MAC Shadesticks vs. NYX color sticks

Has anyone tried both of these? I've tried NYX a few times, but I haven't formed an opinion. I haven't tried a shadestick, but I heard on here that they're being D/C. Are they worth it? Opinions? Other sticks that work well? Thanks.

Re: MAC Shadesticks vs. NYX color sticks

My shadesticks were a little more pigmented than the NYX, but the shadesticks got all dried out. Maybe that's because they were a mini-set that I got over a year ago...

Either way, the NYX jumbo eye pencils work fine...and they're really good for the price.

Re: MAC Shadesticks vs. NYX color sticks

NYX sells a sharpener that has a hole big enough for them. I'm sure other brands do, as well.

Re: MAC Shadesticks vs. NYX color sticks

I have some of the jumbo pencils, but have not personaly tried them, my friend bought 1 from me, and she must have really liked it, cause she ordered a whole bunch more! She says they go on really easy.

Re: MAC Shadesticks vs. NYX color sticks

I tried the NYX "Milk" Pencil and it went on smooth. I haven't used it though. However I have used their eyeshadows and they are wonderful so I think the pencils will be just as good. I just ordered some of their mascara YAY!!!

Re: MAC Shadesticks vs. NYX color sticks

I have the NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil in cottage cheese. Maybe it's this color, but it creased really badly when I tried using it as a base..=(

Make sure you only use a thin layer! Creams have a tendency of creasing if you use too much. I've been using "milk" regularly as a base for the past couple of weeks, and it works great.

OMG i was wondering how on earth I could sharpen that damn thing. I swear i used mine ONCE, as soon as i pressed the pencil against my eyelid the whole pencil tip FELL OFF and i was soooo annoyed that i just threw the "cheap sh*t" away which is why i figured it broke since i didnt even press hard at all. And i like the mac shadesticks WAY better.
