LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL BLACK Review

I bought this LAKM E EYECONIC KAJAL after almost two years. I already reviewed H&M Solid Black Eyeliner and Golden rose dipliner which I being used. I usually don't buy any makeup or skincare products until I finished what I have already got. though I like to review every makeup products from all the brands I am afraid to buy them because I don't use makeup on daily basis. I don't know if I should mention this here. However I like to keep reviews on my used products so that I can look back on them and consider to buy them even after few years later.

you may hear a lot about LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL. But this is my version of review on this.

LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL BLACK

I've got LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL in Black. You also can find other colors on this range but black is my favorite and it goes well with every dress you wear. This KAJAL seems very promising as it claims 10 hours NO SMUDGE and WATERPROOF. I am not sure if this KAJAL completely works as it say. Because it Fades away when I rub or wash. This can be wash it off with soap and water but for safe side I use almond oil or olive oil as a makeup remover. some kajals and eyeliners cannot wipe away completely with almond or olive oil as they still leave some stain. But LAKME EYECONIC easily got removed completely. I dont know if this happens only with me because I've read many reviews telling how good this KAJAL is. Well, I have to say if comparing to the other kajals and eyeliners LAKME eyeconic doesn't smudge all over my eyes.  But it fades away.

What I like in LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL BLACK

• Doesn't smudge all over my eyes.
• Though its a kajal it look like an eyeliner pencil. which is very easy to use and I can control how dark and thick my eyeliner wanted to be.
• Achieve a smokey eye look easily.
  

What I dont like about LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL are

• Not completely Waterproof.
• Need to draw two three strokes. Otherwise it has a pale black stain.
• fades away soon. If I rub my eyes thoroughly with Kajal on my eyes it doesn't smudge but fades away.
  
  
  

  

  you can see one stroke is very pale. for dark black stain I drew several lines.

  
  
  
  

  

  After 45 minute I thoroughly rub it. one stroke line disappeared and other line almost fade away. if it take a little time to set in then 45 minute is more than enough. right?? and happily no smudge there.

  
  
  
  

  

  1st picture(left side) is after wash the lines with water and pat dry. you can see stains almost gone. second picture took after washing using soap.

  
  
  
  
• However only thing I am happy to buy this because it doesn't smudge like other kajals. I have to draw many times to get a darker look but I am happy that I can remove them all easily.
  
  If you are looking for a Smudge proof Kajal then this is for you. If you like darker stain with waterproof one then this is definitely not for you. comment below and tell me what is your favorite kajal or eyeliner.

Basics of DIY Hair Cut

Have you ever cut your hair by your self? Does that sound risky?? for me its not. I agree that if you want to do a particular hair cut then you should meet a professional. I too ran to a hairdresser once or twice for a haircut but every 3 months I trim and cut my hair alone. though I couldn't cut my hair or someone else's like a professional do, I am OK with a simple layered hair or U,V cut with some bangs which I pretty much doing well. 

I tried a long layered cut with my sister's hair by following step by step instructions in a ladies magazine. It came out perfect. but when I tried the same style with my hair, I found it bit difficult without a helper.

I watched many you tubers doing DIY haircut videos. some are awesome and some girls just chopping their hair as they wish. A proper hair cut is very important because it can change your whole appearance. so be patient and take lot of time as possible when Doing it alone. 

After practising over 4 years now I can do a simple hair cut alone. Cutting U or V cut is super easy for me and it gives an extra volume to my hair. and with some bangs it looks perfect. but If you afraid to do it by yourself don't ever try it. when you cutting your hair alone You should be confident and be ready to accept the outcome. 

As I mentioned I've go through a lot of you tube videos and articles about hair cutting before I started doing it alone. 
These are some basic Tips you will need when you cutting your hair alone. again to mention I am not a professional. I learned by practising and through experience. 

1. Have Time
   never cut hair in hurry. stay calm and be patience. don't do any thing else while hair cutting. concentrate on what your doing.
2. Plan
   plan how you going to cut hair. choosing a you tube video as a guide helps lot. And decide how much length you need. keep on mind when your hair dries it will look shorter.
3. cut in front of a mirror. and have a sharp scissor, layer knife, hair clips, hair wools, comb, and a spray bottle. If you can have a helper with you who basically have any knowledge about hair cuts or at least a person who can tell if your cutting evenly on both sides. if not have an extra mirror for back view. 
4. Every time cut a little hair at a time. and Do not ever cut a lot. because your hair look shorter when it dries. if you shorten your hair too much it will be more shorter when you tries to give a straight cut if in case your hair cut didn't came out well.. but if you cut carefully by following instructions there are no chances for mistakes.Check and measure the both sides to check if you cutting them in the same length. It will look bad when you didn't evenly cut on both sides. then your haircut will also look imperfect. 
5. Keep your hair wet with a spray bottle or cut your hair after a bath. Our hair will be thinner and longer when its wet. apply some argon oil or conditioner your hair to manage it easier.

Do not feel bad if you didn't get the look of your imagination. practise make everything perfect. I will share a you tube video I found sometimes ago which I think is easy and perfect way to trim my hair alone.

and this one is the easiest and informative step by step by step Video tutorial ever. 

 I used this method to trim my haircut which I had by a hairdresser 3 months ago. 

YouTube Video

I haven't had a worst hair cut by trying to cut my hair alone until now. if you too want to cut your hair alone try on your own risk. 
I know its very bad to not to add my own haircut pictures when I am talking so much about DIY haircut. But I'l do a picture tutorial on layer cut with a dummy or a model to show you how I am doing it. 
Hope you Like this post. Comment your views, and experiences in hair cutting.
Good Day to you!!

Little bit for Monsoon

Personally I'm not a person who thinks Rain is romantic. And not in interest in such filmy things during Rain. but I am not hating it either. Rather I can say Rain is relaxing,,, aaaaaannnnd Perfect for sleeping..

as I am now in middle east, Monsoon is not anyway here. But I have monsoon experience from my childhood. a bit hard season for skin and body. so thought to share some tips in general for monsoon.

• Drink water. to keep your skin and body healthy. ya I know it makes to be in the Bathroom often. but  your skin needs water to keep moisture. 
• choose hot Beverages than chilled soft drinks. cool drinks make you to go to bathroom soon than hot drinks. try if you not believe. anyway Having a cup of Hot COFFEE or Tea is most refreshing on rainy days.
• after bath dry your hair properly, apply moisturize lotion, and lip balm. I don't like to oil my hair on this season. so I prefer leave on conditioner to avoid dry hair. Not good to go with gels, creams, moose or hair styles on monsoon.keep your hair natural is the best way.
• wear a slipper or socks even at home. because the floor or tile may be cold these days. it can make cracks in your foots. or if you already having it'll be more painful to walking on the cold floor. better use an foot cream these days. 

Going Out

eeeewww.. Going out in monsoon is really annoying. if it is me I don't even keep my legs on the floor. but everyone can't avoid going out. you cannot predict when will the rain drop fall. So be ready.

• never forget to bring an Umbrella in your bag.
• Don't choose light color clothes which can spot mud or dirt soon.  choose dark color dresses instead.
  well if your schooling then no options. you may select a rain coat. I prefer to not to Expose on rainy days(actually not in any day) be sure to cover your self properly as a precaution in case you get wet. not a pleasure to see your undies over your clothes in a public bus. if it is, you have to face lots of unconfortables! what about a coat over your clothes or a stylish Raincoat.
  Here are few rainy day Outfits ideas from web..

• another thing you have to keep on mind is to carry an waterproof bag. such as leather. because there is lot of chances to get wet, even you carry an umbrella. so keep it on mind to keep your things from get wet.
• wear a pair of flip flop or flat shoes. can prevent you from slips, and easy to remove muds.
• avoid over make ups. go normal. rather than make ups, keep your mind on skin to prevent it from being dry.choose a good moisturize lotion. choose a good misturizing cream for your face. and a lip balm. don't forget them in your bag when you go out. better avoid foundation if it is necessary just go with a simple make up.foundation, Highlight your eyes with a pencil & waterproof mascara, and your lips with natural shades.
