Nyx Wonder Pencil (Light): Review & Swatch

A "wonder pencil" sounds very appealing doesn't it? When something claims to be multi use, and it is affordable(~$3)...it almost seems too good to be true. 
Non retractable, wood pencil.

  • Dry texture
  • Blendable, so blendable it blends away
  • Doesn't conceal spots well
  • Disappears as soon as placed on my waterline
  • Only purpose that sort of works is sharpening edges of a lip, but even then it can be a bit difficult to blend in or conceal the sides
Overall, I say skip it. The idea behind it is good but a liquid concealer and a nude eyeliner are much better. Or if you want a concealer type pencil try a matte eye crayon. The ]ordana made to last shadow pencils are much creamier and cover better.

Milani has done it again! This is essentially a brow pomade. The range includes 5 shades, retailing at only $6.99.  This product is already up on the milani site, and I found mine a few weeks ago in-stores.  I bought mine in the second shade, 02 Natural Taupe "Light Taupe for Golden Blonde to Light Ash Brown Hair" Comes with it's own brush More on the"golden blonde" side

It's not the kind of product that has a…
