NYX auto eye pencil in Black


You'll be wondering what's up with me and NYX lately...I recently bought some things from Cherry Culture so that's the reason that I've been showing so many NYX products. Today I'll be showing you the Auto Eye pencil.





If I could say one thing to this pencil that would be : "I.HATE.YOU" Actually that's three things. Seriously girls this is not good. It's not awful to the point I wanna toss it BUT I don't like it at all. The color pay-off is minimal, I can't line my waterline, it creases and smudges. They only days I use this is when I;m bored to do my eye makeup and want to give my eyes a boost. I line my upper and lower lashlines and smudge. But that's about it. Don't even think about trying to use this when you have done your eye makeup properly!

Le Good

  • Cruelty free
  • I like that I don't ahev to sharpen it
  • Cheap
Le Bad
  • No color pay-off whatsoever
  • Creases
  • Smudges
  • Ruins eye makeup
  • Does not stay on the water line
YOU DON'T NEED THIS.

NYX eyeshadow monos:Red Bean Pie& Golden








Red Bean Pie: Is a somewhat reddish kind brown with a tad of purple in it. It's really unique and I think it would look good on any skintone.
Golden:Obviously a golden color but with a tiny bit of orange inside it; not very unique but I love it!

These eyeshadows are soft, extremely pigmented and butter smooth. I love how they feel on my skin.

Le Good

  • Soft, pigmented, amazing feel.
  • Cheap
  • Cruelty free
  • Summer colors


Le Bad

  • Golden not so unique
HOW MUCH TO YOU NEED THEM? I'd say Red Bean Pie 100% and Golden around 70% simply because many people might have something similar.

Summer colors:OPI Rising Star

Rising Star, with it's golden color and foil effect is a great color for summer. It somewhat reminds of Cozu-Melted in the Sun but in a more warm, orangey way. It was rather runny but reached full opacity with 2 coats.
