Colorbar Indian Eye Kohl/Kajal Review and Swatches!

Hey guys! Hope you liked my previous post on the little diy I did.

Today I am going to review an eye kohl or let us better call it our kajal by Colorbar. This was my first product from the brand Colorbar USA. I had got this from Urbantouch.com  last October and I have used it since then.

Price:- I'd got it for Rs.125/- (but I guess it is now for Rs.150/-)

What it claims:-
Colorbar Kajal is smooth to apply and gives the eyes a dramatic jet black color

What I think about this:-
First I'd like to talk about the super sexy packaging of this Kajal! I LOVE how cool it looks. I like it's packaging more than the Colossal Kajal's yellow packaging. Although this one need to be sharpened and the Colossal one comes with a twist-up packaging.I have used this for probably a year now (you can tell, it's size has reduced. It was as long as the box) and its really a good and jet-black kajal. It is a fat Kajal pencil like the NYX Jumbo Pencils.
 It is really smooth to apply so no tugging near the eyes. It has a very slight smell of a typical Kajal which I don't think will be a problem for anyone.
The only thing I don't like about this is that it smudges on your waterline and doesn't last long. It smudges in 3-4 hours! I remember I always used to wipe the bottom of my waterline to see if it has smudged or not. Other than that it is a good pencil and I think we can make it work with applying a back eyeshadow on top of this to make it last longer (I'll try this and let you know). And it is definitely better than the Lakme Kajal (not referring to the Eyeconic one, the other Lakme Kajal).

Pros:-
1. very black
2. smooth and creamy, hence easy application
3. packaging is good and sturdy
4. inexpensive
5. doesn't irritate the waterline

Cons:-
1. needs to be sharpened (not a problem for me)
2. smudges within 3-4 hours
3. not a good idea to use it as an eyeliner

Will I repurchase it?:- No, I love my Colossal Kajal which is way better than this and now want to try the Eyeconic one. :)

Miss Claire Eye Pencils in Denim Blue and Tahitian Blue, Review,swatches

Hey everyone!

Today I am reviewing Miss Claire Eye Pencils called the Glimmersticks in the shades ‘denim blue’ and ‘tahitian blue’.

These come for I think somewhere around 150 INR/- each and in various shades. I have three more of these in Black, White and a grey one called Graphite which have been reviewed already.

Packaging:

It comes with a silver lid and the rest of the pencil is in the color of the liner. It has to be sharpened.

My take on the product:

Since I already had tried some liners from this brand and I wanted to get some fun colored eye liners I got these two! And I’d had them for some months now.

Now on to the two shades..Denim Blue is a pretty blue shade with shimmer and looks my warm brown eyes pop! Whereas Tahitian Blue is not blue at all, it is dark green in fact and matt with no shimmer at all! They are creamy in texture and pigmented but now the problem arises..it doesn’t stay long!! It fades that too unevenly. Yeah..I have tried them at home first so that I know how long they stay but I noticed they stay on one eye and fades on another! This is not what we want our liners to do right??!!  And they smudge as well. And they don’t come with testers as well..so you can’t swatche them..

I haven’t dared to use these to college after that! But I tried some eyeshadow swatches on with these as base and it works that way! So I can use them when I do looks atleast!

But I still love the other grey one from Miss Claire called ‘Graphite’!

smudged! :/

Will I buy these again?: No!! I am looking forward to get my hands on some Faces liners instead.  

Review_VOV Beaute Pencil Eyeliner in Black!

So here's a liner I was using for such a long time and I never reviewed it!! Even the pictures are from my previous cam which was stolen!! RIP my dear cam.. :'(
Ok..I know I am bad at doing reviews and posts on time..blame it on college life... :D

I got VOV kohl eyeliner probably a year ago..I think I got this for somewhere near 100 INR or less..don't remember see!!

-Its waterline safe..and that's how I was using this all this while..(yes..I have got something better now!!)
-Stays on for good 4-5 hours..I guess..and even when it starts fading it doesn't smudge around..so thats a good thing!!
-Its a cheapo!! College girls (read like me!) can definitely go for this!!
-The pigmentation is pretty good...
-It glides smoothly..no tugging required!

Cons? I don't think there are any..what else you expect in such a price!! Its a budget buy!!! :D
