* Smoky Diamond – Dark grey with silver sparkles

* Emerald Glow- Dark/almost blackish green with green & silver sparkles

* Flashy Copper - Golden sparkly brownish copper

* Golden Diamond – Yellowish gold with gold sparkles

* Sparkling Silver - Steel grey with silver sparkles

My Opinion: - Eye pencils add a pop of color to the eyes, giving a very attractive look. These eye pencils pick you up on a bad day. I prefer using these in all possible shades but blacks and blues are an all-time favorite. Today I am reviewing 2 eye liner pencils from Avon, one of my favorite brands. One is Black Ice and the other is Twilight Sparkle. The packaging is a slim black plastic pen look-alike, retractable which makes it travel/purse friendly. I never use these eye liners on my waterline since the sparkles in them might irritate my eyes, I use them only on my upper as well as lower lash lines.

NATURAL LIGHT

                          These eye liner pencils are like dry crayons and are not creamy at all but they glide on the eyelids with much ease. They are perfect for thick lines as well as cat eyes but the rounded tip makes it impossible to create thin lines. The self-sharpening bit is a big lie but that is not a big drawback, since I use the tiny little sharpener from my Lotus Herbals Eye Pencil to get a pointed tip if required. The pigmentation is medium, not bad but not very good either. About 2-3 swipes are necessary for a dark noticeable line, they don’t tug or pull my eyelids and glide on with much ease.  The fact that these eye liner pencils are retractable, saves the pain of sharpening them which avoids the wastage of valuable product.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT

                           Black Ice is a lighter shade of black with silver as well as holographic sparkles. These sparkles are not OTT or gritty and I use this particular shade for the day as well as night. This shade is not an intense black but sober enough for all the black eye liner-lovers. The second shade is Twilight Sparkle which is a true deep blue, almost tilting towards black, with oodles of bright blue sparkles. These sparkles are a bit on the gritty side but still I wouldn’t call them OTT. They can safely be worn during the day as well but I make it sure never to wear this shade to office. During the night it looks awesome and adds drama to the eyes. Both shades can be worn as eye shadow if smudged well before they get set.

GLITTER/SHIMMER STILL REMAINS AFTER WASHING OFF

                              The lasting power of these both shades is amazing, they stay whole day/night, until I choose to remove them. They don’t even melt after sweating and stay intact without a single smudge or smear but the sparkles travel all over the eyelids. I have very oily lids and I generally use a primer before applying any eye makeup but these eye liners stay put on my lids even without a primer or any other base. Now coming to removing/cleaning off these eye liners, it’s a chore I would say. These needs to be cleaned off with an eye makeup remover, but still the sparkles stay on even after washing off the face with a foaming cleanser. I have tried all types of cleanser but failed to remove all traces of sparkles. I can clearly see sparkles all over my eye-area the next day also :P

Pros: -

* Long-lasting, smudge-proof formula

* Does not tug/pull the eyelids even if they are not creamy

* Sweat-proof & Water-proof

* Retractable slim pen packaging makes it travel/purse friendly

* On discounts, they are a steal (very affordable)

* Self-sharpening avoids wastage

* 7 stunning shades available

Cons: -

 * Difficult to remove/clean off the sparkles

* This range lacks a basic brown shade (I hate them for this)

                I rate these Avon Glimmersticks Diamonds Eye Lines in Black Ice & Twilight Sparkle, 4.75 out of 5. These are my go to eye liner pencils; especially the Black Ice and I love them truly when it comes to the staying power. I miss a proper brown shade in this range (greedy me :P). I recommend these eye liner pencils to all eye makeup lovers.

Ingredients:- Not Listed

My Opinion: - Eye liner pencils are an easy and quick way to perk up your look. I love to use colored pencil liners to add zing to my eyes and pick me up. I love to play with a multitude of colors and hence I bought a pink and a white eye liner pencil from Maybelline. These pencils are made of plastic and I would call them eye crayons. They are slim pencils with transparent plastic caps; also the color of the shade is denoted at the back of each pencil. They are easy to sharpen and easier to carry around.

                           The eye liner pencils are creamy and I always fear that the tips might break but that has never happened till date. Because of this creaminess and softness, the tips don’t come out very pointed after sharpening. They glide on my eye lids very well without pulling or tugging. The pigmentation is not very good but it’s not bad either. I bought the white pencil solely for my waterline but it cannot be used there without sticking to my lower lashes and gives a gross look. So I use it as base for my eye makeup and the shadows come out more vivid and stay on for longer durations.

NATURAL LIGHT

The white pencil is silvery with very finely milled multi shimmer and the pink pencil is also infused with finely milled shimmer. I love both shades and use them as eye shadow or eye shadow base as well. These pencils last for about 5 hours in an air-conditioned environment and after that it starts fading off but does not leave my eyes stark naked. The pencils do not smudge and crease, they stay on even during the summers (sweating). Therefore I would like to call them waterproof as well as water-resistant. I never went ahead with other shades from this line of eye pencils. But they are decent enough to be used as eye shadow base.

WITH FLASH

Pros: -

Creamy and soft eye pencils

Does not smudge or crease

Does not tug or pull my eye lids

Easily available and affordable too

Cons: -

Difficult to sharpen

 The tips might break sometimes as the pencils are very soft and creamy

Names of shade is not mentioned on the pencils

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT

               I rate Maybelline Vivid and Smooth Liner By Eyestudio 3.75 out of 5. The ingredients are not listed and also the shade names are not mentioned on the pencils and this fact puts me off. Overall they are okayish eye pencils with decent pigmentation. I would not recommend this product as you can buy better eye pencils (Faces) for nearly the same amount of money.
