Lotus Makeup colorkick kajal review & swatch

Hi Everyone :)

Today I am reviewing Lotus Make - up Colorkick kajal.

 Ever since I saw the advertisement I was tempted to try it. So when I was at health & glow I quickly grabbed this when the SA swatched it, the color was jet black in just one swipe. She told me to let it set for a minute and after that she applied the cleansing milk on top of it and rubbed it vigoursly and this baby dint not smudge or budge what so ever. I was amazed and told her to bill it immediately.

Product claims: An extreme, deep black pigmented smudge proof formula enriched with botanical extracts of almond oil. The one glide application makes it easy to use without any flakiness and stays perfect for 8 hours without any smudge.

They also have included guidelines for 3 different looks that might be useful for a lot of newbies.

100% vegetarian enriched with botanical extracts.

                     

Texture & Pigmentation:

This kajal is ultra smooth and glides on like butter on my eyes. No pulling or tugging at all. Color intensity is jet black and super pigmented. You just need one swipe to get a solid black color that instantly makes my eye brighter.

Jet black in 1 swipe

Lasting power:

This lasted for a good 6 hours on me which is pretty good and after that it started to fade slightly from my waterline.

When I set the kajal with a black eye shadow this lasts easily for 8-10 hours.

After rubbing 1 minute later it still is intense and faded just slightly 

Packaging: I find the packaging really adorable. It comes in a flirty pink retractable pencil. The twist up mechanism makes it easy to use and makes it travel friendly 

Pros:

• Jet black in 1 swipe
• Contains almond oil which is good for eyes
• 100% vegetarian
• Smudge proof
• Decent staying power
• Even & smooth application
• Doesn't irritate or sting my eyes
• Lives up to most of it claims
• Works fantastic as base for smokey eye makeup look 

Cons:

• Slightly pricey for the quantity (may be a con for some)
• Complete ingredient list is missing.
• Does not stay for 8 hours unless you set it with black eye shadow (I dont mind that as I almost always set my kajal with ES)

Price: INR 199 for 0.28g

Rating: 4.75/5

Overall verdict: I always liked Lakme eyeconic over Maybelline colossal and now I can easily say that I like it as much as Lakme eyeconic. Well in terms of pigmentation this is better than Lakme & Maybelline but in terms of staying power lakme eyeconic wins. I will repurchase this.

Plum Angel Kohl Kajal in True black review + swatch

Hey Gorgeous :) today I am going to review another organic product from one of my recent Favourite brand Plum.

How cute is the white & purple packaging ^_^

I have already reviewed a few more of their amazing products on my blog like Choco latte hand cream HERE and Green tea mattifying  moisturiser HERE

INGREDIENTS :

Jojoba oil
Pronounced “ho-ho-ba” oil, jojoba oil is a skin-compatible naturally occurring “goody” that PLUM loves. Because it resembles the natural chemistry of sebum on skin, it has excellent healing and moisturizing properties to keep your eyes shining through the day

Macadamia oil
Rich in antioxidants, including squalene, a naturally occurring antioxidant present within our skin, macadamia oil makes this formulation supremely skin-compatible.

Chamomile flower extracts
Soothing, relaxing, and calming. Now you know what Angel Eyes is all about.

Mango seed oil
Bet you never thought about oil when you saw mangoes. Some of us did, and decided to include this really exquisite source of essential fatty acids and vitamins in our kohl kajal

What PLUM says about this Kohl :

♥ Heavenly soft texture cushions your eye. All-day wearing comfort.

♥ 100% natural formula. Free of synthetic preservatives, dyes & fragrances.

♥ Rich "True Black" color with excellent coverage & long-lasting application. Does not smudge easily!

♥ Soothing chamomile extracts, hydrating jojoba oil & nourishing macadamia and mango-seed oils for soft, nourished skin.

♥ Excellent skin compatibility, suitable for sensitive skin.

♥ Dermatologically approved.

♥ Encased in a beautiful wooden pencil crafted from sustainably grown Weymouth Pine wood (FSC certified).

♥ Natural Vitamin E antioxidant. Helps against ageing of skin.

♥ Finished product not tested on animals.

♥ Made in the EU and conforms to US, European and Japanese regulations.

Do you need anything else tell me :P It indeed has all the goodness inside.

Left : 1 swipe,  Right : 3 swipes

MY EXPERIENCE:

• It arrived in just 2 days which is the QUICKEST DELIVERY by far from any of my shopping experiences online.
• As soon as I got my package first things I used was this Kohl & the hand cream & trust me its so gentle & soothing to the eyes you guys (rhyme not intended LOL) 
• Its super smooth and glides on my waterline like DREAM.
• No tugging or pulling.
• Does not sting.
• Coverage is rich black.
•  On me it stays on for 4-5 hours with just a slide fading after that.
• If you rub on it it will smudge slightly so keep your hands away.
• Its AWESOME to create Smokey Eye look trust me guys. I did a Classic Black smokey eyes using this pencil as a base all over my lid and then used rest of my eye shadows and it turned out SUPER SEXY ;)

This was after the vigorous rubbing 

What even Nicer? On purchase of this Angel Eye Kohl Kajal you get a Plum Posh Eye Pencil sharpener (Dual) Free.

And not Just this Kohl but the sharpener is pretty amazing too. 

Check out the Picture below. 

• The most unique thing about the sharpener is that it even has a cleaning stick WOWWWWW its like someone read my mind because I just hate having sharpened pencil bit sticking on my sharpener and then it stains rest of the products in the box. 

• It comes with a fully detachable cover so my lovelies this is super travel friendly and you can easily store it in your purse. 

ATSL Overall Rating - 4/5 

Pigmentation - 4.5/5

Long lasting - 3.75

I recommend this product to everyone who wanna save their eyes hehe :)

Available online : Plummgoodness.com & amazon.in

Easy winged eye liner tutorial

Hey guys happy morning. The biggest hit this season is a winged/cat eyeliner look. So my next tutorial is about how to get a quick and easy winged eye liner.


STEP 1
Dip your brush in a gel eyeliner of your choice and draw a flick on the outside of your eye by simply following your lower lash line using an angled brush.

STEP 2
Exactly where your flick ends, extend the flick towards inside in a curved shallow U shape.

STEP 3
Once you have a guideline extend the liner inside by keeping it thicker on the outside and going thin as you move inside.

STEP 4
Now fill in your gaps and your winged  eyeliner looks like this.
