Top 5 Felt tip/Pen tip Eyeliners in India, Prices, Buy Online

“You have to be calm, cool and collected around liquid eyeliners, because it can sense fear”

Hello everyone!

Let us all look back to the days when we couldn’t even draw a straight line on our eyes, and look at us all, we have mostly got so fierce with our eye liners. I find that an eyeliner adds a quick spark on the face and levels up your makeup game altogether. And, if you haven’t mastered the art of perfecting your eyeliner, worry not; that’s what felt tip or pen tip eyeliners are for. They help you create the perfect line even if you’re a bit too shaky or just a newbie in the eyeliner game.

Liquid liners can be a bit too messy if you’re a newbie and they provide no control over the applicator. I never started with felt tip eyeliners, honestly, i just jumped straight into a liquid eyeliner and by trial and error, i learnt on my own.

Felt tip liners help you create the most perfect lines and sharp wings, the only con being, they usually dry out pretty quickly. So, here’s my Top 5 felt tip/pen tip eyeliners to help you create that perfect wing:

1. Maybelline The Colossal Liner (Price: Rs. 425/-) (Review HERE) (BUY HERE for 340)

This has to be my most favourite eyeliner out of all the eyeliners mentioned here. It claims to be the perfect antidote to your eye liner woes, smudge-free with quick-dry formula ensuring long-lasting bold application. Fade-proof, lasting up to 12-hours long. It comes with a 0.4 mm Flexi Tip Applicator which enables error-free and quick application. Its empowered with Ink-pigment technology providing stunning, defining lines as well as intense colour. Initially, i hated this eyeliner since it didn’t use to last more than 2-3 hours or so; not like any felt lip lasts long but this one disappointed me at first. Then, i just tried using it after days by patting powder on my lids first and the results were magical. This liner lasted me for more than 8 hours and gave me really sharp lines. It is a must have if you want precise, bold, black and long lasting eyeliner.

2. Colorbar Ultimate Eye Liner (Price: Rs. 550/-) (BUY HERE for 512)

It claims to be highly pigmented giving an intense look. It is waterproof and stays on for long hours, without smudging or bleeding and you can also play around with the look you want to wear. This liner gives you the blackest lines and is completely smudge free. It lasted me a good 6 hours. It doesn’t come off easily until you actually use a makeup remover. It is worth a buy if you want an eyeliner for an all day usage.

3. Lotus Herbals Colorkick Curved Liquid Eyeliner (Price: Rs. 725/-) (BUY HERE for 690)

I bought this eyeliner after hearing bloggers and youtubers rave about, and i finished it pretty quickly since it just is so good. It claims to give proper holding position for comfortable application. Buttery soft texture glides over waterline effortlessly. It does not feel heavy. Stays on eyes for long time. I love the way the product is packaged, it helps you have a grip and control over what you’re doing. It gives bold black lines and the tip is perfect for even creating a thin line. The only con is the pricing which i find is a lot to spend on a felt tip liner which is barely 0.4ml. A must have for anyone who is new to the eyeliner world. It’s a dupe of the Sephora Curved Liquid Eyeliner.

4. Maybelline Hyper Sharp Eyeliner (Price: Rs. 425/-) (Review HERE) (BUY HERE for 361)

Can we all just agree that Maybelline makes the best and affordable products? It claims to be waterproof, does not flake and can be used on the inner rim. The carbon black colour and defined finish will add an instant drama to your eyes. With its precision-tip foam applicator, this innovative sweat resistant formula delivers vibrant wear with no feathering, flaking, or fading. This liner gives you really precise and thin lines, it stays for upto 5-6 hours and is pretty sturdy so you can carry it around wherever you go. If you need a liner for creating the subtle thin lines, just buy this liner without a second thought.

5. Lakme Absolute Precision Liquid Liner (Price: Rs. 425/-) (BUY HERE)

This company has been there forever, our mothers used its products, so you just know it is trustworthy. It claims to have a quick dry, long lasting, smudge-free formula that just doesn’t smear. This eyeliner will highlight the beautiful shape of your eyes. It comes with an easy-to-apply applicator which is in a pen-type design, making it simple for you to define the contours of your eyes, to give you the desired look in one stroke. This liner is yet again bold, black and provides you perfect control over the lines you create. You can create anything from a subtle thin line to a bold winged eyeliner. It lasts up to 6 hours and is smudge free. It is Lakme, just trust it and buy it. do i need to say anymore?

Editor’s Note: I absolutely love this list Simran. Maybelline Hypersharp was my favourite untill they launched the Colossal Liner. Now I only use Maybelline The Colossal Liner. My recent discovery which is really nice and I would like to add in this list as the 6th one is the PAC Cosmetics Liquid Liner Pen.

Starlooks December 2015 Extraordinaire Kit Review, Products

Starlooks December 2015 Extraordinaire Kit Review, Products

Hi guys,

You have seen previous Starlooks Looksbook Mini Kits on my blog, I have also done a video with the September kit.

This time for the last month of the year and being a party season, the theme was ‘Extraordinaire- You’re A Star’. Also the products were 6 instead of the usual 3 and all are pretty amazing and perfect for the party season.

MRP: $29 (Buy HERE) If you buy the monthly subscription, it’s only $12 per month

Talking about the products I received in the December box, and mind you all are 3/4th of the full sized products which is amazing!

Products:

  • Party Mascara Glitter Gel- It’s a metallic rose gold mascara which can be used on the tips of the lashes for a party look or even on the eyebrows as the glitter/metallic eyebrows trend is quite IN right now
  • Presence Eye Liner- It’s a shimmery champagne colored eye pencil which will work as a highlight under the brow bone, in the inner corners or even on the waterline. I love using this on my waterline and it did not irritate my eyes.
  • BYOB(eauty) Lip Gloss- Again a beautiful, shimmery rose gold lip gloss. It is non sticky, pigmented and perfect. The size is perfect for handbags.
  • Darling Blush- A shimmery, super pigmented copper red blush. It can double up as an eyeshadow.
  • Century Metallic Cream Eye Shadow- My favourite in this kit, it’s a shimmery metallic grey cream eyeshadow. It does crease and needs a primer and shadow on top.
  • Pure Lip Gloss- This is very unique, a super pale lip gloss which has a hint of lavender and it looks lavender on the lips. Quite a different color.

All the 6 products are super interesting and unique and not something I have in my stash, I love how Starlooks always comes up with new stuff and a new theme every month. I definitely recommend the Starlooks subscription as getting 3-5 products every month which are 3/4th the size and at $12 is quite a steal, also like this month, you may get 6 products at times 😀

The value of the products in this month’s box are $72 which you can get for $12 if subscribed or if you want to buy just this month, it’s still $29.

Maybelline The Colossal Liner Black Review,Swatches

Maybelline The Colossal Liner Black Review,Swatches

What the Company claims: Enjoy eye catching intensity and flawless precision with the Maybelline New York Colossal Liner.
Designed to end all your application woes, the Maybelline New york Colossal liner features a 0.4 mm flexi tip applicator that gives you perfect error free lines. Empowered with the ink pigment technology, this colossal eye liner imparts smudge proof, fade- proof, intense color to your eyes. Its quick dry formula ensures a 12 hour staying power and quick application. Add this kajal to your vanity kit and enjoy stunningly beautiful eyes everyday.

Here’s why you’ll love it:

  • Has the intensity of a kajal and defines like a liner
  • Customized Flexi Tip applicator ensures mistake-proof application
  • Smudge-free liner has an intense black finish
  • Lasts for up to 12 hours

Price: Rs. 425 for 1.2g (Bought it from Nykaa)

I am a big big fan of Maybelline HyperSharp Liner..you can see HERE. It is my go to liner and I use it everytime, so when Maybelline launched the New Colossal Liner, I was eager to try it out.

I am a thin eyeliner person, I usually go for kajal and when I line my eyes, its a thin line just for definition, rarely I go for a thick liner. So HyperSharp was kind of perfect for me since it is 0.05mm tip whereas this one has a 0.4mm tip. Many did not like HyperSharp as they prefer thick liner and had to go over again and again with HyperSharp, Colossal is your answer ladies. But with HyperSharp, I too had to go over atleast 2 times on the line.

It comes in a pen form with a cap, a thin, flexible tip which goes on easy and smooth on the eyes. In terms of intensity, it is a rich black. I believe a little more pigmented and rich than HyperSharp too.

It dries quickly and gives a nice wing and perfect definition for everyday. I need not go over 2-3 times with this as I had to with HyperSharp.

Comparison of Maybelline HyperSharp Liner and Maybelline The Colossal Liner

  • Both are prices at Rs.425 but Colossal liner offers 1.2g whereas HyperSharp had 0.5g
  • HyperSharp is thinner with a 0.05mm tip and The Colossal has a 0.4mm tip
  • The Colossal Liner is a bit more pigmented than HyperSharp

I like both of them, HyperSharp was a favourite untill now, but if I have to choose one, I will go with Colossal coz I think the pigmentation and intensity is better and also lining eyes is a little quicker with it. Price wise, Colossal Liner comes with more than double the quantity so it would last longer too.

It stays on for 7-8 hours with minimal smudging,but it is not waterproof. Comes off easily with water. Can be carried along anywhere and everywhere.

My new current favourite..absolutely recommend this! I hope they come up with many different shades in a similar pen format and tip with equally amazing pigmentation.

Have you tried the new Maybelline Colossal Liner?

Maybelline InstaGlam Box Celebration of Bonds in Pink Review, FOTD

Maybelline InstaGlam Box Celebration of Bonds in Pink Review, FOTD

Maybelline India always launches a new InstaGlam box on various occasions. Check these:

Now this time they have come up with an Instaglam box for the Rakhi season to celebrate the special ‘brother-sister’ bond called the ‘Celebration of Bonds’ box.

Shades Available: Pink, Coral, Red

MRP: Rs.750/- (with products worth Rs.895/-)

Its a box with your basic essentials which are:

A dash of kajal, liner and lip gloss is what all of us use even on a regular basis. And the latest Glitter Mania nail paints were the perfect thing to add in the box ! An hint of bling completes the celebration box.

Colossal Kajal is a classic, a good glossy liquid liner is another must have. I absolutely love the High Shine Lip Gloss range, one of the best in India. And Glitter Mania nail enamels are again an hit.  The shade in this box ‘Pink Champagne’ is by far an universal favorite and I believe the widely sold too 😀

I think its a box all girls can use, coz not many use blush/mascara but a kajal or lip gloss is what every girl would use/carry along in her bag 😀

It makes a perfect gift, not only for sisters but also your girlfriends 😉 Nah, for any girl actually.

I highly recommend it. One good, value for money, must have box. Not only for yourself, but also to gift someone. At 750 bucks, makes quite an economical gift too 🙂

I did an FOTD with the kajal, lip gloss and eyeliner (created a winged eyeliner).

You can buy it from Snapdeal HERE.
