It was perfect timing actually. I was just having a conversation with my mom who wanted some advice on eyeliner. Her eyes water a little, she has a tendency to rub her eyes, and by the end of the day her eyeliner is gone. Not just a day or so later, the catalogue showed up at the door.
I am the kind of girl that has to look at every catalogue I get. Even when it is addressed to someone else, selling something I never use, I HAVE to look through the whole thing. It wasn't such a stretch to look through the Avon catalogue for me, but being burned enough times buying makeup before I have actually had a tactile experience with it, I am hesitant. Avon's prices though are so reasonable I thought it would be small wash if it didn't work out.
I decided to go ahead and order their Glimmersticks waterproof eyeliner. A waterproof eyeliner might just be what the makeup artist ordered for mom's eyeliner issue. I've given it a test drive on a few makeup jobs and it definitely has staying power.
Depending on what effect you are going for or what style of makeup you wear this can be great for a long wear liner. It is one of those twist liners that you do not put in a pencil sharpener. Just twist and it grows out of the case. So if you like that really sharp point in your eyeliner you need to alter your technique of applying a little.
It stays on. I mean really on. I put some on my eyes and rubbed them after a couple of minutes and it didn't budge. I've used it on a couple brides in combination with a regular eyeliner since I do so much smudging and blending and need a regular eyeliner that moves a little for that.
If you are looking for a long wear liner, this one is a great buy at only a few dollars. Just ask around work or your neighborhood to find you local Avon lady and you will be helping a local small business woman too.
