I've been on the lookout for a good quality jet black eyeliner and had pretty much made up my mind about buying Milani Liquiefye eye pencil in black... but after it being out of stock on almost all major international sellers I finally decided to pick up something locally from India.
After checking out everything from Revlon, L'oreal ,Inglot, Lakme` etc etc I'd shortlisted Bourjois Khol in Blackest Black and Maybelline Colossal Kajal pencil.So after a zillion swatches & going back & forth I finally picked the Maybelline Colossal Kajal.
You might wonder why would I chose this relatively humble Kajal over other more fancier khol pencils? Well for starters I found Maybelline Colossal Mascara to be one of the best in the market & had similar expectation from the Colossal Kajal Pencil.
Secondly this one is a retractable tube, which though contans lesser product but no sharpening means a ready sharpend tip always and no product wastage.
But the deal clincher was the fact that while rest of the liners smudged easily this one held its ground.Plus its comes at a bargain basement price of INR 150/- (for 0.35 grams-yup the quantity is too low for the price)
The product is extremely well pigmented,smudge resistant & claims to stay put for 6 hours. I actually put it to test & I've been wearing it for over & hours now its still in place.
I quite like this Kajal pencil & yes would re-purchase.Its available at all Maybelline counters across India.
Scroll down to see the swatches. If you've used this do let me know your experience.
P.S.- New U outlets have a combo offer -15% discount on purchasing Colossal Mascara + Kajal together.

I have also read some not so good opinions about this so still not sure whether i should get this or not...
ReplyDeletewhats ur skin type BTW
Hi Meenu- I've combination skin-normal skin on the face & oily on my T zone. I'm dusky skinned and don't have any sensitivity related issues.Colossal Kajal is a long wearing kajal with intense black pigments and works well on upper lash line & stays on waterline for 6-7 hours without causing any irritation.So I'd say go ahead & give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteHi UV, thanks for taking time out to comment & liking my blog,really appreciate it :)
ReplyDeleteLove your new white Mango Jean you are totally rocking those1
I love your blog's name always remind me of college days when we'd sing 'Karma Chameleon' off key..
"Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green."
Hello..hope am not too late for a comment,happened to see this post just now. I must agree with you,Maybelline Collosal Kajal is the best I have used so far,its super dark and does not budge or smudge at all(it lasted for more than 8 hours in my case). Am very happy with the product and repurchase it,even though I do think the price is a bit too much for the quantity supplied.
ReplyDelete& yes am following you!! :D

Swarnali -Hey I mailed you, check out faces eyeliners,those are my current favorites
ReplyDeletedoes it last on the waterline,both the upper and lower??
ReplyDeleteAnonymous- Yes it lasts in 7-8 hours on my waterline (both upper & lower) though if you are looking for a creamier, smudge proof long wearing kohl I'd also recommend Faces eyeliner in black
ReplyDeleteyupps..i have used this..very trustworthy and a regular in my make up pouch!!

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you didn't like it, for me it worked out great. Which kajal do you use?

This product is really aowsum...but in Bangladesh its price is too much 450 Bdt..
ReplyDeleteOMG that does sound quite high for colossal kajal, but I do like the product a lot :)
DeletePlz let me noh if its a good product to buy? all i mean to ask is ... Is this product really gives you a deep black line ?
ReplyDeleteIf you are looking for a good quality kajal on a budget this is really awesome the pigmentation is good, I've already finshed 3 of these and am on my 4 th colossal kajal, I'd reccommend

Deletemaybelline collosal has really upset me for a particular reason.. i mean i just love the smudgre free thing, the darkness and all, but this is my third stick and the same prob of the stick either not retracting back once up or stuck inside n not coming up..when i bought the 1st cud use it for jus a week’s time as the pncil broke when i tried to check its length.. 2nd time the stick wont go back in once popped up a bit too more,, third time i was a bit careful,, i din open it up that much,, lasted for jus 2 months n now the stick is stuck n the kajal wont come out,, goes back in n comes til just the surface,, but doesn come out at all.. i keep rotating the stick in loops but just doent come out,, m so fed up of this,,if this faulty pencil rotation is fixed i have no problems with collosal..any1 else facing same prob let me know,,n also let me know if u could fix it.
