NYX jumbo eye pencils are a dream come proper in your pockets, your limited time and your fabulous, deserving eyes. ;-) I have Oyster, Strawberry Milk, Yogurt, Cashmere, Peacock, Milk and Cottage Cheese. They are some distance less high priced than Urban Decay or maybe Maybelline Color Tattoo or Loreal Infallible -- approximately half of the price of the remaining two and about a 3rd of the fee of Urban Decay. THE PRODUCT IS ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME, with very few differences. For example, in a aspect-with the aid of-facet contrast, Maybelline Color Tattoo's "Too Cool" and NYX "Cottage Cheese" appearance identical on. The saturation, coverage, coloration and shine are exactly the same. Except that Maybelline is $7 an NYX is $4! Urban Decay is $14!! For an in-intensity assessment of NYX to Urban Decay, go to makeupgeek.Com "product smackdowns" (no, I am now not affiliated with her, only a massive fan). NYX is extra convenient because you can seize some, throw them to your purse and pass. You do not need a brush, just your finger to the touch up and blend. They CAN BE SHARPENED VERY EASILY (more on that within the relaxation of this assessment) and, while nicely applied, do no longer crease. Milk (by using far the maximum popular and beneficial of the colours) has multiple makes use of and need to be your new makeup bag staple. I without a doubt desire NYX doesn't catch directly to how super and handy their jumbo pencils are and start charging us greater -- it is RARE that we ladies can locate an less expensive product that certainly WORKS and makes us happy we purchased it. They may be bought on Amazon, of direction, however additionally (for the ones of us on the East Coast) at Ulta. A few hints and feedback: *SHARPENING: There is lots of talk online approximately desiring to depot your Jumbo Pencil a good way to use it because the product is so creamy (the purpose it's so clean to apply and looks so amazing on) that when you try to sharpen it, it turns to mush. NOT TRUE. You can surely depot your Jumbo Pencils if you want that utility, but it is a lot greater handy to apply them as a pencil and plenty extra trouble than it's miles worth as soon as you recognize the way to sharpen them. You need pliers, an empty shadow pan, a hot hair dryer and hundreds of time and endurance to depot your pencils. You most effective need a touch know-the way to sharpen them. A no-brainer. 1) Get an less expensive E.L.F. Or NYX twin sharpener ($four -- it has two sharpeners facet-through-side, one everyday sized, one huge, with a removable cover to seize the shavings) and use the large aspect for polishing your Jumbo Pencil. 2) PUT YOUR NYX JUMBO PENCILS IN THE FREEZER FOR 15 MINUTES. The side wherein the pencil meets the product appears and feels like plastic but it is not -- it's far clearly very closely shellacked wood. If you sharpen your Jumbo Pencils within about 5 mins of taking them out of the freezer, they sharpen pretty easily. No product is wasted and they're much like new. 3) Use a q-tip to cast off any creamy product from the blades of the sharpener so the next color doesn't transfer or smear and also you start with a smooth sharpener. You are absolutely welcome :) *DIFFERENT USES FOR THE COLOR "MILK": 1) Eye Primer/Base -- I use E.L.F. Face Primer, Revlon PhotoReady basis, E.L.F. Eyeshadow Primer and a light dusting of powder and then run Milk at the decrease lid of my eye (not into the crease) and mix it a piece. BAM! Any coloration that is going on top now not most effective stays on longer but without a doubt POPS. I actually have by no means had a trouble with creasing after I prep my lids this manner. You can in reality pile on the product and it remains placed. If you want more insurance, dust your eyes with a bit powder when you're completed together with your shadow (before you placed on mascara) and use a makeup set/finishing mist (E.L.F. Finishing Mist is $3 at Target and works wonderfully). 2) Use Milk for your lower water line -- in reality opens your eyes three) Milk blended on the center decrease lid as a finishing accessory -- it provides pop, size and a more herbal accessory 4) Brow accent -- mixed proper below your eyebrows within the top/outer nook to create intensity and assessment five) Finishing concealer -- to cowl and cover any flaked eyeshadow/liner below your eyes once you are finished 6) Inner tear duct accessory -- just a dot combined in every corner opens and brightens your eye The uses move on and on. You should buy Milk in a 3-percent -- well worth the acquisition as they move FAST. *COLOR SATURATION: The only motive NYX Jumbo Pencils do no longer get five stars is due to the fact the lighter colorations aren't as saturated as they could be. Oyster, Strawberry Milk, Yogurt and Cashmere are BEAUTIFUL, but not saturated colors for fairer pores and skin. They are silky, shimmery and natural, however not vibrant. I am very light and those are more like accessory hues to either make a sweet shimmery forehead highlight or a end for the middle of the lower lid to create a lighter impact against a darkish historical past. No doubt if you have darker pores and skin, a lot of these shades will display up nicely and be splendid on you. Peacock, then again, is a beautifully saturated green-blue shade that mixes and blends splendidly with Cottage Cheese and Oyster to create an ocean-themed summery eye that isn't always over the top (although Peacock should certainly be used for large drama -- specially if you line your eyes with black. Va-va-VAVOOM!) Since they're creamy and well-made, all NYX jumbo pencils blend and mix thoroughly -- the lighter colorings may even combo completely out if coaxed enough with a broom or your finger. But their staying power isn't always as exact as a product like Maybelline Color Tattoo, for instance. This is right in case you want to get your makeup off extra without problems at the stop of the day! Color Tattoo takes cleaning soap, water, scrubbing and cold cream to clearly eliminate. NYX takes as many steps (for me -- I want a CLEAN face at bedtime) but now not as lots elbow grease. So, lengthy and quick: JUST GET THESE. Totally well worth it!
