My take on this product:
Packaging: It comes in a twist up steel matte
packaging. Packaging is very similar to their lipstick range. All information
including usage tips, full ingredient list and number of shades available are
mentioned in the outer carton. I have never seen such a funky, colourful and
informative carton packaging. More than the product, I got interested in its
packaging. :p Shade name is mentioned on the bottom of the Kajal casing.
Pigmentation: I have the shade ‘Fern Green’ with
me from this range. I find it richly pigmented. It glides easily on my
waterline and shows up nicely with two swipes. It does not require much
layering thus would be liked by all. In the swatch picture, I have swatched
once and you can see how pigmented it is.
Shade: ‘Fern Green’ is able green Kajal toned
down forest green shade. If you are looking for one wearable green khol for
your eyes, do not miss this shade. It brightens any dull look instantly and
never looks gaudy or OTT. It is neither too bright nor too dull, I am a big fan
of such wearable green shades.
Texture & Finish: It has creamy texture owing to
presence of shea butter and loads of other carrier oils in it. But it sets into
semi matte finish. It is not as creamy as other twist up khols we have in
market that do never set. It glides effortlessly on my eyes. It does not sting
and has slight cooling effect due to presence of camphor. It would be a great
pick for people with sensitive eyes.
Staying Power: Staying power of this khol is way
better than any twist up khol in the market. Whenever I swipe multiple times,
it gets difficult for it to set and thus it smudges a bit. However, once it
sets I have it on my eyes for 4-5 hours easily. I could see traces of the green
shade on my eyes till evening. It does not smudge unevenly or does not make
eyes look messy with time.
Availability: Available at several online shopping
sites in India.
