| Just 1 swipe..before smudging |
 |
| After smudging..fades but still remains |
Pros:
1. Its jet black and one swipe gives a nice dark look.
2. Has cooling effect on the eyes.
3. It smudges less than other herbal kajals.
4. Its safe for contact lens wearers as I am also the one and does not sting at all.
5. The bullet tip stays as it is,even after months…and thats the biggest plus point of this kajal unlike the Shahnaz Hussain one which goes round and you get a super thick line which smudges all the more.
6. Economical and stays a long long time.
7. You can get it anywhere..even at normal pharmacy..so availability is never a problem.
8. Very easy to even tightline the eyes with it.
Cons:
1. The cap is small and can be misplaced..so one has to be careful..as without the cap the kajal would get contaminated and would be of no use.
2. Its not completely smudge proof as no kajal is..
Rating:
Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 5/5
Overall rating: 4.25/5
Would I buy it again: Yes..I would.
Now onto how to make your kajal stay longer on the eyes.
1. Apply a single layer of kajal and smudge it with your ring finger on the waterline..and then apply another single layer..this would help make it stay all day long.
Remember all kajals smudge..so the more thicker the layer..the more chances of getting raccoon eyes..I know many of us like the dark jet black look..but that will not stay longer and instead spread around eyes after some time.
2. After using kajal…you can set it with a black liquid liner on top…so that would lock the color in the eyes.
3. You can set it with a matte black eyeshadow..that would create a bridge in between..and it will absorb all the moisture from the eyes..making it stay longer.
4. Apply lots of loose powder or your compact around and under the eyes…as it would help keep the humidity and oils at bay and not smudging your kajal.
5. Use a primer on the lower lashline too if need be.
6. And if it smudges even after all this..carry Q tips and a cleanser or lacto calamine and just clean the area lightly.
7. Avoid using creams around the eye area before makeup as that would make it more messy.
And thats all…you can add some more tips of yours..I would love to hear it from you all.

Nice tips Bhumika! I have this kajal too but I dont use it too often because it doesnt last for too long on the waterline. Will try your tip now!
Heard very good reviews before. Now, your review makes me wonder if i should try this myself. Not a kajal person, I am more of a liquid liner person
hey, I have this kajal too, ya its so dark black, I just love it :), I actually wear my lakme 9 to 5 eyeliner in black,and over that I wear this one, It stays for quite sometime, I would say around 3 to 4 hours atleast without any smudging.
@ash: do try it now..
@nivedita: ohh..wen m in a hurry which mostly is d case :p…then i prefer pencils or kajal ..
@pretty in colors: ya it is..wud try ur tip too..
hi bhumi…whats up, how are you??
somehow i have stopped using kajal since ages coz of their smudging factor!! instead i use black eyeliner pencils on lower lash line, like of Lakme 9to5, Borjois black 01 noir, or even Lotus black eyeliner pencil which is of 199/- and don’t smudges like kajal..
hii prerana…m gud..Lotus pencil is not so soft na..N bourjois black I have bt evn that smudges..have heard gud thgs of Lakme 9 to 5..wud try that..but if I use kajal n smudge it lightly on the waterline..it does stay whole day..
wow…thanks for the tip of how to keep the kajal longer in the eyes…I use biotique and have a problem that it smudges a lot especially in summers otherwise I really like it…
Nice review Bhumi, I have heard so many praises for this Kajal from bloggers 🙂
nice review Bhumika………. its a pretty nice kajal…
Am using Maxfactor kohl pencil right now..the Lakme pencil seems to irritate my eye real bad..no idea why…but I like the MF kohl..is pretty black..I just set with a powder shadow. Didnt think thicker lines would spread more…I am so guilty of that..I keep putting more thinking it would stay longer 😛 😛
@swati: welcum..
@usma: ya its nice..
@zeeba: thanks..
@rads: Ya I have heard gud thgs bout maxfactor too..wud try that sumtym..n yes d thicker d line d more it smudges..
Awesome Bhumika! I used this once… long back but then it stung me bad. I have heard such good things about this kajal I feel like giving it another chance. But i don’t think i can cause my mum and A friend once used mine too.. and it dint sting her eyes either. so its just me. 🙁 Yes, I made 2 people use my kajal. :P:P
Nice tips! I do the same things too 🙂
