Elle 18 Eye Drama Bold Black Kajal| Review & Swatch

Hi Beauties!!!

If you follow my blog regularly then you will surely know my love for kajal. You will find almost every kajal’s review on my blog. Currently I having three kajal or khols in my vanity i.e Elle-18, Myglamm & faces. The prices of Elle-18 & Faces kajal are pretty economical on the other hand MyGlamm is tagged at higher price. I will be reviewing all of them, lets start with Elle-18.

Ingredients: Not mentioned on packaging.

Price: 135 Rs

Qt: 0.35 gm

Online availability: Here

Shelf life:24 months or 2 years

Direction of use: Draw a neat black stroke along your lower waterline. For a more dramatic look, add a bold stroke on the upper lid.

Packaging: This kajal comes in a very cute black outer paper packaging, with a nice girl’s face printed on the outlet. The actual product is a retractable pencil kajal with a nice cap. The twist up mechanism works perfectly & prevents freedom  wastage caused by sharpening of kajal pencils. I absolutely loved the packaging.

My opinion about the product: This kajal has creamy soft texture, that glides smoothly on eyes without any tugging or pulling, even on your water line. The pencil starts with a fine point but after one or two use it is a thick blunt so definitely not an option if you want a fine line. On application it comes out a matte black shade, darker than regular black but definitely not the darkest one. MyGlamm is giving amazing jet black shade with an unbelievable quality 🙂  Application is super easy & you can create any look from a winged liner to something which needs a lot of blending like smokey. 

It is a strong black kajal so two or three strokes gives a jet black shade when used on the lash line. Brand claims it to be a whole day water-proof & smudge-proof formula but it is not.  It will not  smudge automatically but if you will rub it smudges. I don’t know why most of the time I forget that I am wearing kajal & rub it which makes me look lie a raccoon 😂 Now lets talk about the staying power of this kajal it stays on my waterline for only 2 hours and then starts fading and on the eyelids its stays for 4-5 hours at least. So overall it’s a good option for college girls or for those who loves affordable products 🙂

What I like about this product….

1. Has a nice texture & glides smoothly.
2. Easily available in local as well as online market.
3. Water proof & smudge proof up to a certain extent.
4. Doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes.
5. Travel friendly packaging.

What I do not like about this product…..

1. Breaks off a little under pressure.
2. Ingredient list is not complete.
3. Average staying power.
4. Doesn’t stay for whole day as claimed.
