Well, Maybelline has come up with a Valentine Special Edition again..and let me tell you, the box has even more awesome stuff..
My favorite Color Tattoo and their very recent launch Lip Polish. And the Colossal Kajal, Hypercurl Mascara and the Color Show Nail Paint are still there as in the previous box.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, Maybelline New York has put together an extravagant spread of products in our Limited Edition InstaGlam Box.The InstaGlam Box contains a variety of Maybelline’s hottest products, in a single box!
I loved the pink box with a heart..super cute packaging !
It contains the Colossal Kajal, Color Show Nail Color, Hypercurl Mascara, Color Tattoo and our newest best selling product, Lip Polish. 
Furthermore we even have 3 color variants – Red, Pink and Coral!

Play Secret Santa with Maybelline New York India- Maybelline InstaGlam Box

Since Christmas is almost round the corner, Maybelline New York is introducing the InstaGlam Box. It’s a special edition make-up box with a twist. The InstaGlam Box contains a variety of Maybelline’s hottest products,in a single box. The products being : Cheeky Glow Blush, Color Sensational Moisture Extreme Lipstick, Color Show Nail Color,Hyperglossy Runway POP Liner, Hyper Curl Volume Express Mascara and our all-time favourite Colossal Kajal. The box is available in 3 different shade combinations, i.e Red, Pink and Coral.

New Maybelline Colossal Kajal and Maybelline Hypercurl Waterproof Mascara is common in all the boxes..

I got the red box and it has Creamy Cinammon Cheeky Glow Blush, Keep Up the Flame Maybelline Color Show nail enamel, Turquoise Blue Hyperglossy Liquid Liner and Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick in Burgundy.

The lipsticks can be of any color from the red, pink , coral family..Blush any out of the 3, Hyperglossy liner any out of the two and nail paint is red, pink and coral.

This Limited Edition InstaGlam Box worth Rs.1250/- is going to be available on all leading e-commerce portals at just Rs. 1000/-.

I really love this idea..its a perfect gift for anyone..and the box is quite nice too..with that christmas tree look..and the whole red color..plus all 6 products at a discounted price..at a price of 1000 where you get only one MAC lipstick, here you are getting 6 products..I think any girl (your girlfriend/wife/fiancee/bff if you are a guy) you gift such a box to, would be extremely happy..as it covers almost everything..

What do you think ? Do you like this idea ?

New Maybelline 12H Colossal Kajal Review, Swatches
I had reviewed the Maybelline Colossal Kajal previously HERE. Now they have relaunched it in a darker and more long staying form..the previous one claimed 6 hours of wear and this one claims 12 hours..

Read on to know how it fares..

What the Company claims:

MRP: Rs.175/- for 0.35g

The packaging is the same..the same yellow swivel up mechanical pencil. Its nice, rich black and easy to apply..does not tug or pull.

Thats the whole qty

I did not like the previous one much..as it did not stay longer on my watery eyes..in fact no kohl stays longer than 2-3 hours on me..

But but this one did ! For almost 5-6 hours which is a very good thing considering my watery eyes. But it does smudge a little more than the previous one..that did not spread around giving raccoon eyes..this one does at times..

Here is the swatch..

L: Swatch R: After smudging

And on eyes..

Before, After

Pros:

1. Its nice dark black.
2. Glides on nicely..no tugging or pulling.
3. Reasonably priced.
4. Stays for 5-6 hours on my watery eyes ! Thats a long time for me 😀
5. It does not go away completely leaving your eyes bare..and there is always a hint of it till the time you remove it.
6. Does not smear much..the swatch did not budge from the hand.

Cons:

1. Claim of 12 hours..I am not really sure about.
2. No Ingredients mentioned.
3. Does give raccoon eyes at times..especially when eyes watery.

Rating:

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 4/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..I am pretty impressed by the staying power of this..much better than the previous one..

It comes in a light brown see through packaging with a slide across lower compartment which has a mirror and stores a puff..amazingly designed..it sure deserves the most well thought of compact powder title..
The powder is very finely milled and super soft..it blends into the skin easily..and does not look cakey or any obvious effect..the puff is different..made of sponge..and picks up the right qty and goes over well on the face..but it gives light coverage.
As claimed, it actually is mattifying..it gives a completely matte look..and is a boon for oily skinned girls..I generally use it on my T zone..
The shade Sand Medium is a perfect match for me..
Pros:
1. Amazingly designed..this is perfect to carry along anywhere.
2. Super finely milled powder..blends well
3. Gives a completely matte finish.
4. Four shades to choose from.
5. 9g is a lot of quantity.
Cons:
1. Dry skin may find it too matte.
Overall I would highly recommend this to oily skinned girls..this is the answer to your prayers :p For dry skinned, do check it out at the counters first..I am combination..and I use it mostly on my T zone and for touch ups and love it..
