Oooooooooooh pretty....
So last week I was lucky enough to win this gorgeous NYX Centre Stage Jumbo Eye Pencil Set from Paula's, aka theldndiaries, Twitter giveaway (Thank you thank you thank you!!!). Having wanted to try these since I was about 16 and just never getting round to ordering myself some, you can only imagine how excited I was when the slightly confused postman handed them to me whilst I was grinning in my pyjamas like a 5 year old who got exactly what they asked Santa for on Christmas Day. Upon opening the package, I found a lovely hand written note from Paula (sneak peak above) alongside the soon to be new loves in my life. I eagerly opened the box and began swatching these beauties on my hand, and wow were they more beautiful than I ever thought they would be. Why have I waited four years for this moment?!?
From left to right - Electric Blue (622A), Black Bean (601), Sparkle Nude (625), Iced Mocha (617), Yoghurt (611) and Milk (604).
As you can see from the swatches, which may I add were only from one swipe across my hand, these are incredibly pigmented and have the perfect mix of matte and shimmer. I've yet to actually try them on my eyes due to being slap bang in the middle of exam period meaning I don't really leave the house due to being snowed under with essays. Therefore I don't really wear makeup as the only person I come into contact with is the postman (who has been scared my makeupless face many a time) but having seen plenty of tutorials online, I can't wait to give them a proper try! Expect a tutorial when I do. I would recommend this set to anyone wanting to dip their toe into the NYX world as it includes some of their most famous shades. You can purchase the set here or buy each individual pencil here.
Once again, thank you to Paula for your amazing kindness generosity and for being such a lovely person by giving me the chance to finally try these beauties! You should all go check out her blog and leave her plenty of lovely message on all of the sites I've linked below:

They're really amazing! Planning to use that one to line my waterline :D xx
DeleteWow! Iced Mocha and Yoghurt look soo beautiful. Milk has been a cult favourite for years I swear aha so no doubt you'll get a lot of use out of that. I'd be interested to see how you use Electric Blue!

Yeah I can see those two quickly becoming my favourites! Me too, I'm not usually one for colourful eyeshadow so I'm really excited to have a play with it! xx
