I am reviewing the shade Just Pearly..and I think this would help all of you who are in search of a good nude eye liner for the waterline ! Coz my search ends here..read on..

Jordana Color Xtend eye liners are normal sharpenable pencils..it has a matching shade cap and lower bottom..they are super creamy and glide on smoothly..no tugging no pulling..but once set, they won’t budge !
Just Pearly is a pale peachy pink nude with a slight metallic sheen..but it looks almost nudish on the waterline..brightens my eyes instantly..

After smudging
This works on the inner corners, as a highlight under the brow bone and also on the cupid’s bow..and the best thing about this is the staying power..it stays put the whole day untill you remove this with a good cleanser..I used my NYX Jumbo Pencil in Yogurt many a times as a highlight…but then it was so creamy that it did not stay long.

Sorry I did not have a pic of wearing it..would add one..

Pros:
1. Super creamy…glides on like butter.
2. Easy to sharpen..no wastage..
3. Stays put the whole day without any smudging.
4. Did not sting even when used on waterline.
5. Highlights and opens up the eyes..works on the inner corners, under the brow bone..multi purpose.
6. Economical.
7. Shade Matching cap and bottom..easy to recognise.
Cons:
1. On the official website of Jordana they have it in only one shade i.e black called Black Out..and as far as I have read..everyone is saying its discontinued and are not able to find it 🙁
2. Its not available everywhere..I got mine from Healthkart here. But the only point is if its discontinued..then I hope Healthkart is not stocking the old batch :/
3. One has to be careful that it does not get over on the lashes..
Overall I have no other cons with this..I totally love this. Its so multi purpose..and finally my perfect nude liner for waterline search has ended…and with such an awesome eye pencil..I am happy 🙂 Highly recommended.

Tips and Toes Eye Lights Review,Swatches

Now I did not find any information about this on the Tips and Toes site..its a part of their new launch..so may be they have not updated it yet..but I have the following information..

Ideal companion for an quick makeover by enhancing your eyes
To make your eyes more dramatic and give you the glamorous look at nights and achieve a soft look  in the day Tips & Toes has introduced Eye Lights in 6 striking shades- 
  • Blue Sapphire

  • Black Onyx

  • Emerald Glow

  • Purple Passion

  • Marine Magic

  • Silver Shine. 

Make your eyes life of a party or at work with range of intense colours that glide (fall) easily on your eye lids. The brush comes with softer felt tips not only protecting your sensitive eyes but also defining the makeup. It’s easy to use and more comfortable even for first time users; brush is for more professional hand.

So get an intense metallic finish with quick drying, water resistant and long lasting Eye Lights. Use Intense black water proof eye liner and after it dries one can use Eye Lights for dramatic and party look.

Four simple steps to a glamorous eye
  1. Wash and clean your face before applying your make up. 

  1. Apply Tips & Toes Exotic Eyes eye shadow on the entire lid; make sure your application is just right. Please avoid cream or gel based eye shadows.

  1. Now apply the Eye Lights by itself or you can use it as an outline ( on top of it) after applying dark eye liner.

  1. Just simply- Apply a single line which starts from the inside and follow it through the outer area of the eye.

Eye Lights are liquid liners with felt tip and are easy to use and carry.

These new launches are made in Argentina and only marketed and sold here by Tips and Toes.

Marine Magic is an aqua blue shade.

MRP: Rs. 250/- for 3ml

Pros:

1. Its very very easy to use because of the felt tip.
2. Nicely pigmented.
3. It gives a glossy kinda effect.
4. Stays on long without flaking.
5. Waterproof.
6. Yet it comes off easily with a normal cleanser.
7. The shelf life is 2 years.

Cons:

1. I think it should have been priced below 200 or the qty should have been a little more at this price..either of the two..
2. Its not available everywhere. Tips and Toes products are available at places mentioned under shop locator here
3. No Ingredients mentioned.

Overall I loved these Eye Lights..as they are quite easy to work with.

Heena Gold is a very pretty greenish gold color..and I fell in love with it the time I saw it. But the sad part is it does not show up on eyes at all 🙁

Aqua Green is actually a bluish green color and has a glossy sheen to it…Love it..looks amazing on ht lower lashline esp.

Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Review

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,
Gel liners are much better to use for lining eyes than the pencil ones..which tend to fade away and better than liquid liners for newbies where precision and control is required.
Abroad there are Bobbi brown gel liners which are the best..and which unfortunately we dont get in India..we have MAC Fluidlines and Clinique in high end which have gel and cream liners respectively..in many different colors which retail for Rs 1000/- and Rs 1100/- respectively.
In drugstore brands there is Maybelline and Tips and Toes which are for Rs. 375/- and Rs. 210/- respectively.
Coming to the Maybelline one…here it is…

What the Company claims: Creamy gel types allows to draw a smooth clean line without crease. Customized eye line brush allows lines to be drawn as desired from fine to thick. The creamy gel texture dries quickly after application. Long lasting water proof and smudge proof formula that resists sweat,tears and water.

Directions for use: 1. Dip Tip Of Brush Into Gel Formula And Wipe Off Excess On Rim Of Jar. 2. Glide Brush In Small Strokes Across Lash Line. 3. Continue To Build Line, Until Desired Intensity Is Achieved. **After Each Use, Wipe Brush Clean With Dry Tissue And Close Cap Tightly.

And after trying to smudge them..

The Brush

Pros:
1. The texture of this gel is awesome..glides on super smooth and nicely.
2. The brush that comes with is damn good…I have shaky hands..yet it helps in getting a smooth line…and this brush gives a thick to thin..any desired lines.
3. It is long lasting and smudge proof as it claims..it stays on whole day without smudging or fading.
4. It gives an even and matte look..better than liquid liners.
5. It helps in getting that perfect winged look too.
6. Its perfect for tightlining the eyes.
7. It dries quickly and hence does not smear or spread.

Cons:
1. It comes in a single color in India i,e Black..there are other colors like Brown and Eggplant available abroad.
2. The brush is separate and there is a chance of misplacing it..unlike Tips and Toes which have their brush attached on top.
3. Tips and Toes is more economical at Rs.210/-
4. Its not meant to be used on waterline..so do not use it there..though some people do..I tried it twice..but it kinda irritated my eyes and I felt itchy..though nothing harsh…But I would suggest avoid it as it contains lots of chemicals and is Made In China :p

Would I buy it again: Yes if I get it in some other colors…or else would try Tips and Toes if I run out on this..which wont happen soon.

Tip: Usually gel liners tend to dry out..especially the Bobbi Brown ones..though Maybelline doesnt any soon…what one can do is keep them upside down so that the air in the jar gravitates downwards and stays a bit away from the gel..and if your gel liner has already dried out..try adding a few drops of Inglot Duraline to it.
