  Product Review: NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in Iced Mocha ...

Name: Jumbo Lip Pencil in Iced Mocha
Brand: NYX
Size: 5g
Price: $4.50

From NYX’s website:
Our masterful Jumbo Lip Pencils infuse lips with alluring, nourishing color, and help you create a precision pout. That’s line, define and color with one jumbo pencil. Plus the mineral oil formula does not dry our your lips and it goes on smoothly.

What I liked:
- creamy, buttery soft texture
- good color payoff
- feels comfortable on the lips
- the price

What I didn’t like:
- average staying power

NYX Jumbo Lip Pencils, which are available in about 30 shades, are simply butter in a pencil form. Seriously. They have a wonderful buttery, creamy soft texture that glides on the lips like a dream, without tugging nor dragging. And they’re quite moisturizing too. Unless you have very dry lips, you wouldn’t need to use lip balm with them. I’m completely in love with the texture of these pencils and definitely plan to get more of them in the future.

But the texture is not the only thing I love about them. Color payoff is really good too. I have Iced Mocha, a beautiful beige with very subtle pink undertones. I’m not really a huge fan of nude colors for the lips and I bought this shade only because I wanted something different from the gazillion pink shades I already have in my stash so I never thought that I would actually like it. But I do. A lot.

It is a very flattering shade and, although I think it would be more suitable for those with darker complexions, it works well on fair-skinned beauties as well. The color is pigmented, but quite soft and has a lovely dewy finish. It’s not shimmery but not matte either. Just beautifully dewy.

Staying power, however, is only average. I get only two hours of wear, but if you eat or drink it’ll last even less. But for once, I don’t mind having to reapply a few times throughout the day as the wonderful creamy texture makes the pencil a pleasure to use. You would also need a sharpener with a large opening to sharpen this. I already had one from Revlon that works well with this cute chubby pencil so that wasn’t a problem for me.

Summary
NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in Iced Mocha is a beautiful beige shade with a dewy finish. The texture is pigmented, buttery soft and moisturizing. It glides on smoothly on the lips, but lasts only about two hours.
