When I stepped into the shop to purchase my Lakmé Eyeconic Kajal, the salesperson dangled the Lakmé Eyeconic Mascara in front of me too. And how could I resist? There it was, looking all slim and sleek and pretty. Not to mention affordable. So I convinced myself that I was looking to buy a mascara anyway, and I'd heard great things about this product, so sooner or later I was definitely going to buy it, and I ended up purchasing this as well. (You know how your brain sometimes seems to team up with the salesperson and starts convincing you why you absolutely need to purchase that new dress/bag/pair of shoes and how your life will be incomplete without it? I hate it when my brain does that and the salesperson looks at you with that smug knowing smile, confident he's won the battle!)
