Maybelline New York Colossal Kajal
Price: INR 150/-
My experince with this Kajal
The Kajal comes in a bright yellow twist open pen like
packaging, so you can always control the amount of nib you want to use for
application, and there are no hassles of sharpening it again and again. I like
how dark and gorgeous black color it imparts in a single swipe. If you want to
go more “colossal” with your eye-makeup you can always build this kajal up to
get the desired depth. The texture of this Kajal is very smooth and glides
easily on the waterline, as well as on the eyelid. I've used this kajal both on
waterline and as an eyeliner on my lids, and it has worked quite well both the
ways. If you want to create smoky effect, you need to smudge the kajal within
seconds of application, because once it is set, you'd have hard time budging it
off from its set position. It just sticks and doesn't move at all, which
impressed me a lot about its smudge-proof claim.
It is not waterproof, but doesn't spread here and there
either when comes in contact with water. Even after wearing it whole day in
current humid climatic conditions, all I get after 5-6 hours is a miniscule bit
of shadow below my natural Kajal line, which I can easily wipe off using a
clean Q-tip or even a wet tissue.
So, on that note check out some of the likes and dislikes
that I've felt about this Kajal below:
Likes:
1) Comes in a handy packaging with twist open nib for easy
application. Also its tube comes in bright yellow color so you can easily
identify it amongst the plethora of eyeliner pencils you might have in your
drawer.
2) The Kajal has ultra smooth texture and glides well.
3) It gives a gorgeous black color in one swipe itself and
you can easily build the depth as per your preference.
4) The thin nib gives better control over how much thickness
you want in your application.
5) It never stung my eyes, and feels comfortable after
wearing.
6) The Kajal sets within seconds of application and doesn't
budge, smudge or move anywhere at all. Absolutely love it for that!
7) I have experienced a good staying power of 5-6 hours from
this Kajal.
8) Quite inexpensive for the quantity and quality you get.
Dislikes:
1) It is not waterproof, though it doesn't go crazy either.
You just need to keep a clean tissue to wipe off any shadow that might come out
of this kajal while you enjoy and get drenched in monsoon rains outside.
2) Can't think of any other dislike.
Overall: I like
this Kajal for what it delivers – smudge-proof gorgeous black color. Even
though it is smudge-proof, it can easily be removed using any eye makeup
remover, and I don't need to make a fuss about it. Definitely recommended!
