17 Metallic Eye Pencils + NOTD

17 is Boot's own brand aimed at the younger generation. I've always loved the 17 range!
They are always updating their packaging and bringing out new products through the years.
Anyhow I can't stop using these fat pencils, they're a lovely pigmented smooth formula, they glide on like Urban Decay's 24/7 liners. They don't seem to fade on me through the day either which I have trouble with a lot of these type of pencils.
17 pencils do live up to their name 'metallic' but with glowy iridescence
I only have two at the moment, but I honestly want to pick up some more.

Gold- Is a obviously a gold but is a true gold to me.
Green- Isn't really green, it's more like a blue teal.



NOTD H&M Gold with a topping of Seche Vite.
I've had this in my stash for a while, I love the formulation, being smooth and easy to work with, it's very frosty but you can not feel any grit whatsoever.
Imagine a gold mixed in with silver, this is exactly what this is.

BYS Shimmer Shine Pencils

BYS a is Australian born brand which is fairly newish to the UK, being stocked here online, or if you have access to a Store21.
These fat pencils seem to be a cross between MAC shadesticks and US brand NYX Jumbo Pencils.
I picked up the shades Pink Shimmer and Dark Blue Shimmer.
The packaging is a little like MAC, also having twist mechanism so no sharpening.
At £2.00 a pop they are very pigmented and glide on like butter.
They do seem to be more metallic than shimmery! I did also notice a vanilla scent almost identical to MAC lip products, which is rather strange for a eye product. At first I thought maybe they're multi-use but at the bottom of the pencil, it's says 'e/shad'.
Other then that these are very pretty, they would look wonderful in the inner corners and lower lash lines. Or maybe they could be used to perk up other shadows!
