NYX jumbo eye pencil review and swatches

I love the NYX jumbo eye pencil very much. They are really creamy and easy to blend. The pencil design packaging make application easy. However I do have problem capping them. My cap always end up crushing into my pencil tip when i'm not too careful.

I used to get them from cherry culture but now I realize that there are pull carts selling them. As I have previously posted, I bought another 2 recently from nus bazzar @$6. Definitely a bit more ex than cherry culture. I have a total of 15 of them.

NYX Box of Smokey Look Collection Review

My sis gave me her NYX Box of Smokey Look Collection!!!!
LOL...

She's not satisfy with the quality of the products in the set so she passed it to me.

I'm going to give you a bit more detail about the collection and a min review on it as well.

This collection cost USD$22.00
 




 
From L to R; it consist of 4 set o f ES: 
Classic Smokey
Purple Smokey 
Bronze Smokey
Natural Smokey

The set also contains 3 blushes, face powders, concealers, lip colors, 12 glitter creams and 1 black eyeliner.
 as show in the first photo.



Dimension:
Closed: 6.75"W x 4"H x 1.50"D
Extended: 10.75"W x 8"H x 1.50"D


Review 


The texture of the ES is average, more to the powder side.
Most of the ES are not very pigmented




I swatch the all the ES in the Classic Smokey collection. Most of the ES are not very pigmented and the color of the ES also do not show very well on my hand.


Swatches of almost all the ES, nothing fantastic right?


The pink blush on the left top corner is quite pretty.


The swatch for the pretty blush is the pink patch on the outer most right.


The worst products in the whole collection is the glitter creams. Look how big the glitters are, i really don't know how such big glitters can be used on the face

.I think NYX is totally sucky when it come to glitter shadows. They have great jumbo eye pencil but their glitter eye pencils are terrible. In fact i think cherry culture no longer sells them, at least i have not seen them recently.  i have a few at home.. EEEEEeeeeee....


Conclusion:
It not worth to get
