Review: NYX Slide on Pencil Jet Black & Purple Blaze

Hello everybody...

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:

Top: Purple Blaze
Bottom: Jet Black

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.

Review: NYX Felt Tip Eye Liner

Hi everyone ^^

To repay back my lack of post recently, here is another review of my favorite NYX products. I remember I was raving about how I like NYX Liquid Black Eyeliner in my previous post, please click if you would like to read the review. Recently, I tried their pen marker eyeliner and surprisingly I fall in love with this too <3. Yeah, in this post I'll talk all about NYX Felt Tip Eye Liner. 

Product Description 

(info from NYX official website) 

NYX Felt Tip Eye Liner eye marker creates a smudge-proof, budge-proof and waterproof line that lives up to its description as a “one-day tattoo.” The eye liner marker releases the ideal amount of ink for decidedly dramatic peepers. Available in 3 mysterious shades: Extreme black, Jet black, and Dark brown

Ingredients

Water, Acrylates Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Aminomethyl Propanol, Laureth-21, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Hydrolyzed Conchiorin Protein, Perilla Ocymoides Extract,Propylparaben, Aloe Barbadensis Extract, Methylparaben. May contain: Neheneth-30, Alcohol, Sodium Polyaspartate, Ethylparaben, Disodium Edta, Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide, Iron Oxides, D&C Black.

Pros

• It is super easy and practical to use, because it basically looks like lining and drawing with a normal pen marker. 
• The tip is super fine and sharp that makes really easy to create a precise line, either thin or thicker. 
• I got mine in the Jet Black shade and it is a deep dark black. I don't really know much for the difference shade between Jet Black and Extreme Black. But for me, the Jet Black one already has a perfect black consistency.
• The formula is pretty inky. It also glides on smoothly with no pulling or tugging. It dries pretty quick too once you applied it on the eyelids.
• It doesn't smudge and stays on pretty long.
• Affordable price. I got it around 7.00US$ or Rp 95.000. You might purchase it at Cherry Culture or Enchanté Yourlittlesecret

Cons

• I'm really pleased because this eyeliner is waterproof, like they claimed. However, it does a bit tricky to remove the line thoroughly. Either you need a better make up remover or you need to rubbing it for few times. Therefore, it is also better to create nice line on your eyelids from the beginning rather than to remove and repeat. 
• I heard some complaints that this product itself dry pretty fast, and you could not use the liner anymore. Probably some of you might experience the same thing.  Personally, I have no problems with that up to now. I just make sure that I use this eyeliner pretty often and never forget to close the cap properly once I'm done using it. I guess it is the same case if you have normal pen marker at home, you might find it dry if you never use it for long time or the cap was opened for some time.  

Overall thought

I know that NYX Felt Tip Eye Liner is not the only marker liner available in the market. But overall I'm always pleased with NYX products and can't resist to try this product particularly. Despite the tricky removal process, I love this eyeliner. It has no smudge, waterproof, lasts all day, easy to use, nice consistency, and pretty affordable. I really like to use this particular eyeliner to create wing liner or cat eye look because its precision tip. I definitely will repurchase this felt tip eyeliner and recommend you all to try, especially for a make up beginner.

Have you tried this pen marker eyeliner? Do you have any other recommendation of felt tip liner??

Lastly, HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! Wishing you all love, peace, and happiness!! <3

Amour,

Review: NYX Liquid Black Liner Collection Noir

I have been all about NYX recently since my friend introduced me to this brand. NYX offers a lot of good quality products yet in affordable price. That's why don't be too surprised if I picked up and did review most of NYX products. After testing my new NYX Liquid Black Liner from Collection Noir for more than a month, I discovered that this product has been my most favorite eyeliner for this month. Absolutely love it!!! <3

Without further ado, let's see what do I like about this product:

1. The thin brush with a precision tip

NYX Liquid Black Liner comes with a fairly thin brush, perfect to draw a precise line, especially for a winged liner lover. Basically with this eyeliner, you could have either super thin line or build it up into thicker line, just as you prefer. It also glides smoothly during application. As you saw in the image, the wand is a little bit long. I feel it's much easier to control with a shorter wand. 

2. The eyeliner formulation

NYX Liquid Black Liner is the only liquid eyeliner as part of NYX Collection Noir, and only available in jet black shade. Not forget to mention, I love the formulation of this liquid liner. It is not too watery or too thick either, just has the perfect opaque black consistency.  

3. Long-lasting wearing

Although this product is not stated as waterproof eyeliner, I would define it as a long wearing liquid eyeliner. I have quite dry skin and it last perfectly on me around 8 hours of wear. Even if you have oily skin, I saw many reviews that it actually still lasted quite long hours. In the matter of smudge-proof, I tried to rub it when I did the swatch on my hand, and it evidently didn't smudge. 

Below is some snaps of the result:

So, if you are looking for the must-have black liquid eyeliner in affordable price, I definitely recommend NYX Liquid Black Liner from Collection Noir. If you want to have one, you might pre-order it online through Enchanté Yourlittlesecret.

Have you ever tried this liquid liner or other any NYX Eyeliner?? What do you think of them??

Amour,
