New & Improved Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliners Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

I have reviewed some of the Avon Glimmersticks variants before, today I am reviewing their new and improved Glimmersticks, they have improved the formula and here are my thoughts

What the Company claims: All New Formula, Bolder Color in One stroke, Continuous Waterproof Lines whole day

MRP: Rs. 329/- for 0.28g (For Rs.259 currently) (Available online on Nykaa)

Shades available:

  • Emerald Green
  • Blackest Black
  • Cosmic Brown
  • Majestic Plum
  • Starry Night Blue

They do keep adding shades or some Limited Edition shade for a new collection, they had added Textured Teal and Nocturnal, two new shades in 2012 with their Urban Jungle Collection, I have reviewed the Nocturnal shade HERE

They have a lot of different ranges in Glimmersticks, there is Ultra Brights (Reviewed HERE), Diamonds (more shimmery), Cosmic, Liqui- Glide, Flick eyeliner. And then there are Lip Liners and Brow Definers.

The pencils have color coordinated base which makes them easier to identify. I always prefer retractable pencils as I do not like wastage of product with sharpeners.

I can definitely notice the better formula in the first stroke, they were always easy to glide on and use, these are even more pigmented! I have mentioned in my earlier review how they use to break and are very soft, this time they didn’t break much. As you see in this swatch, the black broke a bit while swatching, but they are definitely more firmer.

They are easy to glide on and you get the required pigmentation in one stroke. I have the shades Blackest Black, Emerald, Majestic Plum and Starry Night Blue.

They stayed on for a good whole day on my upper lashline, for about 5-6 hours on my lower lashline and 3-4 hours on my waterline. I have very watery eyes, so I am still very impressed with the staying power. On the upper lashline, it just didn’t budge unless I took it off with a good makeup remover at the end of the day.

Entire quantity

I definitely suggest checking these out, and for the price, they are total value for money! I would recommend these over some of the other new launches which just break and you end up sharpening the entire pencil with a complete waste of product!

Left – Right: Starry Night Blue, Majestic Plum, Blackest Black, Emerald

The only con with these was they were available only through Avon reps, but now you get them online too, on Nykaa, etc. Though you cannot use the current offers and discounts as these websites have fixed prices.

Avon Ultra Color Lipsticks SPF15 Review,Swatches

What the Company claims:

Be the show stopper with rich enchanting lips. With True Color Technology, the rich color you see on the lipstick is the same color you see on your lips. Capture attention with a plethora of shades that make you beautiful.

1. Lip-Nourishing formula with Shea Butter, Omega Oil, Arctic Berry & Vitamin E to make lips feel smooth and moisturized instantly.
2. Vivid colors stay true with Self-renewing Pigments formula
3. See the shades instantly through the clear view window

Available in 20 shades

Grammage: 3.8g

MRP: Rs. 375/- (Mostly on discounts)

They also come in a matte range with a similar packaging.

It has a black square tube packaging with a see through cap towards the top. Not that you can see the shade from the top to identify the shade :/

But its shuts tight and does not mess or break easily. Travel friendly. To start with, I love how crazily pigmented these are! Pretty moisturizing and stay for 3-4 hours and leave behind a soft stain.

I am reviewing the shades Buttered Rum, Lava Love and WineBerry. I absolutely love WineBerry, followed by Lava Love. I am not a fans of browns, so do not like Buttered Rum much.

Buttered Rum is a soft brick brown

Lava Love is a bright coral red

WineBerry is actually a mauve rose brown, very flattering shade.

L-R: Lava Love, Buttered Rum, WineBerry

Here are the swatches..

L-R: Lava Love, Buttered Rum, WineBerry

And here is how they look on moi..

L-R: Lava Love, Buttered Rum, WineBerry

I would love to check out more from this range. These are very moisturizing, pigmented, have SPF15, stays for 3-4 hours and all the qualities a good lipstick should have. Highly recommended. Only availability is an issue with Avon since you need a representative.

Also I would love to try the Matte range in this next.

Rating: 4/5

Avon already has Glimmersticks eyeliners and they are pretty known and famous and quiet good..I had reviewed the shade Nocturnal HERE.

They have launched these Glimmersticks Ultra Brights now..but not sure why the prices increased so much from Rs.259/- directly to Rs.399/- though they are mostly on offers..

Glimmersticks are generally metallic shades or ones with shimmer..these are matte but bright..

It goes on smooth and is quite creamy..no tugging or pulling..but requires layering for the intensity..atleast 2 swipes..not multiple though. Stays on for 6-7 hours before fading off.

Purple Punch is a matte bluish purple shade..

Pros:

1. Pretty brights.
2. Smudge proof and does not spread around.
3. Stays for a good 6-7 hours.
4. Mechanical and retractable..so no wastage.
5. Matching shade at the end to identify.

Cons:

1. Needs to be layered twice for the intensity.
2. Only available through an Avon rep.

Overall I liked this shade..but would have loved it more had the pigmentation been better..the previous Glimmersticks were more pigmented..or may be its just this shade..I am not sure..but definitely worth a try..especially on offers.

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: No..not this shade..may be some other.
