Elle 18 Eye Sparklers in the shade Gun Powder Review
By Ishani N.
Hi Ladies,
This is the first time that I have come up with some eye makeup review on IMBB. It is our eyes that speak volumes about our beautiful self. We never get tired beautifying our eyes. So today, I am going to review Elle 18 Eye Sparkles in the shade Gun Powder. For those who are in love with that smokey eye effect, but are reluctant to spend a fortune on eye shadows, this small glimmer stick would be a great option.
Price:
Rs. 85 for 1.5 gm.
Shelf Life:
24 months from the date of packaging.
Ingredients and Packaging:
They have only mentioned almonds, other ingredients are not mentioned. The packaging is cute, I personally like the graphic girl on the cover, it is very girly. The tip can be sharpened.
My Take on Elle 18 Eye Sparklers in the shade Gun Powder:
I like trying new things and when new things come at such a cheap price, I don’t find any reason to complain. I always prefer Maybelline eye pencils and in no way can compromise it for Elle 18 Eye Sparkles. Nevertheless, this eye pencil is easy to use and brings that dark dark smoky eye effect. It glides on easily and pigmentation is also satisfactory, but the staying power is very short, only about 3 hours. People who sweat very much or those with oily lids, it is very important to use a primer underneath or else it shall ruin your makeup.
Since it is a pencil, it can be sharpened to pointed edges from time to time. I love the glittery effect that this pencil imparts. This is how it looks on my eyes.
On my lashes, I have used Revlon Water Tight Mascara in Black and a kajal smudger to evenly spread the Elle 18 Eye Sparklers on my lids.
There are five colored eye Sparklers available in this range of Elle 18. These are Blue Blast, Green Granade, Gun Powder, Purple Patake, Silver Spark.
Pros of Elle 18 Eye Sparklers in the shade Gun Powder:
- Inexpensive.
- Glides easily on the eyes.
- Good pigmentation.
- Application is very easy and does not take much time.
- Can be applied directly without any brush.
Cons of Elle 18 Eye Sparklers in the shade Gun Powder:
- Staying power is hardly 3 hours.
- Not suitable for people with oily lids.
- No active ingredients mentioned except for almonds.
- Requires a lot of sharpening since the tip gets blunt with just a single application.
- Requires multiple applications to get the desired look.
Would I Repurchase Elle 18 Eye Sparklers in the shade Gun Powder?
Yes, I shall purchase the other shades from this range.
Do I Recommend Elle 18 Eye Sparklers in the shade Gun Powder?
At this low price, it can be bought once, but even if you don’t buy this one, there are many more gorgeous eye shadows available in the market from Lakme, Revlon, Maybelline, etc.
