Just Ordered: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils from tantycosmetics.com.au

I've been at home sick the past couple of days so I've been giving You Tube a bit of a workout on my phone, watching eyeshadow tutorials, reviews & more.

I watched a few tutorials where the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk was used as a base. The colour is a matte white & it really seemed to make the eyeshadow colours more vibrant as they were true to colour!

I've been eyeing Inglots White Gel Eyeliner for the past few months to use as a base, & waterline highlight but haven't been back to Inglot for a few weeks (can you believe it?) to check it out. Due to Christmas madness I probably won't be getting there till the New Year. :(

So, I've decided to give the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil a go in the meantime. The reviews on Make Up Alley (www.makeupalley.com) seem quite positive about this drugstore product. I think I will give it a go!

Now onto the ordering!

During a quick Google search I found a company called Tanty Cosmetics (isn't that a cute name?). Tanty Cosmetics seems to be a new online cosmetic company from Melbourne & stock products that are hard to get in Australia such as NYX, ELF & LA Girl.

I found that the prices of the NYX Jumbo Eye pencils are $5.95AU each - not as cheap as the $3.50US price, but seems to be the average price in Australia. What kept me on the Tanty Cosmetics website is that they have Free Shipping Australia Wide for Christmas. Well, that sealed the deal!


At this point I usually do a review of the company to see if there are any complaints but being in the Christmas spirit (and that the order would be just over $10) I thought that I'd just put through an order & see how it goes! *GULP*. Their Facebook page & Twitter account seem legit so fingers crossed! I'm always willing to give a new company a go.

The order was for 2 x NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils (Milk - matte white - & Black Bean - matte black) to be used as bases. Payment was put through PayPal.

I will keep you updated as to the product, and my impression of Tanty Cosmetics.

TTFN!
