Product Review:
NYX is my favorite drug-store brand since they offer so many
great products that are budget friendly with fantastic results. After using the
blue colored mascara (May 12, 2014 On The Shelf) I knew if NYX was to offer
more colors I would love them, and I do! The colors are true to their tube, as
what you see is what you get.
The long wear-ability is comparable to higher end formulas
and since I have not had any rub-off or transfer issues these new colors have
been in a regular rotation for me. The application was initially an issue as
the formula appears to be very thin, almost like water. Plus the applicator
wand itself has changed and been made smaller. I like the previous version of
NYX formula in regards to thickness and the included wand. These are the only
two issues I can find with these new colors. However, I have had no issues with
irritation to skin or eyes during application or while wearing. Some of the
colors are tough to simply wipe off the lashes and require a quality makeup
remover.
Overall, the price per tube is great! The thin formula can
be managed with proper application technique. You can achieve a colorful pop
that will last all day. For now the array of color will remain on my shelf, but
I would love if NYX would use the previously included wand as I believe this
would make application so much easier.
