NYX Jumbo Pencils: Pure Gold, Lavender, and Lime/Lemon Review and Swatches!!!

From L-R (Lemon/Lime, Lavender, Pure Gold). For some reason the camera isn't picking up the swatches like its suppose to.





REVIEW:
Hey everyone! Great news I finally found a way to upload ALL the makeup I bought these past few weeks and it has been quite a bit. For starters, I had to write a blog on the NYX Jumbo pencils first. These pencils are A-MAZE-ING! I can't believe I jumped on the bandwagon so late! I bought mine in Pure Gold, Lavender, and Lime/Lemon (I believe NYX changed the name of this color, but its still the same shade just different name). These jumbo pencils are a MUST have for every girl. I have been mainly using my jumbo pencils under the Maybelline Stylish Smokes quad to separate and emphasize certain colors. For some reason on my complexion the colors in the Maybelline quad don't show how I want them to and blend way to well( I know it sounds weird). So I use my jumbo pencil in Lavender on my lid up into the crease, blend it out with my fingers then I use the Amethyst Smokes Quad. For some reason with the jumbo pencil under my eyeshadow it makes the Maybelline stylish smokes more daytime friendly. Weird. Well anyway. Everyone needs to get these pencils. I am actually going to go back and get 2 more in "Baby Blue" and "Cottage Cheese". Oh and I almost forgot to mention you guys should invest in the NYX pencil sharpener as they really do sharpen your jumbo pencils and slim eye pencils very well. When I first bought it from Ulta.com I thought it would be some cheap pencils that wouldn't even sharpen well and it turns out the blades are razor sharp and unlike other sharpeners its doesn't break your pencils.

Pros:
They glide on very creamy
They don't crease
Sharpen well with the NYX pencil sharpener
Highly Pigmented
Can be worn under eyeshadow to set it
Can be worn alone
They are cheaper than Maybelline cool shadow liners


Cons:
Can't be used an eyeliner cause the tip is way to thick
Should come in more colors
I can't think of anything more.



Would I recommend this product to a friend? YES! I would. These pencils have alot of uses and can do a number of tricks. It can enhance or tone down eyeshadow colors. You have to practice with it to get the idea.

Bad News!!! My Computer is down.

Hey Everyone,
I have some bad news for you guys it turns out that my laptop, which is a Sony Vaio is finally down for the count. I have no intentions on fixing it anytime soon as the same money I use to fix it would be the same money that could buy me a new laptop. Now am I right or am I right? LOL. Anyway It keeps saying something about " A disk read error occured press Ctl + Alt+ del to restart" and everytime I do the same screen keeps popping back up like a gazillion times. I don't know if anyone is a computer wiz out there that knows how to fix this stuff? Also I know u are probably wondering well how am I typing this message? I am actually using a back up dell laptop that I have that is appearently so old it can't even read SD cards. You have no idea how upset I am as I finally got my makeup goodies from Ulta.com and another one coming from Cherryculture.com and I wanted to show everyone what I bought. : ( In the meantime, I am working on trying to figure out how I can upload photos from my a camera onto this laptop. Don't worry, I'm sure I will find some way to do it.

Be Back soon!!! : (

CoverGirl liquilineblast eyeliner pencil


Hello everyone,
Today I have a special treat for you guys. This review is going to be a bit short so here I go. I am going to be doing a review of Covergirl's new liquiline blast eyeliner pencil. I bought mine in "Blue Bloom"(I think) It doesn't say the name of the color on the pencil and I already threw away the packaging sorry LOL. This eyeliner is pretty darn amazing. The pigmentation is really amazing and the cool part is if u want a deeper pigmented color you can just press a little more and you will get a nice royal blue color almost. This eyeliner pencil also comes with a very soft rubbery kind of smudge tip at the other end. So you can do a nice blue smokey blue look with this. The pencil glides on sooo smooth. There is no skipping or tugging. This eyeliner is really pigmented on first application. You don't even have to go over it twice. SO Would I recommend this product to a friend? Yes! It has my beauty stamp recommendation.


As Always here are the swatches:



Sorry guys the photos did come out very clear for some reason my camera is having a bit if a fit for some reason.
