NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil. I was introduced to the NYX eyeshadow pencil by a friend and have to think how on earth did i survive without it. on first appearance you may wonder how on earth it is supposed to be better than a pallet eyeshadow , but trust me it is a lot better than a pallet one and since being introduced to this I have started to build up my collection. The pencil as it says is jumbo and that is exactly how it arrived basically as a pencil there was no box or anything, well there was the envelope, which was padded, anyway it was around the same length as a normal make up pencil and came with a clear lid , Anyway when it ...  Read the complete review

NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencils have been very popular for a long time now and I always thought they were just too expensive to buy. Id see celebrity makeup artists using them, i'd see beauty gurus using them, it just became one of those things that every beauty junkie had to have. I refused to invest in them at first but now, while I am trying to expand my makeup collection, I thought it was time I owned one and saw for myself what the hype was all about.

That wasn't very ...  Read the complete review
