Review: NYX Retractable Eye Liner

O Hello!!

I just got back from Jakarta this morning and super tired, but since I had a spare time tonight I wanted to make a review on theses NYX Retractable Eye Liner that I had for quite some time now and really loving it!! I prefer this type of eyeliner because liquid eyeliner bristle tends to stuck between my eyelashes and makes application a bit hard and messy. So generally I prefer pencil eye liner but I still like liquid eye liner because it gives a more bold and precision look.

Anyway back to NYX Retractable Eye Liner.... I had five of these baby and I really really want to get them in more color but had to held back to save money and I don't think I'm gonna use the other color every day anyway. But if I bought them I had to make myself to use them anyway right??? Ahhh.... Somebody stop me!!!

Packaging:

I really like this eye liner because it's retractable and I don't need to sharpen it because I am really bad at doing it. Most of my pencil eyeliner gone in a flash because I can't help myself from over-sharpening them. This means no more waste products too!! On the other side because I can't sharpen them I can't make a fine line with this eye liner.

Colors:

There are 18 color and I have 5 of them.

Aqua Green

Aqua Green is a beautiful shimmer teal.

Lime Green

Lime Green is shimmery lime green

Deep Blue

Deep Blue is a shimmery dark denim or is it navy?

Bronze

 Bronze is a dark brown with pink shimmers on it.

Deep Purple

 Deep purple is a matte dark purple.

The Eye Liner:

These eye liners are quite pigmented when I swatch them on my hand but when I apply them on my eyes they are not as pigmented. I have to swipe them several times to get a desirable results. Also funny thing is some colors glides better than the other one. For example the Bronze one glides really well but the Deep Purple is a bit waxy and kinda dragged a bit on my skin. Tugging my eye solves this dragging problem though....

Smudge Test:
Once this baby are set it cannot budge so if I want to smudge this out for a smokey eyes look (although I rarely did that) I have to do it right away because once the colors are on it stays on like forever!! I try to rub them really hard with my hand and they just won't budge.

 Waterproof Test:

For waterproof test I put the swatch on my hand, put it on running water and then try to rub my hands real hard.

I put these liner in running water for about a minute and they pretty much stays the same like Joey McIntyre song #LOL.

After the running water test I keep my skin in a damp condition for about 30 seconds and wipe really hard with my hands and it only smudge a little bit. I think it was good since normally I would never rubs my eyes really hard like that.

Easy to Clean:
I'm using waterproof make-up remover and it was pretty easy to clean. Just one gentle swipe almost clean the whole products.

What I Like:

- Waterproof
- Smudgeproof
- Great color

What I Don't Like:
- Drags my skin a bit.
- Some colors glides better that the other.
