Review - Lakme Eyeconic Kajal, MAybelline Gel Eyeliner and Coloressence Eye Pen

eyeconic, maybelline gel liner and coloressence pen

 As i Love applying kajal to every possible space in ma eyes i have been searching for a suitable smudge free and easy to use kajal. After using kajals of few brands (like colorbar intense kohl eyeliner and diana of london long wear eyeliner which were disasters)  i ended up in having my personal favorites. While most of the kajals ended up in making me look like a panda after 2 or 3 hours i got the best results from the above 3.here am going to review those 3 kajals.

Maybelline gel eyeliner

as you can see maybelline gel eyeline comes in a black carton which contains a brush and a tiiiny galss tube [its so tiny i wonder if it would last atleast 2-3 months :(  ] just one swipe  will give you that desired lines. but those with unsteady hands..donot come near  this product! this will give you a nightmare

Pros:

• do not smudge even if you have oily eyelids and watery eyes! what more would you wish for however applying a bit powder under eyelids before application of kajal will make your kajal last even much longer
• travel friendly- the brush comes with a plastic top and the glass tub comes with an aluminium cap. You can easliy carry it in your vanity bag
• can be applied on lower eyelid - unlike eyepens which wont work on lower eyelids, this product can be used to beautify your inner as well as outer eye.
• it has a very creamy texture which glided quite smoothly and dries quickly after application, very difficult to smudge
• matte finish- as this product is matte finish it doesnt give you a glossy liquid look those matte finish lovers are gonna absolutly love maybelline gel liner

cons

• a bit pricey- saw that the same product is available online at rs 375  but  i wanted to buy it after seeing a test piece .Being imported and marketted by Loreal india, it is priced at rs 410 for 2.8g. 
• even though it doesnt smudge after 3-4 hours you will find that it fades a little. This can be out ridden by applying a lil black eyeshadow on top of your kajal.

Lakme eyeconic Kajal

This is a product from Lakme eyeconic range. the kajal is a twit up pen and most travel friendly among the 3.

Pros

• i absolutely loved it! for rs 199 have to say the results were amazing. It has a more intense color (but not blackest black) if you want to get a jet black look you have to apply 2 swipes.
• do not smudge easily- the kajal stayed intact for 4-5 hours ( as i said i have bit oily lids and watery sensitive eyes) 
• donot irritate waterline- the best thing i loved about this product is that unlike most kajals it glides just smoothly on your water line . it does not cause burning or irritating sensation. just 2 swipes and you are all set to go.
• no fading- even if it smudges a lil, the color doesnt fade away or start to flake.it fades evenly

cons:

• 10 hr clim defnitly not true. even though it has amazing staying power have to stay the after 5 hours the kajal on your lower water line will completely dissapear( i dont know if this happens just wth ma eyes) i drew winged eye with eyeconic kajal thickly applied on ma inner rims and making wings and extending on outside with coloressence eye pen.By  eveing when i loouked at mirror what i saw was just the wings and kajal had vanished , hafta say i looked a bit funny then.
• Detail list of ingredients not specified
• tends to break if correct pressure is not applied

Coloressence eye pen

This was the first eye pen i used. I bought it just coz i got it at a lesser price  form coloressence stall while visting a fair.I Initially hated eye pens but after using this i forgot all abt those twist up pens and need to sharpen kajals.

 Pros:

• shiny black look- with just 1 swipe you will get that liquid glossy intense black line and dries almost instantly
• verry good staying power- though will start to fade a lil after a couple of washes the staying power is soo gud. i applied the product before going to college at morning and the lines created by this eye pen was still left there wen i left collge at evening ( i had used eyeconic kajal for inner rims and it had vanished completely )
• easy to use- you dont have to sit by drawing lines again and again in 1 swipe you can create either thin or thick lines

cons:

• not at all travel friendly- the pen have to be stored upside down all the time to prevent the tip from drying. so cant be kept inside your purse
• wnt smudge or flake but will fade a lil after 6 hrs an not completely water proof
• cant be used inside eyes. if you usethis eyepen you will have to use a good kajal for inner rims.

so in among above 3 its really hard to choose 1 so i mix up and use the products.Like applying eyeconic kajal on inner eyes and coloressence on lower eyelids or touching up with eye pen after applying maybelline gel liner to get a more intense look.
