LIP SWATCHES : NYX Jumbo Lip Pencils

No better way to take away the blues than with some pinks! I caught the NYX Jumbo Lip Pencils on sale at ULTA this week for around $2-3, so I picked up two colors:

NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in Chestnut:
This one is a slightly browned, coppery-rose with a sheen, no glitter. It will look amazing with rich jewel-toned eye shadows for the fall!
NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in Fucshia: 
This is a a very rare, blue-based, bubblegum pink shade that actually isn't over the top! I love it! It reminds me a little bit of NYX Paris lipstick but less bright and hence more daytime-friendly. It looks amazing paired with a hint of lime green on the eyes. This one is a matte finish as well.

The GOOD: affordable, great pigmentation, creamy texture with a matte finish, wearable colors, average wear of 3-4 hours
The BAD: you need to have a chubby pencil sharpener! The NYX jumbo pencil sharpener was on sale too for around $3 so I just went ahead and bought one =)

VERDICT: I am heading out to buy more colors while they're still on sale!

Fuschia looks so good on you. These babies are so soft and easy to apply.
