Overview:
NYX Color Mascara
Purchase Price $7 + tax
Colored mascaras are always a great addition for that extra
flair of fun. Over ten years ago, when I was able to finally play with makeup,
it was love at first stroke of some random drug store brand mascara in a bright
blue color. Now NYX has released a line of colored mascaras in blue, purple,
and brown.
These mascaras have been clump free, volume adding, and
smudge proof once it dried after application. So far the formula NYX used has
not caused me any irritation or caused dry brittle lashes as other less and more
expensive mascaras have a tendency to do. Of course the only part that seems to
have been simply passed over or to keep costs down is the application wand. It
is a straight forward wand so expect nothing special. The purple was great and
very vibrant pulling out of the tube on the applicator but that’s where the
color ended for me. While applying I noticed it seemed to blend with my dark
lashes almost creating a brownish color versus coating my lashes in the wonderful
purple. Even though this color didn’t work for me the way I expected it should
work great for those with lighter eye lashes. Now onto the blue color. After
two coats my lashes went from black to a heavenly blue that made a bold
statement. Simply eye catching and perfect using with some outstanding neon
color shadows out there. Opting not to buy the brown I am assuming it would be
like most other browns I have tried which simply blended onto my black lashes.
These mascaras are truly a good buy at an affordable price.
For this gal the blue has found its permanent place on my shelf. And I urge NYX
to not discontinue this color but challenge them to come up with some more
creative vibrant colors!
