I recently purchased the NYC City Proof 24hr Waterproof Eyeshadow pencils and I purchased two shades, Murry Hill Champagne and Tribeca Taupe. Cream eyeshadows are my thing these days and eyeshadow pencils are so easy to use. I remember last year, I purchased one from L'oreal, and I wore it almost every day in the winter. It was so easy to use and when in a rush, you grab this stick, apply and you are ready to go.
According to NYC, these eyeshadows
♥ have incredible staying power (24 hours is pretty amazing)
♥ are waterproof
♥ are smear proof and tear proof
♥ do not crease
♥ give a vibrant colour
♥ easy to use as they glide beautifully
♥come in eleven lovely colours, lots of neutrals in this collection
♥ can be used as liner or eyeshadow
The packaging is nice, it is a stick with the exact colour of the product on the outside and has a twist up mechanism. These eyeshadows are creamy, have a good colour pay off and they settle and dry very fast. I apply these eyeshadows on my eyelid and blend them with my finger, it is somehow difficult to blend these with a brush. These eyeshadows will be perfect for someone who has oily face and struggles to keep the eyeshadow on the eyelid for longer than 2 hours. These babies will stay on, no matter what!
Murry Hill Champagne is a gorgeous, and I mean gorgeous metallic champagne colour. Extremely pigmented, shimmery and shiny, great to use as a base and to highlighter the inner corners of the eye. God, I love this one so much and it would be perfect to wear for a formal event or a night out.
Tribeca Taupe is a taupe brown colour, probably the loveliest combination of brown and grey. I don't think I own a shade like this one and I love to wear it on its own or as a base for my eyeshadows. This shade is matte and slightly less creamier than Murry Hill Champagne.
These claim to last up to 24 hours, but come on, who needs or wears an eyeshadow for 24 hours straight? Obviously, I haven't tested to see if this is true, but I have been wearing them from 7am till 3pm and they are doing fine. So an 8 hour mark is fine with me, I don't need my eyeshadows to last longer than this.
I purchased these eyeshadows for $2.99 each, which is a great deal since they are wonderful products. I love using my palettes but as I mentioned above, these pencils are great if you are in a hurry and have not time to do full makeup or for traveling, these will be perfect to take with you while traveling.

Are you a fan of pencil creamy eyeshadows? What is your favourite?

I want to try the NYX eyeshadow pencils too, I have them on my wishlist but forgot all about them! x
DeleteGorgeous colours! I've not yet converted to a shadow pencil and still prefer powder ones but I think these are way easier to use.

They are so easy to use and to take with you while traveling. One eyeshadow pencil is sometimes enough for a complete makeup look :)
DeletePretty shades :) I like long lasting formula but 24hr long is way too much!! Great post :)

I know right? Why bother and do a 24hr formula if I am definitely not going to wear it for 24hrs?
DeleteI would love to see swatches of these.
ReplyDeleteBoth shades look gorgeous. I definitely need Tribeca Taupe in my life. I love how affordable NYC is.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Heather! x
DeleteThey're so pretty! I don't understand why brands make those 24 hour claims because most people won't use them for that long, and they also most likely won't last for an actual 24 hours! Either way, 8 hours is still an impressive wear time :) They both look so pretty in the swatches! I'm glad you're enjoying them :)
ReplyDeleteMili | Sharmtoaster
It is a ridiculous claim, isn't it? I don't understand the 24hr concept either, of course I am not going to wear them for 24hours straight! :) Thank you so much!
DeleteThese look nice for their price! Loving the shades, might give them a go :)

They are great and I am very pleased with their performance, you should try them!
DeleteI love a good eyeshadow crayon, especially at this price! Unfortunately my local drugstore stopped carrying NYC, I hope I can find them somewhere else.

I purchased mine from Beauty Joint, they have a great selection of products and brands! x
Deletethese look fun! cute photos!

Thanks! :)
DeleteIt always makes me laugh when makeup claims to last for 24 hours - it's so unnecessary! The champagne shade looks really pretty and creamy.
ReplyDeleteRoxie | The Beautiful Bluebird
I agree, it is an unnecessary claim and I don't believe that these last for 24 hours!
DeleteSo affordable, and you're right the murray hill champagne colour is lovely!! x

Both shades are gorgeous and I have been using both of them lately for my every day makeup! x
DeleteFirst of all, I love your pictures :) we don't get this brand here in the UK. I love the look of the Taupe. I never used to, but the last few years have started having issues with eyeshadow not staying put, so these sound like they would be great for me.

DeleteOh these sound good, I have tried anything from NYC before but I have super oily eyelids and struggle to find any products that will stay on my lids and not crease.

ReplyDeleteDo you wear these with primer or nah? Murray Hill Champagne is such a gorgeous shade, and I've always been curious about NYC's eyeshadow sticks, since they're so inexpensive and twist up (vs having to sharpen!) I'll definitely need to check these out next time!
