Advantages: gorgeous colours, nice effects, soft, smooth and silky lips - almost like wearing lip balm

Disadvantages: sponge applicator not my favourite

Looking at my make up collection recently, I decided I needed to stock up on some more lipstick and lip gloss. As usual, I ordered some from the Avon catalogue, including two from the Glazewear range, which I hadn’t tried before.

Glazewear comes in long see-through glass tubes, with a dark blue lid and GLAZEWEAR written in dark blue. It is a screw-top lid with a wand and sponge applicator on the end. Each tube contains 5ml, which doesn’t sound much, but seems to last quite a long time.

I also found that these were easier to find in my tapestry bag (I don’t do handbags – think Mary Poppins and you’re close!!), as the regular sized lipsticks tend to get lost amongst everything else I keep there. These are thin, so don’t take up much room but being longer, it seems easier to find them!

The lids are nice and secure too, being twist-top ones, as they seem less likely to come off than the usual ones, so your lipstick doesn’t get damaged. I hate it when the top comes off and you get squashed, useless lipstick mashed up at the bottom of the bag!

There are two kinds of Glazewear products for your lips – Glazewear Glitter and Glazewear for Lips. Both of these cost £4 from the Avon catalogue, although look out for offers in the brochures.

Glazewear Glitter can be used on its own as a lip gloss or over any lipstick, to add a bit of glitter over the colour. It is available in four colours – Silver Glitz, Red Glitz, Gold Glitz and Violet Glitz.

I bought Silver Glitz, which is stunning! It feels soft and silky on your lips, but not sticky. It is quite a subtle effect, you’ll need a couple of coats of it if you want to be as glittery as Big Brother’s Helen! With just one coat of Glazewear Glitter, it catches the light and sparkles very prettily. I love this stuff and so does my eleven year old daughter, so they would make an ideal gift for any young girls into
make-up too. It even tastes nice!

Glazewear for Lips offers ‘a super-glossy finish’ and comes in seven different shades – Gold Digger (golden brown kind of colour), Sunkissed (red-brown), Brown Sugar (brown), Rosebud (dark red), Mystery Mauve (purple-red), Naughty Neutral (looks dark brown to me!) and Tickled Pink (pink-brown).

I bought Tickled Pink, which looks a bit darker than in the brochure, definitely more brown than pink in the bottle. It does look paler once it is on your lips though.

I found the sponge applicators rather small and tricky to use. It seems to take longer to apply than a regular lipstick, but looks good once it is on. I did have to rub it in though to get an even effect. Once again, it tastes nice and is smooth and silky, though not greasy at all.

I would definitely buy these products again and would be happy to try other colours available too. It seems a very good quality product. The Glazewear Glitter is definitely my favourite, but I was impressed with both of them and combined, they look great. I think they are both worth the money as well, because the colours are pretty and the effects are very good.


You will need to re-apply them after a few hours, so I found its longevity comparable to other lipsticks and lip glosses I have used before. It passes the kissing test too, with most of it staying on my lips – although there was an alluring speck of glitter just under his moustache!!
