra Lasting liquid Eyeliner in shade- Black Shimmer. I think usual price was Aud $14.99 but I bought it for $9.99. Sometimes Avon do have good deals not just on this but many desirable products. However you can probably purchase this cheaper from Ebay -UK. (PS: I find that Avon stuffs are always cheaper from UK etc. Ebay)
It comes in 3 shades and they all have micro shimmer in it. So if you are into matte liners, this is definitely not for you. However if you are into liner with shimmers in it, you might wanna check this out. If you have noticed from the photos, the brush applicator does look similar to the well-known Loreal Lineur Intense which I have never tried. My always go to eyeliner is the K-Palette 24hr liquid eyeliner (which is really good) but when I swatched and tested this on my eye today, I must admit it is as good. It comes in a felt-tip application and it is quite easy to control. Here's the description of the product:-
Liquid liner strokes on smoothly for precision contouring. Almost 9 hours of defining color. Fade-proof, transfer-proof and smudge-proof. .085 fl. oz.
And here is my point of view:-
Pros:
- Long lasting. Unlike some other liquid liner, this one drys up pretty fast. I have oily lids and I had it on for more than 7 hours and it didn't budge at all.
- Felt Tip applicator. This one is easy to control the desirable thickness of line.
- Water Resistant. I tried washing the swatch off my hand with water and soap, it didn't fade at all till I used the cleansing oil. Or you can rub it off but I'm sure you wouldn't want to do that to your delicate eyes. :) (It doesn't smudge however it is advisable not to rub your eyes as it does flake off.)
- Packaging is sturdy and travel size friendly.
Cons:
- Although it dries pretty fast, still need to close my eye or look down to avoid smudging upon application. Well I suppose that applies to most liquid liner. :)
- Avoid touching eyelashes (which is inevitable but if can, do so) especially with mascara on as I find it harder to wash it off. Takes longer time to cleanse my eyelashes.
- Only comes in limited shades : 3 / 4 shades
- If you are looking for matte black liners, this is NOT the one for you as it has shimmers and not a jet black. (To me, its more of a cobalt.)
- You can't get this from any shop. It has to be ordered from Avon Representatives. Usually there will be a representative on the district / Suburd you're living in or sometimes through friends who receive brochures from them or if your friend is one of them. (If not, just order from Ebay-UK as I find them cheaper that way... providing the shipping cost is reasonable) :)
Here are the pics and swatches:-
Can you see the shimmers in it?
It certainly is not matte!
Just trying out on my eyes...
Hope the info helps you with your search of the eyeliner that suits you the best!
Till then, have a lovely night! xxx
