Asphyxiation · 09-03-2008, 11:57 AM #51 (**permalink**)

I got all 160 eyeshadows and yes there's some that aren't that great..
I would avoid the ones that start with "hot" - Like Hot green, hot yellow..

However, there's 2 hot pink's, one with glitter and one without..
The one without is great, but the one with glitter suck..

I also own their mascaras, foundation, powder, eyeliner, lipstick, lipgloss, pigments, jumbo penils, glitter liners and so on..

I love nyx..!!
I don't care too much about their brushes however other than the flat top, angled eyeliner and nr 1 and 3 eyeshadow brushes...

who uses the nail polish?? does it chip easily or does it last long?

Personally, I really like NYX.

Thier e/s's are very creamy, smooth and pigmented. There's a large range of colors and it's extremely affordable.
I have about 12 e/s, 3 jumbo pencils, 1 blush in a bright pink color, 4 (unopened) pearl e/s, 5 pigments and an e/s trio in Copper, Bronze & Rust (the trio is my Mac's Spiced Chocolate quad "fix"... I already had the trio and noticed that 2 of the colors are very similar to the mac quad).

I've heard from Pursebuzz that some NYX e/s's are hard to work with, but out of my collection, everything is super smooth & pigmented.
I've noticed that NYX products are sold at Longs Drugstore, Ulta and privately owned salons (I've seen it at an asain owned spa in Northern California). Luckly, Ulta always have discounts (buy 1 get 1 free) or coupons available. Longs rarely have sales for NYX.

I've used the polishes on my toenails and have had great luck. I can go at least 3 weeks before I even think about stripping them. My complaint is actually that it's almost too hard to remove.

How does their matte e/s black shade compare to Carbon?

I love NYX, especially the Jumbo Eye Pencils! They are awesome to use as a base or as a normal color on the eyelid.

I love the eyeshadows but lately, one of my trios (the tropical one) hasn't been showing great color payoff when I wear it. So I don't know what happened to it.

Anyhow, great makeup line

I bought a NYX lip-gloss at Ulta here in ATX. They didn't have lipsticks, but the selection was pretty good.

I don't own carbon and haven't tried it in forever but NYX Black is a great color thats very pigmented and blendable. I've read reviews comparing the two and alot of people who've used both prefer the NYX. HTHS!

I have some of their shadows and glosses as well as the doll eye mascara.
I LOVE the mascara!!!

the shadows are cheap, well pigmented and they do go on very smooth, and they're really easy to work with. My only suggestion is to check your local beauty supply stores where they're usually around $2.99 but they might not have all the colors....if you go to ULTA they're $4.99 usually with b1g1 50% off....to me it's still worth looking around before going to ULTA...

HTH

I just ordered some of their round lipsticks. I'll have to see how these work out. I have a couple eyeshadows that I like already.

I had both and I prefer NYX black, it's much smoother IMO. I ended up selling my Carbon to use my NYX only
