ShyCheeeks Experience

Ahemm.. the description of this baby intrigues me!
This Kajal comes in a BRIGHT yellow retractable pencil form..The Bright color looks pretty cool and stands out in my makeup stash
the retractable pencil is pretty big, i swatched it and loved the color BUT the then i checked how much product is actually present inside..the quantity was disappointing :(
The thin stick of kajal is only about 2 inch long! 

Being a retractable pencil has its own pros and cons
Pro point would be not wasting any product by sharpening the pencil again and again..and here comes the con; because you can't sharpen this, its tip isn't going to be precise enough to create thin lines..But then, i prefer using this as a Kajal on my waterline rather than using it on the eyelids


Oh well, besides that i actually am pretty impressed about the quality here! :)
The Kajal is creamy enough to glide on smoothly, but i won't say its VERY creamy..The pigmentation is great, it gives you a deep dark black line..Even on the waterline!

What i like on the waterline is layering the kajal once, then wait for a while..Do some random stuff, get my eye makeup done or whatever to pass a little time..Then layer the kajal again, this gives an intense black line on the waterline :)

The texture is more of a matte-finish..As described, it stayed on my waterline for 6 hours straight without fading or smudging on a normal day..Oh Yes! I applied it in the morning on my waterline, and checked after 6 hours..it was still the same without any smudging..I usually get panda eyes when i apply a regular kajal, i really hate that..But after almost 8 hours of application of this baby, i could see the black color a little faded..but it remained there until i removed it myself at night

I wouldn't say its fully waterproof though, if you have watery eyes this might fade quicker!
It didn't move on my waterline..but the other day when i was cooking, it did fade a little because of my watery eyes when cutting onions..and my watery eyes made it smudge too a bit on my lower eyelids
I think this may not last 6 hours straight on a hot humid climate..Lets just see how it works in the summers, i'll update this post then :)  


Overall, im loving this Kajal for lining my waterline..the quality is very impressive!
I just think the price is a little higher for the quantity of product you're getting
Oh and yes, it didn't irritate my eyes too :)

You can get it for 600-750 PKR from Maybelline's counters or online in Pakistan!



ShyCheeeks Likey!

Whats they Say? Save Your Skin!  Sun damage has become a big part of our lives due to pollution and the environment.

How to stop Nail polish chipping off

Image
Hey there my Sweet Readers! Today's Question was to recommend a good base coat to protect nails, my follower Sidrah.N did try a few but they ended up chipping the nail polish in a day..Her nail polish never lasted long...She has used Sweet Touch and Medora. And she would like to know if there is a top coat that can help keep nail polishes lasting longer?  What i Do  for nails; i really don't use any base coat because i don't apply dark nail polishes, dark nail polishes are more likely to stain your nails..so what i do is just buffer my nails before applying nail color. and make sure i don't put on heavy coats of nail polish..if i apply heavy coats it surely chips off the next day :(  What do you use to make your nail polish last longer? Share your experience, we would love to hear it..and it surely would be helpful to us all! If you want to ask any question, feel free to ask ShyCheeeks..hope i'll be of some help! Will be waiting for your comments/ questions/ opinio...

I get questions from my sweet readers about Beauty and Fashion related stuff..And i thought why not sharing with you guys, so you can also be of some help :) I'll share with you the most frequently asked question today! 'Suggest any good Makeup Brushes available in Pakistan' I would say, try getting your hands on Kryolan Brushes..they use Sable Bristles, which are very soft and perfect for personal and professional makeup application..and i've heard professional salon people call Kryolan brushes comparable to MAC Brushes..I know a kryolan shop in Karachi, i can tell you the address if anyones interested. If you dont want to spend too much on makeup brushes, but you cant compromise the quality, then another option is to go for Luscious Brush Set, they use synthetic bristles for their brushes..i have reviewed it  here  :) What do you guys use and would recommend or ...
