NYX Comestics Combo Makeup Set


I saw this gift set at T.J.Max for $10!!! This was a total steal, so I had to pick this up. This set contains a eye liner, lip liner, lip gloss, a pair of lashes including glue, and two single eye shadows. There was some hit and misses in this set tho, this is what happens when you get things in bundles and on sale, but there are somethings in this set I would use everyday and is still worth the $10.

Here are the original prices of each product
Long Pencil Eye - Discontinued but I assume around $3.50
LipLiner Pencil - Also Discontinued, should also be $3.50
Mega Shine Lip Gloss - $5.00
Fabulous Lashes & Glue - $4.00
Eye shadow singles - Repackaged, should be $4.50



Long Pencil Eye in LPE01 Black
I used this to line my upper lash line, it doesn't glide on that smooth nor much color comes off. In this picture, I overlapped the eyeliner like 2x to get this opacity. I tried using it on my waterline, it applied a bit more easily, but it just smudges away very quickly.

Smudge test
left line - line build up,                             right line - one stroke                     
So I swatched the eyeliner on my hand then I waited for like 10 minutes to set. I swiped my hand over it with fair amount of pressure, it just smudged. Probably not really gonna be using this very much.. No wonder they discontinued it ..



Lip liner in 847 Latte
This glides on pretty smoothly, I enjoy the texture but the color is just so deep and it has a sheen to it. I probably use this as an eyeliner because its so dark. 

Not so appealing ehh.. makes the lips look like foil.



Mega Shine Lip Gloss in LG154 Ice Princess


 The packaging is so cute, the top has a cute bow on it. This shade is a very sheer hot pink so it makes your lips quite natural with a nice shine on it. This gloss smells like cherry starburst. It has the staying power of a typical lip gloss, around an hour it would be gone.

Here is a swatch. Looks pretty alone.




Single Eye Shadows

These eye shadows are pretty good, very pigmented and not that much fall out. Both are shimmery but no glitter, which I enjoy. But this "Deep Purple" looks like a Greyish taupe. You can't really see the shimmering white, but its a very nice highlighting color. I use this in the inner corners of my eyes and a dab on my cupids bow.
