Elle 18 Black Out Liner

Hello Friends!
As I am sitting in my room alone listening to romantic songs from the movie Murder 2, I thought why not to write another review of an inexpensive yet reliable product that I have been using since a long time!So read on to know my take on this product:






What the Company Says?
 Jet black and water-resistant eyeliner enriched with rose water to keep your eyes cool.

Price:Rs 65 for 5 ml.

My Take on Elle 18 Black Out Liner:
This was the first eye liner i had purchased when I was in Class 8.I had bought this for just Rs 25 then.After that several liners came in my life and left :p I had long stopped using this and had completely forgotten about it until recently I saw the new Elle 18 black out liner from color bomb range.Though I love using glossy eye liners, I prefer  using matte liners for daily use.Thus as I needed a matte waterproof liner for daywear at reasonable price, none other than this liner came into my mind.The new liner is much better than the old one both in packaging and quality wise.It gives real cooling and soothing effect when applied on upper lash line.It dries up in a jiffy leaving true matte finish.When I splashed water on my face, the liner remained intact thus passing the waterproof test, but when I smudged the liner, it faded failing the smudge proof test.Anyways at such reasonable price I don't have much expectations and would love to say that its a nice inexpensive budget friendly liner.Highly recommended to teenagers and people who want to purchase matte waterproof liner within budget.



Its Waterproof !


Its not smudge proof!
 Pros of Elle 18 Black Out Liner:

>Consistency of the liner is fine, neither too runny nor too thick.
>Dries up on lash line quickly leaving black matte finish.
>It has cooling and soothing effect on eyes.
>Contains rose water.
>Many liquid liners get thick and the brush becomes messy with time but I didn't face any such problem with this liner.(Old ones used to get thick)
>It doesn't get streaky at all.
>Inexpensive budget friendly liner.
>Its a waterproof liner.
>Attractive trendy packaging.
>The brush is suitable for drawing very thin lines to thick lines.
>Readily available at cosmetic and stationary shops.

Cons of Elle 18 Black Out Liner:
>Only black shade available, the old ones had jaded green, bronze and another metallic pink sort of shades.
>List of complete ingredients is no where mentioned.
>The applicator tip is a soft brush that doesn't help in lining my eyes, I wished it had felt tip applicator.
>People who are not accustomed to liquid liners would find it difficult to get even lines.
>Its not smudge proof. 
>The shade is not intense black that I desire.
>Increase in price from Rs 35 to Rs 65.

Will I Repurchase it? Yes it s a nice matte black liquid liner apt for daily wear.

Rating:3.75 out 5

My Overall Recommendation: I recommend this reasonable liner to teenagers, and all makeup lovers for everyday use.

Elle 18 Kajal

Hello Friends!
I am an ardent fan of kohls of all kinds since childhood.I cant skip using kohl even a single day.I have used kohls from several brands rather you can say almost all brands available in India! So I want to share my experience with Elle 18 kajal with all of you.
 
What the Company Says?
Elle18 presents Kajal with a rich and lustrous black color, it is enriched with almond oil.

Price: Rs 65

My Take on Elle 18 Kajal:

Elle 18 has revamped its entire range and has come out with some new products in their Color Bomb range.The kajal and eye liner were already there in the old range but the new ones I feel are much better quality wise with attractive eye catching package.I have used Kohl from Lotus, VLCC, Himalaya, Biotique, Blue Heaven, Lakme,Faces, Maybelline I like Lotus one a lot, even I like Lakme kohl ultimate and Maybelline Colossal kajal but they are less kohl like more liner kind.The best I felt was that of Faces one.

When I used Elle 18 kajal, I saw it was really pigmented with glossy finish.Its fragrance is similar to home made kajals.It doesn't smudge a lot and stays for 4-5 hours easily with slight smudging but no racoon eyes of course.For the price I am getting it, I would buy it again and again.






Pros of Elle 18 Kajal:

>This kohl is enriched with almond extracts.
>It has nice pleasant home made kajal like fragrance.
>Its really pigmented kajal,see the pics above.
>This kohl has nice glossy kind finish.
>Attractive cute packaging.
>Reasonable price when compared to other kohls.
>Staying power is 4-5 hours with slight smudging.
>Easily  available at cosmetic and stationary shops.
>No irritation when used on waterline.

Cons of Elle 18 Kajal:

>Its in stick form so with use , it will get blunt and it would be difficult to use.
>Not completely smudge proof kohl.( I don't expect that from a kohl though).

Rating: 4.25 out of 5

Will I repurchase it? May be, other than this kohl I liked Faces kajal a lot.So will buy that again.

My Overall Recommendation: This kohl is a must have for makeup beginners and kohl lovers.Its inexpensive and really good.
