VOV Soft Kohl Kajal Auto Eye Pencil- Review

Hello people on IMBB! I hope you’re all having a great day!

There are two things that I totally am crazy in the beauty department, one is eye pencils (kajals) and the other one is perfumes. I like eye pencils that are twist up so that I don’t need to bother about sharpening them. I wear contact lens so most of the kajals smudge, or irritate my eyes and I’ve been happy with this one for my daily use. Chambor Stay-on waterproof is my trusted one, but for routine use, this one proves to be a winner. VOV is not one of my favorite brands but seems like in this field it has proved itself. I ordered for another one, (as I’d got it from Mumbai) as soon as the first one was about to finish.

Basic Appearance:

It is a typical twist-up kajal eye pencil, black with a silver cap. It’s a reversible twist-up, thankfully not a one-sided twist-up like Chambor, which I normally use.

Price:

Rs.110/- (total value for money)

Darkness/Blackness:

It may require one or two strokes for the lash line. For the waterline, we may need to apply 3-4 strokes to get the perfect dark tone that most of us are used to. For comparison with Chambor, I used both of them on my hands and found that in two strokes, this one is darker.

Smoothness:

It totally glides off, Chambor’s the first stroke feels rough. But this one claims to be soft, and it’s really soft and smooth to use.

Fragrance:

It doesn’t have any specific fragrance like those of Lotus or Himalaya, that smell of herbals, but it does have that typical kajal/kohl kind of smell.

Irritation:

I’m used to wearing contact lenses everyday, so I feel I’m at the greatest risk of using kajals. So far, Lotus, VLCC, Lakme Satin Black, all irritate me a lot as soon as I put them on with my lenses. But thank heavens this one doesn’t irritate me at all. Sometimes I don’t even realize that my eyes are loaded heavily with kajal. Till date, only one kajal made me feel that, it was Chambor Stay-on waterproof, welcome VOV, I will spend some less money for you!

Smudging:

Almost negligible, it smudges after 5 hours or so, but still you can find its traces on the waterline. I don’t use kajal on the lash line regularly, but when I used this one on the lash line I found that it doesn’t smudge at all! So this is some good news for people who’re used to using kajals only on the lash line.

Waterproof:

It is waterproof to a good extent. When I applied it on waterline, it was dark enough and stayed for about 4-5 hours like a thick line. After I used my face-wash to wash it off, it didn’t go off completely, traces still remain. So yes, it has good water proofing capacity because so far from my experience, I can say that most of the kajals don’t stay on the waterline for long.

VOV vs chambor

Lash line:

On the lash line it totally proves that it is waterproof. I wash my face with water or even face wash, but it fades a little bit.

Pros of VOV (Waterproof) Soft Kohl Kajal Auto Eye Pencil:

  • Waterproof, for real.
  • Doesn’t fade for 5-6 hours.
  • Totally non-irritating even for eyes that use lenses.

Consof VOV (Waterproof) Soft Kohl Kajal Auto Eye Pencil:

Smudges after 5-6 hours.

Overall:

Apart from the smudging part, that too after these many hours, I couldn’t find any weakness with this kajal. It’s great for daily use. A twist up kajal and that too in this range, is every penny worth.

IMBB Rating:

4.5/5
