I have really been diving into lip products lately. With summer I love wearing bright pink lips so I got the chance to try out some products from NYX lately and I picked out the NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in Hera. The NYX Jumbo Lip pencils come in a variety of shades but the computer generated swatches are really not accurate! Hera looked like a softer pink but it works really well on my lips since they are naturally pigmented.

To Sum it up:

I'm really undecided about the formula. It applies really smoothly, its a hybrid of a lip color and lip liner which is great. It doesn't feather or bleed on my lips. It has a very creamy texture but the glitter is just too hard. Its such a gorgeous color and it does start to feel scratchy after an hour. With a darker color lip liner it adds a nice effect to the lips. Overall it is a great color but I would only wear this on a night out. For daytime I hate the residue it leaves behind, leaving your lips feeling really uncomfortable. I am sure it is just the chunky glitter so the other shades might be better to try out! If you love pinks this is the perfect subtle shade.
