The packaging is pretty straight forward,
a black pencil like plastic tube that is easy to sharpen
yet solid enough to protect it's contents.
I like the fact that it is black as it makes it a little easier to differentiate
between the lip and eye version.
Pink Nude is not at all a nude shade not even in bullet form,
it is in fact a light yellow pink which has a high pearl finish.
Applied it is very much an oyster shell pink shade with a high level of frost.
I don't personally find this shades all that pleasing nor flattering,
they are a little dated and stuck in the 80's for my personal taste.
The problem with such shades (frosty dead lips aside) is that they can
also make your teeth appear much more yellow than they actually are...yuck!
You would be forgiven for assuming that these pencils would be similar
in constancy and texture to a lip liner but they are worlds apart.
NYX Jumbo Lipstick pencils are butter soft, they glide on without tugging
and deliver a high dose of pigmentation in one swipe.
The majority of shades do not have a matte finish rather a satin or gloss type result.
The beauty of such lip stick pencils is that they can line and fill the lips with colour
saving time and money on finding a perfectly matching lip liner.
The darker shades of the NYX Jumbo pencils do have a tendency to stain and feather
so obviously those last a little longer in terms of wear opposed to the lighter shades.
On average each shade wears comfortably around the 2-3 hour mark
so not the most long lasting of lip products out there but a good budget buy.

I agree but sadly the lipstick texture/formula of this product won't allow for this :(
Deleteindeed I agree is an eyeshadow shade
Deleteyup if the formula had been different this would make a stunning highlight shade :)
DeleteNow that I like!! Amazing and would be lovely in the summer with a nice tan!
ReplyDeleteoooh i dont know much about NYX products but this colour looks so lush!.. loads of american makeup tutorial makers on youtube use NYX's jumbo sticks on their eyes! didnt know that they did lips too! but yeah, for anyone living in Kent, there is a NYX (should be!) in Ashford Outlet in Ashford! :)
ReplyDeleteOh fab thank you so much for that info that will be super helpful for those in Kent :)
Deletethank you! :)
I really need to try the NYX brand!
ReplyDeleteYou really do cherry it is a great line :)
DeleteThis looks lovely but I'm really not a fan of the shade! xxx
ReplyDeleteso glad I am not alone haha!
ReplyDeleteReally want to get one of these, do you have a favourite shade? X
ReplyDeleteSo far it has to be Chaos but I really want a nice coral shade :) x

I couldn't agree more :) x
DeleteTotally agree about the 80s frosted shade - reminds me of something Molly Ringwald would wear in Pretty In Pink!
ReplyDeletehaha best description ever haha love it! x
DeleteI would love one of these so bad that this shade doesn't even put me off. I have a topshop lippencil in coy but would love it to be a bit more moisturising/glossy like the nyx. Do they have a dupe for that?
ReplyDeleteLove,
Belle.x
xD Whaa. I don't think I could pull this off. I kind of wish this came as an eye pencil though. I'd love it in that capacity.
