Nykaa is selling the Lakme #KareenaKapoor Absolute range like hot cakes. It is also giving a free gift with every purchase from the same range, a beautiful box clutch in black color with some shimmer. The box clutch is no doubt a great accessory. But what can you say the same about the actual products that are released in this range? Lakme Absolute is a beautiful range and is decently priced. Kareena Kapoor Khan when collaborated with Lakme, produced her own line, as Lakme Kareena Kappor Khan Absolute Range.
The range is supposed to be glamorous while possessing some high voltage drama. I just bought one product from this range, appearantly a mascara which has been named as lash definer (very fancy), but does it deliver the celebrity status? Can we expect the same high performance that we expect from Kareena in her movies? We will see.

Why I Chose Lakme Kareena Kapoor Khan Absolute Lash Definer?
Well the range contains quite 6-7 products, including a foundation stick, blush, kohl, brow pencil, mascara etc. My first preference was of course to pick some lipsticks. But they were already out of stock along with the blush stick. I don’t have any mascara which is worth more than thousand rupees except Estee Lauder Sumptuous Mascara which was a free gift with Estee Double Wear Foundation.
I feel within thousand bucks you can get wonderful mascaras. actually I use a lot of under 1000 bucks mascaras. They never disappoint me. Coming back to my shopping story, Lakme Kareena Kapoor Khan Absolute Lash Definer was the only choice for me at that time.
Why I bought the mascara If I didn’t want to? Remember the box clutch I talked about in the beginning. It’s the culprit. It’s something I really wanted to have. It was too classy and beautiful to let go. I made my mind to buy one product and just get over with it. I don’t regret my decision regarding the clutch at least.
My Experience With Lakme Kareena Kapoor Khan Absolute Lash Definer
She is a glamour queen. Her fame proceeds her wherever she goes. It is not the first time that an actress has partnered with a cosmetic brand. Has happened in Hollywood and Bollywood before. And we always welcome it.
This lash definer comes in a fat solid black bottle with a golden cap. The cap has an applicator attached to it. The applicator is something that I want to talk about in detail. The fiber applicator is beautifully designed to get your lashes separated easily. The amplification goes very well after they are operated. The tip of the applicator is beautifully curved so that it can be swiped across the lashes easily.
The formula is clump free and very lightweight. I don’t feel any heaviness after wearing the mascara. Since it’s lightweight, I definitely need more of it as I am addicted to heavy lashes. The formula is quick dry. It’s so fuss free.
The shade is a true black. I don’t think you can ask for more black.
Coming to the after effects, Yes you can see some nice work on your lashes. They are separated from each other, they are curved (I have naturally curved eye lashes, mind you), and coated. There is no flakiness even after wearing it for hours. The lashes do not look fake.
Lastly, the price feels like a pinch while you are floating in a sweet dream. You know, the worse, even at this price, Kareena Kapoor decided to forget adding a water resistant feature to the mascara. Ahhhh…hhh.
The Good About Lakme Kareena Kapoor Khan Absolute Lash Definer
- Creamy, quick-dry & lightweight formula
- No clumps or flakiness
- Separates the lashes and amplifies the beautifully
- Gives awake look to the face
- Nice applicator
- Beautiful packaging
The Bad
- Price is high
The Ugly
- The mascara is not water proof. The brides will be highly disappointed by this fact.
Lakme Kareena Kapoor Khan Absolute Lash Definer, is a wonderful mascara if you talk about the formula or the natural finish that it gives to the lashes. The applicator wand is also very workable. The piece looks luxurious. The price is on higher side, which we can understand since a celebrity is associated with it. But not being water resistant can be really disappointing for some.
I am not disappointed by the purchase as I don’t really use water resistant mascaras anyway since they take efforts to come off. Also the clutch actually compensated for the price that I paid for the mascara. All is good.
I feel this range is over hyped as a whole just because it is associated with Kareena Kapoor and is being sold by Nykaa. No offence but I hate to receive so many promotional emails Nykaa… you are such a spammer 🙂
Hope you too agree with my views on the range. Let me what you think.
Much Love,
Nisha.

Totally agree with you. I think this range is too hyped. I don’t feel its worth for the price (if we don’t get the free clutch :D)

Seems to be a good mascara…will look out for this . I always love to use good quality mascara to make my eye more beautiful..
Hema
I liked the way you have reviewed it in detail. Definitely a pinch on pocket but seems to be impressive. I would surely give it a try
Ruchi Verma
This actually looks so good and I just loved the way you have written this piece of information…
Priyanka Bhattacharya
Quite honestly, I found your review so refreshing. Absolutely true to the fact. I am never in a mood to spend so much on brands like Lakme. With a couple more hundred bucks I can easily for premium brands.
Gurjeet Chhabra
Lakme products are amazing needless to say. I am great fan of mascara. Packaging look so cute. I will try it out
Mrinal Kiran
That last line cracked me up! Brides will be too sad for sure! XD the packaging is cool and the mascara seems to work great but I prefer water resistant ones too
Jhilmil Bhansali
Sounds quite a good Mascara, more so when it gives eyelashes a distinctive look. It for sure is little costly but worth a try considering the premium range from lakme. Kareena is a glamour queen and with her tag, its certain to try once.
Dipika Singh
Mascara brings best out of eye makeup and looks beautiful.
I am not a mascara person, nor do I have nack of getting it right. Lovely I am fan of Lakme.
Varsh
I love to apply mascara but a non-waterproof one is a bad idea in Mumbai. Lakme has great products, may be we can try it when indoors.
Jiya
I always thought it is over-hyped honestly after reading your post now I feel I am not alone who think this way.
Charu Chittwal
Loved reading such a detailed review, would definitely like to give the maskara a try, thank you for sharing
Snigdha Prusti
I didn’t find this mascara worth the hype. I will stick to my Maybelline mascara.
Reetuparna Saha
Agreed this range from Lakme is overpriced. I have felt so ever since it launched . Gald this mascara turned out decent. But at this price it should’ve been water resistant too.
Apsara mishra
Yes this worth to hype.
I had used this and its awesome. I use this for my eyebrows too.. And really loved this
Nidhi KM

Prerna Sinha
I’m a huge fan of mascara. I love wearing mascara. I’m extremely to try this one out. I’m gonna get one for myself as well!
Jhilmil D Saha
Although the mascara sounds great in performance the price is surely a big whole in the pocket.Given that its not water proof I would not invest my bucks on this.
