NYX Crayons and Pigments

I know the crayons have excellent reviews online and people really swear by them.

I am wondering if you guys have worked or had any experience with the pigments?

Cost wise they seem to be a great buy but are they good?

I would give them 4/5 for the jumbo eye crayons, and same for the lip crayons. My only complain is that they don't stay put or stay the same after a few hours as I have kind of oily eyelids.

I like them...but I can't get the lip one to sharpen? Is it supposed to :S If not, that would be a lot of product going to waste...

I have a lot of their loose pigments, they're called "Ultra pearl mania", they're basically shimmery loose powder pigments and I personally find them amazing, especially for the price ($2 each). The colors are very pretty, they're very easily to apply (I apply them with water) and they're very vibrant. I don't know about their lasting power, because I never had one had from day till night...but I think if you use something tacky underneath, it would probably help the pigment last longer.

That is helpful!

I am thinking of buying a lot of them to try...these days with the amount of money I am spending on makeup...everything is a planned purchase!

I haven't tried the pigments but I do have 8 or so of the Jumbo Pencils and they're just like Paint Pots (although a bit more creamier) in pencil form. I always use a primer under b/c they crease and use them as bases for eyeshadow. Milk (matte white) is excellent to have if you want the eyeshadow to show true-to-color. I also have a few other colors and I use them to make eyeshadows pop. For example, I'll use a purple jumbo pencil to make a purple shadow "pop". It really works fantastic. I bought mine for real cheap off eBay. I think I got 6 or 8 for $15.
