Review of VLCC Kajal with Liquorice and Camphor

Hi all my lovelies. Hope you all are doing fine. Today I am going to review about a product which am sure has already been reviewed by most of the beauty bloggers. Since I have just started so I thought that I should also review about this great product. I am talking about VLCC KAJAL with liquorice & camphor. The products of VLCC are most great and are generally chemical free. Like this kajal has Triphala, Liquorice extracts, Camphor and Almond oil as its key ingredients. It comes in a simple packaging with the kajal inside a transparent plastic bulged out of the cardboard.

The packaging of the product.

The best thing about this product is it's cruelty free. I really don't like products that are tested on animals. On the back side of the package all the informations are provided like ingredients, manufacturing details, price of the product, expiry date, etc. One thing that I forgot to mention before that I got this kohl as a free product when I ordered a complete facial kit from starcj.com . But the price of this is Rs.55 for 1g of the product.

What the product claims,Directions and Key Ingredients

As you can see the product claims to smudge free and non fading. But the size of the product is really small. It has a transparent cap and the body is black

VLCC KAJAL WITH LIQUORICE EXTRACT AND CAMPHOR

I am just not happy with the size of the product. I mean its just too small. May be because I am used to the structure of Maybelline and Lakme kajals that's why it looks tiny in comparison. Let me add more pictures of this kajal then probably you will get it what I am trying to say.

The size of the product is way too small

Total product when twisted out

Like I said the size of the product is way too small but then it can be carried in the purse easily. Also the cap closes with a 'click' so no worries of the cap opening on its own and ruining the purse. Also the quality is definitely good. The product did not irritate my eye and did not smudge as well. But i use a thin line of this kajal so can't really comment about the smudging part. But yes the line did not smudge or smear on me. But it did not last long. Just 2-3 hours and then it faded away.

Left swatch is single swipe. Right swatch is multiple swipe.

The ingredients mentioned are all good for eyes. It gave a slight cooling effect to my eyes. Single swipe is not enough so I had to apply two or three swipes to get better colour pay off. Let me add a picture to show how it looked on me.

I applied a thin line on my lower lash line

It definitely added a spark to my eyes otherwise my eyes looked quiet dull. Adding a thicker line would also look quiet pretty. Another thing that concerns me is when the product will become blunt it might be difficult to apply thin lines with it. So may be I need to use a brush in that case. Will have to figure it out. So all said it's now time for the conclusion. So it's a yes from me. I am happy with this product and definitely recommend it. It's vegan, cruelty free, good brand and good pigmentation. So this should be definitely in your stash.

So do a grab this product and try it. I am sure you won't be disappointed. So that's all for today. Please let me know any specific product that you would like me to review. See you all next time till then spread smiles across.

Review of Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick in the shade 01 Scarlett O'Hara

Hello lovelies. Today I am going review about a much-talked about product that has been a current obsession for many beauty bloggers in the recent past. I am talking about the crayon lipsticks that has been launched by Sugar cosmetics. It's a German company. It has four shades namely 01 Scarlett O'Hara which is a bright red color, 02 Mary Poppins which is a bright fuchsia color with purple undertones, 03 Poison Ivy which is a deep wine color and 04 Holly Golightly which is a nude shade.

What the company claims :

Screenshop from the company page.

I will be reviewing the shade 01 Scarlett O'Hara as it's the only shade I have as of now. To start with the packaging. The lipstick comes in a soft cardboard packaging which looks classy and elegant. The details of the cardboard is mentioned on the packet itself such as name of the shade, ingredients, product details & quantity. It comes along with a free sharpener which is in a different packet.

The mentioned ingredients.

The lipstick comes in a sturdy package. The shade of the lipstick is mentioned on the packet as well as on the lipstick for easier recognition of the shade. This particular shade has blue undertones and hence imparts a brightness once you apply it. I am huge fan of red lipsticks and recently I have possessed a great love for matte lipstick so this one has to be in my collection. This color will suit fair to dusky skin tones. 

This is how the product looks without the cap. It had perfect tip but I snapped it after using it.

As far as the texture is concerned it's really soft and you can apply it easily. It's always advisable to exfoliate your lips before applying it as it may settle down on your crease which won't look pretty and you will definitely not like to ruin the looks with this beauty. The pigmentation is really great ans single swipe will cover your lips. Also you might want to apply a lip balm or lip conditioner underneath it so that your lips are moisturised and you don't end up with patchy lips. This lipstick does dry out the lips a little bit.

As you can see in the pictures the pigmentation is almost equal in both the swipes. So like I said the color buildup is really great. One thing that I don't like is it needs to be sharpen which will lead to product wastage and since it costs INR799/- for one lipstick and that too for 2.8gm of the product so it's into costlier side and wasting product while sharpening will just break my heart. Another thing is I found this product on the company website and fabbag website only and both had the same price. But I got the product on INR 699/- as I got it in some offer where I got a discount of INR 100/-.

This is how it looked on me. It just brightened up my face.

I am just in love with this lip crayon. The packaging is classy and will suit most of the skin tones. I definitely recommend this product and will try to get my hands on the other shades as well. Hope you all like the review. Please comment below if you have any question or opinion. Thanks for reading. See you all next time till then Keep Smiling.

A Whole New World

Hi everyone. This is my first blog and I will just share about my ideas for the blog and also few details about me. Well I am here to write reviews on makeup products, try interesting diy ideas, provide my knowldege and information on different cosmetics and also learn new stuffs from my readers. I was first interested in lipsticks as far as I remember. I found it very interesting when my mom used to apply different shades of lipsticks and looked in awe. I thought it was some magical thing (i was only 3-4 years old that time). I could not reach out to those coz they were kept in higher shelves. But as I grew up I understood that it was lipstick and not some magic that used to create such color change. I first started using kohl or kajal as my first cosmetic product. Then eyeliner, lip balms, sheer lipsticks and eventually I was introduced to a whole new of cosmetics. I was not so much into cosmetics until I turned 23. That was the time when I learned about different kinds of foundations, how it affects different skin types, how using a wrong one can mess up your beauty. So like this I came to know about other makeup items as well. It was may be because of the fact that I was very ignorant about my looks that I just did not had wise idea about how to groom myself. I had a don't care attitude towards my looks but now when I look back I wish I had known before so that I could have been more careful regarding my skin and hair. My skin color is wheatish n sometimes on the darker side. I had such beautiful black hair but like I said I did not care and now it's like quarter part of the total hair is left on my scalp compared to what I had earlier. I used to get random comments on my hair and I was like Ok fine. My hair is already beautiful so it doesn't matter what I do its going to remain as it is. BIGGEST BLUNDER. Due to lack of taking proper nutrition, lack of oiling, frequent changes in shampoo and wearing helmet ( I used to drive scooty to my college) lead to massive hairfall. By the time I realised it was already pretty late. I had shifted to a new city and the water there also caused tremendous hairfall. But now I have managed to somewhat reverse the hairfall effect as I tend to see new baby hairs on my scalp. Yayyy! Also I take every bit of care of my skin. So like I said earlier I am here to share my experiences and also learn new things from my readers. I will review some products that I use and also try new stuffs and review them. As mentioned earlier this is my first blog so I hope you all enjoyed reading and please let me know what kind of blogs would you like. See you all next time till then Be Happy.
