NYX Jumbo Pencils Swatches and Review!


Recently I went to Ulta and bought 5 NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils! I have heard a lot about them and I was excited to try them out:) I have been watching lots of videos about them on YouTube and I decided to buy some. I bought Yogurt, Milk, Iced Mocha, Pure Gold and Purple Velvet!

These were about $4.49 each, which is more expensive then the NYX website- plus I had to pay tax.

The first thing i noticed was that they are very creamy. My other colors were more creamy then the Milk pencil, but it might just be the one that I bought. They seem to tug on your lid a little bit when you use them, but I also have large eyelids so it might be that I have extra skin on them and the pencil gets caught. So far, I love my Jumbo Pencils! I use them as bases for my powder eyeshadows. They do tend to crease, but I don't mind the way they look. My favorite has to be either the Yogurt or Iced Mocha-they both have a sheen to them.  Pure Gold also has a sheen, but Purple Velvet and Milk are matte. These are a pretty good value-but I am confused on how I am going to sharpen them since the tip is plastic! I definitely want to buy all the colors-these pencils are great by themselves or with a shadow!

Stay beautiful <3
