Coloressence Bridal Kajal Review, Swatch and EOTD

Good day mates! How are you all doing? Today I am going to review Coloressence Bridal Kajal for you. Kajal is one essential makeup product that we Indians can never think of going out without it, for high makeup to no makeup look.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 99 for 2.5 g.

My Take:

Coloressence is the cosmetic range of the herbal brand Nature’s Essence, and beforehand, I have used products from both the range. Till date, I have not experienced any bad experience with this brand; so, I thought why not try my favorite part of my makeup, kajal from this brand.

This kajal comes in a very chic black stick packaging. The kajal smells pretty nice. The brand claims to get the perfect color in one stroke, and that is true. One stroke gives a deep color on the eyes. The color is also very preferable, jet black. Pointy end of this kajal stick helps to get a perfect line on the eyelids. But, after using it for a long time, the stick becomes blunt and difficult to draw a fine line.

It is highly pigmented; the kajal does not easily smudge or fades (until rubbing eyes vigorously, which I occasionally do). It does not cause any irritation or inflammation to my eyes, keeps it cool. Staying power is average, stays perfect for 3-4 hours, then starts to smudge a little from the lower lid, but never fades. For that time, I only wipe the lower part of my lower eye lids and my eyes look perfect again.

I have uses similar kajal sticks from Lotus Herbals and I must say, in comparison to looks and color, this wins. Even my Lotus smudges and fades very soon, unlike this one. So, bottom line, I loved it and I am so glad that I bought it.

Elle 18 Kajal With Almonds Review, Swatches and EOTD

24 Replies

Hello everyone!
Today I am going to review one of the best budget friendly kajals available in the Indian market. It is the Elle 18 Black Kajal which claims to contain almond extracts. Let us check how it works.

Price and Quantity:

Rs.65 for 3 ml

Shelf Life:

30 months

Ingredients:

Almonds

Shade Reviewed:

Black

My Take on Elle 18 Kajal:

This kajal comes in a girly black, twist up type plastic bullet. Unlike pencil kajals, there is no need for sharpening; hence no wastage. The product is packed well. Its easy to use, travel friendly and mess free. But I highly doubt about the the ease-of-usage getting reduced due to the cone shaped product.

The color of this kajal is dark black and it glides smoothly onto the eye lids and water line. The texture is creamy and smooth; so no tugging or tightness. The kajal defines your eye with a beautiful glossy black shade.

The staying power of this kajal is about 3-5 hours and after that it fades leaving a black tint on your water line. Though I have many waterproof black kajals/kohls in my stash, I want this one so badly to line my waterline for short visits 🙂 May be to a super market or friends house? (You really cant wear and remove a stubborn water proof kajal for 10 minute visits! Right?)

The kajal is very mild and it never hurts my sensitive eyes. Overall, this is a must buy kajal for school/college girls and girls who want that dark kajal for short visits; which gets removed easily with a regular face wash. I absolutely love this kajal! Thank you Elle 18.

I highly recommend this black kajal to school/college going girls and all kajal lovers who want that easy-to-remove, yet dark black, mild kajal in your vanity case. Get it and I am sure you won’t regret.

MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil Engraved Review, Swatches and EOTD

Hello all you pretty MABHians 🙂

I am back after short hiatus from reviewing, but I am all charged have some great reviews lined up only for you. I hope you are all enjoying the much awaited monsoons. This in fact is my favorite time of the year. I love the sound of rains and cool breeze in my balcony sipping chai with pakoras.. mmm drooling already 😉

Monsoons also call for the need of a great skin care regime and good quality makeup products. So today I’ll be reviewing one such great product; a nice black eye pencil/liner that’s a must for every woman’s vanity bag.

Price & Quantity:

Rs 1100 for 1.2 gm/0.04 US OZ

Key Ingredients:

My Take:

The pencil comes in a signature Black MAC case with sleek long MAC eye pencil with black bottom and gray cap.

The color is not the blackest of black but it does come off as nice black with creamy smooth and glide on eye formula with mild kohl kind of smell.

This is the best eye pencil I’ve used by far and I’m not saying this because its MAC but because its quality speaks for itself. It’s really waterproof, smudge proof, non transferring as it claims and no pulling or tugging required 🙂 The formula does not sting/itches my eyes at all so much so that I once took a nap with the liner on and still my eyes did not sting or itch at all after waking up.

The consistency is very smooth and creamy and glides on eye lids and gives an ultimate matte finish to the eyes, it stays where it is even after 12+ hours even on the super oily lids like mine.. Yay!! (Happy dance)

Before and After Water Test:

Staying power is super awesome for both lids and waterline. It can be smudged for a smokey if freshly applied but after its sets after about a minute it stays and stays for good 🙂

I like all kinds of liners but I love the pencil ones the most. This one eye pencil did burn a hole in my pocket but because it does what it claims, I really don’t mind it!!

This has become my HG eye pencil, don’t think will ever get tired of using it.
