Oh baby.. You are my dream! You are my nightmare. DREAMS about having you on my eyes. NIGHTMARES about breaking my little piggy bank. I saved all my ice creams, chocolates, samosas, films, books paisa just for you alone. It took many nights to decide about bringing you home or not. Finally I gave you are a warm welcome into my heart and now you are sitting comfortably in my home. That BABY is my favorite MAC Eye Kojl. Since it’s a baby I wanted to give a poetic welcome and my expressions of love too. 🙂 No more poems, lets move on to the review.

Price and Quantity:

Rs.790 for 1.45 gm

My Experience:

I have a love-hate relationship with this product. I love its packaging. Who doesn’t love black? It comes in a standard matte black MAC rectangular box. The pencil is black in color. It is a normal type of pencil that needs to be sharpened. But I think it is quite long when compared to the other pencils. So it can last you for quite a long time.

MAC Smolder Eye Kohl Review, Swatches and Photos

The texture of this kohl is really smooth and creamy. It glides on eyes like butter, hence no tugging and pulling around eyes. Even though it has a creamy texture it doesn’t break while sharpening. Most importantly, it has that blackest black color that every girl wants.

As it is well pigmented you just need few swipes of this to get a jet black eye. It is not smudge proof actually. If you have watery eyes this is not for you, because it smudges so badly when eyes are rubbed accidentally. But once it settles it stays for a long time. It is not waterproof but water resistant. At the end of the day, it fades but doesn’t give you that raccoon eyes. I wear contact lens and it doesn’t irritate my eyes. Overall, it is not so worth of money but still a decent product.

On My Eyes:

PROS:

Nice packaging
The texture is smooth and creamy
Easy to sharpen, doesn’t break while sharpening
Blackest black color makes it stand out
Stays for a whole day if eyes are not rubbed or set with a eye shadow
Easy to create dramatic smokey eye looks just as the MAC MUA recommends

CONS:

As you guess, expensive!!!
Not smudge proof hence smudges a lot on watery eye and if rubbed accidentally
It is water resistant but not waterproof.

Rating: 3.5/5 (for being expensive, non smudge proof and non waterproof)

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, if you need a jet black kohl to create smokey looks and if you don’t have watery eyes and hyperactive hands. Not to forget if you don’t mind the heavy price tag.

Would I Repurchase?:

No. I cant break my piggy bank again. I think Lakme Eyeconic kajal works better than this.

Hi All!

Today I am going to review MAC Lipstick in Sheer Plum Shade.

Price & Quantity:

Rs 990-/ for 3g /0.1 US Oz

Shade:

Sheer Plum , They are available in infinite number of shades Seriously! 🙂

Ingredients:

Product Availability:

Widely available over M.A.C stores and Selected Outlets in Malls.

Shelf Life:

3 years

My Experience:

Packaging: It comes in their classy black boxes. The lipstick is in standard bullet shaped cases which I really like with MAC engraved on the cap with good quantity of the lipstick.

Color, Consistency & Texture: It is a sheer plum shade which I finalised after trying a lot of shades in MAC stores. One thing I just love about the MAC’s SA’s is that they are very patient and learned, always giving you the right advice and are never pushy or force you to buy anything, they are equally happy with you on swatching the products 🙂
Coming to the texture, which is really creamy and super lustrous. It does not set heavy on your lips. A single coat gives you a very sheer coverage but 2-3 coats give you an opaque and slightly build-able coverage. It has a very pleasant vanilla/toffee like scent and makes you keep re-applying it.

How it works: You can apply it directly or as a top coat after filling it with a matching lip liner. I applied it directly and it glides so smoothly on the lips. It is super-moisturous 🙂 It’s a lovely kind of baked plum colour and very sheer too as you see in the swatch.

Swatch:

What I loved about this lip shade is that it is best for t a girl who has slightly pigmented/dark lips because it imparts a very beautiful vintage color to your lips which really brightens up your face and makes your lips super lustrous and does not settle in fine lines. Though I am not very impressed with the staying power of the lipstick; it stayed on my lips for around 2-3 hours. But the best thing is that it does not bleed and fades leaving a very nice lip stain. In short I liked the lipstick and it is one of the best products of M.A.C.
