Incredible Pigmentation!
I have completely fallen in love with Galapagos, which is a rich bronze with beautiful golden flecks, not chunks of glitter but a very mature sparkle. And Mekong, which is a beautiful espresso color infused with the same lovely shimmer in gold.
They can both be paired together to create a beautiful, dramatic smokey eye without using black. I personally love creating a smokey eye using brown, especially using dark espresso colors like Mekong in the outer V to really make it pop followed by lining my lash line with Urban Decay's Glide-On Eye Pencil in Bourbon! I love many other NARS products, and I can officially say I can add these two to that long list as well. The pigmentation is incredible and I do not feel that these colors can be duped which is why I believe it is worth the steep $23 price tag!
Works Great On Waterline!
I absolutely love my Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils, so when I heard the buzz about NYX's Slide On Eye Pencils and how comparable they were to Urban Decay's 24/7 pencils I knew I had to pick a few up! Upon first swatching them I instantly fell in love, they have the same creamy consistency as the UD pencils, possibly even a bit creamier (which is a gripe for later on) and they are super pigmented! They come in a wide range of colors just like the UD pencils which makes them very versatile.
After the first day receiving the NYX pencils in the mail, I did not hesitate to use them. I used them on my water line, tight line, and to line my lash line and they did not budge all day.. I was completely in love. And I would have nothing at all bad to say about these super pencils if it weren't for the fact that two of them have already broken (after only having them for two days) and I am finding it impossible to sharpen them with any success. Since they are so creamy, the product wears down almost instantly, and I dread the thought of having to sharpen my favorite in Brown Perfection and be unable to use it. If anyone has any tips on successfully sharpening these pencils, please please let me know!
Overall though, this is a great product for a great value and I will definitely be purchasing again!
My Go-To Palette!
From a beautiful neutral eye, to an eye catching smokey eye this palette does the trick! I find myself reaching for this palette constantly. The eyeshadows themselves are rich, buttery, and extremely pigmented. A perfect selection of colors, and you get your very own brush and mini Primer Potion! An incredible value for such a fantastic product!
