What is one brand that comes to mind when thinking of a Greek Goddess? The two brands for my is Eye of Horus and then of course NYX.
You may be familiar with NYX but asking how on Earth that reminds me of a Greek Goddess.. Well below Wiki will explain exactly how and why.

WIKIPEDIA MEANING OF NYX: Nyx (Greek: Νύξ, "Night")[1] – Roman (in Latin): Nox – is the Greek goddess (or personification) of the night. A shadowy figure, Nyx stood at or near the beginning of creation, and was the mother of other personified deities such as Hypnos (Sleep) and Thanatos (Death). Her appearances are sparse in surviving mythology, but reveal her as a figure of exceptional power and beauty. She is found in the shadows of the world and only ever seen in glimpses.
So when I think of NYX I imagine a goddess and how she would wear her make up. The two standout product from NYX for me are:

Then of course there is a product that a lot of beauty bloggers have been raving about lately, this product is of course the
NYX WONDER PENCIL $8.95
Also available at Target
For a measly $8.95 I think this pencil is an absolute steal!! This is a multi-funcational pencil that conceals, lines and brightens. It has the ability to hide blemished (even those stubborn ones), acts as a lip liner to prevent your favourite lip colour from bleeding and is an eyeliner that brightens your eyes once you apply it on the water line, which is the line under your eyes.
The pencil comes in three shades- light, medium and deep. Medium is the number 1 selling shade from this line as it suits most face colours in my opinion and is what I was sent for review.
I love using the NYX Wonder Pencil under my eyes where it is really dark, as it doesn’t move once I apply my foundation and really lightens up that area.
Great pencil to keep in your makeup case to eliminate big and bulky products- perfect for the traveling beauty.
