Avon GLAZEWEAR Lip Gloss Swatches and Review
I can’t believe how inexpensive and non-sticky these are. When you swatch them on your hand you will feel that they are very light and non sticky. Very moisturizing and depending on which finish you get you will find them to be sheer to intense.
Shine like a supernova. A glamour galaxy of 3 glossy finishes. Feels lighter than ever. Always comfy, never sticky. .15 oz. net wt.
Pros:
- On sale for $1.99 during the month of May. Regular price is $6.00 (which is still inexpensive)
- The sparkle ones have this amazing shimmer that really shines in daylight. Think MAC Dazzleglass without the thickness and stickiness.
- Lots of colors to choose from
- Comfortable and moisturizing
- I wouldn’t say these are long wearing glosses, they last as long as any other regular lipgloss
- No scent and no taste
Cons:
- Can only order this online or by a representative. Link to Avon reps are in the comment box(click here). Hopefully there is one in your area. :)
- I kept applying more and more because I didn’t feel the gloss on my lips. Then I would see color in the mirror and realize there was gloss on my lips still. OOPSY
- The applicator doesn’t feel like it picks up a lot of color. I had to apply at least two coats.
- The actual packaging is lightweight plastic. So depending on who you ask this might appear cheap. But again, it is only $6 or $1.99 if you buy them in May.
Overall: I love the sparkle ones because it is not gritty or sticky. They shimmer like liquid metal with flecks and I love all of them. The next favourite are the intense because of the color pay off and how its smooth and moisturizing. The Shiny glosses were more “traditional” glosses to me. But still very pretty. I’ll do a color breakdown tomorrow. Time to render for Tip Thursday :)
