NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils are oversized pencils that can be used as eyeshadow crayons, eyeshadow bases, or as eyeliner. They are a must-have in the beauty world, and I have finally invested in some of my own. I bought them online from Cherry Culture (psst, they're currently on sale at less than €3 each!), initially only intending to buy Milk, and for once I am delighted with the result of my impulsive spending.
With the exception of Oyster, which has more of a sheer/duochrome finish, they are all intensely pigmented with great colour payoff. Although NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils don't have a great reputation when it comes to their staying power, I was really pleasantly surprised with how long the swatches lasted on my arm, even with my sleeves rubbing on them. However, if you are wearing them alone, I would recommend setting them with a powder to stop them from creasing, particularly if you have oily skin. They're available in a range of 32(!!) gorgeous colours and they have a shade to suit every look and occasion.
As for downsides, I have heard that these can be a nightmare to sharpen without NYX's own sharpener, so it's best to depot them, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it!
Overall: For that price, these are an absolute steal, and I have every intention of purchasing more. They're versatile, and so so pretty!
