Review: Avon Liquid Chrome Eyeliners (all shades)

Avon is always launching new products and this summer they also came out with colorful eyeliners called Avon Liquid Chrome Eyeliners. I am a lover of a little flick and colorful eye products. Summer might be getting to an end, but colorful liners never go out of style. Especially if you love to experiment with makeup.


Eyeliners come in black plastic packaging. Top is the same color as the product inside. In each is 1 ml of product and the regular price is 7€. They're currently on offer for 5.90€

In the range has 6 colors. Some very wearable and some pops of bold color.


They have a felt tip foamy applicator. I am not a fan of it, because I think it's harder to work with than for example brush applicator. You have to be careful that you don't push it down too much, because that way you get uneven application. Tip of applicator can get frayed, which means it's not as precise anymore.




You can create fairly thin liner, depending on how precise you are and how much pressure you put on the applicator. 


They're called Liquid Chrome and they definitely have that very metallic finish to them. The only shade that is not metallic is Shiny Black, which is actually matte with some silver glitter

Plum Dazzle - cool purple with silver shimmer. It also has small bits of more visible silver glitter.
Shimmering Silver - cool silver. Has tiny silver shimmer.
Shimmering Amber - warm yellow gold. Has tiny gold shimmer. 
Bronze - warm orange bronze. Has tiny bronze shimmer. 
Electric Blue - very bright blue. Has tiny silver shimmer. 
Shiny Black - black with sparse silver shimmer. 


Formula is almost a bit creamy and liquid, but not as much that it would run into fine lines. 

These are on the sheerer side and you need to build the shade up. With one light swatch you get a fairly transparent payoff. You need to go over it or have a lot of product on the applicator. I would advise you to lay a thin base and then go over. Instead of brushing it on, I would advise you to have it horizontal to your eye and just slowly pat it on. The applicator is really not making this easy, because it's too stiff in my opinion.

The least pigmented is Shiny Black, which can almost look like a stain. The most pigmented is definitely Shimmering Amber. Bronze, Shimmering Silver, Electric Blue and Plum Dazzle all have decent pigmentation. 

They dry down in matter of minutes (thin layer in 1 minute, really thick layer in 4 minutes) and once they're dry, they don't move at all. You can definitely wear them for the whole day without any smudging. However, they're not waterproof. 

Here you can see my swatches and some of the looks that I created with them.








Shiny Black


I mostly use them as an eyeliner on its own or on top of other eyeliners. I also love to use lighter shades around the lower lash line and smudge them to almost make them look like and eye shadow. You can definitely also pat this on top of other eyeshadows as a pop of shimmer or color. Just make sure that it dries completely, before you fold your lids. 


Shimmering Silver

Plum Dazzle




Shimmering Amber and Bronze


I used Bronze on the bottom lash line and Shimmering Amber on top of green eyeliner. 




Electric Blue



You can find tutorial for this makeup here



My absolute favorite shades are Shimmering Amber, Bronze and Electric Blue. Electric Blue is one of the prettiest blue eyeliner shades I've ever tried. A definite must have. Bronze and Shimmering Amber are right up my alley and I love to use them around the lower lash line, almost as an eye shadow. 

These are really metallic liquid liners. You need to build up the color to get a full opaque payoff. They have a creamy liquid formula, are very long lasting and dry fairly quick. I don't like foam applicator, because it's too stiff for application. However, if you love the shades, don't hesitate. With some effort, these look really pretty as an eye liner or even metallic eye shadow.

Avon v svoj nabor pogosto dodaja nove izdelke. To poletje je uvedel nova barvita črtala imenovana Avon Liquid Chrome Eyeliners. Kot ljubiteljica privihanih črt na vekah in barvitih izdelkov za oči na sploh, sem se le teh razveselila. Poletje gre res h koncu, ampak barvita črtala za oči so vedno "in". So še posebej nepogrešljiv izdelek, če radi eksperimentirate s svojim makeupom. 


Črtala za oči imajo črno plastično embalažo. Pokrov je v istih odtenkih kot izdelek v embalaži. V vsakem je 1 ml izdelka in redna cena je 7€. Trenutno jih lahko dobite za 5.90€ (tukaj). 

Izbirate lahko med 6 odtenki. Nekateri so zelo nosljivi, drugi bolj barviti.

Imajo aplikator iz gobice. Nisem ljubiteljica teh aplikatorjev, ker je z njimi včasih težje delati z njimi kot na primer s čopiči. Pri nanosu morate biti previdni, da aplikator preveč ne pritiskate na kožo, ker lahko s tem ustvarite neenakomeren nanos. Konica aplikatorja se čez čas razcefra, kar pomeni, da nanos ni več tako natančen. 

Ustvarjate lahko dokaj tanke linje. Odvisno od tega kako natančni ste in koliko pritiska ustvarajte pri nanosu. 

Imenujejo se tekoči krom in definitivno izgledajo zelo kovinsko. Edini odtenek, ki nima kovinskega finiša je Shiny Black, ki je mat in vsebuje srebrne bleščice.

Plum Dazzle - hladno vijolična s srebrnimi bleščicami. Ima tudi malo večje srebrne bleščice, ki so bolj vidne. 
Shimmering Silver - hladno siva. Ima majhne sive bleščice.
Shimmering Amber - toplo rumeno zlata. Ima majhne zlate bleščice.
Bronze - toplo oranžkasto bron. Ima majhne bron bleščice. 
Electric Blue - zelo živo modra. Ima majhne srebrne bleščice.
Shiny Black - črna z redkimi srebrnimi bleščicami. 

Formula je skoraj malo kremasta in predvsem tekoča, vendar ne tako zelo, da bi tekla v majhne gubice. 

Črtala so precej prozorna in jih morate nadgraditi v popoln odtenek. Z enim nanosom dobite precej prozoren odtenek. Izdelek morate večkrat nanesti, ali pa nanekrat nanesti več izdelka. Priporočam, da si najprej narišete osnovno linijo, nato pa greste še enkrat čez njo. Najboljše je, da imate črtalo naslonjeno horizontalno na veko in ga počasi pritiskate, da ustvarite res pigmentiran nanos. Aplikator res ne pomaga pri lažjem nanosu, ker je preveč trd. 

Najmanj pigmentiran je odtenek Shiny Black, ki skoraj izgleda malo prozorno. Najbolj pigmentiran je odtenek Shimmering Amber. Bronze, Shimmering Silver, Electric Blue in Plum Dazzle imajo vsi solidno pigmentiranost. 

Posušijo se v nekaj minutah. Če je nanos zelo tanek v eni minuti, če je zelo debel pa v štirih. Ko se posušijo, se ne premikajo. Nosite jih lahko ves dan in se ne bodo razmazali. Seveda pa niso vodoodporni. 

Tukaj lahko vidite kako izgledajo na očeh. Z njimi sem ustvarila tudi nekaj makeup videzov.

Večinoma jih uporabljam kot črtalo za oči. Včasih same, včasih pa jih kombiniram z drugimi črtali. Svetle odtenke rada uporabim na spodnji veki, kjer jih nosim kot senčila. Vsekakor jih lahko tudi natapkate na veke in jih uporabljate kot dodatek kovinskega sijaja ali barve v kombinaciji z drugimi senčili za oči. Edino kar morate pri tem paziti je, da počakate da se črtalo posuši preden začnete odpirati in zapirati veke. 

Moji absolutni favoriti so Shimmering Amber, Bronze in Electric Blue. Electric Blue je en najlepših modrih odtenkov črtal za oči kar sem jih kdaj preizkusila. Vsekakor en izmed odtenkov, ki jih morate imeti. Bronze in Shimmering Amber sta čisto po mojem okusu. Rada ju uporabljam na spodnji veki namesto senčil za oči.

To so zelo kovinska črtala z oči. Da dobite pravi odtenek, morate nanos večkrat ponoviti. Imajo kremno tekočo formulo, so zelo dolgo obstojna in se hitro posušijo. Aplikator mi ni všeč, ker je pretrd za nanos te formule. Če vam je kakšen odtenek še posebej všeč, pa vsekakor ne odlašajte z nakupom. Z malo potrpežljivosti lahko dosežete izredno lep kovinski videz v obliki črtala za oči ali celo kot senčila.

Review: Avon Magic Effects Neon Nail Polishes (Striking Pink, Red Shock, Orange Blaze, Electric Blue)

Hey Beauties!

If pastels equal spring than neons equal summer. Summer usually means lots of vibrant colorful clothing, hot sun and with that also some fun colorful nails. I am not a huge lover of neon colors, but I do like them on my nail every now and then. Avon added four new nail polish shades to their Magic Effect Neon line.


Shades that are shown on the bottom photo are: Orange Blaze, Striking Pink, Red Shock and Electric Blue. All the shades have small shimmer in them which gives a bit more dimension to the nails and some added shine.

These come in their classic square glass bottles with black plastic tops. In each is 10 ml of product and regular price is 5.90€, but they're currently on offer for 3.30€


Let me just clarify that these are definitely not neon colored nail polishes. Usually neon nail polishes have a very bright neon color and need to be applied over white base to truly show the vibrant effect of neon color. These are definitely not neon colors, I would call them vibrant shades.

That being said, these can be worn on its own and they look just as vibrant. The shimmer in them makes them a bit more interesting and also gives them colorful sheen that sparkles in the sun.

Shimmer is small, so they're not hard to take off. Because of the shimmer I also find that they last a bit longer than usual gel like nail polishes. Formula is a bit on the transparent side. They remind me of gel nail polishes and you'll definitely need two coats to get full vibrancy of the shade. Even with two coats the formula will still let your nail see through a bit.

They lasted around 3 days on me, which is a good staying power for my nails. I have really weak and chipped nails. 

Striking Pink

Bright fuchsia pink with pink and blue shimmer. It looks like a regular bright pink, but small blue shimmer in it gives it a very cool purple blue sheen. 







Orange Blaze

Bright orange with light orange and pink shimmer. Bigger light orange shimmer looks almost look a bit golden, while small pink shimmer in it gives it a pink sheen. It still looks more golden orange when you apply it on the nails.







Red Shock

Pinkish red with pink and gold shimmer. It's more of a raspberry red shade, which looks a bit pinkish and similar to Striking Pink. But this one is warmer and has a bit of a golden sheen to it and looks more red.







Electric Blue

Bright blue with blue shimmer. It's a truly electric blue shade that has a cool tone to it.







I like the fact that Avon loves to add a spin on regular creme nail polishes. They often use glitter to create a bit of a different look to nail polish. These are definitely wrongly named neon, because are in fact not as bright as a true neon shade. I would say these are vibrant summer inspired nail polish shades. The selection is small and I would definitely add some brighter shades like yellows or greens. Formula is nice and it's fairly long lasting. If you find yourself in this small selection, definitely get some. 

My absolute winner and the most unique nail polish shade has to be Electric Blue. I just adore this vibrant blue shade. Shimmer in it makes it unique and perfect for when you want your nails to stand out. As I've been researching colors in my study time, I can guarantee you, you'll get lots of compliments, because apparently blue is the most loved color among most Europeans. I don't find other three shades as unique, but to each he's own. I always said I'm not a lover of blue and I've recently found four new blue nail polish shades that I just adore.

Če na spomlad takoj pomislimo na pastele, potem so neon odtenki tisti, ki nas spomnijo na poletje. Poletje je polno živahnih odtenkov oblačil, močnega sonca in seveda tudi barvitih nohtov. Sama nisem velika oboževalka neon odtenkov, vendar se tu in tam najdejo tudi na mojih nohtih. Avon je v svojo zbirko dodal linijo štirih novih živih odtenkov. Linija se imenuje Magic Effects Neon.


Odtenki, ki so prikazani na fotografiji so: Orange Blaze, Striking Pink, Red Shock in Electric Blue. Vsi odtenki imajo majhne bleščice, ki dajejo lakom malo več 3D dimenzije in hkrati dodaten sijaj. 

Laki se nahajajo v klasičnih kvadratastih stekleničkah z črnim plastičnim pokrovom. V vsakem je 10 ml izdelka in redna cena je 5.90€. Trenutno jih lahko dobite za 3.30€ (tukaj).

Najprej moram razjasniti, da ti laki vsekakor niso pravi neon laki. Po navadi imajo neon laki zelo živ odtenek barve, ki se večkrat nanaša preko bele podlage, da je neon odtenek res viden. Ti odtenki vsekakor niso neon. Sama bi jih mogoče poimenovala kot barvite žive odtenke. 

Avonovi laki se lahko nosijo sami po sebi, brez kakršne koli podlage. Majhne bleščice v njih jih naredijo bolj zanimive in dodajo barvni podlagi malo barvnega sijaja, ki se še posebej lepo blešči pod sončnimi žarki.

Bleščice so zelo majhne in jih ni težko odstraniti. Zaradi bleščic se mi zdi, da so laki tudi bolj obstojni kot navadni. Formula je rahlo prozorna in me spominja na gel lake. Vsekakor boste potrebovali dva nanosa, da bo lak v celoti enakomerno pokril noht. Tudi po dveh nanosih je noht še vedno rahlo viden. 

Na meni so se laki obdržali okrog 3 dni, kar je zelo dobra doba za moje nohte. Imam namreč zelo slabe in cepljene nohte.

Striking Pink

Živa fuksija z roza in modrimi bleščicami. Izgleda kot navaden živ roza odtenek, ampak majhne modre bleščice mu dajo hladen vijolično moder sijaj.

Orange Blaze

Živo oranžna s svetlo oranžnimi in roza bleščicami. Večje svetlo oranžne bleščice izgledajo skoraj zlate, med tem ko majhne roza, dajejo odtenku roza sijaj. Na nohtih odtenek izgleda bolj zlato oranžen odtenek.

Red Shock

Roza rdeča z roza in zlatimi bleščicami. Je bolj malinasto rdeč odtenek, ki izgleda skoraj bolj roza in podoben Striking Pink. Ta je toplejši in ima zlat sijaj, prav tako pa je sam odtenek bolj rdeč kot roza.

Electric Blue

Živo modra z modrimi bleščicami. Gre za pravi živo moder odtenek s hladnim podtonom.

Všeč mi je, da Avon rad preseneča s svojimi laki. Večkrat ustvari drugačne kolekcije, ki niso tipični kremni finiši. Predvsem rad dodaja bleščice, ki imajo same po sebi zanimiv efekt. Ta kolekcija se po mojem mnenju napačno imenuje neon, ker odtenki vsekakor niso pravi neon odtenki. Gre za bolj žive odtenke lakov, ki so črpali inspiracijo iz poletnih barv. Nabor je majhen in sama bi vsekakor dodala še kakšen živ rumen ali zelen odtenek. Formula je dobra in dokaj obstojna. Če se najdete v naboru odtenkov, vam vsekakor priporočam, da kakšnega preizkusite.

Moj absolutni zmagovalec je Electric Blue. Obožujem ta živ moder odtenek. Bleščice v njem mu dajejo unikatnost in naredijo nohte še bolj opazne in zanimive. V času šolanja sem preučevala barve in se naučila, da bi naj bila modra najbolj pribljubljena barva med Evropejci. S tem odtenkom boste zagotovo navdušili veliko mimoidočih pogledov. Ostali trije odtenki se meni osebno ne zdijo tako posebni. Vedno sem trdila, da nimam rada modre, pa sem v prejšnjem mesecu našla kar štiri modre odtenke lakov, ki jih naravnost obožujem.
