NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil

-
Best seller for years. NYX jumbo eye pencil are the best creations from NYX and are in every beauty junkies' draw. So I thought I'd pick up a couple to try out.



Packaging:
These jumbo pencils come in a white thick tube with a clear plastic cap. The product name is on the bottom front side of the pencil. These are the exact length of a normal eyeliner pencil, except the NYX are thicker in width and do not self sharpen. They do need an extra large pencil sharpener.

Smell:
None.

Colour:
604 Milk - white colour. Opaque pigmentation with a matte finish.
617 Iced Mocha - warm toned brown with some golden sheen to it. Opaque pigmentation with a satin finish. Available in 28 shades.



Texture/ Formula:
The formula of these pencils make them long lasting with a creamy texture and are pigmented. I would recommend however to put an eye primer down before using these as a shadow as if not these can crease. Long lasting, no transferring. There is a little time to smudge them once applied but after that theres no smudging. Easy to apply and remove.

I have worn these both as their own shade and underneath powder shadows. The white really emphasis light shades and is great for the inner corners of the eye. The brown helps to deepen shadows.

I would most defiantly buy these two shades again as well as branch out my colour selection and buy more. They are good quality eye pencils at a decent price. I feel as though these pencils are handy with the great pigmentation of an eyeshadow in the convenience of a stick.

Available:
From Target and crushcosmetics.com.au for $6.60 each.

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
