NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Purple Velvet 623A


Hey Lovelies,

Hope you all are having a great weekend .Sunday Funday is about to get over. Today I am gonna review one of the most raved product NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil

My Shade is NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil  - Purple Velvet 623A



What NYX Cosmetics Claims:

NYX Cosmetics Jumbo Eye Pencil Shadow Liner .A radiant eye liner that also doubles as an eye shadow. Made with a blend of mineral oil and powder, our creamy Jumbo Eye Pencils glide on effortlessly—no pulling, tugging or fading—and come in a rainbow of vivid hues. Some call her chubby. We say voluptuous. Available in 32 shades.

Ingredients:

Bees Wax, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) wax,  Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) wax, Ceresin,  Microcrystalline Wax, Polyethylene, Octyldodeanol , Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Isostearyl Isostearate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Tocopheryl Acetate, B.H.A, Isopropylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Butylparaben, and Polyethylene Terephthalate.  MAY CONTAIN:  Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxide Red (CI 77491), Iron Oxide Yellow (CI 774992), Iron Oxide Black (CI 77499), FD&C Blue No.1 Aluminum Lake (CI 42090), FD&C Yellow No.5 Aluminum Lake (CI 19140), Chromium Oxide Green (CI 77288), Carmine (CI 75470), Ultramarine Blue (CI 77007), or Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510)


Price : 3 RO  (Rs 400 ) for 5gms, Made in Taiwan


                            
My Opinion:

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil is a much hunted product, my shade is 623A Purple Velvet which is a Glossy Purple Shade with a grey Undertone, It has a creamy, non-crease formula that glides on smoothly and can be used as both an eye shadow and an eye liner. These Jumbo pencils are opaque and can to be used as a base underneath the eye shadows.

The texture of Jumbo Eye Pencil is slightly sticky but being a cream formula it’s easily blendable. It comes in a plastic white tube with all the details from Made in to the ingredients which I loved. Transparent Cap/Top helps us to identify the product easily. If applied by itself it lasts for about 2 hours..Because it smears away, therefore to maintain the color it’s always advisable to use a shadow on it. If your eye shadow is not pigmented as required try to use these as a base and it would look awesome.

Pros:
·         Base for the eye shadows or pigments
·         Does not crease or dry out
·         Apply it lightly for a wash of color by blending with a finger, under the eyeshadow.
·         Creamy texture highly pigmented, some shades are perfect for the waterline to open up your eyes.
·         Is available in an astounding array of shades for day and night as well.
·         Jumble an eye shadow and eye liner all-in-one
·         NYX is a Cruelty free cosmetics brand.

Cons:
·         Major con for me is I don’t have a sharpener. L, wish to get it soon.
·         Lasting power is poor if applied by itself also it leaves a stain behind.



In the below pic, the sunlight is directly on my Eyes hence it is looking more Pinkish whereas in the above pic , i am a bit far away from my window.



Products i have used to create above look : I have used NYX Jumbo Pencil Purple Velvet as a base ,Pinkish Purple Eye shadow from Inglot Shade no 386 for this Look., Colossal Kajal, Maybelline Gel Eye Liner and Colossal Mascara.

Recommendation:

Yes I highly recommend this product there are also other shades which are worth trying Black Bean, Slate, Yogurt and Milk (Milk is definitely the highest selling Jumbo Pencil )

3.5/5

NYX Caribbean Collection I dream of Barbados Review and Swatch


Dear Ladies,

Hope summers are treating you well….it’s really getting hotter day by day..pheww
My review today is on an Eye shadow Palette from NYX.

My Opinion on the I dream of Barbados:
NYX is a brand with some excellent quality eye shadows. I dream of Barbados is part of NYX’s Caribbean Collection of eye shadow palettes which contains 5 eye shadows .This particular palette is cool-toned, purple and lilac themed. There is a light-medium pale lilac with a frost finish, charcoal-black with a silver sheen , Barbie pink with blue undertones , cool-toned bluish gray with a soft frost sheen, and a fuchsia-purple with a satin sheen.


Of all the palettes I swatched at the counter this was the most pigmented one.A mix of purple, pink, grey, and black.Great for a purple Smokey eye.Colors are great together. The pigmentation is super (unfortunately there is some fallout).

What NYX claims about I dream of Barbados : 

Like a sunset blazing over a tropical beach, these collections each of five best-selling NYX eye shadow colors are undeniably dreamy. Each of the different eye shadow palettes is inspired by an island getaway. Expect rich pigments, lasting payoff and jet-set glamour.

 Colors from left to right:
1. Light muted lavender shade with slight shimmer frost.
2. Charcoal black with shimmers.
3. Cool toned pastel pink.
4  Light silver grey with slight shimmers.
5. Medium purple with slight shimmer frost.

Price of NYX’s Caribbean Collection I dream of Barbados : For 8g Rs 850-950 Online in India.
Product is Made in China




Pros of I dream of Barbados:
·        Can keep experimenting with this palette. It seems like every-time I wear it I create a different look with it.
·        All 5 shades are well pigmented.
·        You can use the 3 colors for day and the other 2 colors to darken the eye makeup for night.
·        Really love how compact it is. And yes, I'm planning to get more the next time I buy from NYX again

Cons of I dream of Barbados:
·        Little fallout
·        Base has to be applied before applying them




Would I recommend I dream of Barbados?
I HIGHLY recommend this one. An Ideal Palette for a Purple Smokey Eye.
I bought the products myself for my personal use and I am not affiliated with any company. Everything I said in this review is my genuine honest opinion :)

NYX Eyeshadow Trio Review and Swatches

Hey Gals,

How are you doing??





Today i would be doing a swatch and a review on my latest NYX trio eyeshadow in NUDE/TAUPE/DARK BROWN.

Shade no is TS 03.




 Above is with Flash


This one is without Flash.

This trio is ideal for day and night as well. While buying this i was actually looking for some neutrals and natural shades. I love this Palette and i use it almost everyday. I have got it on sale, and even if i run out of it i would be happy to buy it again at the normal price.

Pros:

  1. The Shades are really pigmented and no fall-offs.
  2. The Nude shade can be used as an Eye Base or as an highlighter because it has some shimmer to it.
  3. It goes with the everyday natural look. It would look great with brown or green/blue eyes.
  4. Travel Friendy.
  5. Quality and pigmentation are decent
  6. Its a Mix of Shimmery , Pearly and Matte Shades.
Cons:
  1. Not waterproof.


I paid around 3 OMR for this product. I have also got one more from a NYX Caribbean Collection. i will soon give the review and swtaches for that pallete also.

Ratings : 4 out of 5.

I am also looking for more such trios from NYX .
