Nisha Malik — Sun, 25 Jun 2017 14:05:05 +0000

An Indian girl adores her kohl, the jet black kohl. The one thing that she won’t leave her home without. A simple pencil can make so much difference in one’s appearance. Then how important is it to choose just the right, smudge free & the blackest kajal? It’s very important, no doubt. To help you make the right choice, I am going to talk about a wonderful brand and one of its wonderful product today, which happens to be a chemical free kajal – Plum Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal. Excited? Me too. It’s actually a wonderful kajal stick that comes with a smudger. Real handy, I know! So let’s dig into the details straight away. Plum Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal Plum offers a 100% natural 7 mineral pigmented kajal with a smudger to give you perfect kohled and smokey looks. The kajal is jet black offering high pigmentation while being free of dyes, preservatives & other chemicals. The kajal is enriched with jojoba oil, macadamia oil and soothing chamomile extracts to suit sensitive eyes while gliding smoothly on your eyes with it’s creamy & soft formula. Price Rs. 425 .

At one end there is a pointy color pigment (kohl) while at the other end, a nice smudger is fixed. The kohl end is covered with an opaque white cap while the smudger end is covered with a transparent plastic cap. The pencil is easy to carry & convenient to use. Plum logo and some information regarding the kajal has been printed in purple color. There is a black band just before the smudger end to indicate the color of the kajal. I actually got the Plum Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal in a combo offer with Plum Nature Studio All day Wear Kohl Kajal, hence got a sharpner as well as nice compact mirror with the deal from amazon. That deal is over now but, another deal is still running on Amazon. It offers a free bag & a sharpner with the kajals. Shade – True Black The color is beautiful black. It’s not matte but does not ultra glossy. Once smudged, the shine goes away. Fragrance & Texture As such, while applying the kajal, I do not smell anything out of it. Only if I really hard to smell the pencil, then there is a very faint sweet smell. it’s very mild. Texture wise, it is very smooth despite of not being ultra creamy. I actually like the fact that it is not ultra creamy since, the ultra creamy ones keep on breaking off every now and then. It does not break off and still glides on my water line & lash line very easily without hurting my eyes. Pigmentation It is a highly pigmented kajal. I really like the intense color pay off it gives. One swipe makes the difference. 2 swipes & that’s all you will ever want. Finish Initially if you are not using the smudger thing, your eyes will have a bit of intensity & shine, but if you opt for more subtle look or smokey eyes, you will get matte and rugged-in look. The texture of the kajal makes it easy to blend the color for a nice black hue. Longevity Plum Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal does not smudge once set for 4-5 hours. I swipe the smudger once or twice on my water line, or use a layer of powder to ensure the kajal stays smudge free for long hours. You can wear it for 4-5 hours in a row even if you have not used the smudger. But after that you might find bits of the kajal under your eye area nothing major though. Likes 100% Natural & free of dyes, preservative & chemicals. Nice black shade. Smooth texture. Contains Jojoba Oil, Macadamia oil and soothing Chamomile extracts, The smudger is very handy to ensure smudge free look (ironic, I know) Quality product. Does not irritate my eyes. Stays intact for 4-5 hours. Can be used as a simple kajal as well as to achieve smokey eyes. Affordable for the quality it offers. Plum offers Vegan products & does not believe in testing on animals. Dislikes It has to be sharpen. Summary: 5/5 Totally heart Plum Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal. I love the smooth texture, the intense color pay off , the price & the smudger attached at the end. It is one fabulous grab. On top of all, it is free of chemicals & safe to be used as a kajal, a liner or to achieve smokey eyes look. Such a multi purpose product. I am sure you, the kajal lover, must have got this. Tell me your experience. Don’t you love it? XOXO….

Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil In Teal : Swatches & Review

Nisha Malik — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 23:35:00 +0000

Hi Girls, up for another colored eye pencil? This one is Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil in Teal. Teal is a very wearable color specially on eyes. A true Teal shade looks amazing no matter how you wear it. I got this teal liner with Lotus Herbals Colorkick Kajal in Royal Blue & Mystic Green. Blue is an eccentric shade for eyes, but teal is mesmerizing. Faces offer this smudge proof, water proof & highly pigmented liner in 7 shades. The formula is soft, long wearing and free of paraffin & preservatives. The liner is tested Dermatoligiaclly & Ophthalmologically. Price Rs. 449 for 1.2gm. Buy here. Packaging It is a sharpable black pencil with teal colored cap & band at the bottom making it easy to distinguish between a pile of pencils. The features of the pencil are mentioned on the pencil, like It is smudge proof, water proof & stays for long on eyes. No sharpner is shipped with the pencil. The packaging is convenient if I ignore the sharpening effort. It is easily portable hence travel friendly. Fragrance & Texture It is a creamy & smooth gliding eye pencil. Goes on lash line & water line effortlessly, leaving behind a beautiful color, no tugging is required. As such no fragrance, but if I sniff the pencil tip there is some waxy smell, which is very mild. To have a perfect winged liner out of this, you need to sharpen it every time, because of it’s creamy texture it tends to loose it’s tip. Shades Faces brings 7 quirky shades of Long Wear Eye Pencil for you. Persian Blue, Electric, Smog, Teal, Plum, Olive, Smoke. Shade – Teal This is a bright Teal shade with bit of greenish hint & shin to it, which makes it hard to miss. It is a nice shade, but make sure you put on some concealer if you have dark eye lid or dark circles around your eyes to bring out the true beauty of this color. Pigmentation One swipe gives nice color pay off, and you can go on building more color by re-swiping the pencil without feeling sticky or flaky. This feature makes it a quality product. Longevity It is a smudge proof & water proof eye pencil as I have observed. It needs bit time to settle on my water line & then it stays intact for 5-6 hours, after which it starts loosing it’s intensity. On my lash line, it stays good for about 7-8 hours, as I have tested in the Delhi heat. That is commendable. To get rid of the color, I massage with baby oil around my eyes. Finish This is a bright shade & has a bit of shimmer which gives a vibrant finish. The shade really pops out eyes. It can also be doubled up as an eye shadow, as I was told by the SA. I have tried the same, & it definitely is doable. Likes Smooth & Creamy textured Eye pencil. Nice color pay off in single stroke. Does not smudge, flake or feel sticky. Water proof. Can be used on water line as well. Doubles up as eye shadow. Stays for about 7-8 hours on lash line while works perfectly for about 5-6 hours on water line. Does not irritate eyes. Travel friendly. Paraffin & preservative free. Dislikes Price is definitely on higher side if you buy it from some offline store. But it is available online on discount. Needs to be sharpened very frequently since to maintain it’s tip. I find sharpening very cumbersome. Summary : 4.5/5 Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil in Teal works as a kajal, liner & eye shadow. It is a bright & refreshing shade. The eye pencil is long wearing since it is smudge proof & water proof. The color pay off is also very good. Only the price is bit high & it needs to be sharpened frequently. Still, would love to try out more shades from the range. If you liked the post please share it across your social media 🙂 Love.

SUGAR Twist And Shout Fadeproof Kajal – 02 Still Got The Blues : Swatches & Review

Nisha Malik — Sat, 11 Mar 2017 00:01:02 +0000

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. Price Rs. 399 for 0.35gm. Buy here. Ingredients Mica, Ferric Ferrocyanide,Titanium Dioxide, Ultramarines, Iron Oxides Isododecane, Polyethylene, Synthetic Wax, Hydrogenated Polydicyclopentadiene, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer, Polybutene, Octyldodecanol, Perfluorononyl Dimethicone, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnama. 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.

SUGAR Stroke Of Genius Heavy Duty Kohl Back To Black 01 : Swatches & Review

Nisha Malik — Thu, 16 Feb 2017 08:47:53 +0000

Now this is some really heavy duty kohl or kajal as you may like to call it. I received it back in my January’s Fab Bag. Since then I have been using it. Whenever I feel like putting on some kajal I reach for this kohl. SUGAR is a new brand but have always impressed me with it’s products except the Lash Mob Mascara, that was not something I would rave about. I love it’s Liquid Lipsticks and the matte ones too. Every thing is just so perfectly & insanely pigmented and lasts long. Let me tell you why I skip my HG liner for years to wear this kohl. About SUGAR Stroke Of Genius Heavy Duty Kohl This is one of the most pigmented, creamy & smooth kohl I have ever used. SUGAR really nailed it this time. It gives the perfect black colour with just one swipe. SUGAR claims the formula to be wax based & waterproof hence no tugging rubbing or smudging for long hours. Price Rs. 499. Buy here. Ingredients Iron Oxides, Black 2, Mica, Ferric Ferrocyanide, Dimethicone, Synthetic Wax, Silica, Stearyl Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Trimethylsiloxysilicate/Dimethiconol Crosspolymer, Octadecene, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Isoceteth-10 Packaging It comes in a matte black pencil form with a black cap covering it’s mouth. The pencil is also shipped with a black coloured sharpener (made in Germany) since it is not a retractable pencil and needs to be sharpened very often. SUGAR’s logo is printed on the pencil in white colour also the kohl’s name & shade is printed horizontally. On the sharpener also, ‘SUGAR’ is embossed. The simplest packaging of all. Texture & Smell The kohl is very creamy and smooth since it is wax based formula. It glides on my water line and eye lid way too smoothly leaving intense colour behind. It surely is a stroke of genius. There is practically no smell out of the kohl. Shade – 01 Back To Black This is one of the blackest kohl I have ever used. The blackest black that I can ever ask for. Only one swipe and I find that intense colour on my lids/waterline. I wish SUGAR comes up with more shades with this formula. Pigmentation As I have mentioned above the piece is highly pigmented. I do not need another stroke, it’s that heavenly pigmented. I have tried layering up the products many times, but it does not alter the final finish. Finish The finish of this kohl is semi matte it’s not fully matte or fully glossy, it’s something in between, works for me. In case you desire to have a complete matte finish, you can dab a black matte eye shadow over it. Longevity It does stay for 7-8 hours without any smudge. Then I take it off. I have never worn it over 7-8 hours. The formula is waterproof but it is easy to take it off with my regular face wash and water. But I prefer removing my eye makeup with little baby oil. ** I have worn this kohl here. Likes Creamy & smooth texture. One swipe gives intense colour. The blackest black shade. Intense pigmentation. Does not smudge. Stays on eyes for long. Easy to take it off. Sleek packaging. Dislikes It needs to be sharpened with every use otherwise I can not draw precise lines. The sharpening leads to wastage of product which makes it little pricey. Summary : ❤❤❤❤❤ The blackest black and smooth textured kohl. This surely makes it a must have product for me. I used to love gel eye liners, but this is more convenient if I ignore the sharpening thing. SUGAR should come up with a retractable packaging with same formula and more shades.

My Budget Makeup Essentials

Nisha Malik — Tue, 22 Nov 2016 10:37:09 +0000

It’s going to be a quick post about the makeup products I use mostly everyday. All the products are budget products, easily available. Suit my and skin tone & type. I started wearing the Pond’s BB Cream about 3 years ago, and since then, it’s been with me. I like the natural finish it gives to my skin. Unlike Lakme’s CC cream, it does not give any white cast. Maybelline’s Super Fresh Compact is new addition to my vanity, but is really promising. Before this I used to wear Lakme 9 to 5 compact. I will review these two very soon. On good skin days, I like to wear some blush. Mostly it’s cheeky Glow, but winters are good to fluent creamy blushes too. City Color Cheeky Stain is a warm toned cream blush which I mostly prefer because of it’s natural finish. Cover Girl Lip Gloss was another budget find incidentally. It’s very beautiful every day wear shade. L’Oreal Paris Kajal Magique, was unintentional buy, but proved to be a good buy. Will try to review it soon. I don’t like high drama mascaras for daily wear. Maybelline’s The Falsies gives very natural looking eye lashes. I don’t know why but I am just so in love with this eye palette from Makeup Revolution. It has got versatile colors to give you awesome looks for day and night. I am just short on time today, otherwise would have added more stuff to the post. Gotta run some errands before the day ends. Let me know if you use the same products I do? Leave your comments. Love…
