Skin-tone: Fair to medium
Hello people,
We all know that Elle 18 is one of the coolest brands for newbies and college goers since the brand has fun stuff, bright coloured packaging and are affordable as well! A while back I saw this kajal on an online-portal with a water-resistant claim and this looked pretty cool for daily use. I wanted to try this out since the liquid one from them works really well. See how this worked for me.
Price: Rs 85/-

My Experience with Elle 18 Black Out! Water-Resistant Kajal:
Packaging: The kajal comes in a crayon style packaging in hot pink and black which makes it look super cute. It is very tiny and sleek hence very handy. It has a transparent cap which remains tightly closed. It has a nice smooth tip which lets proper application of the kajal but sharpening it up is a big-time mess. It does not come with a sharpener, so we need to buy one to sharpen it. The price tag is really cool which is targeted mainly for college-goers who are on a budget or pocket money.
Shade, pigmentation and feel on the eyes: The shade is a deep black colour which looks extremely black when I swipe it 2-3 times to build up the intensity. In one swipe, it does show a black colour but a sober one but 2-3 swipes make it eye catching and very noticeable. The pigmentation is great in the first swipe itself. It has a creamy texture which looks hard but goes creamy on my waterline. It does not irritate my eyes but I think it is not suitable for very sensitive eyes.
Results: The kajal looked very promising but I would say it is not completely water-resistant. My eyes become watery very soon since it is sensitive and the water does make the kajal vanish very quickly. The kajal lasts for a limited time but I cannot say that it totally disappointed me because you get what you pay. It lasted for 1 hour on my waterline and 2-3 hours on my eyelids. It does smudge on its own with time and also if you touch your eyes constantly. Overall, good for a beginner but not that great either!

Will I Repurchase/Recommend Elle 18 Black Out! Water-Resistant Kajal?
No I wouldn’t! Rather I would recommend the liquid liner from them which works 5 times better than this one.
Conclusion: Eye products from them are pretty okay. Waiting to try the matte lipsticks from them.
