NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils

- Vacation Note -

I am currently on vacation so the following post is an older post that i wrote up a while back. I have already scheduled a few posts to be automatically posted during the course of my vacation so dont worry, there will still be posts to read! I apologize in advance because i dont think i will be getting any internet connection and therefore will not be able to reply to comments and questions. However, please feel free to continue on commenting and emailing as i will for sure reply to all once i come home or if i ever get internet connection. thank you and enjoy!

P.S. - i am most likely going to start my next giveaway when i come back.. so bookmark Pinkbox Makeup and check back for updates of when it'll start and what you can do to win! :D Im still deciding if i should do one bigger giveaway prize or two smaller ones. let me know which one you think is better in the comments!

- and now.. onto the post! -


 I finally picked up these NYX jumbo eye pencils to try out for myself and WOW! they truely deserve all the hype and raves they get from bloggers & youtubers! Of course, i have been searching for Milk for FOREVER. seems like Milk & i just arent meant to be. Everytime i order a haul online or go to rexall (which stocks NYX), Milk is always out of stock. ALWAYS. :( so i've given up for now and have been deciding if i should just get it off ebay even with pricer shipping costs :(... we will see

Anyways, back on track.. i bought 3 NYX jumbo eye pencils in the shades Slate, French Fries and Cottage Cheese. Here are the pictures & swatches of each :D


top to bottom:

These are unbelievably creamy!!!! the colors are so super pigmented and blend easily. Only thing is, they blend a bit TOO easily haha sometimes i blend too much and the color kind of disappears... but these are definately great to use as a base color! if you havent already, i'd highly recommend for you to test these out! As for myself, i need to go back to Rexall and see if theres any other colors i want! hehe and hopefully, *crossing fingers*, they have Milk!! :D

So let me know, what do you think about these? Which colors are your favourite? I would love to hear some opininos before heading back to the drugstore!

i love love love the jumbo eye pencils! i only own 6 i think and i really like horse raddish which is a green colour and this blue one... it's like an ocean blue colour but i forgot the name :p
i use their white one (milk) a lot to highlight the brow bone and inner corners of the eyes :)

I've only tried the Milk pencil, and I love it! I use it every day as an eyeshadow primer and it really works great! I've never had trouble finding it at Ulta, maybe you should check there if you have one near you, or even check their website!

I just started a beauty blog and found your link on MakeupGeek, so I added your link and subscribed :) I'll def. be back soon!

I have been looking everywhere for milk too =(

makes me sad. Can we see you applying to your eyes when you get back? I'm just wondering how it actually looks on someone's lids. =)

it seems like it's really pigmented for sure.

I actually didn't like these. They were so prone to creasing. Before I managed to apply any e/s on top of it, it'll be gone in a few blinks. But I love the colours though! Just wish they could be worn by itself :(

awww.. i have heard of that problem from many other bloggers/youtubbers! and it is so sad :( the colors are amazing. but i do agree with you, these colors just blend away so fast :( going to have to test them out as a base!

Oh! I have a spare Milk! If you're still having trouble finding it, let me know and you can have my spare (they had them briefly at the Pharmasave in Airdrie, so I got one for me, my cohort Tracey and a spare - but for the sake of another beauty blogger, i'm willing to part with it!).

E-mail me and let me know if you want it. :)
