Rave Review - NYX Slide on Pencil in 'Brown Perfection' and Comparison with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencils

Lately I have been really enjoying wearing long lasting eyeliners and all the other eye liners in my stash have gotten neglected.. I am talking about NYX Slide on Pencil in 'Brown Perfection' and Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil in 'Perversion', which I love to apply on my lower waterline and lash line as I will not need to worry about them running down or fading away ..As much I love wearing them, I hate removing them by the end of the day :( , but boy, its sure worth it ..NYX Slide on Pencil in 'Brown Perfection' is a rich chocolate brown shade while Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil in 'Perversion' is a jet black.  Lets see the good and the bad of these pencils ..

The Good

• Highly pigmented
• Creamy n smooth texture - they slide on easily
• Smudgeproof and Waterproof 
• Really long lasting- This lasts until I take it off
• Very Affordable
• Available in lots of colors

The Bad 

• Not easily available in Australia 
• Difficult to remove, you need a good oil based eye makeup remover

The Comparison with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencils

• Both are crazy pigmented
• Both are creamy and glide and slide on the eye awesomely 
• Both are waterproof and smudgeproof
• Both are really long lasting, Urban Decay lasts better on the waterline, but on the lashline both fair same
• NYX is defintely way cheaper as compared to the Urban Decay pencils (NYX - 8 US$ and UD - 18 US$)
• Both have a good range of colors to choose from 

 
The Price
11.95 AUD (at Crush Cosmetics)

Where to buy
Cherry Culture, Crush Cosmetics, ebay

Overall, I think these NYX pencils are a fab product and if you have been wanting to try out the Urban Decay pencils, but have restrained for the cost, I would recommend you try out the NYX Slide on Pencils. I am really looking forward to trying out the NYX in Black next..

EOTD - Fun & pink liner !

Today's post is a simple EOTD featuring an easy way to sport pink on your eyes ..As much as we love the color pink it can get tricky to play with.. Here is an easy way out (or a lazy way out he he ;)), just with an eye pencil. I featured Urban Decay 'WoodStock' previously in my Top 5 pink products for October and my friend and fashion/beauty blogger Kannu, requested a swatch/LOTD with Urban Decay 'Woodstock'.

So this quick EOTD post is for you Kannu. I will probably look at incorporating WoodStock in a proper EOTD post later. I am wearing Urban Decay 'WoodStock' on my upper lash line and Revlon Color Stay Sparkling eyeliner in 'Blue Spark' on my lower lash line n black liner on my waterline. Hope you liked the look ..

Do you wear pink on your eyes ?

Top 5 Pink picks for ' The Pink Month October '

As we all know October is the month of 'Breast Cancer Awareness' and most of the companies come with the 'Pink Ribbon packaged products' to support the BCA funding and research. Buying these products is our way to show, we support the cause and the women out there. In this post, I am sharing my favorite pink products at the moment. 

 

1. Urban Decay 24/7 glide on pencil in 'WoodStock'- This is a gorgeous pink color. I am really enjoying these Urban Decay 24/7 glide on pencils. WoodStock is a fun n easy way to wear pink on your eyes.
2. MAC Dollymix - This is a pretty pink MAC blush with shimmer but not so noticeable on the cheeks. This is a good pink for medium/olive skin tones. You may not like it if you are a total matte fan. 
3. Chanel Rouge Coco in 'Taffetas Rose' - 'Taffetas Rose' is a bright dark pink color. To me its a true magenta shade, leaning towards red. Its a bright shade without being over the top out there. IMO, its good for people who want to go bolder and brighter, but are scared to try bright shades. This could be a good start for them.
4. Maybelline Mini Colorama in Bublicious - This is my favorite pink nail polish at the moment. More swatches and details HERE.
5. Palmer's Shea Butter Formula with Vitamin E Lotion - This year I bought Palmer's Shea Butter Formula with Vitamin E as my pink ribbon product. I am running out of my body lotion and Palmer's do good lotions and facial creams, so I believe this should be a good pick. I shall review it later.
   
   Will you be buying any pink ribbon products this October ?
   
   **PLease note only the 5th product is a pink ribbon product. **
