Turquoise love! Review#2

Hello Fashionistas!

I was super duper excited about Maybelline's new launch this summer! Another addition to the Colossal range!Yes, I am talking about none other than THE COLOSSAL KOHL TURQUOISE!

MAYBELLINE CLAIMS:

First of its kind in India with 2 in 1 benefits of a Kohl and Eyeliner

• Go all out with glamorous eyes in the most exciting Colossal Kohl – Turquoise which LINES like a Kohl and DEFINES like a liner. Turquoise kohl is a refreshing twist on the conventional black kohl and a must have fashion and beauty accessory.
• Here’s why you’ll love it:
• · Provides 12 Hours of smudge-free turquoise intensity
• 
  
• · Color doesn’t smudge or fade
• 
  
• · Enriched with nourishing ingredients and Vitamin E to soothe the eye
• 
  
• · Features a unique tip that glides smoothly for even application
• 
  
• · 100% suitable for your eyes

• PRICE: INR .249/-

So, I bought one for myself( FINALLY!) and here are some pictures!

MY EXPERIENCE: Okay, so this liner( is how I use it, I have still not tried it on my lower lash line!) is a beautiful turquoise coloured  stick with undertones of green! What I really love about this is that it is a beautiful metallic blue and does not really contain chunky glitter particles! It looks beautifully metallic on the eyes and is great and bright for summers! It is quite pocket friendly( Though I wonder why it is INR 100 HIGHER THAN THE BLACK COLOSSAL!) I am a big, BIG fan of eyeliners, and this colour just adds up to my collection of personal favourites! HOWEVER, it is not as smooth as LAKME EYECONIC RANGE KAJALS and despite this, is quite easily breakable! Otherthan these two, it has an amazinggg colour payoff, and lasts pretty long!( umm ....not  12 hours though as it claims!)

What I really like about this is is PACKAGING! Its beautifuuly refreshing with lovely metallic letters and writing, infact its the best packaging till date of any kajal I have used!

Also Maybelline now attaches a silver holograph with NO.1 MAKEUP BRAND written on it( look closely in the picture above!) and I love it because its difficult to replicate and one can be quite sure that it is authentic!

SO TO SUM IT UP,

PROS:

1. AMAZINGGG PACKAGING!

2. GREAT TURQUOISE COLOUR!

3. QUITE POCKET FRIENDLY!

4.GOOD COLOUR PAYOFF!

5.SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TONES!

CONS:

1. NOT VERY SMOOTH

2. EASILY BREAKABLE!

3.NOT RECOMMENDED FOR VERY SMALL EYES!( IT MAKES THEM LOOK EVEN SMALLER!)

RATING: 4/5

CHEAT SHEET: IT IS A DUPE OF THE NEWLY LAUNCHED L'OREAL SUPER LINER GELMATIC IN TURQUOISE! 

YOU CANNOT MAKEOUT THE DIFFERENCE UNTIL YOU READ THE PRICE!( L'OREAL IS INR 425, WHAT?, SO MAYBELLINE WINS IN TERMS OF PRICE!)

•            
• MORE PROS THAN CONS? WELL, ISNT THAT GREAT?

            2. GREAT COLOURS!
            3. NEW VARIETY!
          4. BROWN KAAJAL EASIER TO WEAR THAN BLACK ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE DARKCIRCLES!
            5. IT DOES STAY FOR TEN HOURS!

CONS:

         2. CANNOT THINK OF ANY MORE!:P

RATING: 4.5/5

AND THE WINNER IS..
LAKME  EYECONIC GREY!( Love,LOVE IT AS AN EYELINER!)
