This was my very first jumbo e/s pencil from NYX and I bought it a while ago (can you tell that the packaging looks different?). The difference between cottage cheese and milk is that cottage cheese is a shimmery silver while milk is just a flat white.
Like most jumbo e/s pencils, I never wear this on it's own and I always use a primer underneath. I rarely wear silvers, but when I'm going for a darker look (most of my dark e/s have silver shimmer in it) I like to use this to give my e/s and the shimmer something to stick to without using too much color.
I really like the pigmentation and I think you get a lot of bang for your buck because you don't need much to cover your eyelid or your entire eye space. The lasting power is pretty decent, especially when you use an e/s base underneath.
Personally I don't like the idea of putting this product directly on top of a base (b/c putting a cream product on top of a cream product doesn't make sense to me) so right before I place this on, I'll go over everywhere I placed the primer with an matte cream colored e/s. Then I'll place it on top of that matte e/s.
As my first NYX jumbo e/s pencil, it was definitely a good experience and I definitely picked up more because of it and it's extremely affordable too.
