NYX Naughty vs. Nice Collection: Gel Liner and Smudger in Jet Black

Gel liner is not something I have had in a while, but I had to try the NYX version!

 
 
This is the NYX Gel Liner & Smudger from the Naughty vs Nice Collection. This liner has two names: Jet Black and Betty. It is described by NYX as a matte black, but it has a lot of sheen, so that is misleading. This retails for $8.
 
 
This comes in a tiny little jar, but you really do not need a lot as this is SO pigmented!
 
 
This is just one tiny scrape of the product smeared out (about 1/4th of my pinky nail). It is super sleek, creamy, and really long wearing and easy to apply on lids. Just use a liner brushed or an eyeshadow brush to use it as a base for an intense smokey eye. This looks like liquid patent leather.
 
 
I am impressed with this liner. It lasted all day long on my lids, looks fierce and shiny, and has a rich color. The double name thing is a bit misleading, as is the matte description, though. The packaging on this was also a little rough and it is slightly expensive for the size and for this brand.
 
Price: 8/10
Performance: 10/10
Color/Wearability: 9/10
Packaging: 8/10
Overall Quality: 9/10

Total: 44/50 = B+ = Pretty Happy Panda
 
There are a few cool other colors in this collection. Have you tried them? What is your favorite medium for liner?

M.A.C Archie's Girls: Betty Lipglass in Stay Sweet

M.A.C Archie's Girls! I just had to get something before they were all sold out at my local Nordstroms counter!
 
 
 
M.A.C Archie's Girls Collection lipglass from the Betty line called Stay Sweet! It is a very light mod opaque pink with the typical lipglass formula: yummy vanilla smell and sticky texture that lasts a long time. This retails for $16.50 if you hurry!
 
 
First of all, the packaging of this line is to die for. This is for any one who is a fan of Betty, Veronica, or Archie, M.A.C in general, or anyone looking for the hot look of the Spring--mod pink lips.This is surprisingly easy to wear. Swipe on a ton for a super 60's look or sheer out for an easy everyday lip!
 
 
 
As you can see, the gloss is very shiny and opaque, I love the look! For more depth layer it over liner or lipstick.
 
 
Here it is on my lips sheered out. You don't have to go full mod to make this wearable! Lasts about 3 hours.
 
 
I love this lipglass!! Such a fun color from a cool collection!
 
Price: 7/10
