Ambika Pillai Liquid Eyeliner Review

Hello everyone.. icon smile Ambika Pillai Liquid Eyeliner Review

Today I am reviewing Ambika pillai’s liquid eyeliner which i bought from fashionandyou.com.

Colour: Black.

Price: it was a set of both mascara and liquid eyeliner.set’s price was 628/- i don’t know the individual prices.

Net wt: 8 ml.

Ingredients:

I bought this liquid eyeliner cum mascara set very long ago(almost a year ago) from fashion and you while they were having a sale.I’ve used it in many of my tutorials.

Packaging: It comes in a simple long glossy black tube.Wand is long with a thick brush tip which is neither too stiff nor too flimsy.It is perfect and helps to form a nice even line without

Consistency and finish: The consistency of the liquid liner is neither runny nor thick.It is somewhere in between and dries down to a flat matte finish.No gloss or shine whatsoever.You don’t get the darkest colour in one swipe.You need to apply 2 coats minimum.

Staying power: I have oily lids and it stays for about 2-3 hrs on me and then it starts to itch and flakes off. I hate it for that! I don’t know if the itching is due to some ingredient which I may be allergic to or may be it has some ingredient which causes such irritation in general for everyone.I am not sure.But this product loses its points majorly for flaking off.

Not waterproof/resistant: This is not waterproof and water resistant.So if you have watery eyes this is definitely not for you.

After nearly 2 months the consistency of the liquid changes to a thick,clumpy and gross mess! And it becomes so difficult to create even lines.See the wand..

Pros:

• Gives a matte finish.This is a pro for those who like such finish.
• Decently pigmented.
• Brush is very well constructed.
• They do not test on animals.
• Partial proceeds benefit Indian charities.

Cons:

• Poor staying power.
• Flakes off after a while.
• Irritates eyelids and also eyes when it accidently goes in to them.
• Is not waterproof/resistant.
• Texture goes really messy and gross within nearly 2 months.

IMBB rating: 2.5/5

Would I recommend this? Hell no! you better donate that money directly to some charity instead.

Nupur, i guess you are right…
because i bought the Lotus gel creme without paying much heed to the ingredient list… but it broke me out badly… i then checked the list :silly: and found out it has wheat germ oil… and i am allegrgic to it…. :yikes:
So sheersha, maybe you are allergic to some ingredient

jomol July 27, 2011 at 10:52 am

Calii….I think may it was defective batch or maybe Sireesha is allergic to something in the ingredients list………………
