L.A. Colors Jumbo Eye Pencil

Shade: Sea Shell

Price: $1.50-$2.00
Where to Buy: Family Dollar Stores or Dollar General Stores

Pros: Can be used as a highlighter or an eye shadow base

Cons: Can melt down and start to crease, due to high oil or wax content, pencil is VERY difficult to sharpen (look out for hard, flying shrapnel)

Texture: Smooth, creamy, easily blendable

Longevity of Usage: About 1 month or less with everyday usage

Splurge: NYX vs. Steal: L.A. Colors

My choice: NYX

I would definitely recommend NYX  Jumbo Eye Pencils, but if you are on a rather tight budget, then L.A. Colors will get you by..Until next time..

Love, Peace & Hair Grease
