Maybelline Colossal kohl in Turquoise – review, swatch and EOTD

By Tarry 

Hola Lovelies….

Hmmm… waiting for 16^th May! Do you really believe ‘Achchhe din aane wale hain” ? Well, A side of me does, because changes are always welcomed. But there is another side which is worried too. Why! Reasons aplenty…

Anyways, this isn’t a forum for me to vent out my political anger and I will ofcourse not do it. I did my first ever eyeup tute and EOTD on the blog recently and was really overwhelmed by the love everyone showered on it. I am planning atleast two more in the series but would be able to do them over the weekend only. So do stay tuned.

Coloured eye pencils are a big fascination for me and when Maybelline launched the colossal kohl in turquoise, I immediately bought it without any second thoughts. This is a lovely colour and if you all remember, my first tute was done using this only.

I have been using it from the past one week and now, am ready to share my love with you.

So presenting today ladies, the lovely

On the outside :

The colossal range has a bright yellow packaging (reminds me so much of the awesome Kolkata taxis J This one too is no exception. But unlike Lakme, Maybelline is smarter. The yellow pencil casing has a bright turquoise blue ribbon like design with the same colour lettering. So no confusion between the black kajal and this one.  It is a retractable pencil and the case is quite sturdy too.

On the inside :

I love the texture of this liner, although it is also a con. It is very creamy and smooth. Despite being a shimmery liner, it does not have a gritty feeling. The pencil glides well, and a little extra pressure can result in the tip breaking so one has to be extra careful. The colour is a lovely turquoise that can be used as a kajal, an eye liner and even an eye shadow. It smudges well to become an eyeshadow, although one needs to be really quick. Once is sets, on the upper lash it stays for some 8 hours, while on the lower lashline and waterline, it stays for 4 hours. It is sumdgeproof and waterproof.
