maybelline colossal kajal review!

Good afternoon , my dear gals!
Today, the product to be reviewed is the much raved about kajal: maybelline's colossal kajal!
I was totally irritated with this summer coz anything and everything i use on my face and eyes smudges and melts..ewww;(
So, i was damn eager to try this kajal on hearing that its smudge proof for 6 hours and is the blackest black!
All my friends knew how pissed i was in not able to find this anywhere in Allahabad and i actually developed obsessive compulsive disorder of searching this in every mall, every store and every online shop..phew..only God knows my effort and at last in my Delhi trip, i found it and i was like, *am on the top of this world * and applied it the moment i got it in my hands...he..he..literally, yeah!


What Maybelline sez:



COLOSSAL INTENSITY:

Our Deepest black pigments + unique tip deliver the blackest black shine ever. Color glides on smooth and so intense!

COLOSSAL WEAR:

Never before 6 hours of smudge resistant
wear. Our exclusive color fix formula guarantees intense color results that won't smudge, budge or fade. No more touch ups.

COLOSSAL CARE:

The ultimate in care with a combination of 5 caring ingredients. Formula enriched with Vitamin E soothes the eyes.

What i felt:

i was too too excited about it and there was nothing that dint live up to the expectations..
yep, it lasted for 5 smydge fee hours and was as dark as coal tar( if  kno wat i mean, the jet black;)
i even applied it on the lower lash line to get that big eyes look and topped it with a black eye shadow, hurray, even it didnt smudge for around 4 hours..
the Sa in the shop did a swatch on my hands and it was there amidst all the sweat and heat of delhi till night when my hubby noticed;)




Pros:

  • economic
  • smudge proof
  • darkest black
  • has vit e
  • cute packaging
  • glides on easily
  • doesn't irritate my eyes

                                               top: 2 swipes, bottom: 1 swipe
Cons:

  • Nothing except that there is no ingredients list;)



My final verdict:
  I'd rate it 9/10
Maybelline's colossal kajal is certainly worth a try especially in hot humid weather conditions..Am using it for 4 days now and i have experienced no irritation or any ill effects..
It is a definite must have in every indian's vanity case!
love ya gals..take care..

THE BODY SHOP Facial buffer review

The body shop's claim of becoming beautiful naturally is absolutely true!
I was roaming around city centre mall in gurgaon and was very happy to see THE BODY SHOP there and did a tiny shopping there..
the first one to be reviewed is the facial buffer!


WHAT TBS CLAIMS:
A gentle exfoliating sponge to polish your skin, whilst cleansing, leaving it feeling refreshed and looking radiant. Use daily for a gentle skin boost. Particularly good for use on dry skin that needs to be exfoliated regularly, it leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.


PRICE: 1451NR


TIPS:Splash your face with warm water. Apply Vitamin E Cream Cleanser to the buffer and smooth over the face and neck. Splash your face with water to remove residue. Use every morning or evening to help remove dead skin cells.
Apply a small amount of cleansing foam to the Facial Buffer and rub over the face in circular movements.


MY TAKE ON THE PRODUCT:
I bought this buffer only yesterday and am already in love with it..
thereis absolute differece the very next moment of usage..he..he..yes..even my hubby toched my face and sed its softer(yay for it)
i didnt have a vit e cleanser from tbs nor am i dry skinned but i absolutely insist the necessity of scrubbing an oily acne prone skin like mine..
i had the olay natural white cleanser with me and put one drop of it( yes just 1 drop) and slightly used it on my face in circular motions and in white head prone areas gently for abt 30 seconds..the drop of cleanser i put was lathering like i had a used a spoon of it and tadaa, my face was clean and soft and polished...


PROS:

  • ECONOMIC
  • LIVES UP TO ITS CLAIMS
  • VERY LITTLE USE OF CLEANSER 
  • IT WILL LAST ATLEAST FOR 6-9 MONTHS



CONS:

  • WASH IT AND SUNDRY IT ATLEAST ONCE A WEEK
  • IF USED HARSHLY, IT MIGHT IRRITATE THE SKIN





IF U R A BATH PRODUCT AHOLIC, U MIGHT SURELY WANA TRY IT AND I NEVER KNEW A DROP OF CLEANSER LATHERS SO MUCH;)
I WUD NOT SAY ITS AN ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE PRODUCT BUT IF U ARE ANY WHERE CLOSER TO A TBS COUNTER, ITS WORTH A BUY THEN, AFTER ALL, ITS JUST 145!


I RATE IT 8/10


LOV YAA..
TAKE CARE GUYS!
