NYC 24 Hour Shadow Pencil

I received a NYC shadow pencil from Influenster, and I purchased one of the NYC base/primer pencils. The shadow pencil is in the shade Brooklyn Mocha. I really like the color - it's kind of a dark bronze-gold. The pencil is not as creamy as some others I have, but it goes on fairly opaque. This is the kind of shade that you can apply all over and be done. It wears well, but it isn't waterproof. It washes off easily.
These are some swatches - on the left is the base, next is Brooklyn Mocha with no base, next to that is Brooklyn mocha over the base, and on the far right is a purple applied over the base and over bare skin (it applied much better over the base). Below all of those, I swatched an ELF smudge pot in the shade Cruisin Chic that is very similar. I have to say that the ELF shadow is easier to apply and lasts longer, though.

I applied the base and then Brooklyn Mocha all over my lid, put on some Abvon Liqui-glide liner pencil, curled my lashes, put Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara on the top and Blinc Amplified mascara on the bottom lashes. I think the shadow provides a very natural, sophisticated look.

Overall, I think these are a good option if you are looking for a shadow pencil, and they are only $2.99 each. NYC often goes on sale 40-50% off though, which makes them an even better deal. The color range includes a lot of neutrals, two blues, a green, and a purple color. I have to say that I don't like these as much as my ELF smudge pots, but they are good for if you don't feel like sticking your finger in a pot.
