AVON Liquid Chrome Eyeliners in Electric Blue, Bronze, Shimmering Amber & Shimmering Silver £6.50 each
Today, I am reviewing the Liquid Chrome Eyeliners from AVON. I purchased 4 of the 7 eyeliners, as they were the most interesting colours to me, and they were colours I knew I would wear. Personally, I thought that these would be good the festive season, if I didn't want to wear glitter, but still wanted to wear something shiny/metallic. 
L-R : Electric Blue / Bronze / Shimmering Amber / Shimmering Silver
The packaging of these isn't anything special, but I do love that the lids are colour-coded, so that it is easy to find the shade you want. The applicator is a standard sponge/felt tip brush, that is easy to use, but it does hold a little too much product. All you have to do with that is swipe a little of the product back into the pot. Depending on what angle you hold the brush, you can achieve different thicknesses of eyeliner, which is great for doing winged liner. Overall, the packaging great, but nothing special.

Shimmering Silver
Bronze
Shimmering Amber
Electric Blue
The consistency is a little thin, but two layers gives you the perfect opaque finish you want. I would recommend keeping your eyelids closed until it dries, as it can crease when still wet. But it is budge proof when it is dry, which makes it very long-lasting. All 4 of the colours are metallic, but are still wearable during the day, unlike some other coloured liners, which can be too glittery or metallic. 
 
Wearing the shade Bronze



Overall, I am very impressed by these metallic liquid liners. They are a great way to introduce colour into your makeup, are long-lasting, inexpensive and easy to use. I probably won't buy the other colours, as I don't think I would wear a green or purple liner and I don't need another black. But, if they come out with other colours in the future, I would give them a try.
If you are looking for a new eyeliner that is a little different to black or brown, the I would recommend giving these a try.

Have you guys tried these yet?
What is your favourite liquid eyeliner?

AVON Ultra Glimmerstick Lip Liner in Simply Spice £6.00

Recently, I have been sorting out my makeup collection, and I realised that I don't own many lip liners! Lip liners are great for helping lipstick to last longer and to slightly alter the shape of your lips. I remembered that I used to really like the AVON lip liners, so I thought that I would give them another go.

My Avon order arrived today, so I thought that I would show you. There will be reviews once I have tested the makeup products. 

Firstly, I purchased Colortrend white eyeliner pencil which is £3.00. I wanted a white eyeliner for my waterline so that it opens up my eyes when I wear heavy eyelid makeup.

I am going to a Hen party this weekend, which has a punk theme. So, I decided to paint my nails in a stand out colour instead of the traditional pink/black/red punk colours. I chose to do my ring finger black matte and my other fingers lime green.
The lime green is from Barry M, shade 137. The black is Avon matte nailwear, shade 'black as night'. The topcoat/basecoat is Barry M clear topcoat/basecoat/hardener.

In the last book, I ordered a new SuperSHOCK mascara as I lost the last one I ordered! However, this one is limited edition as it is the 'blackest black SuperSHOCK mascara'. It's a beautiful packaged mascara as it is matte black with shiny black swirl pattern on it, which I prefer to the last SuperSHOCK mascara I bought (pink floral case). I am excited to try this to see if it is the blackest black mascara I have ever used. I hope that it is because I adore this mascara normally. It was £4, I think, as it was half price.

Last month, I ordered a gel eyeliner, eyeliner brush, nail art tips and lip-liner, and today, they arrived. I will be doing an in-depth review once I have tried the products out.

I ordered these nail tips which have a pink/white/black leopard print on them. They were £1.50 because they were on offer in the last book. They just stick on the ends of your nails for a unique french manicure. I can't wait to try these out on my fake nails.

Today, my Avon order arrived. I will be reviewing these products when I get a chance.
I ordered a new eyeliner and two eyeshadow duos.

Firstly the eyeliner. Now this is a new eyeliner by Avon, called 'always on point' as it has a sharpener in the lid, so it always has a point. The colour I ordered was black as my black eyeliner had recently run out. I am excited to use this as I really like using Avon eyeliners as they are soft compared to some pencils. I am tempted to order the Avon gel liner next, in a different colour though.

I made a quick tutorial of how I did my ombre lips, which I wore today (7/5/13). Sorry, if I am rambling or if the lighting is bad, it was a last minute decision to film this on my webcam.

* Okay, there was meant to be a video but blogger won't let me upload it. So the photos will have to do. Sorry! I will try again later. (8/5/13)
Enjoy!

My Avon order arrived yesterday and I also went on a mini shopping spree for a new skincare product range, new laptop and other bits on Saturday.

From Avon, I ordered a limited edition case SuperSHOCK mascara (£5 normally £8.50) in black. I am a huge fan of this mascara and the new case is beautiful for summer. I am going to do a review in a later blog post since this is the 3rd time I have used this mascara. The other item I ordered was the Clearskin blackhead clearing daily astringent (£2 normally £4). This was recommended to me by a friend so I decided to try it whilst it was half price in the catalogue. I can't wait to try it with my other new skincare products.

On Saturday 20th April 2013, I also purchased a few goodies whilst I was in the city centre buying my new laptop (which I am currently typing on!). I firstly went into a poundshop. I purchased some random pieces for my 'moving to lincoln' collection, which I am not going to talk about, and a new set of exfoliating gloves. I love using these when I am in the bath/shower as the tops of my arms have a rash/ezcema on them, so these help to reduce the rash by buffing the dead skin away. I just loved the fact that one is spotty and one is plain so that you can differentiate between each hand.
