NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils

I love an eyeshadow pencil as they are so easy to apply on a night out. NYX cosmetics have been making the rounds on YouTube and Blogging websites, and the bug hit me, I wanted to try some of these and so I grabbed some of the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils to see what all the fuss is all about.

The ones I have are:

• Rust
• French Fries
• Dark Brown
• Sparkle Green
• Cashmere
• Horseradish
• Cobalt
• Bronze

Sparkle Green
Is a lovely christmassy green colour, I wore this colour during December for a christmassy look, but during the day I used a lighter eyeshadow over the top just to lighten the colour up. This is perfect when you want to create a dark, and dramatic look.

French Fries
This is a lovely gold type of colour with a lovely shimmer running through it, I do wear this one quite a lot as it's lovely for a daytime look, it's a very subtle colour.

Dark Brown
This is another colour that is good for a night time look especially when doing a smoky eye look.

Bronze
This is a lovely metallic shade, a shade that is good for a night out by adding some bling to your eyes.

Cashmere
Cashmere is a lovely light gold colour, good for during the day.

Cobalt
This is a lovely blue colour (I'm in a blue colour phase at the moment), and perfect for a night time look, or a smokey eye.

Rust
This is another colour I wore during December as it has a reddish undertone, I wore this to my Christmas party and paired it up with the NYX Shimmer Roll On in Platinum to add a bit of sparkle to my look.

Horseradish
This is a mint green colour, good for a subtle day time look


I love these pencils, they are so easy to use and they come in such a great colour range (32 shades overall), and they can be used as an eyeliner to add a bit of drama to a look.

These can be found on the NYX website or at your local Next.

BLOGMAS 4: Monday Haul

DISCLAIMER: All opinions are my own, and I am not bragging about what I have got I am just showing some products that I have purchased recently that will be popping up on the blog in the coming weeks/months.

*denotes a free gift with purchase

So on Monday I went shopping and ended up splurging on some cosmetics.

Superdrug

1) Bourjois Little Round Eyeshadow Pot (no09) - I used to love the little round eyeshadow pots and have not used one for ages, so I thought it might be time to start using them again.
2) N.Y.C. Smooth Skin Perfecting Primer - This was on Superdrug's top 5 primers so I thought I would give this a try.
3) Bourjois Little Round Eyeshadow Pot (no05)
4) N.Y.C. Expert Last Lip Color (Chocolate Chip) - I love a brown lipstick (I have an abundance of them in my make up bag), but you can never go wrong with a brown lip.
5) Bourjois 1 Seconde Top Coat (Vampire Vanity)* - This is a gold lea type glitter (so it might become fiddly when I am applying it but we'll see)
6) N.Y.C Showtime Mascara (Black)

At Superdrug if you buy 2 Bourjois cosmetics you then get the gold glitter top coat for free.

Next

1) NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil (French Fries) - I have seen NYX cosmetics and have been wanting some for ages. When I found out Next stocked them that was it I had to get some for my make up bag.
2) NYX Roll On Shimmer (Walnut) - I thought the shimmer roll on's would be good for the Christmas period and New Year.
3) NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil (Dark Brown)
4) NYX Roll On Shimmer (Platinum)


Boots

1) Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (51 Light Vanilla) - I have only heard good things regarding this foundation so I thought I would take the plunge and give it a whirl.
2) SEVENTEEN On The Spot Foundation (Porcelain) - I recieved a voucher via the instore machine to get £2 off of this foundation so I got it at £4.99 instead of £6.99. This might be worth a try.
3) Bourjois Fan-Tastic Volume Mascara (Fan-tastic Black) - This I have been coveting for ages (I am fickle as I love the packaging) so I took the plunge.
4) Bourjois Little Round Eyeshadow Pot (no11)
5) Natural Collection Nail Polish (Burgundy) - I thought this looked like a really good Christmassy colour.
6) No7 Matte Top Coat - I have been after a matte top coat for ages, and I finally managed to get a hold of this one from No7.
7) Smoky Eyes Eyeshadow Trio (01 Gris Dandy)* - 
8) Bourjois Volume Glamour Max Holidays (Black)*
9) Bourjois So Laque Nail Polish (Rouge Escarpin 24)*
10) Bourjois Effet 3D Lip Gloss (06 Rouge Democratic)*

With Boots if you spend £15 on Bourjois cosmetics you then get the Iconic Glam makeup kit (this features the starred products above).

All the above products will be reviewed in the near future so keep an eye out for the posts.
