02/22/2010 : This is some bullshit


When I entered the Harmon beauty supply this morning, I was just looking to kill some time. See, I was an idiot and walked out of the house in short sleeves this morning. So, I decided that I needed to treat myself to a new swing cardigan. The swing cardigan store opens kind of late, so I was putzing around for a while. So I guess we could safely assume that I did not really need any of the items I purchased today in Harmon.

One was especially a stand out.

The NYX felt tipped liner.

Now, here’s the thing. I like NYX’s products. I feel like they’re a solid drugstore brand So where the hell did this go wrong? They have shit the proverbial bed on this one.

First of all, when I opened the product, it kind of exploded all over my hand. Imagine what it would look like if a squid were to get excited in or around your hand area.

The next thing I noticed was that the brush was not pliable or flexible at all. Compare it to a very long, pointy sharpie marker. It’s too thick to compare to the penultimate, but it’s too thin to compare to a Crayola.

And lastly, my final complaint, it runs. Like the wind. Like poorly made hosiery. It was so bad, the liner actually transferred from my lash line to my upper lid, above my crease. And not only that, it stained the upper crease area blue.

I don’t really know what to do with this product now. I’m pretty sure I can’t return it, and I’m pretty sure it can only be used for doing an enemies eye makeup or something like that.

Suggestions?

Do I keep it around for random body art?

Do I put it in the “crap I hope someone on the internet will buy off of me one day” bin?

Lastly,

wtf, NYX?
