Hello my loves.. hope you are all doing good.. its been ages since i blogged. thanks to my broken laptop.:-( now that i got a new laptop ( yeahhh ) am back with a review today. Its a review on my current favorite eye pencil from colorbar. its called '' I GLIDE EYE PENCIL '' in the shade GLOWING SAPPHIRE 010 and AMETHYST SPARK 011. since the festivels are fast approaching i thought it is right time to share my review on this product. it would be a nice addition to your collection.
I am huge fan of kajals. its my absolute necessity. i can never have enough kajals. i do wear color kajals every now and then. they add a pop of color to my eyes and make me more put to gather without much effort.. that is how i ended up picking these two eye pencils from color bar and am loving them.
PRICE ; INR 499 ( EACH ) for 1.1 g
SHELF LIFE : 30 months.
PRODUCT CLAIMS :
1. Extremely soft and outstanding smooth formula, almost like a liquid liner
2.easy to blend shortly after application.
3. waterproof, super longwear, no transfer and smudge proof.
PACKAGING :
It comes in a cool silver color carton with all the informations printed on it.. the pencil itself has all the details printed on it which is awesome coz in most of the kajals or any makeup product for that matter , when you remove the carton or outer cover , all the informations i.e the mfg date , quantity ,ingredient list will come off with the cover. you will never know when the product expires. so its a plus with this eye pencil. the bottom part of the carton is corresponding to the color that the pencil is in.
I always prefer kajal pencil with twist up mechanism. the product doesnt get wasted.. but this eye pencil needs to be sharpened. since it is too creamy the tip gets flattened just in a single usage . you need to sharpen it the next time. :-( which ends up wasting the product.
TEXTURE :
It is definitely one of the creamiest pencil that i have come across.. one swipe is all you need. yes thats right. one swipe and you already have the maximum pigmentation. it breaks easily coz of its creamy texture. so you have to light handed with this pencil.
I picked two shades from this eye pencil and one of the pencil ( amethyst spark 011 ) was manufactured a year ago. :-( i dint notice that while buying. that particular pencil is lil drier than the new pencil. which means the product texture changes with the time. its common with all the long lasting kajals. so when you are getting a long lasting eye pencil make sure you get a newly arrived stock. ( lesson learnt from my own experience :-P )
COLOR :
GLOWING SAPPHIRE 010 : Its a deep blue shade almost looks like a black kajal when you click a selfie. it has minute glitter particles in it.. it is not shimmer. tid bit larger than a shimmer. but it doesnt bother my eyes or anything.
AMETHYST SPARK 011 : its a bright purple color with lots of glitter in it. it has more glitters when compared to the blue one.. i guess that is why it is being named as amethyst SPARK. when i tried to smudge the kajal after few minutes, glitter from the purple one got smudged all over but not from the blue one.
STAYING POWER :
I have only one word to describe the staying power. AMAIZING .. it really is amaizing. it stays pretty much for the whole day. it is definitely a long lasting and smudge proof eye pencil.
this is how it looks after trying to smudge it for a couple of times. the kajal stays intact only the glitter particles from amethyst spark got smudged all over. even with a cleansing milk i need to tug a lil bit to remove the eye pencil.
PROS
1. pencil itself is printed with all the infos.
2. smudge proof
3. water proof
4. excellent color pay off
5. great choice of colors
6. stays forever.
CONS
1. Might be expensive for college goers.
2. glitter particle in amethyst spark gets all over.
3. product gets dried after few months. ( that is quite common with all the long lasting kajal pencils )
4. product wastage is more
MY FINAL VERDICT :
It stands up to all its claims. it stays forever , doesnt smudge. even it has glitters , it doesnt bother my eyes. i definitely recommend this product to all those kajal lovers out there. :-)
MY RATINGS
4.5 / 5
