I have a few Eyeshadow Crayons in my collection and I really like using them, I have reviewed the Rimmel Shadow Stick here and I also love the elf ones and the double ended Avon ones too. This one from Avon is quite similar to the Rimmel ones but has less shimmer.
Avon is a brand that I use on a regular basis, I own quite a few of their products and love getting the Avon Catalogue through the door, I don’t think there is a month where I don’t order something (don’t tell my husband). I took a gamble on this Color Trend Eyeshadow Pencil, as it’s from their younger range (not that I am old), but I haven’t tried anything from it before. Knowing I was already a fan of other brands shadow pencils I thought it might be nice to try.
The formula is quite creamy for a shadow stick and I found this great when blending it out, it glides on my eyelids smoothly but if you have oily lids you might want to pop a little primer on first – only because I think this might just slip right off if worn alone.
I wear this all over my lid and blend it out with a brush, just to make the edges a little softer. I have worn eyeshadow over the top and that looked good too, my eyeshadow was bold and stayed in place all day. I like that these shadow sticks can be worn alone or teamed up with shadow for a bolder more long wearing eye look. The colour I bought was in Lioness and it’s a deep bronze with a tiny hint of shimmer, but you really can’t notice the shimmer unless your up close.
I seem to be all about the effortless makeup look these past few months, anything that saves me time when getting ready is a winner with me and these Jumbo Eyeshadow sticks are just that. I think this Lioness shade will make a pretty Autumn / Winter colour. Looking through my collection I seem to have built up quite a few bronze coloured products, I can’t seem to resist a them. I’m such a hoarder.
These Colortrend Eye Pencils come in 3 shades Lioness, Elephant Grey and Roaring Blue all are £4 from Avon
What Jumbo Eyeshadow pencils have you tried & would recommend?
I’m not normally a fan of Avon, they are quite hit and miss in my opinion. Plus I also find jumbo pencils hard to work with, I’ve got Benefits one and I often make such a mess! Would like to have a go again and maybe smudge it out like you’ve suggested!

I have never tried the Benefit ones – will have to have a look at them next time Im at the Benefit counter
I think I need to get an eyeshadow pencil for speedy application! I like the colour of this one, I’ve already being eyeing up a few in the Avon catalogue.
Actually looks quite decent. The ones collection just released are great. They do NOT budge at all. Even using a sponge scourer on my forearm didn’t get the swatches off!

I’ve been trying to find this on the online avon store but having no luck. Is it only available in the catalogue? I really want one dammit!
