I'm sorry that I have been away from blogging world this few months. I have no excuses for that. My bad... :(
For the side note, I will give you special exciting announcement at the end of this post, so please read it through :)
But for now, I'm back with a new review of my current favorite pencil eyeliner. Once again, it is from my favorite brand, NYX.
I was actually in need of purchasing new pencil eyeliner, that's why I decided to try NYX Slide on Pencil. This product was actually released two years ago and I've heard so many good reviews about it, that's why I was certain to pick this product as my new buddy in my makeup collection.
Product Description (by NYX Cosmetics)
The formula is waterproof, doesn’t smear or smudge, and provides extreme color. It’s like a liquid eye liner in a pencil without the mess. There are 18 shades offered, and these retail for $8.
My thoughts
Overall, I would say that I'm loving this pencil eyeliner so much and never forget to bring it along inside my makeup pouch. As what NYX has claimed, it glides on the skin very easily. All you need is just one swipe and it perfectly pigmented. I normally wear it on my waterline and it has minimal smudging compare to other brands I've tried before. For getting them off at once is also require a good makeup remover. So, I definitely agree that they are actually waterproof.
I actually got two shades of them, Jet Black and Purple Blaze.
Jet Black is a deep matte black, and Purple Blaze is a shimmery purple shade. Jet Black is a kind of must have pencil eyeliner, meanwhile Purple Blaze is more on fun side. Here are the swatches:

PROS:
- Regarding the price, this product is definitely a steal. As you might heard from other review that these pencils are the closest dupe to Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil. Honestly I've never tried the Urban Decay one, but considering that comparison, this product is worth the hype
- They are very easy to use, and offer 18 beautiful and vibrant shades selections you might have seen
- If you in need of waterproof eyeliner, this pencil is absolutely a go
- It might smudge a little bit, especially if you have oily eyelids. You might need a few minutes to let it set
- The color is very creamy and pigmented
- This pencil can be sharpened using any regular size eye pencil sharpener
So far, I don't have any cons for the product. I'd give a thumbs up for NYX Slide on Pencil and definitely recommend it to you all. Please let me know in the comment below if you ever tried this pencil liner and how you think about it. I also open for any good pencil liner recommendation from you.
