PAC Cosmetics Eyeliners & Kohls Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

So I got a few things from PAC Cosmetics and have already reviewed the beauty blender before. While it did tear in the first wash which I updated in that review, but it is still very much usable and I am quite loving it, just that I did not expect it to tear in the first wash :/

But today I am reviewing their eyeliners and kohls. They have two liquid liners and two kohl pencils. What I liked about them is that they are manufactured at Schwan Stabilo Cosmetics in Germany which is where Lakme Absolute, Colorbar, Faces, Kryolan and all of the major brands are manufactured. I am assured of the quality, plus the pricing is more affordable and comparatively cheap.

Starting with the liquid liners, they have a normal brush liquid liner and a pen liquid liner, though both are called pen, maybe coz of the stiff pen like applicator.

PAC Cosmetics High Shine Liquid Liner Pen

What the Company claims: The HIGH SHINE Liquid Eye Liner is long-lasting and does not smudge, crack, flake or peel. With its high definition  felt tip applicator, one stroke is enough to define a fine or thick line. Fast drying, Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner is suitable for sensitive eyes and those who wear contact lenses too!.An eyeliner that should last you all day long

MRP: Rs.395/- for 1.7ml (BUY HERE)

Ingredients:

It comes in a liquid liner tube packaging, the brush is quite thin but stiff and easy to use. It is super glossy as the name suggests. It does dry quickly but it is not completely waterproof and also fades off in about 4-5 hours i.e. not very long lasting too.

PAC Cosmetics Liquid Liner Pen

What the Company claims: PAC LIQUID LINER PEN  is a unique product which is perfect for defining your eyes  without any application difficulty. Its professional flexible brush offers great accuracy to line and define the eyes, ensuring an even application. Enables ease of use with the optimal control to give jet black color.IT DRIES UP QUICKLY AND OUR CONSUMERS HAVE SAID THE BELOW RESULTS-

1-81% SAID IT IS WATERPROOF

2-90% SAID IT WAS LONG LASTING

3-87% PERCENT SAID IT WAS EASY AND QUICK TO APPLY

MRP: Rs.450/- for 1ml (BUY HERE)

It comes in a sleek pen form and the tip is quite fine and stiff, super easy to use and do winged liners with. You must have seen me using this a lot in my recent YouTube videos.

I love how pigmented this is, also it settles to a semi-matte finish, gives a deep, dark, defined line and stays put almost the whole day and until you remove it with a cleanser. It is not completely waterproof but it doesn’t fade or come off, though easy to wash off with a cleanser.

It is absolutely perfect, I have never liked any other liquid eyeliner pen after using the Maybelline HyperSharp and later their Colossal Liner. I stick to the Colossal Liner only, but I am glad I tried this, I quite like it. It’s a tie between this PAC Liquid Liner Pen and the Maybelline Colossal Liner for me. Comparing the two, Colossal doesnt’ stay that long and transfers a bit on the lids if it is too humid but easier to apply. PAC does stay put whole day and does not transfer but I would still prefer Colossal for ease of application, a tad bit more. So equal points 🙂

Top: High Shine Liner
Bottom: Liquid Liner Pen

If you like glossy liquid eyeliners, you can go for the High Shine one, but otherwise I would absolutely recommend the Liquid Liner Pen.

Coming to the kohls, they have the Intense Auto Kohl and the Long lasting Kohl Pencil.

PAC Cosmetics Intense Auto Kohl

What the Company claims: A retractable pencil which is an intense auto kohl kajal pencil. A pencil that will take your worries of sharpening the pencil again & again of your mind. The intense colour & matte texture of the pencil will add definition & drama to your eyes. The pencil has a waterproof property & does not transfer. Just because the pencil is intense & jet black. Hence it can be used as : A kajal AS WELL AS An eye liner

MRP: Rs.350/- (BUY HERE)

It is a retractable kohl with a smudger on one side. You can either use it just on your waterline or use it on the upper lashline and smudge for a soft, smokey effect.

It is quite dark and very smooth in texture, glides on easily. I have very watery eyes and no kohl stays long on me, this stays for about 3-4 hours before fading bit by bit. Pretty decent, I would say.

PAC Cosmetics Long Lasting Kohl Pencil

What the Company claims: The kajal pencil which is never going to make a tear fall out of your eye. You were always worried about your kajal smudging & spoiling your make-up look but this kajal is a answer to your all problems.

MRP: Rs.350/- (BUY HERE)

This is in pencil form and again with a smudger behind. You can wear it similarly for your waterline or a smokey effect on upper lashline. The only problem with pencil is you need to sharpen and a lot of it goes waste. But also this is more hygienic as the germs get sharpened and you get a fresh layer before using.

This is quite deep and dark, much more pigmented than the Auto Kohl. Glides on like butter and stays put once set, for about 6-7 hours at least. It doesn’t smear and hardly smudges. The shape and size, packaging is exactly like the Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate which is my most favourite and the most long staying kohl on me. Both are manufactured at the same place too, performance wise also they are quite close, I would say they are like 98-100% . While the Lakme Absolute one is priced at Rs.725 (usually around 544 post discount), this one is pretty affordable at Rs.350/-

Top: Longlasting Kohl Pencil
Bottom: Intense Auto Kohl

While both the kohls are priced at Rs.350/-, I would definitely recommend the pencil unless you only prefer retractable ones and hate wastage of product.

I totally recommend the PAC Cosmetics Liquid Liner Pen and Long Lasting Kohl. Very affordable and total value for money!

PAC Cosmetics 378 Brush: The solution to all your woes about contouring your face perfectly. This brush is expertly crafted using Superior quality bristles that place and blend the contour perfectly. Achieve a defined, chiseled and sculpted look by contouring your face to precision.

MRP: Rs.775/- (BUY HERE)

I am also using the PAC 378 brush for contouring, I love the slanted shape and it deposits the product exactly at the contours, where you need. And it works well both with cream/liquid and powder contour. If you are looking for a brush for contouring, I definitely recommend trying this one.

It is slightly expensive at Rs.775 but it’s totally worth it coz using a fluffy brush won’t deposit your contour in one line but spread it around, if you know what I mean. And it is one of the more affordable and value for money options in the makeup brushes category.

Have you tried any of the PAC Cosmetics Liners, Kohls or Brushes yet?

OOTD: Gray Fuchsia Glitter Saree (Imaginary Red Carpet ?)

Hey everyone,

I am back with an OOTD..this time a saree! I have done one in an yellow saree long back HERE.

This time its a beautiful gray and fuchsia pink saree with a heavy glitter border..this is so perfect for parties, receptions,etc..

Its from TriveniSarees.com. They have an amazing collection of sarees, salwar kameez, lehengas and even jewellery and accessories. They have also brought a few designers on board..so you see designer wear too..and not only that, you have mens wear, kids wear and bed linen too..its like a one stop shop..good for brides too..perfect trousseau shopping place..this saree is also going to be a part of my trousseau. They also have plain brocade and digital print material which they sell per metre. They do the fall edging of the saree for free..and you can buy a standard cotton petticoat along for Rs.150 extra and get the blouse stitched for Rs.600 extra. And if you are the types who have difficulty wearing a saree, you can get the saree prestitched and the stitched blouse both for Rs.1000 extra. You just need to slip into the saree 😀 Cool, is’nt it ?

And the blouse is a normal silver one..which I got designed by my tailor..the design turned out good but not the fit :/ :Sigh: These tailors!

I paired it with silver mesh earrings and a simple gold and silver kada any my Titan Raga watch..And and my hot pink Valentino dupes!! OMG I can’t describe how high the heel is..killing feet literally..how do models walk in them is a big mystery to me! :/

Coming to the makeup, I used the new L’oreal Paris L’Or Lumiere Collection (read HERE) which consists of new Gel Matic Eye Pencils and Moist Mat Lipsticks. I have used the Gel Matic in Turbo Turquoise (other 4 shades in this range are Deep Brown, Silver Mania, Glamor Gold and Blue Force) and the Moist Mat Lipstick in Flaming Kiss here (Lincoln Rose, Glamour Fuchsia and Raspberry Syrup are my other favorites from this range..supposedly Aishwarya Rai wore Lincoln Rose with her first golden Roberto Cavalli gown at the Cannes 2014).

The Gel Matic Pencil in Turbo Turquoise is quite a nice vibrant turquoise shade..and glides on smooth too, was very easy to apply and it stayed put on the upper lashline throughout the day and was difficult to remove too..but does not stay long on the waterline.

Moist Mat Lipstick in Flaming Kiss is a reddish orange..not too ‘in your face’ kinda bright..but very wearable one..I loved it! Its super pigmented and goes full out in one swipe. Though it stays 3-4 hours and with eating and drinking about 2 hours. But, easy to reapply,no patchiness or dry lines.

I used a satin taupe eyeshadow on the eyes and lined my upper lashline and half the lower lashline with the Gel Matic in Turquoise and the Flaming Kiss Lipstick.

Please excuse my hair..I know they look weird here :/

Sorry for the changes in lighting..the sun was dancing..and also if you feel my foundation is lighter, let me tell you its not. My neck and body and slightly face too have turned darker..I got badly tanned..and 4 shades darker at the Beauty and the Blogger show..and trying to get rid of the tan..but I guess it would take some time..

Saree: Triveni Sarees
Heels: HERE
Earrings : Ayesha Accessories
Watch: Titan Raga

How did you like the look ? Not that I would wear this for a real red carpet! :p But anyhoo 😀 Do let me know in the comments below 🙂

Automatic sharpening for precision Lining

Shades Available: 4

  • Purple Punch
  • Cobalt Cool
  • Turquoise Burst
  • Boldest Black

MRP: Rs.399/- for 0.28g

Avon already has Glimmersticks eyeliners and they are pretty known and famous and quiet good..I had reviewed the shade Nocturnal HERE.

They have launched these Glimmersticks Ultra Brights now..but not sure why the prices increased so much from Rs.259/- directly to Rs.399/- though they are mostly on offers..

Glimmersticks are generally metallic shades or ones with shimmer..these are matte but bright..

It goes on smooth and is quite creamy..no tugging or pulling..but requires layering for the intensity..atleast 2 swipes..not multiple though. Stays on for 6-7 hours before fading off.

Purple Punch is a matte bluish purple shade..

Pros:

1. Pretty brights.
2. Smudge proof and does not spread around.
3. Stays for a good 6-7 hours.
4. Mechanical and retractable..so no wastage.
5. Matching shade at the end to identify.

Cons:

1. Needs to be layered twice for the intensity.
2. Only available through an Avon rep.

Overall I liked this shade..but would have loved it more had the pigmentation been better..the previous Glimmersticks were more pigmented..or may be its just this shade..I am not sure..but definitely worth a try..especially on offers.

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: No..not this shade..may be some other.

Maybelline The Colossal Kohl/Kajal Turquoise Review, Swatches, FOTD

So, if you follow me on my facebook page or Instagram, you must have seen this already ! The new Maybelline Colossal Turquoise Kajal..I had done a look with it..I received it in Feb but since I was supposed to be hush hush about it before, I was mum :p

Ok anyways, now since its officially launched and you can lay your hands on it too..let me review it for you guys..

What the Company claims: Go all out with glamourous eyes in the most exciting Colossal Kohl- Turquoise which LINES like a kohl and DEFINES like a liner. Turquoise kohl is a refreshing twist on the conventional black kohl and a must have fashion and beauty accessory. Here’s why you’ll love it:

Provides 12 hours of smudge free turquoise intensity
Color doesn’t smudge or fade
Enriched with nourishing ingredients and Vitamin E to soothe the eye
Features a unique tip that glides smoothly for an even application
100% suitable for your eyes

MRP: Rs.249/- for 0.35g (Buy on Flipkart here)

It comes in the same yellow retractable pencil packaging as the Maybelline Colossal Kajal Black..only with the metallic blue script on it..

Since turquoise blue is perfect for summers, Maybelline came up with this shade..

Its a metallic turquoise blue shade with some minute shimmer..I would not say its as pigmented as the black kajal..though its smooth but needs to be layered for the color to show up.

Also its a little soft and breakable..

The color stays for a good 6-7 hours on the upper lashline but on the lower lashline, it stays for 2-3 hours..before it fades off..there is no smudging or flakes issue.

Here I have done a winged liner with it on the upper lashline..and connected it to the lower lashline..and used the black Colossal Kajal on the waterlines..

And an FOTD :p

Pros:

1. Nice bright summer color.

2. I like the fuss free, travel packaging as the black kajal..with the metallic blue script.

3. Pops up the eyes.

4. Is smooth to use…no tugging.

5. Stays for 6-7 hours on the upper lashline.

6. Does not smudge or flake.

Cons:

1. Not that pigmented..needs to be layered.

2. Does not stay longer on the lower lashline.

Overall, I would say its a nice refreshing change from the usual blacks and browns..also this bright blue is actually perfect for summers for popping up the eyes. Definitely worth a try !

New 36 Hours Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Smudge proof and water proof for 36 hours and comes with a unique tip brush
Intense Color. 36 Hour Wear. Now gel reinvents eyeliner.

MRP: Rs. 450/- for 2.5 g

Why You’ll Love It

•Only our oil-free formula can hold highly concentrated pigments in a clear gel base.
•So color is more intense and lines resist wear for hours.
•Smudge-proof and Water-proof.
•The most intense line for lasting drama.

Ingredients:

Expert Tip
Use gel liner and begin at the inner eye. Extend along lash line, continuing up towards the brow.

Check out more details HERE

The all new improved version of Maybelline Gel Liner is out..with the old one being discontinued now..

I have used the old one too..it comes in a glass jar and the new one is in a plastic jar..the old one was priced at Rs.375/- for 2.8g. Read the previous one’s review HERE

The old one was more gel like..this one feels a little creamier..this one is anyday more dark and intense..It stays longer too..I have obviously not tried it for 36 hours..did anyone do ? :p But it stays for around 10 hours and then fades a little on my super oily lids..on the waterline, it stays for 4-5 hours. Does not smudge much or give raccoon eyes.

It gives a glossy look at the start and then settles to a matte finish.

The brush that comes along is almost the same as previous one..just a bit denser..I wish it was two sided with a very fine brush on one end..coz this brush does not help with fine lines or just defining..it gives thick lines..and is perfect for winged liner.

Here is the swatch..see how dark it is..


And here it is on me..

Pros: 

1. Glides on super smooth without any tugging or pulling.
2. Super dark and intense..jet black. 
2. It is long lasting and smudge proof as it claims..it stays on whole day without smudging or fading much even on oily lids. 
4. Gives a nice matte finish.
5. It helps in getting that perfect winged liner look too. 
6. Its perfect for tightlining the eyes. 
7. It dries quickly and hence does not smear or spread. 
8. Comes with a brush along.

Cons: 

1. I would have liked more colors. 
2. The brush is a little dense for fine lines..a two sided brush would have been perfect. 
3. Its not meant to be used on waterline..irritates the eye a little.

Overall I would say I love how deep and dark it is..and once dried, it gives a nice matte finish and stays put come what may..my hand swatch did not go away even after multiple times rubbed hard. It stays for 10+ hours even on oily lids. And perfect for winged liners..Highly recommended.

Elle 18 Makeup Range Review, Swatches, FOTD

I had mentioned about the all new Elle 18 Makeup range HERE. Today I am doing a short review and look with the new Elle 18 range..

The Glow Foundation 

An every-day silky delicate texture foundation with SPF 8 and fragments of a gentle moisturizer that blends into your  skin to give a bright radiant finish and is available in 4 shades. The glow foundation is your instant beauty fix right before your class presentation, college fest or even a simple party in the evening. 

Price: Rs. 150 (30 ml) Shades: Pearl, Coral, Marble and Shell

The foundation comes in a tube packaging..its easy to use and carry along..and blends really well..the coverage is sheer though..more like a tinted moisturiser..I got the shade Shell which is slightly yellow and darker for me..but on blending, it did not look dark or yellow..I think its pretty good for daily use..and at 150 bucks, I am not complaining.

Rating: 3.5/5

The Glow Compact 

The Matte Compact is slim and easy to carry and it smoothens and moisturizes the skin at the same time protecting it from pollution. Whether it’s a party you are excited to go to or the college fest you want to be part of, the Glow Compact gives you that extra ‘oomph’ to dazzle everyone with your radiance. 

Price: Rs. 150 (9 gm) Shades: Pearl, Coral, Marble and Shell

I think this is the highlight if this range..the compact comes with a mirror and powder puff..and 9g is super huge qty and at a humble price of Rs.150/- ! It is silky, smooth in texture and keeps the skin matte. I got the shade Marble which suits me perfectly..and covers up for the slightly darker foundation when layered..I did highly recommend this ! Does not pinch your pockets at all and does its job amazingly well.

Rating: 4.5/5

The Juicy Lip Balm 

A lip balm is the quintessential beauty must have for the young woman of today.  The Elle 18 Juicy Balm is a non-sticky balm with Vitamin E, Olive, oil and Jojoba oil to ensure nourishing, soft and smooth lips.  The juicy lip balm is the perfect combination of colour and care to ensure you have lip smacking pouts always. 

Price: Rs. 110 (9 ml) Shades: Pink, Red, Mauve, Berry, Beige and Peach 

I got the shade Juicy Berry..it comes in a tube packaging with a slanted applicator..Juicy Berry is a nice coral pink shade..it comes up sheer..but does moisturise the lips well..good for some color and moisturisation in winters..since its in liquid form, it makes the lips look all luscious and juicy..I only wish it was a little more pigmented.


Rating: 3.75/5

The Elle 18 Colour Pop Liner 

Four new exciting shades have been added to the Colour Pop range to ensure that you never face a dull day in college. Brighten your eyes with these magnificent tones and wink your way to an A on your next assignment. 

Price: Rs. 75 (5 ml) Shades: Green, Brown, Grey and Blue

It comes in a small round glass bottle..just like the nail paints and eyeliner..which they have previously too. The bristles of the brush are not even and that makes application a little difficult..and its quiet sheer and needs a lot of layering for it to show up properly..pretty ok..good for someone who wants to try different colored liquid liners on a budget !


Rating: 3/5

Here are all the four products together..

I did a look with them..and I am quite surprised by the outcome..coz it looked pretty good..this can also be a look using only 5 products..I used the above four Elle 18 products and just some kohl on the waterline..thats it..

I love how the range is super affordable..and perfect for college going girls ! Beauty on a budget ? Check out Elle 18..I am sure you would love some of these..

I hope you liked the look..and do let me know which Elle 18 product is your favorite ? I think I would go with the compact, followed by the Lip balm..what about you ?

BeautyUK Eye Pencils Review, Swatches, EOTD

BeautyUK Eye Pencils Review, Swatches, EOTD

I had mentioned about the new BeautyUK eye pencils range launch HERE


BeautyUK Simply Define Eyebrow pencil

What the Company claims: This year it’s all about the brows and these puppies are just what the doctor ordered. Perfectly weighted with a wooden body and defining brow brush, these richly pigmented pencils are the ideal artistic tools to create your defining eye look.

Available in grey, dark brown, auburn and ash brown – all at £1.99


I have the dark brown one which is perfect for our brows..it comes with a lash comb on the cap..I think its very good for travel..and when you do not have the time to carry your brow powder, wax, etc…this would ease your job..stiff enough for eyebrows..convenient to use and carry along..and cost effective too..


 Long lasting twist eyeliner


What the Company claims: Featuring an integrated sharpener to keep things perfectly precise at all times, these long lasting, intensely pigmented pencils give full control and ultimate definition that won’t fade when you need it most.

Available in black, dark brown, grey, navy blue – all at £2.49

Its a twist up pencil with a sharpener on one end..I have the one in dark brown..its a reddish deep brown..it glides well, does not tug or pull and the color is pigmented too..but staying power again is average..


Jumbo double ended pencil

What the Company claims: A revelation in style and convenience – these dual use pencils give black eye liner precision on one end with a sumptuous smoothie of creamy, metallic eye shadow on the other. Ideal companions to take anywhere and create a seductive pop of colour to the eyes. These work perfectly as a base for building eye shadow to create your desired look.

Available in black/white, black/ grey, black/ beige, black/ turquoise – all at £2.99



I have the black/beige..the eyshadow is super creamy..its a coppery pink beige..and the eyeliner is thin tipped and rich jet black..both glide on super easily and are easy to use..make a good two minute eyeshadow..the only issue is the eyeshadow hardly stays..especially in hot humid weather..it just vanishes away..and the eyeliner also does not stay long on the waterline..though longer on the upper lashline..



I have used all three for an EOTD

Overall I would say these are good for daily use..and quite economical and travel friendly..I only wish they stayed longer..I am not impressed by their staying power..

Available at Superdrug and www.beautyukcosmetics.com

Maybelline Hyper Glossy Runway Pop Liquid Liner Tangerine Orange Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: It’s hot off the runway… and guess what? It’s easy to wear every day.

Dare to wear the glossiest vinyl line in the latest fashion shades this season!

Available in 3 shades: Tangerine Orange, Khaki and Teal Blue

MRP: Rs.350/- for 3g

Maybelline Hyper Glossy Black Liquid Liner is already quite a hit all over the blogosphere..now they are back with colored Hyper Glossy Liquid Liners !

They have the same black packaging..but with a colored edge and POP written on the handle..

The brush is normal liquid one..I would have preferred felt tip..but actually this brush is quite nice too and works well..

T:2-3 swipes, B: 1 swipe

Tangerine Orange is a bright metallic orange with gold shimmer.

It is not a shade one wears in day to day life obviously..in fact its the first time I came across an orange eyeliner..but quite apt for the spring ! When paired with some contrasting eye shadows, would look pretty good..It claims to be water proof and smudge proof..water proof it is not..and stays for 4-5 hours..and then starts flaking off…

And I am not too happy with the color getting on my lashes too 🙁 Coz orange becomes too obvious on the lashes.


Here is it on me..

Pros:

1. Long sleek handle…quite easy to use.
2. Brush is nice and sleek.
3. Travel friendly.
4. Economical.
5. Gives full opaque coverage in two swipes.
6. Nice glossy finish.
7. Perfect spring shade..no other brand in India has an orange eyeliner.

Cons:

1. Is not water proof as claimed.
2. Flakes off after 4-5 hours.
3. Gets on lashes.

Overall I do like this opaque formula..and nice sleek brush..and the glossy finish it gives..plus offers some amazing shades..I surely want to check out Khaki..I am a huge khaki fan..only wished it lasted more and did not flake off..I surely recommend this if you into bright colored liners..

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5
Value for money: 3.75/5
Availability: 3.75/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: Maybe the khaki..
