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.

GOLDEN ROSE dip liner liquid eyeliner review

Well, here I am with a review post again. willing to fill up my make-up bag with some new products so before that I hope to review each product in it.

Today I chose this Golden Rose dip liner liquid eyeliner. It's not a one of a popular branded ones. Though I found some reviews about it. I never used a product from this brand before. But It's not about the brand everytime.

"This liquid eyeliner is easily applicable with its practical brush. Creates deep and mysterious gaze with its rich color, lasting and fast dry texture."

This is how website discribe it. But I can't accept it completely. I tell you why.

I bought this at Ansar gallery in Citycentre mall over a year ago when I was on a visit to Doha.I couldn't remember the price. But it was somewhat cheap comparing to other popular brand eyeliners.

I used to pencil eyeliners and this was the first dip eyeliner I ever bought. Frankly I am not an eye liner pro, still a learner I am. I may erase, wash, redraw several times while using an eye liner. so this Golden Rose eye liner's fading and washable quality is so helping me to learn to draw nearly perfect eyeliner. Yes, it is fading so quickly . And you can rub it off easily too. Obviously it doesn't suit for long make-up days. But as a newbie its almost not a problem for me. I will tell you more about this little dip liner.

☆It's a very tiny bottle with a brush in long easy to hold tailed like lid.

☆the brush in it gives the fine lines and you can easily draw your desired eyeliner.

☆Liquid type. Dark black stain. Dry quickly. Fade off so easily. Long lasting power depending on you. It will stay until you rub/wipe your eyes or you wash it off. This is the reason I couldn't accept what website claims. Though it's fading quality not at all a problem for me, it's a disadvantage. However we all love eyeliners with long staying without smudge and fading off.

☆Only for eyeliner. Never for waterline. Never for the inner part of the eyes. not even a bit. I accidently applied a bit on upper inner line and its kinda burning. Scary... But if handled properly nothing to worry.

☆cheap. Handy. Good for beginners.

Finally....
It's an OK product for me. Not so good or not so bad. If you need to practice to draw a perfect eyeliner. This is for you. You can wipe it with a tissue and redraw until you get it right. But if your a makeup pro or you need an eyeliner that stay for long. then forget this. This is certainly not for you.

I am kinda get bored to see this in my makeup bag everyday. And I think I enough practicing with this. So next time I rather go to Maybelline or L'oreal Paris for thier staying power. If your already using them. Share your thoughts with me. So I can decide to by this or that.

Oriflame very my No Time for Shine powder

__"Shiny skin is a thing of the past. Mattifying formula absorbs oil and keeps skin looking fresh when you need it. Conceals imperfections without hiding your natural skin tone. Perfect alone or paired with Very Me Cover Up Concealer."__
This is what company claims about Very Me No Time for Shine powder. I was editing this review post for months and never got to finish this. Finally I managed to post this today. Sometimes I really wonder How those mummy bloggers doing all that stuffs. Hope I will learn that trick one day. LOL!!
OK, now I will tell you about this product.

Girls who doesn't like that much of make-up would love this.But we need to keep on mind that this is not a foundation or blush. Its a powder.just a compact powder. So we couldn't expect much from it. But this No Time for Shine powder is not like usual powder. It's brighten up your face and no one ever know you applied something. It look so natural. If you want a natural make-up look this work well. I brush my face a bit after applying with the sponge to blend it more evenly.

I bought this on a special offer price. actual price is LKR949. It's already expired withing eight months since I bought this. So beware expire date If you planning to buy something on special offer..If not it can be use around more than a year.

It has two shades in this range. I have Matte Latte. The other one is Matte Light.

Why I love this?
Its quite cheap when compared to other expensive products. travel friendly. Doesn't take lot of space in my bag. Can be use for both fair and brownish skin types. I can say it because me and my sister used this and it goes well with our different skin types. Sorry for unclear photographs. But I hope you can get an idea how this powder blended on my and my sister's skin.

Why I hate this?
Staying power is very low. You have to touch up every few hours. So it doesn't suit for a long makeup day. You can wear it whenever you doesn't need lot of makeup. Other thing is it's packaging. Lid easily can removed. Everytime I open lid got remove. I hate it. And it has paraben in it's ingredients list. Yes! I started to take a look at ingredients. Because I don't need to take a risk of cancer. No! Not anyway. Thank to those who spreading awareness of parabens.

Though I love this very me No Time for Shine powder I will not buy it again nor recommend it to anyone because it has paraben in it. Other than that it's a good product.

I have few other Oriflame products to review. Before that let me know your favourite Oriflame products in comments.
