Maybelline Colossal Kajal Review

June 4, 2011 By: Bhumika

I got this kajal after hearing lots of ppl raving about it..Its a twist up mechanical pencil..and is nice dark black.

It claims to have
Mega Intensity + Mega Wear for 6 hours which equals to Colossal Striking Eyes

Well it has lot of product in it..and would last me a long time..

Maybelline Colossal kajal

Maybelline Colossal kajal

MRP: Rs 150/-

Shelf life: 24 months

This is how it looks on my eyes

Maybelline Colossal kajal

Pros:

1. Its nice dark black.
2. Glides on nicely and is super soft.
3. Reasonably priced.
4. Does not spread or smudge much or give racoon eyes like a few herbal kajals.
5. I liked the yellow packaging.
6. It does not go away completely leaving your eyes bare..and there is a hint of it till the time you remove it.

Cons:

1. Claim of 6 hours staying power is wrong…it hardly stays for 2 hours.
2. It does get collected at the corners.
3. When I got wet in rain..it smudged too and gave me racoon eyes πŸ™ So basically not meant for the rainy season.
4. No Ingredients mentioned…dont know what the 5 caring ingredients are :/

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: No…the only fact good about it..is that it does not smudge..but I am not impressed with the staying power…just another normal kajal

    u know i did the review and thats the same thing i said πŸ˜› heheheh and also the fact that it is made in china :p. i was also disappointed in the smudging but what can i expect in Rs 150 but on the other hand if it does smudge then why did they claim to have a staying power of 6hours :/. it does give me more black color but i am still confused about it :/

    i am using this kajal and for me it’s staying power is very good. even in the summer, it wouldn’t smudge when i am sweating like anything. staying power is very long. remains there until i remove it.the color is also very black. the only thing is i need to swipe it 3 to 4 times to get the color.

  22. bhumika says

    November 20, 2011 at 9:13 am

    @amrita: Glad to know that..but since I have watery eyes..it stays just 2-3 hours on me..though I like the fact that it smudges less..
