Avon Glazewear Lip Lacquer Review

 I rarely stray from my go-to lip color: Avon Glazewear in Buttered Rum.  It's the perfect color for my skin tone, and I love the non-sticky shine and easy applicator.   So, when I saw that Avon had a sale on its Glazewear Lip Lacquer, I happily bought this new (for me) version in a new color--Perfect Brown.  Unfortunately,  the lip lacquer gave me more lackluster results than I anticipated.

As you would expect, Glazewear Lip Lacquer is incredibly shiny.  I opened the small mirrored compact to reveal a beautiful glossy brown rectangle of lip color.  The lacquer comes with an extremely tiny brush that turned out to be completely useless for me.  I have full lips and it would have taken me forever to get the lacquer applied with that teeny-weeny brush.  Instead, I used another cosmetics brush that I had in my stash. 

The Glazewear Lip Lacquer was thick and a bit tricky to apply.  Once I got the product on the brush, it was hard to get it to spread smoothly.  The funniest thing is that when I finally got it applied on my lips, I realized that it was sheer.  I could barely see the color--I just looked like I had big shiny lips!  Although the color looks deep in the compact, it barely has any pigment once it's applied.  Oh, and it's ickily sticky.  Color me disappointed.

Although I love the Glazewear line of shiny lip colors, I'll pass on purchasing another compact of Glazewear Lip Lacquer.  The mirror shine is incredible, and if you're into barely-there color, you may actually like this product.  But for me, I wanted more color and less stickiness.
