NYX vs Maybelline Shadow/Liner Pencils

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil is my favorite eyeshadow/liner pencil to use. The color glides on your eyes easily without tugging on your lids. They come in over a dozen colors and is inexpensive at only $3/ $3.50 at a store. The colors are pigmented and last through out the day. These pencils can be used alone as an eyeshadow or liner as well as a base for your make up.

Maybelline Cool Effect Shadow/ Liner were the first pencil of this time that I used. You can get them at a drugstore for around $5- $6 a pencil. I didn't think that this pencil applied as smoothly as the NYX pencil. I would have to warm up the tip before I applied. The colors came up soft when I applied unless you're using one of the darker shades. They come in over a dozen colors and have a slight shimmer. Though both Maybelline & NYX pencils have close to the same amount of different shades, the NXY pencils have a wider variety of colors. I would use this pencil also as a shadow, liner, or base.

Coastal Scents 88 Palettes

I recently bought the 88 Palettes from Coastal Scents. The Matte Makeup Palette and the Ultra Shimmer Palette. I had heard so much on it on youtube so I had to get it. They cost $18.95 for the 88 Matte Makeup Palette and $19.95 for the 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette. I was surprised on how fast they shipped them. I got it 2 days after I ordered it.
As far as the Palettes themselves... the colors are about the size of a dime. They are vibrant so you don't have to pack too much in order to make an impact. When you place a brush to them, it picks up the color easily. A person can do a lot with these palettes. There's so many colors to use and blend together. There's also a large mirror on the case with 2 sponge tip applicators. The case is also thin for easy storage.
With everything you get, it's definitely worth it. Its of great quality yet inexpensive.
