Recently, I delved back into the world of Avon cosmetics and purchased a few bits that seemed to grab my attention! I had been looking for an eye shadow stick type product for a while but never really knew where to start, but the Big Colour Eye Pencil's looked pretty good in the brochure!
I ordered the shade Cocoa Gleam, a smooth chocolate / coffee hybrid shade with a shot of slivery shimmer running through it. The chunky pencil means that the product is easy to hold and use, and the shadow applies easily with a super creamy texture which means that you can apply it quite sheer or build it up and also smudge it out with your finger for a super quick smokey eye.
As you can see, the colour is absolutely stunning and works really well against my pale skin tone. I love how easily this is to use and apply, just run it over the lid and lower lash line then blend with fingers and bayum, done! The only thing that I feel could be improved is the longevity of the shadow. I wore this on a work day for around 12 hours and it lasted well for almost 7 hours before I began to notice some fading and a little creasing. However, I didn't have a primer underneath so I will try that soon and update!
Overall, good colour, super easy to use and very wearable. Excellent purchase if you can put up with some slight creasing that could be avoided with the use of a primer!
These are £6.00 each which I think is quite fair, and the good thing about Avon is that even if you don't have a local representative you can browse their range and order online here.
What do you think of the Big Colour Eye Pencils?
