Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream 13

Who is it for? Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream 13 is for those looking for an affordable matte finish lipstick that is not too bold.

Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream 13

 

Price:

It ranges from Rs 140-400 for 6.5 gram of product. It depends on the retailers.

 

 

My Experience with Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream 13:

Ever since I found this lippie I couldn’t resist myself from picking up more of these lipsticks. These lip creams come in a plastic tube with a black screw cap with a wand. Even though the tube appears to be transparent, the shade of the actual lip cream is a bit darker or lighter than the tube which makes choosing the shades a bit of a struggle.

 

 

Miss Claire carry shades in almost every color ranges. So every skin tone people can pick from this soft matte.  This shade, in particular, is my favorite and it is a soft color with a mix of pink, purple and brown. It is an amazing shade for daily wear. Miss Claire soft matte lip cream is said to be an exact dupe for Nyx soft matte lip cream which costs around 500-600 Rs.

 

Overall Performance 

These lip creams don’t dry out your lips or don’t stay heavy on lips.  These lip cream doesn’t set into matte immediately on application, it takes few minutes to set into the matte. It gives a nice color in two swipes. It does transfer a bit and fades with a meal. They stay on lips for about 3 to 4 hours and start fading from the center of the lips.

Miss Claire products don’t have testers in their stores and even the availability is a big issue for them. As the price is not mentioned on the product, retailers are open to set their own price margin so it may be found for very less price in the market and even for 400-500 in some insta store pages.

Would I Repurchase and Recommend?

I definitely recommend this product and I would repurchase this shade. Will be trying the order shades as well.

Colourpop Mama Ultra Matte Lipstick

Who is it for? Colourpop Mama Ultra Matte Lipstick is for those looking for a burnt orange liquid matte lipstick.

Colourpop Mama Ultra Matte Lipstick

 

 

Price:

6$ for 3.2 gram of product.

 

My Experience with Colourpop Mama Ultra Matte Lipstick

Shade:

Mama is a burnt orange shade which is perfect for fall season and summers. This shade suits all skin tone.

Packaging

The lipstick comes in a usual liquid lipstick packaging. The applicator has a doe foot shape which gives a precise application and makes the application fuss-free.

Texture

The lipstick has watery texture and it sets into matte in seconds on the application. The lipstick dries the lips on setting into a matte, so apply a thick layer of lip balm before applying the lipstick to prevent your lips from getting dry.

Experience

On setting into a matte, the lipstick feels powdery on the lips and it doesn’t move from the lips for the entire day. It is transfer proof, waterproof and kiss-proof. The lipstick stays on the lips for a good 8 to 10 hours without food and fades from the center on greasy food, but very little fades. If you want to reapply the lipstick, do not layer it up. Instead, remove the lipstick and reapply it.

Pigmentation

These lipsticks are super pigmented. So, It gives an opaque color in just one swipe. To avoid any mistakes, use a same color lip pencil (not necessary, but recommended).

Drying?

Ultra matte formulas are drying on the lips so it tends to emphasize the lip lines more over the day.

Overall Performance ?

Colourpop Ultra matte lipstick in the shade mama is a beautiful burnt orange shade which would suit all skin tone. The lipstick is waterproof, transfer-proof and doesn’t fade for 8 to 10 hours. It sets into matte in no time and is highly pigmented. One swipe of it gives opaque color. Colourpop is a cruelty-free brand.

Few cons about this are that, they are super drying. After few hours, I felt the lipstick getting crumbled.

Would I repurchase and recommend it?

This lipstick shade is a highly recommended once as it would suit all skin tone and I would definitely repurchase this if no other new orange shade gets launched in Color pop.

Mark and Spencer’s Nature’s Ingredient Coconut Hand Cream Review

Recently I had my visit to Marks & Spencer’s stores and when I was heading to the billing counter, I found their skin care products. Being a lover of Marks & Spencer’s wardrobe, I thought I should try their skin care products as well. And most importantly, it had Nature’s ingredient printed on it. So grabbed it!Finally sharing few thoughts about Mark and Spencer’s Coconut Hand Cream in this review.

Mark and Spencer’s Nature’s Ingredient Coconut Hand Cream Review

Basic Info About Mark and Spencer’s Coconut Hand Cream

The hand is one of those most neglected parts even after getting exposed to almost everything: water, soaps, detergents, etc.  Due to frequent contact with the environmental factors, they become dry and delicate which accelerates the process of aging. Pampering hands is also equally important as our face and body.

This cream is formulated for giving hands and nails a good hydration by leaving them soft and supple.

Price:

100ml for 299 Rs.

Sensitive skin alert?

No

 

Natural/organic/vegan:

No.

What does the brand claim about Mark and Spencer’s Nature’s Ingredient Coconut Hand Cream?

A moisturizing hand and nail cream enriched with extract of creamy coconut to hydrate even busiest hands that are prone to dryness and leave them soft and coconut scented.

 

How to use it:

Massage into hands paying attention particular attention to nails and cuticles.

Mark and Spencer’s Nature’s Ingredient Coconut Hand Cream Review 2

My experience with Mark and Spencer’s Coconut Hand Cream

I have desert dry hands. Hand creams are one such product that always lay in my handbag like lip balm. But the fact I hated about hand cream is, they make hands greasy and you can’t do anything after you apply them. So the only time you can use it is just before you go to bed. But after I bought this cream, I can’t thank myself enough for using my brain to pick this product. The cream gets absorbed into the skin, once you massage it and the moisture is locked inside and all you have is that soft supple, coconut scented hands. I love coconut scented skin care and this one smells amazing. I couldn’t myself from sniffing the product. The cream is in a tube packaging so its bit hard to be carried in small handbags or purse.  Marks & Spencer’s hand creams are available in interesting variants (they all smell good) so you can definitely find one according to your preferences. I would love trying all the variants super soon.

Like other hand creams, this cream also should be applied often. The cream is lightweight in texture and it is a gel in a lotion formulation which helps it to get absorbed into the skin easier with making it feel greasy.

Mark and Spencer’s Nature’s Ingredient Coconut Hand Cream Review 3

Pros and Cons of Mark and Spencer’s Coconut Hand Cream

Pros

  • Lightweight cream.
  • Creamy coconut fragrance.
  • Gets absorbed into the skin easily.
  • Affordable
  • Many variants to choose from.

Overall would I repurchase and recommend:

Definitely, I would repurchase it and I want to try other variants in this cream as well.

Nivea Night Whitening Body Lotion Review

Hello everyone,

Skin tanning is one of those unavoidable skin issue faced by most of the girls. Thanks to our hotty hot climate. Even after investing in sunscreens, skin tanning still becomes our friend (enemy!!) in no time. So regular skin care is highly important both in the daytime and very important at night time because our skin undergoes a huge reconstruction at night.

When markets are been flooded with all skin care products for face and body being neglected most of the time, this product sounded interesting and exciting to me. This review is about Nivea Lotion: The Nivea Whitening Body Lotion.

Nivea Night Whitening Body Lotion Review

Basic Info About Nivea Lotion: The Night Whitening Body Lotion

Nivea night whitening body lotion is for people who are in need for some product to give them a realistic tan-free skin. It is basically a lotion with some melanin controlling ingredients which promises us to give a moisturized and even-toned skin.

Price:

This is priced at Rs 249/- for 200 ml of product.

Sensitive skin alert?

No

Nivea Night Whitening Body Lotion Review 1

Natural/organic/vegan:

No. but said to have few natural ingredient extracts.

What does the brand claim about Nivea Night Whitening Body Lotion?

Day-long exposure to the sun darkens the skin and the harsh external environment leaves it dehydrated. Nivea night whitening body lotion moisturizes the skin with male control and vitamin E. And on repeat use, it provides moisturized skin and even skin tone as it works on your skin for the entire night.

Nivea Night Whitening Body Lotion Review 2

How to use it:

Take a desired amount of lotion on to your palm and massage it all over your body.

My experience with Nivea Lotion: The Night Whitening Body Lotion

Due to lack of knowledge in skin care, I had a very deep tanned skin and after lots of effort to get rid of tanning, I was able to remove tanning to some extent but not completely. I was very excited when I found this product as it was a dream come true product for me. I included this in my night skin care and used it religiously. I have almost finished more than half of the bottle now.

The lotion is lightweight and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on the skin. It gets quickly absorbed into the skin without much effort. It has a mild fruity smell and is very soothing without causing any trouble for people with a sensitive nose like me.

On talking about the claims, the lotion may work on light and newly tanned skin and doesn’t show any result on moderate to the deeply tanned skin. I used it for a while regularly but ended up in big disappointment. It didn’t lighten up even a shade. SADLY! But I like to light moisturizing effect of this lotion.

Nivea Night Whitening Body Lotion Review 3

Overall Performance of Nivea Lotion: The Night Whitening Body Lotion

Positives

  • Affordable
  • Light moisturizer.
  • Fruity scented.
  • Gives moisturized skin without making the skin greasy.
  • Noncomedogenic.
  • Contains Vitamin E.

Negatives 

  • Doesn’t stick to lightening claims.
  • Smaller size bottles have flap cap dispenser, so we don’t have control over the amount of product dispensed.

Overall would I repurchase and recommend:

I have kind of negative review about this product in terms of its claims and it works well as a moisturizer so I may repurchase it.

3.5/5

It is one of the most comfortable lip balms I have tried, which is very suitable to wear under the lipstick. It doesn’t make your lipstick slip. The lip balm moisturizes the lips quite well and the lip balm stays for a good amount of time, for around 3 to 4 hours without any meal. It completely heals my chapped and cracked lips in no time.

Patisserie De Bain Sugared Violet Hand Cream

Hello my lovely people,

I recently hauled a couple of products from bathitup. My eyes were around strawberries, cherries and then products for body, shower, blah, blah. As usual, I wasn’t concentrating anything for hands. Then I saw this range and I wanted to buy something from this as I liked the name and the packaging color was beautiful. As I have mentioned in my previous posts. I have very dry hands and hand cream is a must in my routine.

I added this to my cart and at the same time, I could see some hand creams popping as recommended products that too, in some of my favorite fragrances because nobody wants to regret the purchase.  #TIG :P .

But the moment I received it, I checked this product first as I was somehow sure that the other products will be ok. And this product just slapped my face (nose) with its fragrance and asked me to shut up, the moment I checked out its fragrance. I generally love baby care products and this hand cream smells like one to me.

Patisserie De Bain Sugared Violet Hand Cream 1

Basic info about Patisserie de Bain Sugared Violet Hand Cream

Price:

It is priced at Rs 475 for 50 ml of product.Easily Available on Bathitup.com .

Patisserie De Bain Sugared Violet Hand Cream 2

Brand claims:

If you like your hands silky smooth and sweet-smelling then you’ve come to the right place! Our hand creams are rich in moisturizing glycerine to keep your hands in tip-top condition with the added bonus of our delectable sweet scents. Sugared Violet is our favorite to take a journey into memories of childhood sweets, fun, and frolics. Make sure your hands stay sweet all day long with a cute handy tube, ideal for popping in your handbag, keeping in your desk drawer or stashing in your car.

Patisserie De Bain Sugared Violet Hand Cream 4

Directions of Use

Flip the lid of this handy tube and squeeze out a dash of the nourishing, glycerine-rich hand cream. Massage gently into your hands paying special attention to dry patches such as knuckles, in between fingers and cuticles. You hand will love the nourishing glycerine and your senses will adore the sweet scent – just remember, you can’t eat your hands, no matter how scrummy they smell!

My Experience with Patisserie De Bain Sugared Violet Hand Cream

Patisserie De Bain Sugared Violet Hand Cream 5

As I said, the packaging of all the Patisserie de Bain products is cute. This hand cream is small and tiny which would easily fit inside your handbag. As the other products, this hand cream also comes in a tube packaging with a flip cap.

The cream is a baby blue colored thick cream. A pea size amount would be sufficient which makes the product last longer. The product is quite thick and on massaging for a good 20-30 seconds, it gets absorbed into the skin and you are left with soft and smooth hands. The cream doesn’t make the hands greasy which doesn’t become a hindrance for our works.  I had been using the cream for a couple of days and I could see my hands becoming much smoother without feeling dry more often.

The moisturization tends to last for a good 3 to 4 hours when the hands don’t come in contact with the thing around. Even with regular works, the skin doesn’t feel dry and dehydrated even after the cream washes off. The cream contains shea butter and glycerine which are known for its moisturizing properties.  The fragrance of the cream lasts really long when compared to the shower gel and the body lotion. The fragrance is very subtle and soothing so it is very convenient to use and this cream can be used by all the skin types as it doesn’t make your hands greasy.

Using the cream at night time and leaving it overnight would definitely help in rocking the day with your smoother and baby soft hands.

Patisserie De Bain Sugared Violet Hand Cream

Overall Performance by Patisserie De Bain Sugared Violet Hand Cream

Pros:

  • Smells amazing
  • Travel-friendly size.
  • Cute packaging.
  • The tube last longer as pea size amount is only required.
  • Moisturization last long.
  • Contains glycerine and shea butter.
  • No harmful ingredients as such
  • Suits every skin type.
  • Doesn’t make skin greasy

Cons:

  • Expensive

Would I repurchase or recommend?

Yes, I would definitely recommend this product for its fragrance and it does a good job by providing good moisturization for a really good time. Who doesn’t love soft, smooth and sweet smelling hands all day long?!

Organic Harvest Neem Tulsi Toner 1

Organic Harvest Neem Tulsi Toner Review

by Shiny Jenifer

A regular skin care regime is a must to have a toner. Toner plays a very crucial role in our regime so picking one according to our skin type is very important. I recently encountered a toner from this brand called organic harvest which had a toner for my oily to combination skin. Organic Harvest said to be an organic brand has natural key ingredients in its products.

This toner is packed with Neem and tulsi which is highly beneficial for oily skin and for preventing pimples and other skin related problems.

This review is about Organic Harvest Neem Tulsi Toner.

Organic Harvest Neem Tulsi Toner 2

Basic Info about the Organic Harvest Neem Tulsi Toner

Oil free and alcohol free toner with Neem and tulsi where Neem has antiviral, antifungal, antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. This toner is best suitable for oily skin people and people with skin problems.

This toner is free from parabens, mineral oils and animal ingredients.

Organic Harvest Neem Tulsi Toner 4

Price:

Rs 345 for 100 ml of product.

Brand claim:

This toner carries Neem and tulsi which are known for its skin caring benefits. This is a toner enriched with goodness of Neem and Tulsi, heavenly remedies for any type of skin. It’s unique oil-free and alcohol-free formulation will give your skin a natural glow.

How to use it:

Use it in the morning and evening after cleansing. Press gently into skin with cotton pad or fingertips. Follow it up with lotion or cream.

Organic Harvest Neem Tulsi Toner 1

My experience with Organic harvest Neem Tulsi toner:

The product comes in a white bottle with a pump. The toner is dark green colour.  My skin changes from combinational to normal depending on the climate and it’s prone to acne. I have been using this for few weeks now. I picked this up for its nature claim. This has a strong smell and helps in neutralizing the oiliness of the skin. I used this every morning and evening regularly.

Organic Harvest Neem Tulsi Toner 3

Talking about the acne issue, this helped my skin from getting new pimples and reduced my existing acne. The toner is slightly thick in consistency (kind of gel) when compared with the other toners I have used in the past. The thick consistency of the toner makes the skin feel moisturized on toning. The toner doesn’t dry out the skin instead removes the oil from the face and makes the skin feel hydrated and soft. The toner can make you feel as if a thin film exists on the skin, but not a big concern if you are happy with the skin feeling moisturized and oil free. The toner has a strong smell, which stays on the skin for few minutes and fades on time. But for people with very sensitive nose this might be a con.

During winters my skin was becoming dry when I use this toner. My skin naturally dried out a bit more during winters. But for very oily skin, I think it would benefit a lot and for dry skin people it will dry out the skin.

Organic Harvest Neem Tulsi Toner

Overall Performance of Organic Harvest Neem Tulsi Toner

Positives

  • Helps in reducing oiliness.
  • Helps with existing acne.
  • Prevents new acne.
  • Organic
  • Neem and tulsi helps in skin ailments.
  • Cruelty free.
  • Prevents skin from getting oily over the day.
  • Pump packaging.
  • Skin feels moisturized.

Negatives

  • Strong smell.
  • For combinational skin, it dries the skin after few days.

Would I repurchase and recommend:

I would prefer buying this toner during summers as I said this toner dries out my skin during winters. Other than that this toner is great for acne prone skin and people with oily skin. So I highly recommend it.

Maybelline Lasting Drama by Eyestudio Waterproof Gel Pencil Lustrous Sapphire

Hello beautiful ladies,

Maybelline has again gobbled up my pocket money :cry. There are few more awesome new launches in the market by Maybelline again. This review is about one of the new launch product, Maybelline Lasting Drama by Eyestudio Waterproof Gel Pencil in the shade Lustrous Sapphire. Blue eyeliners are my favorites and this eyeliner is sooooo….get to know in the review.

Let’s started with the review  :)

Maybelline Lasting Drama by Eyestudio Waterproof Gel Pencil Lustrous Sapphire

Basic Info About Maybelline Lasting Drama by Eyestudio Waterproof Gel Pencil Lustrous Sapphire

Brand claims:

Maybelline Lasting Drama by Eyestudio Waterproof Gel Pencil in a gel formula gives an intense color with an ultra-smooth glide stroke which lasts up to 16 hours. These pencils are waterproof, water resistant and don’t smudge.

Maybelline Lasting Drama by Eyestudio Waterproof Gel Pencil Lustrous Sapphire 2

Price:

It is priced at Rs 499 for 1.1 gram of product.

Application tip:

  1. Apply lasting drama pencil over along the upper lash line.
  2. For added drama, line lower lash line.

Maybelline Lasting Drama by Eyestudio Waterproof Gel Pencil Lustrous Sapphire 3

My Experience With Maybelline Lasting Drama by Eyestudio Waterproof Gel Pencil Lustrous Sapphire

I have been experimenting with colored kajal and eyeliner recently. I have used the colossal colored kajal from Maybelline which I quite liked. When I heard the launch of these awesome babies, I couldn’t resist. These babies are launched in 9 different shades and lustrous sapphire is my favorite. The emerald green one is also awesome, though.

This liner is a gel in a pencil form, all you need is a single swipe to get the intense color and rock your look. The application is very smooth so you don’t have to tug your skin. But the only con I found was the liner needs sharpening and sharpening the pencil leads to product wastage, but can’t help, sadly.

The main parameters that are on the checklist of a kajal or eyeliners are pigmentation, longevity, smudge proof, waterproof and water resistant.  Let me talk you through each parameter and rate them individually.

Pigmentation:

The color of the liner is the exact same as the pencil. All you need is a just one swipe of it so without any rambling, it gets 5/5 for pigmentation.

Longevity:

I have very watery eyes, so no kajal stays on my waterline for more than 2 hours. But to my surprise, these lasted for around 4 to 5 hours. Even though 16 hours claim is not met. So this gets 4.5/5 as it didn’t stand to its claim.

Smudgeproof:

On application, this gets smudged if you rub it or smudge it. After few seconds the liner gets dried and after that, no matter what, it stays without smudging throughout. This gets 5/5.

Waterproof/water resistance:

For people with water eyes like me, this liner is a must have. This doesn’t wear off with water, even if you wash your face which gets a big thumbs up. The eyeliner doesn’t fade off on washing with water. But it does fade if you rub really hard, which nobody does on the eye area. So it passes this test as well.

Overall Performance of Maybelline Lasting Drama by Eyestudio Waterproof Gel Pencil Lustrous Sapphire

Pros:

  • The liner is highly pigmented.
  • It lasts for the really good amount of time.
  • It doesn’t smudge.
  • Water resistant.

Cons:

  • Little expensive. 300 to 400 price range would have made the product much affordable.
  • Sharpening is needed.
  • Sharpener is not provided with the pencil

But these cons are not much of a concern when compared to the quality of the product.

 

Would I Repurchase Or Recommend?

Yes yes yes! These liners are super awesome. The colors are beautiful and they are long lasting, etc. they have everything. So highly recommend it and I would definitely repurchase this even if I try out the other colors in this range because blue is my favorite. Even if you don’t prefer color liners, you can try the black one in the range.

Colourpop Ultra Satin Lipstick Calypso 6

Hello everyone,

Colourpop needs no introduction for their awesomeness. Even though the matte lipstick game is still on, they are very drying on the lips. Colourpop has 3 different formulas and satin is my favorite out of all, not only for me but for many of those who have tried. This review is about Colourpop ultra satin lipstick in the shade calypso.

Colourpop Ultra Satin Lipstick Calypso 2

Basic Info about the Colourpop Ultra Satin Lipstick Calypso

The package doesn’t carry any information as such but they claimed to give full flush color with their non-drying formula. Colourpop was born, raised and made with love in the city of Angels. We test our products in every possible without affecting the animals. Trends come and go, so it’s super important to us that you can keep up with this ever-changing industry without breaking the bank.

Colourpop Ultra Satin Lipstick Calypso Review

The packaging of the ultra satin lipstick is same as the ultra matte ones. They are priced for $6.

Colourpop Ultra Satin Lipstick Calypso 3

My Experience with Colourpop Ultra Satin Lipstick Calypso

Summers are already there and oranges and peaches are some of my go-to shades for this season. So, I had to pick this shade. Even though I prefer matte lipsticks most of the time, they are very drying on the lips and during summers, drying is something that needs no explanation. The product comes in a plastic transparent tube with a silver screw cap which has a wand attached. It comes with a doe foot applicator which works great for precise application. Even if you have thin lips, you are going to love these.

Colourpop Ultra Satin Lipstick Calypso 4

These satin formula lipsticks are so comfortable on the lips and it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy at all. They don’t set into matte but when worn for a long time, the gloss vanishes and makes it feel matte.  The lipsticks are quite pigmented and these formulas do have so many color variants.

As like the ultra matte lipsticks, they don’t dry matte, so they tend to smear all over after application if you rub your lips accidently. They transfer a lot but still the lipstick is highly pigmented, so the lipstick doesn’t fade away completely. It leaves decent amount pigmentation on the lips. Using a lip liner is always recommended under these lipsticks.

 

Colourpop Ultra Satin Lipstick Calypso 5

Overall Performance of Colourpop Ultra Satin Lipstick Calypso

This shade is described as mid-tone pink by the website. But the lipstick has a hint of peach in it as well. The lipstick looks amazing on people with fair to medium skin tone. I belong to the group of people with medium to duskier skin and I have pigmented lips. This shade looks little pale on me but I’m ok with it. But for people with a tone or two deeper than me, this shade will wash out. This shade is an everyday kind of shade and looks very flattering with any kind of makeup and outfit.

These lipsticks have a good staying time of about 7 to 8 hours and it does fade little over a meal and over a greasy meal it will fade away more.

These lipsticks feel very smooth and have a mousse texture (I personally feel) and I love these lipsticks for their formula. One of the best formulas I have ever tried.  As I said, when these lipsticks are worn for a long time, the shine of the lipstick fades.  I personally felt that these lipsticks have a bit of oil in this range which actually gives that smooth texture. They do not sit on fine lines or emphasise the lines much like the ultra-mattes.

These lipsticks are very easy to remove, compared to the ultra matte one which actually feels like killing your lips at times while removing.

Would I Repurchase Or Recommend?

Yes! This shade is very amazing and I will highly recommend for people with fair to medium skin tone to try this one.

akme Insta Liner Water Resistant Eyeliner

Hello beautiful people,

Eyeliners and kajal are one of the very first makeup products that everyone invests in. They are one such thing which takes your entire look, be it heavy makeup or a simple daily look, to an entirely different level.

This review is about one of the products that would have been the first purchase in many makeup kits! The Lakme insta-liner water-resistant eyeliner.

Basic Info about Lakme Insta Liner Water Resistant Eyeliner

Price:

This is priced at Rs 110 for 9 ml of product.

Brand claim:

It is said to be water-resistant eyeliner. Not much information given on the package  !.

My Experience with Lakme Insta Liner Water Resistant Eyeliner:

Even though this is one of the very old products out there in the market, I never had the guts to try the liquid liners. I wasn’t familiar with them. So to get familiarized with the liquid liners, I was in search of some affordable and trusted brands.When I found this, the next moment it was right there in my vanity.

I have seen many people using this product for ages.This product comes in a glass bottle with a thin brush in the wand for the application. The length of the wand is very comfortable to use and the application is controllable. The consistency of the liner is not too runny or thick. On prolonged usage, the liner becomes thick, like nail polish. The other important thing to consider while purchasing this product is the brush. Brushes in some eye liners have uneven bristles which will never help in getting an even line. Check the brushes before buying the product!! J

Overall Performance of Lakme Insta Liner Water Resistant Eyeliner:

I have been using this liner for a long time and being a liquid liner beginner, it helps in précised application as its brush is thin. The application is also easy controllable. The liner claims to be water resistant but when I just splash some water on my face, I got Racoon eyes. Sadly, it is not water resistant.

The liner takes ages to dry and it gets smudged all over if it is not dried. So it needs a lot of time of time to get dry.

I sit for around 5-7 minutes for it to get dried so that it don’t transfer all over my eyelids and make me redo my entire eye makeup.

The liner is quite dark and opaque so it is very convenient and you don’t have go over the liner with many coats.

Even though I won’t say it is jet black, but for its price and the quantity we get, the consistency and quality are good. It stays on the eye lids without cracking or fading for around 4 to 5 hours. That is only if you don’t sweat or if you didn’t cry. : P

The liner dries out matte which is something I like. So if you want your eyeliner to look glossy, then this is not for you.

The package doesn’t carry any information about the ingredients.So you are not going to know what you are applying on your eyes. Don’t know whether people with sensitive eyes have any issues with this. If anyone experienced anything, please do let me know in the comment section!!

Would I Repurchase and Recommend:

May be not. Once I get familiarized with the liquid liners, I want to try liners from other brands. But for beginners, it is highly recommended. I tried the other brand liners which are in the affordable range but ended up hating them for some reasons like the brush doesn’t have good bristles or their bristles fall off and makes the application really horrible. If you are a beginner like me, go for this.There other liners available too , that you should check out! Street Wear Egyptian Blue Color Rich Liquid Eyeliner , the L’oreal Paris Super Liner Perfect Slim , Lakme Absolute Gel Addict Eyeliner , Coloressence InkStylo Eye Liner Pen Waterproof Extremely Slim etc
