Hello Again.
I know you must be feeling like I have been reviewing a lot of SUGAR cubes these days, but I just can’t help it. I want to share my excitement with you people. All the products from SUGAR are really fab. They deserve appreciation.
I like to use colored eye liners & kajals. Blacks are too basic & monotonous. Though I loved using black Kajal from SUGAR, but when I laid my hands on the twist & shout kajal range, I chose “Still Got The Blues”, because, I already have too many black kajals/liners. I want SUGAR to come up with more shades in this twist packaging as it is easy to use & I do not have to worry about sharpening the product before using it. Though the creamy tip is not really pointed, but at least there is no need to sharpen it, every single time.
Let’s find out more about this creamy & colored kajal from SUGAR Cosmetics.
About SUGAR Twist And Shout Fadeproof Kajal
SUGAR listened to our requests and came up with the twist to open version of it’s creamy kajals and that too in two shades. It’s creamy consistency & preservative free formula makes it wearable on water line as well as on lash line. The kajal is designed such a way that you get a firm hold on the stick while applying it. SUGAR claims that the kajal will give benefits of a kajal as well as a gel liner. This will stay smudge proof for about 10 hours.

Packaging
The kajal stick comes in the signature packaging of SUGAR Cosmetics. The kajal comes in an abstract sleek & long card box suitable to store a pencil. The colored kajal has multi faceted packaging. The tip part of the kajal is blue colored describing it’s shade. To give your hands a firm grip of the product for precise application, there is a matte black band from where you are supposed to hold the kajal to apply it. Rest of the stick is black & shiny with a dark blue colored twister at the end to open & close the product out of the stick. Logo of SUGAR, shade name & number are printed on the cardbox as well as on the stick.
Variants
There are only two shades available in this range.
- 01 Black Velvet – Black
- 02 Still Got The Blues- Dark Blue
Shade- 02 Still Got The Blues
As the name suggests this is a pretty blue shade. Dark Blue to be precise. This is a versatile shade, to suit all the skin tones & eye colors. The shade does not have any shimmers & sets off in semi matte finish.
Texture & Smell
The texture of the kajal is very creamy & smooth. It is easy to be worn on the eyes be it water line or lash line. Actually it is too creamy that it breaks off. I mostly break it whenever I wear it. Also I just can not maintain the tip of the kajal due to it’s creamy consistency. There is practically no smell out of this smell.
Pigmentation
It is decently pigmented. And the pigmentation is buildable too because of it’s creamy consistency. I need 2 swipes at max to get the desired color pay off. The final finish is semi matte which can be converted into matte by applying powder eye shadow over it.
Longevity
I have worn this kajal on my eyes for 6-7 hours at a stretch. I have oily eye lids and I also wear eye cream. I generally wear a primer before applying a liner, so that the color lasts for long hours. This kajal also stays for long on my eyes. The liner on my lash line stays intact for 6-7 hours, while on my water line, it stays for 4-5 hours after which it smudges little bit. If I apply a powder eye shadow over it, the color stays intact for long hours.
Summary : 4.5/5
Overall, I like this colored stick because of its creamy texture, nice color pay off & affordability. The retractable packaging is a bonus. But I have to be really careful while applying it, as it breaks off easily because of its creamy texture. I think this is a good grab for those quick mornings when you don’t have much time to get ready.
