Review : NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil

I know, I KNOW! It has been awhile since I posted a review on my blog. There are a lot things of things going on and I am really having a hard time juggling everything here and there. So, I hope you guys understand that. :) I am trying my very best to not "abandon" my blog though. LOL So anyways, here is my super late review on my NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk.

This is how the pencil looks like. It is an ordinary pencil but a JUMBO sized one.

All the information you need is written on the pencil itself. You can't see their the important dates though. [ FORGOT TO TAKE A PHOTO. ] 

HYPO- ALLERGENIC / CRUELTY FREE

Net wt. 5g/ O.18oz

I got the shade 604 Milk. It is a creamy liner that can be used as a good eyeshadow base. 

Here is a swatch of the liner.

It is very white and creamy.

The first one is a swatch of an eye shadow from my Wet N Wild Silent Treatment Trio. 

Second is a swatch of the same eye shadow WITH the NYX JEP as a base. 

And then, a swatch of the NYX JEP In Milk. 

I hope you guys can see the difference. :)

PROS ♥

* It is very creamy that's why it glides on your skin easily. 

* You can blend it easily as well. NO HASSLE! 

* It is an amazing eye shadow base. I hope you can see it from the swatches up there! :) 

It really makes the color pop out more and make it look more pigmented. 

* It is affordable. Php 180. 00 pesos is not that expensive, I think. 

and you get a lot of product too.I have been using this for 4-5 months already. 

* Very handy. It won't eat up a lot of space in your kit or purse or whatever. 

CONS.

* It isn't available locally. BUT a lot of online store sells NYX products already. 

* It won't help in preventing oil in your lids/crease. It is a base not a primer.

[ It never claims to help the make up last longer so I think it isn't an issue. ] 

* In connection with the prior statement, if you don't use a primer under it. It will help the oil build up easier. 

I have heard from a few people that they experienced something weird the first time they sharpen it. I did too! I thought it broke or whatever cause it feels like it did. 

 BUT do not worry! It will come easy after the first time you sharpen it. :)

Will I repurchase?! 

Yes. BUT not anytime soon. 

 I use this as a base and sometimes on my lower waterline as well. It is a good product. Amazing base as I have said. I love using it even with my not so pigmented shadows. :) 

Will I recommend?

Yes. 

If you guys are looking for an eye shadow base, this one is a good one! Just make sure to have a good primer as well. :) 

Overall, I love this product! I think it is amazing! :) Awesome for its price. 

Have you guys tried this product already?

 How was your experience with it?

FAVORITES: August 2012.

Is it really September?! You guys aren't tripping me huh?! HAHA It isn't true that August ended already. I cannot believe it, I swear! I know I say it a lot, but it's crazy! I don't know if you guys feel it too, but this year is flying extra fast!

Anyways, I am here to share with you guys the stuffs I have been loving for the past month of August. I know, it feels like I just posted my July Favorites last night. :D Some of the things I will mention are rediscovered or already mentioned on my past favorites. And some are new, I guess. :) Let's rock and roll! ♥

1. Watsons Deep Cleansing Nose Pore Tape

This stuff really works! I will do an in depth review on this baby soon. :) 

2. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

I started using this 3 years ago. And this was the MIRACLE product that helped me with my acne. I stopped using this last June to try out a few products. And when I got this major breakout ( that I still have. ) I have decided to pull this out again and use it. It helped me! It calmed my skin down. But it is really really bad that I needed something stronger. But this baby, AH! I love it! It is a bit expensive but it is worth the money. 

3. Queen Helen Mint Julep Masque

This helped me calm my acne also. I used it together with my Cetaphil, they worked. I will/might do a review on it soon, as well. :)

4. FX Heat Memory Flat Iron Spray

I love using this stuff cause it made ironing my hair easier. And it is a heat protectant as well. It also makes my straightened hair last a bit longer. 

5. Bench So in Love Moisturizing Lotion

Still, I love this for the month of August. I love how "romantic" it smells. :D

6. Zen Zest Eau de Toilette in Tangerine

This has a sweet scent to it that I really love. The scent isn't overwhelming though. It smells really calm. Love it for every day!

7. Zen Zest Eau de Cologne in Seduce

I have mentioned this a few times already. I am obsessed with this scent. It smells crispy but not over powering. It also has a sweet scent to it. 

8. Ever Bilena Advance Studio Finish Stick Foundation in Beige

This one has a good coverage. I love that it makes your skin look glowing and smoother. I have break outs this past month, that's why I need to really cover it up. This bad boy is awesome! I used to use it back in high school and early last year. I love it since then. But I just rediscovered it now.

9. James Cooper Jazzy Collection Cream Foundation in CF 03

This also offers a very nice coverage. I love that I don't need a lot of product to cover up my acnes and blemishes. It also makes your skin look glowing. It is cream that's why you need to set it with powder.

10 Ever Bilena Advance 3D Compact in Dark Baked Fusion

I have mentioned it in my past posts already. I use this one to set my foundation in place. I love that it doesn't make your face look cakey. And lasting power is pretty good. 

11. ELF Bronzer 

I don't need to explain. I love this one! I loved my Pretty Young Thin, but this is my first love. 

12. Ever Bilena Mousse Concealer

This covers really well. It is a mousse, so I think that's one reason why it covers my blemishes really good. 

13. Ever Bilena Blush in Raisin

I love this one ever since I got it. It gives you a fresh natural looking glow. Lasting power isn't that good though. But I still love it. 

14. BOB Super Curl Mascara from Taiwan

This is awesome! I will review it and show you guys how amazing this product is! 

15 NYX JEP in Milk

I have yet to review this. But it is really a good eye shadow base. 

16. Nichido Kohl Pencil in Onyx

Just like last month. :) I love the pigmentation. And it is perfect for tight lining. 

17. NYX Matte in Shocking Pink

Rekindled love affair?! haha yes! I absolutely am wearing this one a lot lately. I'm running out of it though, that's why I am trying to use it less often. :) 

18. Maybelline ColorSensational in Fifth Ave Fuchsia

LOVE IT! ♥

19. Carmex Lip Balm

OH HELLO!!! Isn't it obvious?! :D

20 ELF Mechanical Lash Curler

It really curls the lashes. PLUS it's very cheap and affordable. It feels sturdy and it will last you a long time. 

21 Fashion21 Big Blending Brush

I use this as an all over eye brush. I use this for the lids, crease and for blending. It is very multi functional. Very cheap as well!

22. Marionnaud N32 Blush Brush

My first ever brush! I love this one too. It can be used as a foundation brush, blush brush and a lot more. I love how dense and soft it is. Amazing for the price!

FAVORITE MOVIE/SERIES

 ♥GOSSIP GIRL

I haven't watched any movies this month. But I have been so addicted to Gossip Girl AGAIN! For the nth time. HA HA! I finished season 1 -5 for less than 2 months late last year/early this year. 

And now, I started all over again from season 1. It's like my 3rd of 4th time repeating it. haha It is very addicting!

Review : NYX Round Lipsticks.

WARNING: PHOTO HEAVY post ]  

Hey! I was out the whole day, that is why I am making this post just now. So, I will go straight to the main "purpose" of the post now. :)

If you have been following me for quite some time now. You already know how I adore lipsticks. As I have mentioned on my Lipstick Tag post, I own 34 lippies as of the moment. 15 of them are from NYX Cosmetics' Round Lipsticks. I have quite a lot of it because I was overwhelmed on how cheap it is and how beautiful the colors are. I just cant help myself. LOL.

NYX Round Lipsticks. 

I got it last year for Php 100.00 each but I had to wait for more than a month. I forgot where though. It was from an online shop but I seriously forgot the name. But Kering-keri Store sells them for PHp 130.00 each, on hand. CHECK THE STORE NOW! 

HERE ARE THE SHADES I OWN. [ not in particular order. ]

I actually got a lot of pink shades because I want to "play" safe. I wanted to have wearable shades so that my money won't go to waste. BUT honestly, I don't really use them a lot. Why?! Read on! 

I like how simple and chic the packaging is. It is a simple black tube but the "designs" around the brand name and the fonts used added some fun vibe to it. 

What you see on the bottom is also the color you get. [ in most of the shades. ]

You can also see the ingredients list and other important infos on the side of the tube. 

And then you can see the shade and the weight on the top of the lid. 

Hand Swatches. 

PINKS.

NUDES. 

And the REDS.

[ If you want to see lips swatches on my RED lipsticks. Click HERE. ]

The finish of the lipsticks aren't matte. But it isn't too glossy as well. They are very creamy but not all of them are pigmented enough for my super pigmented lips. :D

PROS. 

-- They have a wide range of colors that you can choose from. Nudes to Pinks and Reds. 

-- It is very creamy. So, it glides on smoothly on the lips. 

Good pigmentation. I do think that the pigmentation is quite good. Especially the darker shades. 

-- Its cheap! I got it for 100. And I have seen online shops selling it for 130 -150 pesos. 

Visit Kering- keri Store on Facebook. 

-- I like the packaging. Very simple but not too dull. I thinks it looks so chic. And also, it won't eat up tons of space inside your kit. 

-- I think they smell really nice. For me, they do smell like candies. That might be an issu for others but not for me. :)

CONS

-- They melt easily! Especially in the kind of weather we have. A lot of them that I own are broken already because of the heat. I think they are really made for cold countries. 

-- Some aren't that pigmented. 

-- The lasting power isn't that long. It will fade after 2-3 hours.  And I don't like that I need to keep on retouching it.

-- They are not moisturizing at all. BUT isn't that drying as well. 

-- Sometimes I don't like the creaminess of it. Some shades tend to look super thick after 2 or more coats. 
UPDATE: For others it smells and taste like soap. I don't know why it smells like candy for me. hehe. But I agree that it taste like soap.

Here are the TOP 5 shades that I love the most. 

[ lip swatches ]

Fire, Thalia, Spellbound, Hero and Paris. 

If you guys notices, my upper lip is really dark. I do not smoke or anything. But it is like that ever since I was a kid. That's why I cannot really wear sheer lipsticks or whatever. :) 

I also like and recommend Hermes, Fig, Louisiana and Pink Lyric.

Will I repurchase?!

I don't think I need more from the brand/line. I have been meaning to buy lipsticks with BETTER quality and lipsticks that I can really use. 

Will I recommend?!

YES! I think it is perfect for every day use. If you want a huge selection of colors, definitely check this out! 

Overall, I like them. They make me happy!

I have said that I will buy BETTER quality lippies but I didn't say that there are bad ones. I was just saying that I know there are a lot more better ones out there. But overall, for the price, quality and color selection. THUMBS UP! ♥

So, that's it for this review. I know a few people who are waiting for this one. hehe
I apologize that it took me awhile. :) I hope you guys enjoyed this. MWAH! ♥

Have you guys tried any shade from this brand/line already?! What shade is your most favorite?! Do you want ti try this lipsticks out?!

Random : All about my Lipsticks [ Lipstick collection, Favorite lipstick and Lipstick Tag ]

As you guys already know, I am a huge lipstick fan! At first, it wasn't my thing. I was okay with a powder and blush, but then I discovered lipsticks. And holy macaroni!! I think it is one of the most beautiful thing ever created! They make me happy. Every time I feel down, I put them all out and swatch them all over and over again. ( LOL. Weird?! ) I don't really understand why, but it makes me feel better. Being an "impulsive" buyer, I was more on the quantity than the quality. But I have a learned a lot that's why I am planning on investing on products with better quality ( even if it's expensive. YES! ) 

A month ago, I asked on FB if you guys recommend a fun tag that I should do. And Miss Nicole Paler of Axons and Dendrites recommended me this tag that she saw on KIKAYSIMARIA's blog. I think it's really a fun tag, and it's so me! So, I am doing it now! ♥

As of the moment, I have 34 lipsticks/lip tints on hand. I haven't used all of them, well 80 percent of them. NOT EVEN ONCE! Bad?! I know! And I also am aware that a lot of you or other bloggers have more lipsticks than I do, and they have better quality ones. But I just want to share with you guys what I have for more than a year of collecting makeup. :)
