MAYBELLINE COLOSSAL KAJAL

Hi everyone,

Today I am reviewing this amazing product by Maybelline THE COLOSSAL KAJAL.
PRICE : INR149
SHELF LIFE : 24 months 

It says it is enriched with Olive oil,Vitamin E,Vitamin C Derivatives and Conditioning Agents,Colossal kajal has deepest black pigments,a unique tip and exclusive color fix formula which gives smooth,intense black color that stays for up to 12 hours.The Colossal Kajal is opthalmologically tested and is suitable for contact lens wearers..


DIRECTIONS FOR USE : 



 Draw a neat black stroke along your your waterline.For more dramatic look,add a bold stroke on the upper lid.To remove use the Maybelline Eye & Lip Make-up Remover.


MY EXPERIENCE WITH MAYBELLINE COLOSSAL KAJAL

The first thing that I will mention is its amazing packaging which distinguishes it from all other kajals available in market.It comes in that cute yellow packaging.It is blacker than any other kohls that I have used till date.It has a very smooth texture.Ii says it stays for 12 hours but according to my experience it stays for 5 to 6 hours..The best thing which I think is colossal kajal is smudge free.The finish is matte which I love..With two or three swipes it gives me the darkest black shade to my eyes..It defines my eyes. :)

Top : multiple swipes
Bottom : one swipe

PROS 

1. Gives dark black color with multiple swipes
2. Matte finish
3. No irritation to eyes
4. Soft and smooth texture

CONS

1. A bit expensive according to quantity
2. Need 2 or 3 swipes for darkest black color

RATING : 4.5/5

FINAL VERDICT : I am in love with this kajal..I will keep buying it till I get a better kajal than this..I will surely tell every girl to atleast try this once..:)

THANKS :)

Himalaya Herbals Aloe and Cucumber Refreshing Moisturizer

Hi everyone,
I am reviewing a product for the first time,I hope I am able to give sufficient information about the product,so that it helps you to decide whether you want to but this product or not.
The products by Himalaya Herbals are available only in some of the Asian countries.So first you have to find out that are these available in your country on not.I am not a big fan of products by this company but recently an outlet of Himalaya herbals has been opened in a local market so I thought why not try some of its products.So I bought Aloe and Cucumber Refreshing moisturizer.

PRICE : INR80 for 100ml and INR140 for 200ml
SHELF LIFE : 3 years

It says it is for all skin types and has Aloe and Cucumber as its main ingredients.Aloe Vera moisturizes and soothes while Cucumber cools and invigorates,helping maintain your skin's moisture balance and leaving it soft,smooth and refreshed.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE :

Apply lotion gently all over the body,slowly massaging it in.Best used after bathing when your skin is most receptive to hydration.

My Experience with Himalaya Aloe and Cucumber Refreshing Moisturizer

It comes in a white colored bottle with a green flip top cap (which is same for almost all the products of Himalaya Herbals).The consistency of this lotion is very flowy which identifies that it is not that moisturizing.




As you apply this,it starts absorbing in your skin.



It has a very mild fragrance like that of cucumbers (which i really love :D ) It says it is for all skin types but i think it is good for oily skin but will not work for people who have dry skin like me.This product will not work in winters when it is super dry outside.I think it can work in summers.It does not contain SPF,which is another drawback.People with oily skin will like this product.

PROS :

1. Inexpensive
2. Mild and soothing smell
3.Travel friendly packaging
4. It has 80% herbal ingredients
5. Perfect for oily and combination skin as has light texture

CONS :

1. Will not work for dry skin
2. Does not give heavy moisturizing
3. You have to reapply it after small intervals
4. Does not contain SPF

RATING : 3.5/5

FINAL VERDICT : As I have dry skin it is not the best product for me,so I will not buy this again.But this will work for people with combination or oily skin. :)


THANKS :)
