Review: Lakmé Eyeconic (Coloured) Kajals

  Rs. 250 for 0.35g

It's been ages since I did a Lakmé post. I scrolled back my last 10 posts and noticed there wasn't a single Lakmé post, so let's change that now. Lakmé came out with coloured kajals a while back, and every single beauty blog was flooded with swatches and looks featuring them. I was excited when I heard that Lakmé had come out with coloured kajals - but when I saw the swatches, I was slightly disappointed. They were rather dull and not as bright as I had imagined. When you say blue, I had envisioned a rather vivid blue (kinda like that Maybelline Turquoise kajal which I'll be reviewing soon), and not the midnight blue it turned out to be. What changed my mind? Kareena Kapoor did. While I was in Bangalore, I was in a mall which had life size pictures of Kareena using the kajals in various looks. And they were all so gorgeous!!! I bought 4 of the 5 shades that very day!

Lakmé Absolute Precision Liquid Liner: Review

So I was looking through my last 10 posts and I realized that it's been a while since I've done a makeup review. So I pulled out my favourite liner and decided to review it ^_^

What's on the pen? Unique tip for a super smooth, mistake proof and one stroke precise jet black line.

Lakmé Clean Up Nourishing Glow Face Wash: Review

Source: www.littlemiss-perfect.com

Some time back, there was this ad on TV - Lakmé Fruit Blast Face Washes. There was just something about those girls crushing juicy fruits, the lyrics; everything about the ad screamed refreshed skin. Did I mention that I love fruits, fruit juices, smoothies etc? When I saw this Lakmé face wash in a chemist, it looked so much like the Lakmé Fruit Blast face wash with Berries, I had to pick it up.

What Lakmé Claims: Salon-like cleanup everyday now at home! With goodness of strawberries, wash away all visible dirt, impurities and pollution. 


Price: Rs. 145 for 100 g 

Shelf Life: 2 years

Lakmé Nine to Five Intense Shine Eyeliner Review

Kajal is synonyms with the Indian woman. 90% of all my girlfriends won't even step out of the house without some kajal on. But I'm more of an eyeliner girl. Maybe because my eyes make sure that anything I wear on my waterline won't last for more than 5 seconds. Or maybe because I feel eyeliners look great on me. Whatever it is, you'll see me wearing eyeliners way more often than kajals. This particular eyeliner was my very first, and was a gift from a friend. The gorgeous and sleek little tube instantly impressed me and I couldn't wait to try it on.

 

What Lakmé Claims: Rich, intense colour in one stroke that stays true for hours. Create smoldering eyes with bold shades that redefine the look of liquid eyeliner.

Lakmé Gentle & Soft Deep Pore Cleanser Review

Cleansers remove makeup, dirt, oil and dead skin cells. They help to unclog pores and prevent skin conditions such as acne. So cleansing is a very important step in your beauty routine.

I stepped into the store with the intention of buying Himalaya Herbals Deep Cleansing Milk which I had previously used and was very happy with the results (except for when I got a tiny bit of it in my eye by mistake while trying to get some eyeliner off and it stung like hell. In Himalaya's defense, you shouldn't be getting the product in your eyes. In fact, nothing should be put in your eyes unless it's specifically meant for your eyes. Duh!). But the store didn't have the Himalaya cleanser. Instead the salesperson showed me Ayur Deep Pore Cleansing Milk and Lakmé Gentle & Soft Deep Pore Cleanser. The Lakmé cleanser with its seductive packaging instantaneously caught me eye (I know, I should stop making decisions based on packaging, but I just can't help it!). I debated for a bit - the Lakmé cleanser was quite a bit more expensive than what I'd originally planned on buying (The Himalaya cleanser was priced at Rs. 65 for 100 ml) and was also costlier than the Ayur cleanser (Rs. 110 for 550 ml) - but ended up buying the Lakmé cleanser in the end. After all, Lakmé is a better known brand than Ayur, and I couldn't resist the slim lovely bottle. It never hurts to try something new...does it??

Lakmé Eyeconic Curling Mascara Review

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!)

What Lakmé Claims: Lakmé Eyeconic Kajal is a smudge proof, water proof kajal which is dermatologically tested. With a deep black stroke in an easy twist up format, it gives your eyes a long-lasting, eyeconic look through out the day.
