Updated Haircare Routine for HAIRFALL

It usually happens that we tend to spend a lot of time and money in skincare routine and skincare products and totally ignore our hair.

We think that shampooing and conditioning our hair followed with once in a weak oiling is enough of hair. Putting very normal effort for our hair and expecting extraordinary results, don’t you think its a little unfair for our hair. Apart from a regular shampoo and conditioner our hair needs a lot more than that.

A good quality of hair care products is of no use if you apply it in wrong way. So, here I have listed below an outstanding list of quality of product which are tried and tested by me personally and also, I am sharing with you guys the correct method to apply them.

After following this hair care routine, you have will have long, strong and smooth hair. So, get ready to say bye-bye to your hair fall and all your hair problem.

Without and further ado lets dive in the amazing list which is going to give a rebirth to you dull hair into an amazing one.

Tribe Concepts 90-day Miracle Hair Oil

BUY NOW

First, I am going to be talking about hair oils. The first one that I want to introduce you to is the Tribe Concepts 90-day Miracle Hair Oil. This is enriched with sesame, amla, hibiscus and this also has bhringraj in here. The reason why I like this product in fact the reason why I wanted to try this product is because of the age-old recipe that you have here.

It's an ayurvedic blend and it definitely showed results on my hair loss in specific. Not just that it really worked on my dandruff as well. So, from past couple of months I started feeling dry not just on my body but I started to feel a flaky scalp and hair oil was the first thing that I wanted to change. Therefore, I tried this one.

Now from the time I started using this hair oil I saw results after I had used it for at least about four to five weeks so, you have to be patient with these kinds of products. I’ve been using these products for the past almost two months in fact even more and after that I saw results in my case.

If you are having postpartum hair fall, seasonal hair falls or both at the same time then it will take time for the products to show results so, just keeping using it.

This one in my opinion is a great oil if you are suffering from hair fall in specific. Also, what I like about this is it really made my hair a lot softer and a lot more manageable. Overall, it conditioned my hair in a way.

Now the thing that I would want to say about this hair oil or any hair oil is that to make the oil penetrate into your roots. Make sure you warm it up a little bit don't put it in a microwave or don't put it on a gas stove, just take a double boiler and warm up your oils just a little bit in order to give yourself a nice relaxing massage and also for the oils to penetrate better.

Kama Ayurveda Bringadi Thailam

BUY NOW

The second hair oil that I want to talk about is the Kama Ayurveda Bringadi Thailam. It is their intensive hair treatment I have spoken about this hair oil in the past blog as well. Even in the past this helped me get rid of dandruff in specific so if you have itchy scalp or flaky scalp you can definitely go in with this product. It is also a hair oil which conditions your hair very well.

I like to massage my hair oil only in the roots because I feel I don't need it in the length. But if you are someone who likes to put hair oil on the length then that’s totally up to you because this can be conditioning for the hair length as well.

So, the way I was using both the oils is I was using the Tribe Concepts one once a week and the second time I would use the Kama Ayurveda one. Basically, I was alternating between both the oil. This Tribe Concepts one I would say helped me a lot with the seasonal hair fall and the Kama Ayurveda one with dandruff.

So, I would say if you're looking for something that's conditioning on your hair, basically works on hair fall and overall makes your hair a lot more manageable and frizz free I would say go with the Tribe Concepts 90-day Miracle Hair Oil and if you're looking for something in specific for itchy scalp or for dandruff in specific then go in for Kama Ayurveda Bringadi Thailam.

Now let's talk about hair cleansers. Honestly on most days I try and stick to something that is sulfate free or a natural cleanser. But this time around I have been switching between something.

Tribe Concepts Organic Hair Cleanser

BUY NOW

First let's talk about the natural cleanser that I’ve been using. This is the Tribe Concepts Organic Hair Cleanser. This is basically a cleanser which comes in a tin and it is in the powder form so, you have to make a paste and then massage it two to four minutes into your scalp. Don't let it sit like a mask just wash it off rinse off the entire paste and it will cleanse your scalp very effectively.

The reason why I tried this is because of the ingredients. This has soap berries, shikakai, fenugreek and hibiscus. Both fenugreek and hibiscus are great for hair in general. Especially, if you're suffering from hair fall, I would say fenugreek is the best to go whether it's in your hair oil or whether it's in your hair cleansers.

A lot of people make a DIY out of fenugreek seeds and also apply on their hair. This I felt along with the hair oil worked really well on my scalp and overall, I felt that this left my hair a lot softer.  

I am going to talk about the conditioner that I am using because now I’ve moved to using conditioners because my hair had become really dry. But this overall left my hair nice and soft so if I wouldn't apply a conditioner this would still leave my hair fairly soft. Overall, I feel if you're looking for a good natural hair cleanser that is easy to use go for this one.

This you can actually use even up to three times a week. I am a person who like to wash hair not more than twice a week. I try and stick to that routine because I feel if I wash my hair more it really strips the oils of my hair. It tends to become a lot more brittle and drier but this one since it's a natural cleanser has really improved the quality of my hair. I can assure that you can use it up to three times a week as well.

Overall if you're looking for a good natural cleanser that can work on your hair fall as well this is something that I can definitely recommend.

So, I made a little bit of shift with my cleansers in the past couple of months earlier. I would only stick to sulfate-free shampoos and with continuous use over months I saw that I got a little bit of buildup on my scalp. If you are someone who use a lot of hair styling products you may have that build up a little bit more than me. I don't use a lot of hair styling products so this one trick I felt worked really well for me and actually made a world of a difference on my hair and generally on my scalp and hair fall. What I used to do is basically I used to use my Tri Concepts Hair Cleanser on most of the days but once in 15 days or in 20 days I would just pick up any run-of-the-mill shampoo and wash my hair.

A non-sulfate free shampoo is what I mean. This one I feel has worked really well for me and doesn't even strip my hair. It is very affordable and a great shampoo and I’ve spoken about this in the past as well.

This is the Head & Shoulders Anti Dandruff Smooth & Silky Shampoo. This is for itchy scalp in specific, it works really well on dandruff as well and just a trick that I felt really worked for me so I thought why not share it with you guys.

Re'equil Murumuru Damage Repair Conditioner

Now, moving on conditioner what I have for you guys is the Re'equil Murumuru Damage Repair Conditioner. It's a great product if you have dry frizzy or brittle hair because it nourishes the hair so very well. I feel this is a great conditioner, it doesn't weigh down the hair, it is just perfect in terms of consistency, it nourishes the hair really well and you have to keep it for about two to three minutes and then just wash off.

In my opinion if you're looking for a good detangling and a frizz control hair conditioner then this is something you can definitely try. Another thing that I would like to add about the Re'equil hair conditioner is that the reason why I switched back to hair conditioner is because a lot of hair fall happens due to dryness and fizziness in your hair especially in the monsoon season.

The hair tends to get very frizzy brittle and dry so you have to make sure that you keep your hair extremely detangled and use something that detangles your hair and just make them a lot softer, controls the frizz and doesn't leave your hair lumpy but definitely nourishes your hair and the follicles of your hair a lot more.

So, this I would say did the job of controlling the frizz, settling down the brittleness, settling down the damaged parts of my hair and the dryness really really well.

Then moving on one essential haircare product that I never go without is a good hair serum because I feel a good hair serum can really make your hair a lot more manageable, frizz free and just detangle your hair instantly.

L’Oréal Paris Extraordinary Oil Serum

BUY NOW

This one hair care product is something that I’ve stuck to for almost a year now and no surprises this is the L’Oréal Paris Extraordinary Oil Serum. This hair serum is quite something I’ve stuck to for the longest time now. I love how beautiful this is for the hair and to be honest it's a great haircare product. It controls frizz, it detangles the hair, it doesn't leave your hair lumpy or doesn't make your hair feel very oily after you've applied a serum, perfect consistency and I feel it really is a must-have in a haircare routine if you're facing fizziness in your hair or hair fall.

Because like I said you need to make sure that your hair detangle easily as your hair are already so sensitive at this point due to the suffering from hair fall, they're breaking easily from the scalp so you need to use something that really makes your hair length especially if you have long hair extremely soft and extremely manageable.

Nykaa Naturals Microfiber Hair Wrap for Frizz Free & Shiny Hair - Lavender

The last thing that I started doing in my hair care routine I would say this is not a necessity but honestly it has made a lot of difference in controlling the fizziness and the dryness of my hair. What I have here is the Microfiber Towel from Nykaa.

The reason why I like this is because this is long enough for the length of long hair. It has a button and it also has an elastic band so, I can just secure the button with this and move around for about 15-20 minutes doing about my skincare or any daily work etc.

Now the reason why I am recommending a microfiber towel is because it absorbs the water of your hair you don't have to scrub or rub your hair and the most important thing it basically controls the static and the frizz in your hair so, when you scrub your hair or just use a normal towel and wrap it around and leave it for a longer period of time that is likely to create static and frizz in your hair. But a microfiber towel absorbs the water and it does not create that kind of static at least that was my experience.

I love using this I’ve been using this for almost six seven months and I feel this is something I will continue to use and a must-have in my hair care routine.

 So, with that it's a wrap and I really hope that you enjoyed reading this blog and if you are suffering from postpartum or seasonal hair loss definitely try out these products. Some of these have become my holy grail.

Apart from this if you have any skin related question or doubts you can comment down below by which you will get answers of all your questions and all your queries will be solved.

Teenager's Skincare Kit - 5 Step Skincare Routine 

Are you a teenager? Then there is no surprise that teenage skin is very unpredictable and challenging. Acne breakouts and pimple are very common when you are a teenager. It is a very crucial age due to various hormonal changes take place in the body and that could be the major reason of acne pimples and breakouts.

If as a teenager you think that you are the only one facing various akin problem then you are not alone. There are so many teens who are facing same problems as you. Many teens, in fact most of the teens are facing skin issues such as acne, pimples, dullness, too much oily skin, etc. The main reasons behind this could be your diet, studies pressure, hormonal changes which I have already mentioned, emotional changes and many more.

It can be very frustrating and even embarrassing at times. But the first thing which I want to tell my beautiful teens is that you are perfect and beautiful just the way you are and don’t ever seek any outer validation remember self-love is the key to very thing in life and apart from that a good skincare routine.

In this particular age applying any skincare product can be a risk part because the skin is very delicate and need to be handled carefully. I already have a detailed separate blog about the Teenagers and Beginners Morning Skincare Routine where I have explained about detailed skincare routine a teenage can follow which is very simple and affordable at the same point. The product which are mentioned are personally tried and test for months. The skincare routine is been designed by keeping in mind the different skin types as well various skin problem a teenage has.

In this blog I have come up with more affordable and easier to follow skincare routine along with the kit and mind you there is no compromise in the quality of products. I have made it a five-step skincare routine. To make it simpler for you, I have also demonstrated each step by describing how to apply on your skin step by step.

 A lot of products are my personal favorites as well. I’ve tried to pick up products that will work on various different skin types and some of my personal favorites are also being thrown into this kit. It's only a very easy five-step skincare routine that I’ve put together for teenagers.

Without any further ado let's dive right into this blog.

Simple Kind to Skin Refreshing Facial Wash

BUY NOW

The first product in any skincare routine is to use a good effective and a non-stripping face wash. For teenagers there's one particular face wash that I personally feel is absolutely amazing and perfect in many ways. It's a personal favorite product, what I am referring to is the Simple Refreshing Facial Wash.

This is a color and a fragrance-free product which makes it even more perfect for teenagers because you have young skin you don't want to strip your skin at that age. Not just that I like the fact that this face wash forms really well so, if you have acne prone skin, if you think that you have clogged walls then this is the one to go for.

It's a gentle and very simple formulation and the way this is formulated it works very well with the natural ecosystem of this skin. Some of the ingredients that I want to highlight is this has vitamin E which is a moisturizing agent for the skin, this also has Pro-vitamin B5 which is a great humectant.

Overall, I would say if you're looking for a good affordable effective and a non-stripping face wash for teenagers, beginners or whatever your skin type or age may be this I feel is something one must try.

Kama Ayurveda Rose Water

BUY NOW

The second step of any skincare routine is to use a toner. In my opinion a toner can really rehydrate your skin and it is great to use one immediately after you wash your face. To rehydrate your face, you can also use it as a face mist during the day especially in summers.

For teenagers I would highly recommend go in for a good rose water. Now the rose water that I have for you here it's not super-duper affordable but I would say if you can invest in this it's a great-great product what I have here is the Kama Ayurveda Rose Water.

This is again a product I’ve spoken about many times on my blog. It's a great rose water, it's pure and it works really well on the skin. A good rose water hydrates your skin really well. If you don't want to go in for this you can buy any rose water of your choice. But a good rose water can make a huge difference in your skincare routine.

Plum 15% Vitamin C Face Serum with Mandarin for Glowing Skin with Pure Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

BUY NOW

The third step of this skincare routine is a facial serum. So, you must be wondering why am I recommending a facial serum because I’ve said this time and again in many of my blogs that I don't feel that teenagers need a facial serum.

However, so many of teenagers who are into serious skincare wants a recommendation for a good facial serum. So, I had to hunt down one which is affordable, effective and won’t harm the delicate skin of teenagers as well and I am glad I found this one product.

This is the Plum vitamin C Facial Serum and it's a recent launch. This has 15% ethyl ascorbic acid and it is a great product in my opinion. It's a very lightweight facial serum and why do I recommend a vitamin C serum is because in case you want to include one in your skincare routine.

This is a great product not just affordable but it has a good form of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an antioxidant it reverses sun damage; it is going to brighten your skin and it also works on acne scars. Therefore, if you want to include a good facial serum in your skincare routine this is the one you can definitely try.

Simple Kind To Skin Protecting Light Moisturizer SPF 15

BUY NOW

Moving on to the fourth step of the skincare routine I have a very affordable and an effective moisturizer for you guys which is going to work on many different skin types. It's a win-win situation with this moisturizer and it has become a personal favorite as well what I am referring to here is the Simple Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF 15.

Now if you guys have been following my blog you would know that I’ve already used and recommended the Simple Light Moisturize so, I wanted you to go ahead and try this one out as well. In my opinion a great product. The texture of this is very lightweight and gets absorbed in the skin very easily. It is also non-greasy, non-oily formula and many different skin types can use this with different skin condition. It's a color free and a fragrance-free formula.

Now talking about the ingredient list, what I love about this product is it does not have any denatured alcohol which is great for young skin. It has glycerin which is a great humectant also moisturizes your skin. Then you also have vitamin E here and pro-vitamin B5. There's an anti-irritant ingredient called bisabalol and you also have allentoin which is calming and soothing on the skin.

A great thing about this product is it comes with SPF 15 which is an added SPF on your skin. For teenagers especially I have stressed upon this fact time and again if you start using good SPF from a young age, you're likely to face less skin care issues later in your life. Therefore, it's really important to include a good sunscreen however if you get a moisturizer which has sunscreen SPF in it then that's an added advantage as well.

If you're looking for something that works beautifully on the skin, moisturizes your skin and is also budget friendly then this is something I highly recommend this product.

La Shield Pollution Protect Mineral Sunscreen Gel SPF 50

BUY NOW

Moving on to the last step of this skincare routine and something I’ve stressed upon many times in my blogs is to use a good sunscreen. What I am comfortable using is something that's above SPF 40 and has a good PA plus rating or at least a triple plus.

Now if you're a teenager I would highly urge you to wear a sunscreen whether you're indoors or outdoors because that way you're going to save yourself from a lot of trouble, a lot of skin care trouble later on in your life. So, there's one particular sunscreen that stood out for me out of the ones that I tried. The ones that I actually love were above 500 rupees so I had to hunt for an affordable version because a lot of you who are on a budget for obvious reasons need an affordable sunscreen that works as well.

So, what I found and I want to recommend to you is the La Shield Mineral Sunscreen. This comes with an SPF of 50 and has a PA plus rating. This is something that does not leave a white cast which is something that I loved about the product as a lot of mineral sunscreens tend to leave a white cast. It's a lightweight formula and it's also non-greasy which is a great thing because that way a lot of different skin types can use this sunscreen.

The only thing I would say or the only downside about this product is that this has fragrance. It's not a very strong fragrance but definitely there's fragrance in here and a little bit of a stronger one at that. It did not give me any headache or it wasn't overwhelming for me. But if you are sensitive skin condition or if you are acne prone, I would highly urge you to patch test this product first. but

If you're looking for an affordable mineral sunscreen or if you're looking for a sunscreen with a good sun protection factor and a good PA rating then I would highly recommend this and definitely wear a sunscreen guys.

If you're a teenager wearing a sunscreen is absolutely necessary and an important step in your skincare routine.

Following this skincare routine each day will help teenagers deal with there all skin problem and will make your skin clean, clear and bright. One major benefit of having a skincare routine at an early age is that it will keep you skin forever young which means that you won’t have any wrinkle or aging problem in future. Apart from this if you have any skin related question or doubts you can comment down below by which you will get answers of all your questions and all your queries will be solved.

                    TEN BEST MOISTURIZERS FOR ALL SKIN TYPE (Part -2)

In today's blog I am going to be sharing with you my most favorite eyeliners and kohl pencils. In this blog I have 30 options for you between eyeliners and kohl pencils.

Since the time I started wearing makeup I have tried many eyeliners and many kohl pencils and I feel a good eyeliner and a good kohl pencil is a must to have in practically everyone's makeup kit. Because it's easy to use and are versatile products.

A kohl pencil is something if pigmented you can use to smoke out your lower lash line, you can apply it on your upper water line, you can also use it as an eyeshadow smoke out make a smokey eye look.

All the eyeliner options and kohl options that I have for you here all of these I have from the affordable range which is the drugstore range and some very affordable options as well moving on to some of the higher end options as well. So, you can take your pick depending upon your budget.

First, I am going to be talking about my most favorite eyeliners and I am going to be telling you my favorite three pen eyeliners. As we go, I am also going to tell you which are the ones that are my most favorite, the ones that I reach out for the most.

Estee Lauder Little Black Liner - ONYX

BUY NOW

The first eyeliner that I have for you which is a pen liner this is the Estee Lauder Pen Eyeliner, extremely pigmented and what I like about this is that it has two ends to it. The one end is the pointed one and the other end is more to the thicker side. So, you have a more pointed end to make your wing and then the other end to fill in.

Then I have two more options because this of course is a little bit on the higher end of things. But I have two options that are very affordable.

Nykaa Get Inked! Sketch Eyeliner Pen - Onyx 01

The first one which is my most favorite. I reach out for this the most when I use a pen eyeliner is the Nykaa Get Inked Pen Eyeliner. This has a beautiful felt tip and also has a very pigmented sort of an eyeliner and it basically sits really well. These are all water resistant and smudge resistant formulas. I have purchased this very recently and I’ve been using this quite a lot.

KIRO Waterproof Soft-Matte Eyeliner Pen - Carbon Black

BUY NOW

The third eyeliner that I have which is also fairly affordable is from Kiro. This also has a beautiful felt tip so you can make your wing and you can also basically fill your wing in with this, these sit fairly matte. Now if you see all the three eyeliners are extremely matte and you do have that very soft satin finish. But when you apply it on your lids it basically shows absolutely matte finish.

If you are someone who likes extremely matte formulas then I would suggest you go in for liquid eyeliners and for liquid eyeliners I have a few incredible options here for you. First let's look at some of the affordable options.

Maybelline New York Colossal Bold Eyeliner - Black

The first most affordable option and which I feel is extremely easily available in the market as well is the Maybelline Bold Eyeliner. This is the Maybelline Colossal Eyeliner. It's a great eyeliner, very popular and like I said very pocket friendly as well. What I like about this is the tip of it which is extremely thin and you can create a very thin wing with this and you can create or you can basically play around with the thickness of your eyeliner.

So, if you like a thin eyeliner, I highly recommend going in with this. It's a matte formula so you're going to love this.

Miss Claire Matte Stay Liquid Eyeliner - Black

Moving on I have a super matte black and extremely pigmented eyeliner which is from the brand Miss Claire, this is their Matte Liquid Eyeliner. The thing with this eyeliner is it's more than affordable, it's around 350 rupees, it is very pigmented and the only thing I feel is the brush it is not beginner friendly. But honestly the brush for the price you pay is not bad at all.

I don't have any trouble creating a wing with this but if you're a beginner you may feel a little bit of trouble creating a wing and so for that you can use an eyeliner brush. Because the liquid eyeliner itself is very pigmented. It's a pretty thin brush, the only thing is the end. I would have liked to be a little bit more tapered and pointed to make that wing. But I would say it's one of the blackest eyeliners that I’ve ever used.

Lakme Absolute Shine Line Eyeliner - Black

BUY NOW

The next I have here is the Lakme Absolute Shine Line which says shine line but it's actually a matte eyeliner. This is something very portable I feel extremely affordable as well. But honestly this is a great eyeliner and I do reach out for this one and the Miss Claire one quite a lot as well. a few more

Essence Super last Waterproof Eyeliner - Black

Now this one is something that I picked up while I was traveling abroad long time ago. This brand which is Essence is now available in India. This is the essence super last eyeliner, it's a water-resistant formula and smudge proof as well. I feel this is one of the most pigmented and the blackest eyeliner that I’ve used.

I think I am going to be saying that for most of the eyeliners that I have here because like I said I am a sucker for a good eyeliner and I pick up one every time I go out shopping. Even if I am not shopping for makeup, I would just go see what is a new eyeliner and a kohl pencil that has launched.

So, coming back to Essence eyeliner it's a very pigmented. This has a felt tip which is pretty long. Again, something I feel had it been pointed would have been nice for beginners. I don't have a problem creating a wing with this but if you are a beginner, I would highly recommend using an eyeliner brush with this one.

Great product, very affordable, I think this is about 400 or 500 rupees which is very affordable. It lasts you almost forever and it doesn't dry out.

Cuffs N Lashes Liquid Eyeliner

Moving on I have an eyeliner from Cuffs N Lashes. Now this is a brand that has very affordable products. This eyeliner is 199 Rupees definitely worth the money. This came to me in PR I did not buy it in all honesty and this is a very good eyeliner. It has a very good brush as well, it's pigmented, it's black everything you need in an eyeliner. The tip is also really thin and nice and pointed for you to make a nice winged eyeliner.

It's a great option if you're looking for a good affordable version you can definitely pick this one up.

Kay Beauty Quick Dry Liquid Eyeliner - Black Canvas

Then I have another affordable one from the drugstore. This is not a super matte formula. This is from Kay Beauty it's their black colored eyeliner which is also a very pigmented eyeliner. These eyeliners sit really well as well the one from Kay Beauty. The only thing I would like them to be a little bit more matte. They have a very soft satin finish and it has a great tip as well to make a good eyeliner. To be very precise with your eyeliner like I said the only thing I would have liked is for the eyeliner itself to be a little bit more matte.

Colorbar All-Matte Eyeliner

Then moving on to the last drugstore eyeliner that I have for you and this is also something that I reach out for quite a lot it is the Colorbar Eyeliner. I’ve used this in the black color it's a beautiful pigmented eyeliner. I absolutely love its blue color and brown color as well. The Colorbar has such a beautiful blue eyeliner so, if you are looking for a good blue eyeliner, I highly recommend this one.

It is actually a very matte formula and it's extremely pigmented. It's a very nice soft felt tip and it's extremely pointed as well so, you can make a wonderful very precise line with this one and you can make a great wing with this and go ahead and fill it up as well.

The Balm Schwing Liquid Eyeliner - Black

Now coming to a few of the high-end eyeliners that I have for you here and my most favorite from the high-end ones. The one that I wear quite a lot is the Balm Schwing Liquid Eyeliner. This is a very popular product and I’ve seen a lot of beauty bloggers talk about this. Rightly so it's a great-great product. It is extremely pigmented, it's a water-resistant formula, it's smudge resistant as well. You get a great tip here again, a felt tip great one of that.

If you're looking for a good matte one and you're in the mood of splurging I would highly recommend this one.

Huda Beauty Life Liner Duo Pencil & Liquid Eyeliner

Another eyeliner that I totally love is from Huda Beauty. This is their liquid eyeliner and also a retractable kohl pencil on the other end. Now I am not a big fan of the retractable pencil. I feel it could have been a lot more pigmented. Nonetheless it's not that bad but I would have liked it to be a little bit more pigmented.

Honestly, I’ve used a lot more pigmented kohl pencils which I am going to be talking about next. That's why I don't feel this is a great one at that but definitely something that you can use make do with. But if you're spending this much you definitely expect a good cool pencil on the other end.

However, the reason why I am showing you this is it has a beautiful liquid eyeliner. For me honestly this was worth it the moment I used the eyeliner. The only thing with the eyeliner is you have to make sure that you close it absolutely tight otherwise it dries out because the packaging is such.

The thing with this particular eyeliner is it's a different formula, it's a cross between a gel eyeliner and a liquid eyeliner. It's extremely pigmented, it's black as hell, it's matte as hell. If you are someone who loves a good deep black eyeliner go with this one.

It is really pigmented, sits well on your eyelids, absolutely smudge proof, it's water resistant as well. This is definitely an eyeliner that I highly recommend. If you don't mind a not so pigmented cold pencil on the other end then you can definitely try this particular one.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Gel Eyeliner

Then moving on I am going to be talking about a little bit of a different formulation in eyeliners. I am talking about the gel liners and my most favorite is from Anastasia Beverly Hills. Now I know this is on the higher end of things. If you don't want to go for this one and you want a more affordable version which is mostly a dupe. I would say for the Anastasia one is the L’Oréal Gel Eyeliner and even the Maybelline one.

Now both of these eyeliners the L’Oréal and the Maybelline I have used and they work really well. I always wanted to try the Anastasia one. It is absolutely gorgeous, it's absolutely beautiful, very pigmented. I use this for my smoky eyes all the time and also, it’s so buttery that it sets in really nice as an eyeliner. But if you want to use it as an eyeshadow, smudge it out with a smudger then also it sits beautifully.

So, if you're someone who likes a good smoky eye then this is the one to go for. It sits perfectly well and it does not move that's what I like about it. I love wearing a good gel eyeliner in my waterline, every time I have to wear one if I can't find a good kohl pencil then this is the one that I would all the time go in for.

SUVA Beauty Hydra Liner - Doodle

The other eyeliners which were recently launched in India are these Suva Beauty Eyeliners and I definitely want to recommend this one to you because they are absolutely amazing. If you're looking for a good black eyeliner then you get this in a pot which is in the shade doodle. So, you get a white and a black eyeliner half and half in this spot which I feel is a great deal. It's a little bit expensive than a normal gel liner like L’Oréal or Maybelline but this definitely is worth it and of course this is a different formula.

Before applying you have to dip your brush in water and wet your brush then go in with this and then apply it. It’s more like we used to do with watercolors and it's really nice playing with these eyeliners. I totally love it.

SUVA Beauty UV Brights

My most favorite one from them are their colored eyeliners. There is an entire palette that you have plus they are super pigmented. I’ve used these one out they last on your eyelids for a very long time and until you actually go in with a micellar water or a cleansing balm. They won't budge and they look beautiful. If you're into colored eyeliners you can go in with this one for sure but if you want something that's black and you get an additional white because you don't run out of eyeliners that quickly.

Definitely give a try to this one.

Now let's make way for some kohl pencils or kajal pencils whatever you call them and I have 16 kajal pencil options here for you. So, firstly I am going to tell you the most affordable one that means we're going to go into the drugstore ones first and then move on to the high-end ones.

Maybelline New York The Colossal Kajal 24Hour Smudge Proof - Deep Black

First let me tell you about the most affordable kajal pencil that I have here and this is literally 100 to 110 Rupees very easily available. This is the Colossal Kajal Pencil and it is great, it's a retractable pencil, it is so pigmented you guys and it doesn't move from its place and it sits really well. Even if you're someone who likes to wear a kajal just in your waterline this is really good.

The only thing is this does not last that long in your waterline but honestly for the price you pay you can't really complaint. It's a really good product in my opinion.

Plum NaturStudio All-Day-Wear Kohl Kajal - Black Brilliance + Free sharpener

Then moving on I have something which is absolutely stunning. This is from Plum it is the NaturStudio All Day Wear Kohl Pencil. This is very pigmented and it is extremely buttery. If you are someone who has sensitive eyes like your eyes water when you wear a coal then try this one.

Then moving on we have one from Lakme. This is the Lakme Iconic Pencil, great option in my opinion. Again, great drugstore product and very pigmented. This one sit and blends really well. If you are someone who likes to do a smoky lower lash line you can definitely go in with this product.

Belora Paris Kohl Kiss Intense Kajal

My current favorite kohl pencil I would say is from Belora cosmetics because it is so buttery you guys. It is absolutely amazing how buttery this kajal is.

This is actually the most pigmented one I ever had. It sits really well on the lower lash line I love using this as an eyeshadow as a black eyeshadow and then kind of smoke it out so, for my smoky eye look I have been using this so very much.

KIRO Waterproof Soft-Matte Eyeliner Pen - Carbon Black 

I have an option from the brand Kiro. This is their retractable pencil as well. It's a great option if you're looking for something that's nice and pigmented so, it's this one right here. It's very pigmented if you're looking to apply something on your lower waterline or on your upper waterline you can try this. These sits fairly well as well.

It doesn't budge that easily but the one that doesn't budge at all is the Belora one. It's a great product in my opinion, very good and very pigmented kajal pencil.

Lakme Absolute Ultimate Kohl Kajal

Then moving on we have another option from Lakme. This is the one that comes with a smudger on the other end which I really like. This is the Lakme Absolute Ultimate Kohl Kajal. This is not a retractable pencil you have to use a sharpener with this but this is again very pigmented.

A very good color payoff, you can use this in your waterline as well. It is a fairly good formula and it sits really well in the waterline. So, the thing with cold pencils is that they don't sit for a very long time in your waterline and you have to reapply them. I feel that's the case with most of the cold pencils except a few high-end ones that I have to be honest.

The Belora one definitely worked for me in the waterline as well. Even the plum one last you a fairly long time. The smudger that you have on the other end is pretty good as well so, you can use it to smudge the kohl pencil out if you like using a smudged effect on your lower waterline.

House Of Makeup Here to Stay Longwear Kajal - Noir 

Then I have from a brand called House of Makeup. It is Here to Stay Kohl Pencil. This is a very good formula as well. It's very nice, very pigmented, great-great product in my opinion and something that doesn't water your eyes if you have sensitive eyes.

Definitely try this one out as well it doesn't irritate your eyes if you have sensitive eyes or your eyes water when you wear a kohl pencil. It’s a great product like I already said.

Stay Quirky Badass Kajal

The other one that I feel is comparable to Belora. A lot more affordable is the one from Stay Quirky. Let me tell you how buttery and pigmented this is and it is super-duper black. This comes really handy for doing a smoky eye as well. If you apply it as a black eyeshadow, it smudges out beautifully.

Max Factor Kohl Kajal Liner Automatic Pencil - 001 Black

Then moving on I have a kajal this is a Kohl Kajal Liner from the brand Max Factor. This is a new launch it is a beautiful, very pigmented eyeliner. This blends out really well. It's absolutely black and gorgeous that's what I like about this.

All the options that I’ve mentioned in this blog mostly all of them are smudge proof. They're water resistant as well and they're extremely black formulas.

Colorbar Mesmereyes Kajal – Black 001

The last option for a kohl pencil in the affordable section would be from Colorbar. This is their mesmereyes Kajal black 001. Again, very pigmented and definitely from the drugstore so, it's affordable, it's jet black, sits really well on your waterline as well.

Now moving on to some of the high-end options that I have.

 M.A.C in Extreme Dimension 24hr Kajal Eye Liner

The first option in the high-end section is from Mac I have two Kajal’s from Mac here. The first one is the Mac Extreme Black Dimension 24-hour kajal. This is the new launch and this is so pigmented guys. I loved using this on my lower waterline.

It's very pigmented, it stays on your waterline for a very good time as well and it sits really beautifully as well. It doesn't move that much and definitely doesn't water the eyes.

Smashbox Always on Gel Liner

Then moving on I have another one before I tell you the mac one, I want to mention you the mini version. This is from Smashbox its their Always on gel eyeliner. This is again a very pigmented formula much more pigmented than the Mac one. I love the Mac one as well but this is a great product. It sits really well, it blends out really well so, if you like to do a smoky eye effect on your lower lash line or upper lash line go in with this one.

It blends out like a dream and of course this particular Smashbox one actually sits very well also. So, once it dries out it basically sits like a gel eyeliner on your eyelids or on your lower lash line wherever you want to use it.

 M.A.C Technakohl Liner - Graphblack

BUY NOW

Coming back, another one from Mac, it is a very popular one from them. This is the Graphblack Technakohl liner. It's an eyeliner and a kajal so, you can use all your kajal pencils as eyeliners as well of course. It's really nice black, very pigmented. This is one of their most popular products as well and I really feel this is a good one at that.

Now when it comes to casual pencils, I don't stick to one I actually keep trying different ones so, if you ask me which is the one, I reach out for the most. I honestly use a lot of different ones of these but Belora one is my favorite the Smashbox one and this one from Mac is a personal favorite as well.

Too Faced Killer Kajal - Black

The other one that I have been using quite a lot recently is this one which is from a new launch from Too Faced it's the Killer Kajal. It's a retractable pencil but very pigmented and when I say it's pigmented, I mean it's super-duper pigmented. It's jet black and sits really well. Once it sits on your eyes it settles on your eyes doesn't move, doesn't budge, it's a great water-resistant formula as well.

So, I like using my kajal pencils different ways, you can of course use them as eyeliners but my most favorite way to use them is underneath the lower lash line so a reverse wing basically. I use it as a kohl underneath my lash line and then I smoke it out and also make a wing.

I really like doing that and every time I want to step out and I am not wearing makeup I would just put some kohl and then just smudge it out. I think it's very easy, very quick, intensifies the look of your eyes and it makes your eyes look a lot more in shape and just something that you can do very quickly.

So, I like quick makeup like I said so this is something that's super quick. If you're looking for something that's jet black honestly, I would say, go in for the Too Faced one, you can go in for the Max Factor, of course I’ve told you many different options Smashbox one is a great option as well.

Then I wanted to talk about you two brown colored kohl pencils which you can use as eyeshadow, eyeliners and also as a brown eyeliner or a kajal pencil underneath your lower waterline and just smudge it out two of these. My most favorite both of these are above the thousand-rupee range so that's why I call them high-end.

Charlotte Tilbury Rock 'N' Kohl - Barbarella Brown

BUY NOW

The first one is the Charlotte Tilbury Rock N Roll. It's a beautiful, very pigmented brown pencil. This comes really handy if you want to do a smoky eye effect as well as this one right here it's really nice and it blends out really nicely. I love using this whenever I am doing a brown smoky eye in my lower waterline it sits really well and doesn't budge

Sephora Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner - 10 Matte Brown Black

The last cold pencil that I have here is this one from Sephora. It is basically a retractable brown pencil but has a little bit of glitter to it and it also has a smudger on the other end. I love using this when I do my glittery eyeshadow looks especially brown ones. It's really nice and a very pigmented formula.

It has a very slight glitter to it so, you get that beautiful glittery look as well. If you are someone who likes to experiment with your eyeliner sometimes, you like to do a brown one instead of a black one right so, you can definitely try this.

So, my beauties with that it's a wrap. That was a very detailed night skin care routine from a skincare die heart fan and a passionate skincare lover. If you have any questions for me, feel free to leave them in the comment section below and until I see you next.
