Best kohls to go for this season

Over centuries we have seen Asian women flaunting their beautiful eyes with tons of kajal, or kohl, as we call it. However a lot of girls have questioned about the best of all, which is smudge free, lasts longer and obviously looks dramatic! Following is a list of kajals that i recommend to use for your desired results.


1-LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL: Apart from the wordplay in the kajal’s name, this one is also known because it’s endorsed by Kareena Kapoor. It claims to have a wear time of 10 hours and is smudge-proof. It is also waterproof.  Though not much is known about the water-proof claims, it does stay on my lids for more than 8 hours unless I wipe it off with makeup remover.  Lakme is also the brand that introduced colored kajal. While their white iconic stick may be a little too bright for desi tones (a nude /beige pencil suits desi tones better ) , the brown, green, blue and grey look good on medium tones.  The grey from this range works great for simple smokey makeup and is a lot less dramatic than black.

2- MAYBELLINE COLOSSAL KAJAL: This is probably the best budget kajal available.  I say that with conviction because, not only is this kajal a huge crowd pleaser, it also offers the blackest black finish and has a dark matte finish (similar to bourjois kohl). Put simply, this is the best kajal to pick up on your next trip to India.  Maybelline recently released a turquoise blue in the same range that received rave reviews.

3-LOTUS HERBALS NATURAL KAJAL: This one comes with extracts of licorice ,almond and camphor. Since it is all-natural, it’s actually good for your eyes and lashes.  Texture-wise, the quality isn’t as great as a few others mentioned here. It does smudge and also is packaged more like a chubby stick than a kajal (reminiscent of lakme’s original satin kajal).  It is quite pigmented though and comes reasonably priced. Great for smudging.

4- L'OREAL KAJAL MAGIQUE: Loreal’s Magique comes in a retractable pen packing. The name seems almost french and the product is endorsed by brand ambassador Aishwariya Rai. So many cosmetic companies try to outdo each other with longer staying claims of their products today, and Loreal has jumped on the bandwagon claiming this product stays for about 12 hours!  The kajal stick itself glides on easily and stays smudge proof for long hours. It does however, not deliver as black a finish as Colossal Kaajal .  This might not be your best pick for outlining your waterline as it requires a couple of swipes to get a nicely pigmented finish.

5-SHAHNAZ HUSSAIN HERBAL KAJAL: Think authentic herbal products ,and Shahnaz Hussain can never be out of the picture. This kajal has some form of minty smell to it and gives a nice cooling effect when applied. It doesn’t irritate the eyes and has that nice old world kajal charm to it.  It comes in a lipstick shaped tube and does require sharpening after a point.  It is a little overpriced considering the packaging, functionality and brand value of the product.

10 best BB creams for winters

Hey guys! So winters are at its peak and most of us are complaining of too dry or too oily skin in this weather. (well most of us for the dry skin),. BB creams made their debut in 2011 and quickly conquered the beauty world. Most of the scholars believe that it basically stands for "blemish balm" or "beauty balm", but the general consensus is that they should provide moisturisation, SPF protection , and and sheer coverage alongside soothing and healing properties- preventing the need for numerous several products. With the addition of hyaluronic acid and anti oxidants, they help regenerate skin.

 I have sorted out the 10 best BB creams that can be used confidently in winters.

1- MAYBELLINE DREAM PURE BB: With 2 percent salicylic acid,this superlightweight BB moonlights as a serious acne fighter. The sheer tint spreads so easily that you can apply it without a mirror, and it dries to a soft, almost powdery, matte finish.

2- ESTEE LAUDER CLEAR DIFFERENCE COMPLEXION PERFECTING BB CREAM: First, let's give props to this BB cream for being available in three shades, including one for dark skin tones. Then let's move on to the fact that it has salicylic acid (to exfoliate and clear pores) and SPF 35, andis oil- and fragrance-free (great news for all you sensitive types). Layer it under your normal foundation for added shine control or wear it alone for the perfect I'm-not-trying-too-hard weekend coverage.

3- OLAY TOTAL EFFECTS PORE MINIMIZING CC CREAM: With a brightening, pearlescent finish, this certainly isn't your typical mattifying do-all cream (and fine, it's technically a CC cream). The oil-free formula contains niacinamide to exfoliate and reduce the look of pores, and it left our tester's skin glow-y, not shiny.

4- DIOR: Dior's original BB cream was created for the Asian market, and their new formulation caters for a rosier skin tone. The 3 shades feature SPF10 protection, hydrarting properties and formula which adapts to suite your skin tone. 

5-  NO. 07: With seperate formulations for dry, normal and oily skin,  NO.07 offers a nutrient rich formula to help prevent blemishes as well as SPF 15 protection, and a light, easy to apply texture, 

6- GARNIER BB CREAM MIRACLE SKIN PERFECTER FOR OILY TO COMBINATION SKIN: This lightweight tint is a heavyweight when it comes to benefits: Mattifying minerals keep oil at bay for hours, the coverage is just enough to conceal imperfections, and the oil-free hydrators keep skin smooth. And at less than $10, it's a total steal.

7- L'OREAL PARIS MAGIC SKIN BEAUTIFIER IN ANTI REDNESS: This BB is green. Like, Shrek green. But when you start to blend it into your skin, it transforms to a warm, yellowish shade that's billed as universal but looks best on medium skin tones that are prone to flushing. Just a few dabs on our tester's perpetually rosy cheeks instantly neutralized her redness. And it feels just as light on bare skin as any daytime moisturizer.

8- RIMMEL: Affordable, blendable, light weight, mattifying, concealing. if you want your products to work hard on you, this is what you should get. 

9- SHU UEMURA: This mousse formulation is as light as air, but provides good coverage, an impressively matte finish and SPF 30 protection. Best of all, it covers blemishes better than other light weight formulations,

10- REN: This truely multi-functional cream has anti-aging ingredients , SPF 15, and anti oxidant protection and a non oily finish. And that's as well as offering decent, medium coverage, making it a good alternative for foundation lovers.
