Avon Glimmersticks Diamonds Eyeliner - Review + Swatches

Hey all, 

I bought these little beauties on recommendation from one of my favourite YouTube makeup guru's - gossmakeupartist. He's great, head over and check him out if you haven't already! I am a sucker for eyeliner's and ran off to purchase them after I saw them in one of his favourites post. 

They are long-lasting coloured eyeliners that are infused with shimmer particles. They come in a range of shades and I picked up: Emerald Glow, Sugar Plum, Twilight Sparkle, Sparkling Silver and Golden Diamond. I have been using them for about a month now, and absolutely adore them so far. They have the perfect balance between colour and shimmer, and I have found that they add a special something to most eye looks! 


What I Love 
- Highly pigmented - deep, rich colour, especially in the darker shades. 
- Great range of shades. 
- Bright, sparkling shimmer.
- Not too shimmery - can be used both day and night. 
- Long lasting and don't smudge easily.
- Go on smoothly and easily. 
- Automatic and self sharpening. 
- Cheap! 

What I Don't 
- The darker colours seem to be a lot more pigmented than the lighter ones. 
- They are hard to come by in Australia, you would have to hunt down a representative. You can get around this though by purchasing them on eBay from overseas. 

Where to Buy: Avon Representatives, eBay.
I purchased mine from tupperwarenavon2731 from the USA. 

Price: I bought them for $2.90 each, and combined postage came to $5.20.

I definitely recommend these if you want a shimmer infused liner that isn't too overpowering. I have found that they brighten up and add depth to most looks. At $2.90 each, why not give them a try? 

Hope you all have a great night! xx

Avon Super Shock Mascara Review

Hey all, 

The hunt for the perfect mascara continues...or does it?! 

We all know just how difficult it is to get everything that we want from a mascara; maybe we are asking for too much? And although I will forever continue to hunt for that perfect mascara, the one that makes false lashes obsolete (a girl can wish!), Avon Super Shock mascara is giving me everything that I want right now - and I am loving it! 

I have never been much of a fan of Avon products, and only tried this out because a friend left one at my house and I thought "Why the hell not?!". I am so very glad I did!

I have used it every day since, and am sure I will continue to do so for a very long time. 


Type of brush: Flexible rubber bristles. 

What I Love
- Improves length and thickness a great deal
- Separates lashes like no other mascara I've used before
- Holds the curl 
- Doesn't smudge or melt off (even in Brisbane heat!)
- Such a bargain! 

What I Am Not So Crazy About 
- Hard to find, I ended up purchasing it on eBay
- End of the brush can get a bit goopy - so you have to remember to wipe it off. 

Where to Buy: From Avon Representatives or alternatively I bought mine on eBay 

Price: I can't remember how much it was exactly, but it was under $10 (on eBay). 


This has become one of my ALL time faves, and I definitely recommend that you give it a try! I doubt that you will be disappointed!! 

p.s - The nail polish I am wearing is China Glaze Atlantis 

Hope you all have a great day! xx
