How to use Lakme Eyeconic White Kajal

How to use Lakme Eyeconic White Kajal
From Snow White in fairytales, Megan Fox in Hollywood to the sexy Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor everyone is in on a new beauty secret- White!. This new colour trend has made its way from runways and fairytales to mainstream make-up routines the world over. It is a shade that helps achieve a range of looks from ‘sexy siren’ to ‘subtle princess’ with a single stroke of the pencil. The new range of kajal pencils by Lakme Eyeconic includes the unmissable white kajal that marks a new dawn in eye-styling. The unconventional Eyeconic White also allows you to experiment with your style and wardrobe and challenge yourself to be adventurous everyday. For generations, the black kohl has ruled the make-up box of every contemporary Indian woman with its ability to quickly brighten the eyes with minimal fuss. Now it’s time to break that code and widen the gaze by adding white to your make-up essentials. 
Here are a few quick tips to add some adventure to your eyes.
Tip #1: Highlight the Inner Corner

Use white eyeliner to highlight the inside corner of your eyes. Starting from the corner, fan out about a centimeter on the top and bottom lid. This will make your eyes brighter and very captivating..
Tip #2: Layers of Color
Produce a white line of your top lid twice as thick as you would normally apply a black kajal. Next, apply black or brown liner on top of it with a line about half as thick. This will create a double eyeliner look that makes your eyes stand outwith a little drama.
Tips #3: Under Your Brows To Highlight Your Brow Bone

Use the Lakme Eyeconic White kajal to accentuate your eyes by highlighting your brow bone. This can be done with simple sweeps underneath the brow then smudging it along the brow bone.

We believe The Body Shop® Community Fair Trade honey is something extra special. We source it from the remote Sheka rainforest in the Ethiopian Highlands, a biodiversity hotspot that’s protected by UNESCO.
– Our Sheka honey has a very distinctive taste and smell because of the fragrant rainforest flowers that the bees collect the nectar from. Its light floral aroma makes it distinct from any other honey.
– The African honey bees that produce our honey are free to roam the rainforest. Every day, the bees communicate through ‘dancing’ to direct each other to the tastiest flowers.
– The honey selected for use in our products is of the highest quality – in fact it’s good enough to eat! It’s sold by high-end brands as table honey.

Lakme Eyeconic Kajal Green, Blue, Brown, White Review, Swatches

Lakme Eyeconic Kajal Green, Blue, Brown,White Review, Swatches
If you follow me my facebook and/or twitter..you would be knowing how I got the box torn from one side..and the pen drive was missing..
 
And instead of the grey, I got two green shades..
 
So lets review the four I have..

What the Company claims: Reinvent your everyday look with the all new Lakme Eyeconic White. With a deep colored stroke in an easy twist up format, it gives your eyes a long-lasting, Eyeconic look throughout the day.Smudge proof, water proof and dermatologically tested; Lakme’s Eyeconic White accentuates your eyes and makes them look bigger and brighter.

Key Features:

Smudge proof
Water Proof, Lasts up to 10 hrs
Safe for eyes
Convenient Twist- up format
 
MRP: Rs.250/- for 1.3g


It comes in the same retractable kajal packaging as Lakme Eyeconic in Black or other kajals in the market..its a tough competition in kajals category, I tell you..

 
White is a pure white shade
 
Brown is a dark chocolate brown
 
Green is a deep forest green
 
Blue is a light forest green (?) (I have no idea why the blue is a green..Lakme has released blue which is almost similar to the green..just a tad bit lighter..I had first thought I got three greens..but it was named blue..and when I saw online, I found that their blue is just like the green..I wish it was a navy blue or a nice peacock or turquoise blue..why the same blue as green, Lakme ?)

Anyways, so here you see only white and brown different..and two similar greens :p

T-B: Brown, Blue, Green, White

These are so super soft..these just break ! Two of the pencils’ tips broke while swatching..and again while trying..I have no idea why these are so soft..do they need to be kept in fridge or something ? It is as it is quite cold..this is only leading to product wastage..and after breaking the tip again and again, you will be hardly left with any product :/

One has to be super careful with this..
 
These do glide on smoothly and are too soft..no tugging or pulling..pigmentation is quite good too..
 
They stay on for 7-8 hours on my upper lashline and for 4-5 hours on my waterline..there was not much smudging..but just that they collect at the edges of the eye..but no raccoon eyes issue..
 
White looks too stark white..I prefer nudes on my waterline..I like using the white in the inner corners of the eyes..
Here I have used brown on my upper and lower lashline and waterline and white slightly in the inner corners..


I like the green one too..

Overall, I would say these are new in the market and colored kajals are a nice thing to have..and budget friendly too..only issue is too much product wastage..and not many shade options..
 
I would recommend the Green and Brown ! And if you like using white on the waterline..White too..

EXPERT TIPS:
– Apply Revlon ColorStay Longwear Base Coat
– Apply two coats of Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamel and let dry.
– Apply Revlon ColorStay Longwear Top Coat for 11 days of lasting color!

MRP: Rs.350/- for 11.7ml
 
These are formaldehyde, toluene and DBP free and also UV sensitive which is the first..
 
Comes in a long bottle..and the quantity is quite good (11.7 ml is what no brand offers !). The brush is perfect..and 2 coats give a nice opaque perfect coverage..

And these indeed stay for 11 plus days as claimed..I have applied it from more than 10 days…and it has only chipped a little from the tips..
 
Only issue is it takes forever to dry ! Like forever..I waited for sooo long..and still messed up a little..and also takes some time to remove..

But otherwise, these are just perfect..a little on the expensive side..but if you are someone who is always pressed for time..and do not have the time and patience to change nail paints regularly, this is a boon for you !


230 Bonsai is a grass green shade with gold shimmer..

Something which I have never tried till date..quite a different shade..and it looked so fab ! I even received compliments for the shade 😀
 
I lovee the shade Passionate Pink, Blue Slate, French Roast, Sequin, Vintage Rose..I think I love all the shades ! Such unique, interesting and fab shades..but they have released 30 shades in the US and only 16 here..I am disappointed 🙁 I hope they have some good shades for us here too..
 
Highly Recommended !

b.liv Got Oil Relief Toner Review

b.liv Got Oil Relief Toner Review
By Magali
The Got Oil Relied Controlling Toner (as the name suggests) is made especially for oily skin. A month ago I had the worst breakouts that I’ve ever had so it was the perfect time to really put this product to the test & see if it lives up to it’s claims. The bottle comes with a spray cap & a lid. 
The spray mechanism feels well made & sprays a fine mist. The bottle is quite travel friendly too.
This does a good job of removing excess oiliness & refreshed your skin too. 
A lot of oil control cleansers & toners leave my skin feeling parched but not his one. I also use it after cleansing, to remove the last traces of makeup.
Pros-
1. Travel Friendly
2. Removes excess oil without drying out the skin
Cons-
1. Contains Parabens
