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.

VLCC Enchanting Eyes Kajal : Swatches & Review

Nisha Malik — Tue, 04 Apr 2017 07:53:05 +0000

Hi, Today I am going to talk about VLCC Enchanting Eyes Kajal in Black. Frankly, I do not buy much products from VLCC due to a very bad experience that I had few years ago. I bought VLCC Fruit Facial Kit which left me with horrible cystic acne which took months to clear out. After that horrendous experience, I never really bought any skin care product from VLCC. Few weeks back, my eyes, really stuck on the kajal form VLCC. I was like, okay, it’s not a skin care product, I can try it out, since I have already tested so many kajals from other brands like Lakme, Lotus, Loreal, Maybelline, Soiul tree, Faces etc. To put it’s review here on HOG, I bought it. Let me tell you what I feel about this kajal stick, which is affordable, easily available & usable to start with. About VLCC Enchanting Eyes Kajal VLCC promises, what you expect from a decent kajal. Intense black, smudge free, water proff & dermatoligically tested formula. You can acheive your daily look with this kajal or can go winged eyeliner or smokey eyes with few strokes of this black beauty. Price Rs. 199 for 0.3g. Buy here. Ingredients Packaging It comes enclosed in an very informative packaging. The outer packaging disguises of a girl with beautiful big eyes layered with eyeshadows & flaunting bold lips. At the back of the outer packaging, multiple eye looks have been printed which could be achieved using VLCC Enchanting Eyes. Ingredient list of the kajal is also provided at the back. The kajal comes in a retractable pencil form, so it is very easy to use & I think is quite practical packaging for a kajal. The kajal pencil is black colored with black long cap on it. VLCC Enchanting Eyes is printed on the kajal pencil. Texture & Smell The texture of the kajal is very smooth, so smooth that I have to be very careful while using it to avoid any breakage. I actually broke it’s tip, the very first time I used this kajal. After that I have been very careful. The kajal tip was pointed when I bought it, but kajal sticks does not stay very pointy when you use them. I can not really draw a winged eyeliner with this, but it delivers smooth application to my water line. The kajal is devoid of any kind of smell. Pigmentation The pigmentation of the kajal is very nice. One swipe gives very good color pay off. There is practically no tugging or pressure is required to achieve heavily kohl-ed eyes. I tried smudging it to test it’s smudge proof claim. I was able to smudge it initially but on my eyes it stayed intact when I follow these steps to apply kajal. Finish The finish of the kajal is matte & intense. It provides jet black color to eyes. I also line my upper lid with this kajal & it works perfectly. I have tried to achieve the smokey eye look too with this kajal, it was okay in that department. One must be swift to achieve the smokey look with this kajal. Though it fails to deliver nice winged lines, sine it lacks a pointed tip. Longevity Whenever I know I need it too stay for an entire day, I follow proper steps to wear a kajal. Those days, the jakahl stays intact and does not go anywhere, otherwise, it stays for 4-5 hours before started getting to deposit under my eyes which intensifies my dark circles. Likes Nice creamy formula. Gives smooth application. Intense color pay off. Jet black color. Stays for long on water line. No allergies noticed. Dislike The tip does not stay pointy once used. Summary: 4.5/5 VLCC Enchanting Eyes Kajal is a decent buy as it delivers nice black colour at affordable price which stays for long hours. The creamy formula ensures smooth application. Hope you liked the review. Let me know if you have used this kajal? Do you wonder, how to keep you kajal intact for an entire day? Read this. Love.
