| Plum Angel Eyes Kajal #True Black and a comparison with other kajals |
Hey beauties! I am very excited to do this post
mainly because amidst all other makeup products lying in my vanity, I reach out
for kajal the most. For any regular day, it is only a moisturizer, sunscreen,
kajal and lipgloss for me (Sounds familiar, eh?) So, just like buying daal-chawal every month, I need to keep
restocking kajal. Hehehe ;)
I have always been a fan of smudge-proof kajal and
Maybelline Colossal has been my favorite always. But recently, with the onset
of winters, I find it bit drying and not as smooth as it is in summers. Also, I
had been wishing for a “Blend-able” kajal for the soft smudged look, both on
lower lids as well as upper lids and which should not be too oily-glossy kind. I
got my perfect product in Plum’s Angel Eyes kajal. Plum is a new brand on the
block and they produce completely natural products free from harmful chemicals.
You can check their Facebook page Here. So, when I received their Kajal, I was naturally
very thrilled. Read on to see how it fared-
Price: Rs. 425 for 1.14 gm (Sounds exorbitant but
comparing to the retractable ones which offer 0.35 gms for Rs.200, this is
sensible)

Ingredients: Jojoba oil, Macadamia oil, Chamomile
flower extracts, Mango seed oil.
Packaging:
It comes in a white wooden pencil which can be sharpened as per need with the
pretty purple and green sharpener provided free with the pencil (introductory
offer). The sharpener has two inlets each for thinner and fatter pencils. There
is a lid which prevents any mess. It’s been long since I have used a sharpen-able
eye pencil and its really good to have a sharp tip every time I use it ;)

Texture:
SMOOTH! It glides on like a dream and there is absolutely no pulling or
tugging. I have tried it on lower lash line, upper lash-line, lower waterline
and upper waterline. No harshness anywhere and no stinging! Yay!

Pigmentation:
It’s an intense bluish-black on me when I wear it boldly. Otherwise, it looks
normal black when worn with a light hand. The effect is soft matte and no shine
(I LOVE!) Compared to Lakme Kajal and Maybelline Colossal, you can see the
difference here. All three have been swipe twice. The intensity of Plum Angel
eyes kajal is much more sans the glossiness of the Lakme Kajal.

Staying
power: As mentioned earlier, on my normal to eye contour
area, this stays for a REAL long time when used boldly, around 5-6 hours
(Maybelline one also stays put around the same time on me). Then I decided to
slather on a super moisturizing cream around my eyes and apply the kajal
lightly just on the waterline to see how it would fare on oily lids. That way,
it stayed for three hours after which it transferred from the waterline to the
lower lash-line. But it did not go beyond that.

Ratings:
Pigmentation: 9/10
Texture: 10/10
Staying power: 8.5/10
Overall: 9/10
Likes:
Everything! ;)
Dislikes:
1. It could have been a little less pricey J
2. Availability only online (although that’s not a
problem because they have super awesome customer service)
3. Staying power might be lower on people with
extremely oily eye contour or thse who prefer to apply kajal light-handedly.
Recommendation: I love this kajal and would
recommend this to everyone who needs a true intense black kajal with no harmful
ingredients.
Disclaimer: Product sent by brand for review but the
opinion expressed is completely honest without any bias.
Enjoy the pics! J
