The above video shows what the eyeliner looks like when used on a piece of paper and how smoothly it applies! It is much easier to apply onto skin though because there is a slight texture to the paper!

Price I Paid
This normally retails at about £6 but it is frequently on offer for £3 or 2 for £6.
Design
This is a pencil eyeliner with a gel formula which is absolutely great. It is easy to use and unlike many pencils very easy to sharpen to a nice point which is a bonus.
Colour
It comes in a wide range of colours including black, blackberry, silver, aqua pop etcetc. I really like this blue because it is vibrant without looking clown-like. It is also slightly shimmer (not glittery) which is lovely.
Blue eyeliner looks great on most eye colours although when using blue eyeliner near blue eyes it actually makes the blue of your eye seem less vibrant which is a shame. I would recommend that those with blue eyes who want to use blue eyeliner use a darker blue, navy eyeliner rather than lighter/brighter colours such as this avon pencil.
Texture
The texture of this product is absolutely amazing. I really could not recommend it enough because it is possible to create a really smooth perfect line as the formula is more liquid than solid. The only thing that is slightly annoying is that it needs a minute to dry before you properly open your eyes otherwise you end up with those halos on your upper eyelid. Once it is dry though it does not budge at all, as you can see from the photos above after wiping it with my hand three times the formula has not moved at all which is extremely impressive. It does need a good eye makeup remover to get it off though but if you don't mind scrubbing a little it does come off with any makeup wipe.
How To Apply
I find that it is easiest to apply this with one smooth movement from the inner corner of my eye to the outer corner with my right hand whilst stretching my eyelid out slightly to make the skin smooth and taught with the other hand. I use this eyeliner in my waterline on my bottom eyelid and although it doesn't stay it seems to gravitate towards my eyelashes which just leaves a perfect line underneath my lashes.
Overall Reaction
This is one of my favourite eyeliners and it comes in some really jazzy colours so it is well worth the money!
10/10
