FACES Utlime Pro Intense Gel Kajal - Review, Swatch, Price

Hi friends! It's been a really long time since I last posted on the blog. I was travelling for almost a month and just posting on social media during that time.

If you follow me on Instagram you know that I was attending a wedding in Virginia and must have seen a few pics of mine. I wore a new kajal during the celebrations and I'm sharing the review with you all now.

FACES Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal Applied As Eyeliner

FACES Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal is a new launch from FACES Canada. Its a kajal pencil at one end and a smudger brush at the other.

Price: Rs 549 [available online for Rs 490]

The kajal has an intense black color and the pencil is itself extremely soft. The effect of the pencil is similar to what you get when you use a gel liner. The pencil is easy to use and makes the whole process of applying the kajal very quick. The pencil glides on and settles to a smudge free finish.

Faces Magneteyes Kajal Review and Swatch

Faces Magnetyes Kajal is a new product from Faces Canada. The kajal pencil comes in a striking red twist up pencil form and is claimed to last you all day long.

Magnetyes Kajal is enriched with Vitamin E. The twist up pencil is great because there is no need for sharpening and hence less product wastage.

The texture is amazingly smooth. It simply glides on the eyelids and waterline. When you look at the pencil stick itself you will agree that this looks the blackest of all kajals out there in the market today. I have extremely watery eyes so I needed two swipes on my waterline but on the upper lid I use this as a liner and a single swipe is enough.

It takes a few seconds to settle down so if you want you can smudge it well before it settles. This is great to create smokey eyes. For the swatches I swiped it once on the hand and then a little further away I applied a bit of lotion and applied this on top - just to test the intensity. It smeared a bit (as expected because of the lotion underneath) but the swipe still looked pretty intense.

I am wearing this in the pic below on the lower lash line smudged on the outer corner with the green kajal from Soultree. As you can see its pretty intense black.

Soultree Ayurvedic Kajal (Green Kohl) Review and Swatch

Soultree ayurvedic kajal has been out in the market for quite some time now. Recently one of the beauty bags also had this as part of the monthly offering. The kajal (kohl) comes in a lipstick style packaging with a pointy tip.

Soutree Ayurvedic Kajal (Green Kohl) Review and Swatch

This colored kohl is extremely safe for the eyes because it is free of preservatives and synthetic coloring.
It is made of organic ghee (unprocessed butter), camphor (for a cooling effect), almond oil and organic pigments for the color.

Price: Rs 350 (available for Rs 295 online)

The texture of the Soultree kajal is extremely soft and smooth. The color is not intense but buildable. The kajal does not irritate the eyes and can be applied on the waterline.

Plum Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal and Sharpener Review, Swatches and Price

Hello girls, all those of you who wear a kohl almost daily please raise your hands! I know atleast 80% of you must have raised their hand - ok well not really raised it but you meant to because you do use it everyday right?

I personally do not use a kohl everyday but have a lot of friends who do. So this review is for all of you specially if you wear contacts or have sensitive eyes.

Today I am sharing a kajal from a brand called Plum (website is plumgoodness.com) This kohl kajal is called Angel Eyes. It is a 100% natural kohl that is aimed to give you long wear without harming your eyes at all.

Oh and before I forget - do participate in the Kawaii Box Giveaway which ends on the 17th of December - you can win yourself a box full of cute goodies from Japan and Korea.

Plum Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal and Sharpener Review, Swatches and Price

Angel Eyes True Black kohl kajal is made with no synthetic dyes, preservatives or other chemicals. It contains a few oils like jojoba oil, macadamia oil and chamomile extracts. Angel Eyes kohl kajal is specially formulated for regions like India which are dusty, and where one has to go through a high exposure to sun and pollution.

The Plum Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal comes in a lovely white pencil with purple lettering on it. It is a regular pencil that needs to be sharpened but you get a really cute yellow and purple sharpener with it. There is not too much product wastage as I don't have to sharpen too often.

The sharpener is made of plastic but has a soft silicon cover that allows you to close the sharpener so that nothing gets stuck in the open ends if you are carrying this or have kept it in a drawer full of products. It has two sharpening ends - one for thin pencils like Angel Eyes and one for thicker pencils.

Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal True Black is a jet black kajal. It takes a few minutes to settle down so you can easily smudge it if you are using it as a liner. The texture is very smooth. It stays on for only 2 hours on the waterline for me and settles into the lower lash line. It is not waterproof and is hence easily removable.

Maybelline Colossal Kajal – My take on the much talked about product

Whenever I would ask someone about their favourite kajal – pat came the reply – Maybelline Colossal Kajal. I asked questions like would it stay on the waterline, wash it long lasting, and mostly the replies I got were promising. So after a lot of though I finally purchased this little yellow angel.

Maybelline Colossal Kajal

What the company claims
The company claims that this kajal can stay put without smudging for 6 hours. It is also supposed to contain ingredients that are good for the skin/eyes like vitamin E and C.

The Product
Maybelline Colossal Kajal comes in a yellow retractable pencil form. Very easy to carry, and easy to spot even in a huge pile of products. The kajal stick is soft and smooth in texture. Maybelline Colossal Kajal does not tug your skin on application giving a very neat look.

Coloressence Bridal Kajal - Review

Guest post by Iswarya Laxmi

I know how much we all love kajal’s and finding a right one is like a dream to us.
Before the Maybelline colossal and Lakme eye conic ones were launched in the market, I was on the lookout for a dense kajal that was smudge free.

I was using the Himalaya one and was happy with it but I wanted to try and experiment new brands.
When I went to a beauty store this coloressence kajal caught my eye.

Coloressence Bridal Kajal

What the company claims
"Bridal Kajal:
This unique Ayurvedic formula is soft and soothing to the eye
The added ingredients help to improve vision and brighten the eye
It is mild, gentle and safe to the eye and therefore can be used by anyone
This kajal does not smudge"

What the pack says

• Unique nourishing formula for effortless application
• Water proof and ultra-smooth for all day wear
• Bridal kajal is a state of the art kajal with a unique fast dry formula that has a smooth flow and apt application which is water proof and lasts all day without smudging and flaking

Product
It comes in a plastic packaging with a twist up product application similar to that of our lipsticks. The product comes in a conical form. The outer package is black with a silver rim.
The package is very attractive.

Coloressence Bridal Kajal

My Experience
This kajal is not at all smooth and it’s not gliding on my eyeline. It’s too hard and I can hardly see any difference after applying it. This is one of the worst kajal I have ever used. I personally didn’t like it. I was expecting a lot when it was written bridal kajal.
They have just used some fancy words on the package. It’s not that smudge free and waterproof too. It stayed only till one hour. Also the shade is light black. It’s not that deep or pigmented.

Details at a glance
Packaging: plastic, travel friendly
Pigmentation: not good
Waterproof: no
Price: Rs 85

What I like

• Economical/inexpensive
• Product will last long as the quantity is decent enough
• Travel friendly
• Attractive packaging

What I don't like

• Hard
• Not effective/not true to its claim
• Not easy to use
• Not the deep black

Repurchase: no, never
Rating 1/5
Final verdict: Girls if you are looking for a daily wear kajal then this product is fine but if you are looking out for a smudge free or waterproof and pigmented one for smokey look then this product won’t help.
Hope you liked my review.
Stay beautiful :)
