I hope you missed me :P

PROS

  • Very sleek , Gives a luxurious feel 
  • Very thoughtful packaging , has pencil on one side while a *useful* smudger on the other
  • Consistency is just right, neither too hard (Colorbar I define pencils) nor too soft (Colorbar I glide on )
  • Lasts a good time
  • Its really black , Not the blackest black, but its black enough
  • Its is really smudgeproof ( However you can smudge it within 10 seconds of application) and sweatproof !( I survived a whole day on Mumbai's Humid weather and I tell you, I sweat like a Pig !)
  •  I can ell it will last for a good 3-4 months with daily application 
CONS

  • Expensive for a kohl, but its a luxury brand and judging from that prespective , I think its decently priced. So its a great SPLURGE :)

    Will I buy it again ?
    YES , I have been using it since 2 weeks in adverse weather conditions ( read Pune, Mumbai, Delhi) and can tell that this baby is for keeps, Just waiting to use it for some more weeks to finally proclaim it my HG :D

    DO I recommend it ?
    Yes, Totally !

    Stay pretty :)

    1. Glad you did the review. I soooooo want to buy it now.:) And you know I realized that estee lauder is still affordable even though it's a luxury brand. I find Lancome very expensive even though the products are of high quality. Still....

      If you like this then let me do a EL mascara review for you soon. i am sure you'll like that a well. :)

      How did the GD Pis go?

    4. @Rati - I know and I'm loving this pencil these days ! Will love to see a review on new EL mascara :)
      @Ki- Yeah , I'm also planning to get some Bourjois pecils soon :)
      @T - :)
      I'm still 18 , so I applied for BBA Law course. Not in Mumbai, Just applied for Symbiosis and toured Mumbai :)
      GD/PI's were amazing ! The interviewers were very forthcoming and the atmosphere was relaxing.
      But anyways , I'm gonna stay in Delhi,so these GD/PI's were good confident boosters :)

    9. I've never tried this myself, but if it passes the heat/humidity test, then it should withstand just about anything! :)
