MRP: Rs. 480/- for 0.28g
Its a twist up mechanical pencil..which only twists up but not down again..so one has to be very careful to not twist it up much..or else you would not be able to close the cap or squash it ruining the whole thing.
It comes in 6 colors and all have their own colored outer packaging with flowers designed on it.
If I had to review it in short…jet black, super pigmented, glides like butter, stays put the whole day, smudge free !!

After rubbing many times
Water test
I guess half of the people have had it at that ! This is the first eye pencil that stays put for a long time on me..though not on the waterline..nothing stays there on me, more than 2-3 hours..on the lower lash line…this thing stays put !
And here is how it looks on me..
Pros:
1. Super duper pigmented.
2. Jet black as I like.
3. It does not smudge and stays put on my lower lash line the whole day.
4. I use it on my waterline too..and it does not sting or irritate.
5. Super soft and glides like butter..just one stroke is enough.
6. Shelf life of 3 years.
Cons:
1. As its a twist up liner, it would not go back and one has to be careful in using it…and you would never know the exact quantity.
2. It has a thick tip and cannot be used on the upper lash line.
3. It sets super fast..so neither can you use it for smokey eyes and nor is it easy correcting mistakes with this once it sets..
4. A little expensive for 0.28g
Overall I do like it coz it stays put..the only problem is I cannot use it on my upper lash line as I do not prefer thick lines..but for lower lash line..I am loving it.

I am reviewing the shade Foxy Brown..its a reddish brown color..such color look nice especially on the lower lash line..they do not look harsh yet give a defined look to the eyes. Katrina Kaif generally uses a reddish brown liner on her lower lash line.

Its a retractable pencil with brown packaging and a golden cap. Its not very soft but not too hard too..kinda ok..similar to the Maybelline Unstoppable in texture. It does not glide on super easy and you might need 2-3 swipes for the color to show up properly especially on warm skin tones.

Pros:

1. Retractable pencil..you can see the quantity available.
2. Economically priced.
3. A soft shade for everyday use.
4. 10 colors to choose from…and are mostly browns..so if you are a fan of browns or want some exact brown which you not finding anywhere..you can check out these.

Cons:

1. Its not so soft and does not glide on easily.
2. Needs 2-3 swipes for the color to show up.
3. Not available everywhere. You can buy it here

Overall a decent pencil. And good for the price…but not super soft.I would like to try the darker shades in it like Wine or Blue.
