Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliner — 

After years of using Avon, I'm a big fan of their products.  They can be a bit hit or miss for me, but after years of trial and error, I've found the products that work well for me and I buy them often. One of those products is Glimmersticks Eyeliner. I've been using it for years and like the convenience and ease of application.

Glimmersticks are available in the following colors: Blackest Black, Cosmic Brown, Emerald, Majestic Plum, Saturn Grey, and Starry Blue Night. They come in a long skinny plastic tube that is retractable and you never need to sharpen them.  You just pull off the cap, twist it up and apply.  Glimmersticks can also break off if too much eyeliner is exposed; however this is easily prevented by exposing only a small portion. I also agree that Glimmersticks are creamy. I find that they are more creamy than pencil eyeliners which makes them easier to apply and less likely to hurt my eyelid or tug and stretch the delicate skin around my eyes. Glimmersticks remove easily with soap and water or makeup remover, although I usually just run a cotton pad over my lids and it comes right off.

Glimmersticks are creamy and easy to apply. I like that they are retractable as I have issues with pencil eyeliners that require a sharpener. The only thing I don't like is that they melt off a little in the summer months and could be a little more long-wearing. I've been using them for many years and will continue to do so.   I usually buy black, brown, and plum but I have tried all the shades.  Grey is nice but the blue and green are a bit much for me.  A little too 1982 for my liking.
