My Take : NYX Long Pencil Eye

Much has been said and written about the NYX Jumbo Pencil but today I'm going to talk about the NYX long pencil eyeliner, Jumbo's little and unknown cousin though not that little.It is basically an eyeliner in pencil form and true to its name is longer than most of its contemporaries.

It is available in 6 shades though 3 of them are variations of brown. Currently not listed on the NYX website, the eye pencils are available on CherryCulture and ShopCraze(only 1 shade Silver available).

Colors in order: Black,Brown,Dark Brown,Light Brown,Silver,White

The brown one is almost unused so its longer

The Good:

1. 7 inches worth of product.
2. Good color payoff (black only).
3. Does not require frequent sharpening.I use it everyday on my waterline and I sharpen it once a week.
   
4. Glides smoothly.
5. Staying power is a good 4-5 hours on eyelids and minimum 3 hours on the waterline.
6. Does not irritate the eyes.
   

The Bad:

1. Lack of variety in shades.They have 3 shades of brown which are almost the same.Wish they had some of the colors from their Jumbo line.
2. Difficult to fit in my clutch but I guess I can't really complain.
3. The brown is absolutely a waste cuz the color does not show up I use it instead as a lip pencil, but thats ok because I got it free.

Take it or Leave It?

Definitely Take it for the black shade rest of the shades I'm not so sure though would try Silver.
