Shakeup Your Makeup

I've been on a bit of an Avon kick recently, so when I saw the Avon Precision Glimmer Eyeliners were on sale , I decided to jump at the opportunity and pick a few up.  I think they were about $1.99 a piece, so quite a steal for a liquid eyeliner.  I also picked up one of the new Big Color Eye Pencils in Eggplant to try as well.  Right now, they are on sale for $3.99 each, and come in a range of colors too.

I picked up four of the liquid Precision Glimmer Eyeliners: Dune (A deep copper), Olive (a bright, shimmery olive green), Amber (a golden bronze), and Charcoal (a black with silver shimmer).  There is also a navy blue called Storm, but I didn't grab this one as I don't wear blues a whole lot. 

As the name implies, these are liquid eyeliners.  The applicator is a felt-tip, which I typically steer clear of, simply because I have a hard time applying felt tip versus an actual brush-tipped.  The applicator on this is actually quite forgiving, and works very similarly to a brush-tip.  It is flexible, bendable, and moves along the lashline without dragging.  The formula on these liners are quite nice as well - they are not thick or gloppy, and instead are almost thin, making application very easy.  The liner dries quickly, too, helping ensure you don't smear or smudge it. 

The Big Color Eye Pencils are jumbo sized.  I think a better description would be an "Eye Crayon"!  The formula is waterproof, so in theory it shouldn't smudge or wear.  I haven't tried this one out yet, except for the swatch below.  I will say, when swatching this pencil is very smooth and creamy.  There is nothing dry about it.  I think it could easily be used as a liner, base, or eyeshadow itself! 

Calling all glitter-lovers...Sinful has a set out right now called "All that Shimmers", which I stumbled upon with the numerous other displays I've mentioned this week.  All of these glitters are suspended in a colored-jelly base, so they aren't full on glitters, but would be a nice topcoat?  I also withheld any spending on these - I wanted several of them, but opted on some Physicians Formula blushes instead.  Pretty sparkles for this cold, wintery day!

Some more new displays at Meijer - this time for Milani.  One of the displays is definitely catering to Valentine's Day, being named "Haute Lips and Tips".  All the colors are reds and pinks, although I couldn't tell if they were re-promotes or new colors.  The bright fuchsia there in the front looked new to me, and I know those lip colors are new, but as for the rest of the nail polish, I couldn't be sure.

The next display was called "Fashion Editorial Nails", and had a range of new colors of polish with some of the nail art polishes as well.  There is also a little tear-pad on the display that has unique patterns and "how to's" for colors on display.  I really like the penny color and the pink glitter, which you can see better below on the closeup. 

So, what do we know?  Are these new or re-promotes?  Have you seen this and do you plan on getting anything?
