Price: $4.49 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.18 oz / 5 g The Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Sparkle Green is a dark teal green cream shadow with silver glitter, obviously in the form of a jumbo eye pencil. The Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencils come in white plastic tubes with a clear lid. The clear lid is fairly cheap and does crack after a little bit if you are not careful when putting the lid on (this has happened to my Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk) Sparkle Green applies pretty smoothly, especially for being a product that contains glitter. It applies fairly evenly, but does need some building up to make the color completely opaque. Sparkle Green could be a base for other teal shadows or for a teal smokey eye, but can also be worn alone or as eye liner. While other Nyx Jumbo Pencils are safe in the waterline, I would not suggest using Sparkle Green in the waterline since it contains glitter. XOX

Price: $4.29 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.1 oz / 2.8 g The Jordana 12 HR Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencil in 04 Continuous Almond is an ivory jumbo shadow pencil that is new to the drugstore. I am a big fan of the formula of this product. It went on so smoothly and doesn't pull on my eyelids at all. It dries to a smudge-proof and fairly waterproof state quickly and makes a nice shadow base. I did notice that it creased by itself, but it held up pretty well with a powder shadow layered on top of it. The only downside is that the product goes down really quickly when used all over the lids. Something very different about this shadow pencil is that it sort of oxidized like some foundations do. After 5 minutes or so, I noticed that Continuous Almond got a little darker and more pink than when I applied it. XOX ♥
Price: $4.49 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.18 oz / 5 g The NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk is a white cream shadow stick. I really like this product! It's a little bit sticky, which really helps to get powder eye shadows stick to your lid. Since Milk is white, it also really helps make colors be more vibrant and really pop. This color also really opens the eye when applied to the waterline. It lasts all day on it's own on the lid and can improve the wear of lesser performing shadows when applied under them. You can apply Milk straight from the pencil onto your eye. This can pull on your lids though, I suggest making little lines on the lid with the pencil and then blending and evening it out with your finger.
XOX ♥ Price: $18 * Size: 1.4 g * Buy At: Chella's Website http://chella.com/products/item/lace_highlighter_pencil The Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter is a jumbo pencil style highlighter. This product is very versatile and can be used as a cream shadow, shadow base, brow highlight, inner corner highlight, concealer, under eye corrector or even as a lip liner to prevent lipstick from bleeding. (This product was in my June Ipsy Bag) The Ivory Lace Highlighter is very creamy and easy to apply. It doesn't pull on my skin at all. This also blends easily with your fingers if you are using it as a concealer or corrector. It has some nice wear to it, but I do think it would need to be reapplied at least once during the day. SwatchesDespite the name, this highlighter isn't really an ivory color. It's much more peachy-toned than ivory. It looks good with my skin, though and creates more of a natural highlight than something more white. The peachy tone also allows it to work as an under eye corrector!
