L'OREAL PARIS KAJAL MAGIQUE- SWATCHES & REVIEW



























0.35 g for INR 245


L'oreal Paris Says: - Get over ordinary kajals, L’Oreal Paris Kajal Magique – the queen of kajals has arrived. Step into the spotlight and let your eyes do the talking.

** Supreme black - A new generation formula! Powered with mineral pigments for deep intense colour.

** Extraordinary Care - Kajal Magique is formulated with care ingredients and gives a soothing feeling. Enriched with Vitamin E, Cocoa Butter, Olive Oil Esters and Vitamin C Derivative.

** Smudge-Proof for up to 12H

** Non Transfer

** Waterproof


Ingredients: - Not Listed






























My Opinion: - Kajals are a staple in my vanity, I need many kajals, all for different purposes. Some I like for lining my lid, some for the waterline, some for smokey eyes etc etc. I love kajals and I keep on purchasing new ones every now and than. The kajal in question today is Loreal Paris Kajal Magique, a recent launch from Loreal Paris. I used it for a month straight and it now its over. So here I am with the review. The packaging is hot pink and black, sleek and girly, I would rather call it stylish. The plastic slim pencil is black with a hot pink band on its cap and pink fonts on its body. The kajal pencil is retractable so no product is wasted while sharpening and the cap shuts tightly so its travel friendly :)




























                        The tip is soft and the formula is creamy, glides on my eyelids without the "tugging & pulling". As claimed by the brand as "Supreme Black", its actually not very well pigmented and also its sets in to a matte powdery finish. I need 2 swipes on my lids and at least 3 swipes on my waterline for intense black rimmed eyes. I refrain from applying pressure on the tip while swiping it on my skin because its quite soft and the tip might break. The pigmentation is not good enough, its not intense black and I wouldn't be able to call it the blackest black. It is more of a smokey dull black, so I love to do smokey eyes with this one.
























                         Now coming to this kajal's staying power, it lasts on my upper (oily) lid for a good 7 hours with minimum smudges at the outer corners. On my waterline, this kajal stays for 4 hours and starts to wear off and gets trapped on my lower lash line. Since my lids are oily, the kajal disappoints me when it sticks to my crease. Also another disappointment is that it gets accumulated on the inner corners of my eyes like cheap kajals. The kajal pencil's tip does not give thin precise line after 2-3 uses, it becomes blunt and the lines are thicker. It does not wash off with a regular face wash, a creamy cleanser or plain old Almond oil does clean it off properly. You can as well use an eye makeup remover if you want to.
























Pros:


* Affordable  and Easily Available

* Retractable so no product wastage

* Travel friendly as the cap shuts tight

* Waterproof

* Comes with the goodness of Olive Oil, Cocoa Butter, Vitamins C & E

* Stays on upper lid for 7 long hours
























Cons:


* 12H smudge-proof is a very tall claim but its false

* It is not supreme black as suggested by the brand, atleast 3 swipes are required to get a dark black line on the waterline

* Complete ingredient list is not given, though a few are made known

* The tip becomes blunt and does not give thin precise lines

* Its a matte kajal and sets in to a powdery look (might be a pro for many)










                       I rate Loreal Paris Kajal Magique 4.25 out of 5, as it does not perform any better on me than Lakme Eyeconic Kajal and Maybelline Colossal Kajal. I like glossy and very black kajals and this one is a dull black. Girls go and grab it if you don't expect so much from a mere kajal like I do. For the upper lid staying power and aiding smokey look, yes I like it a lot.



Hope you enjoyed my review, do leave behind your precious comments and share with us experiences with Kajals. Thank you and have a great evening :)

The occasion was hosted to announce Sunsilk as the

official hair expert partner of the movie ‘2 States’

with the launch of #Sunsilkdreamjob campaign

& introduction of exclusive movie merchandize packs
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mumbai, March 28, 2014: Sunsilk, India’s premium hair care brand announced a one-of-its kind collaboration as the partner of Nadiadwala & Dharma Production’s produced upcoming Bollywood movie ‘2 States’, an Indian Romantic Drama film based on the 2009 novel of the same name written by Chetan Bhagat.

The film is a story about a journey of one young couple from their college love phase to marriage, starring Arjun Kapoor as ‘Krish Malhotra’, a typical fun loving Punjabi boy and Alia Bhatt as ‘Ananya Subramaniam’, a stunningly smart yet a cultured girl from a Tamil- Brahmin family. It is a humorous take on inter community marriages in India.

The movie is in collaboration with the leading hair-care expert, Sunsilk; a brand that has always stood for a ‘now or never’ attitude. The brand has associated with the character ‘Ananya’ within the film with perfect fit. Full of optimism and gusto, Ananya believes in facing challenges with a smile. Ready to bag her dream job as a Sunsilk brand manager in the film, she fears nothing. She mirrors a typical Sunsilk girl’s personality- a dynamic and an optimistic girl who wants to chart her own course.

The occasion witnessed the launch of a ‘2 States’– centric Sunsilk Natural Recharge TV commercial introducing the exclusive campaign. In addition, the lead pair of the movie – Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt also unveiled the contest and exclusive merchandize in front of the media.

For 20-something single girls, hair is often an emotional rollercoaster. Sunsilk understands this and provides a complete hair care solution that gives a 20 something girl the confidence to express herself. On this occasion the brand launched its new variant Sunsilk Natural Recharge association within the film along with its exclusive movie merchandize packs for an online contest ‘Sunsilk Dream Job’.

Speaking at the event, Srinandan Sundaram, General Manager- Hair care at Hindustan Unilever Ltd, said, “We are very excited to associate with 2 States, the next big blockbuster of the year. This movie is a perfect fit for us since it truly embodies what our brand stands for. It was unique for us as our partnership stands strong right from within the film’s storyline via the main female lead- Ananya. Sunsilk celebrates a 20 something girl’s confidence to express herself. Therefore to further engage with our consumers, we are also launching an exciting ‘Sunsilk Dream Job’ digital campaign that would run parallel to the movie. The idea is to get four regular aspiring girls a chance to live their dream job. Actress, Stylist or VJ - whatever their dream jobs might be, Sunsilk and Ananya will work together to make it happen. We are confident that this partnership will bring more excitement for our consumers.”

Commenting on the association, Apoorva Mehta, CEO- Dharma Productions said, “Sunsilk & Dharma Productions are two huge brands that receive immense respect for their premium quality products! For a young and fresh film like 2 States, it was important for us to only partner with a brand that would perfectly fit with the young attitude and expression of the lead characters, played by Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. We couldn't have found a better fit than Sunsilk that would reflect best with the confident and attractive personality of Ananya, the lead female character played by Alia. It also helps that hair plays a big role for us in showcasing her personality transformation from her college days to a professional! So this association is no doubt an apt coming together of two quality brands in a unique way!”



Highlighting this unique collaboration, Amin Lakhani, leader, South Asia, Team Unilever, Mindshare, said, “This movie partnership brings us immense pride both for its uniqueness and detailing. It is our constant endeavour to offer our client unique media opportunities to connect their brands to the passion point of its target consumer.
