Advantages: Makes lips shiny and pouty

Disadvantages: Becomes flakey and cakey in 3 coats, doesn't last long

My mascara and lip gloss are the two cosmetics that I don't leave the house without. I once used this Avon Glazewear Liquid Lip Colour in Buttered Rum shade. The regular price was £6 but I bought it at about £3.50 as it was one of the discounted items of that month.

*************
THE PACKAGING
*************
Avon Glazewear Liquid Lip Colour comes in a transparent 6-cm tube with a black 4.5-cm lid. The tube bulges at the center. The narrow base makes it difficult to stand on my dresser counter. The black lid has a twist-to-open/close design. A 6-cm wand is attached to the black lid and on the tip of the wand is a 1-cm sponge applicator that slants for ease in applying the lip gloss on the lips. The transparent tube makes the liquid content visible.

THE LIQUID LIP GLOSS
******************
Avon Glazewear Liquid Lip Colour has thick liquid formulation so I don't have to worry spilling it out when the tube stumbles whilst it is open. It has a sweet candy-like vanilla scent but it is actually tasteless. The sweet scent is not strong and it gradually goes off in about 2 minutes after applying the lip gloss.

ON THE LIPS
**********
Avon Glazewear Liquid Lip Colour actually feels a little greasy upon application (even when the description says it is non-greasy) but it becomes lighter on the lips in about a minute.

Applying a single coat or 2 makes my lips shiny with that sexy pout. However, putting on 3 coats is just too much. It makes the colour uneven and creates awkward deposits in the creases of the my lips giving them those "gridlines" look. It even tends to get flaky and cakey.

Tip:
When using this lip gloss the first time, try to know how many coatings your lips can handle in front of the mirror. If 3 coatings make the lip gloss flaky, then always settle for 1 or 2 coats. You don't want to mess with your handkerchief when you overdo it outside your home.

*************
STAYING POWER
*************
Avon Glazewear Liquid Lip Colour stays on my lips for 2 hours when I don't eat or drink a cup of coffee. The liquid is highly transferable so it really messes anything that my lips get in contact with.

SUMMARY
********
Avon Glazewear Liquid Lip Colour makes my lips shiny and pouty. Its sweet-candy scent is nice though the smell lasts only for about 2 minutes. It feels greasy on my lips upon application but gradually gets lighter in a minute (What lip gloss on earth doesn't feel greasy at first anyway?).
A single coat or 2 makes the lips look kissable but putting much makes them look flaky and cakey.

Summary: This is a good lip gloss for a cheap price.
