Product Review:
***NYX has currently replaced this product with their Liquid
Crystal Liner. You can still find these online and at some physical
retail/discount retailers.***
I may just have to legally change my name to Rainbow
Sparkles if the time ever becomes appropriate. But for now I will gladly except
all that glitters in the form of makeup. When I tore into this gift, this past
Christmas my friend did an awesome job grabbing these up as a present,
excitement was all over my face after seeing the range of colors and the size
of these liners.
The only other liquid glitter eye liner I use is Urban Decay’s
Heavy Metal, so my expectations were set somewhat high. Plus all of the other
NYX products that are constantly “on the shelf” reviewing these liners that
much tougher.
First off, NYX didn’t disappoint! The spectrum of colors
makes it easy to grab at least one to try. Sticking to the NYX standards these
little guys are set at a stellar price enabling everyone to take a chance
without the guilt of not liking it. Next, the application wand is slightly
thicker than I was used to but completely manageable without feeling awkward.
Actually the thickness of the applicator tip glided smoothly and placed a
generous amount of liner from first application, a problem I have had with
other brands. The glitters are vibrant and plentiful on the brush making it a one
stroke job for some easy eye candy.
Consistency is wetter than I
would have liked but it is still applicable without any drops. Once dried in a
few minutes, and I do mean minutes and not seconds, it stays on and wear
beautifully all day. My only major issue was slight irritation that it caused
me upon initial application under my eyes. It did cause me to tear up but
thankfully not enough to ruin the liner. It did after a few seconds become
subdued and in my opinion was bearable discomfort for the end result. No one ever
said “Beauty is painless.”
In the end the pros of this
heavily outweigh the one slight con, but in defense of the NYX liners I am more
sensitive than your average person. Having found this affordable alternative to
the only other liquid glitter liner I use is not only great for my makeup habit
but my wallet as well!
