Eyes Wide Open ~ Chambor Sparkling eye liner in Soft Star Review

Chambor Sparkling Eye Liner in Soft Star

Sorry for the lack of post girls! I am juggling 4 projects at present at work. I love the word juggling btw. It conjures up such a fun image. When I think I am juggling projects, in my head I picture 3 projects suspended mid air in a semi circle and I am at the bottom of the circle working furiously on one project. I am rambling! Delirious with the few hours of sleep I am getting.

Chambor Soft Star

The many hours at work and the few hours of sleeping is giving me terrible dark circles. Thank God I have the Chambor Sparkling eye liner. This is a shimmery champagne color eye pencil with golden shimmer and a few golden glitter particles. This is my go to pencil when I want to divert attention away from my dark circles and make my eyes look wide awake. A dash of this in the inner corner of my eyes adds a bit of glamour to my eye look.

This eye pencil has shimmer as well as glitter. What I mean by glitter is visible flecks of golden tiny things. Because of this , its not exactly suited for work.

Favorite eye pencil of all time – Chambor eye tattoo pencil in Shimmery brown, Photos and Swatches

Chambor Eye Tatoo Eyeliner in ET 04

Shimmery brown is my favorite color for eye makeup be it eyeliners or eyeshadows. Chambor eye pencil in brown (ET04) is my most favorite eyeliner of all time. I am on my third one at present. I have a few other Chambor Tattoo eyepencils and I have to say they are of excellent quality. The color pay off is excellent. They don’t move or budge once set and they glide on very smoothly. The entire eye tattoo range has very flattering colors. If you guys want me to review the other eyeliners in this range let me know. For now I want to dedicate this post to this gorgeous eyeliner.

Price ? Rs 325

How to ? I use this in many different ways

·         I use this as an eyeliner for my upper lashline.I put groundwork paintpot first then put this eyeliner. Smudge it a bit. Mascara and a thin line of kajal on my lower lashline and I am done. Quick and simple neutral eye makeup.

·         Another way I use this gem. I draw a thick line with this pencil all around my lower lash line extending quite some way below the waterline. I do the same for my upper waterline.Then I take a black eye pencil and smudge it in my lower and upper waterlines only. Then I take a smudger brush and smudge the black eyepencil a bit so that it seamlessly blends into the brown liner.It looks gorgeous. Adds dimension to the eyes. And on my lids I put my trusty Groundwork Paintpot.

·         If I am in a hurry and I don’t have the time to mess around with eyeshadows I use this as an eyeshadow as well. Apply all over my lids and quickly blend to smoothen out any harsh lines.

Suitable for ? I think this is a universally flattering shade.

Swatch without flash

Swatch With flash

The Good

·         Absolutely love the color. Shimmery dark brown awesomeness

·         Stays on for hours and hours within minimal fading in the waterline.Staying power is very important for me in a eyeliner.

·         Rs.325 seems like a reasonable price

·         Waterproof and smudge proof. No raccoon eyes from this one.

·         Glides smoothly without any tugging.

The Not so good

·         Nothing. I love this exactly the way it is.

If I have not sung enough praises already I will say this again I love this eye pencil. Do swatch it the next time you swing by a Chambor counter.

Lakme Fantasy collection and permanent collection haul

  

I am sporting brand new nail polished toes( gorgeous metallic grey color) and a self satisfied smirk. A deadly combination of yummylicious feta cheese for dinner and a makeup haul. I absolutely love feta cheese and could have it for all my meals if it were any cheaper. I guess good things in life don’t come cheap ( sigh!!) especially makeup…though this post is on a somewhat cheapy haul..

So I went to pay my quarterly homage to the nearest Health and Glow. H&G and NewU seem to be the only beauty stores in India. How I long for the day when Sephora sets shop here. On my trip to US when I first laid my eyes on Sephora I just stood there and gaped at it like a fool with my mouth open  quite akin  to a fish. Anyway I digress, like I usually do.

With futher ado I present to you my Lakme Haul. 

Lakme Haul

      I got 2 things from the Fantasy collection. 

• Fantasy Shimmer Liner in Astral Green:- This color is just so beautiful. I can imagine this looking good on all skin tones. They had 4 more colors which were very pretty as well. Black,Pink,Clear with glitter and gold. This is priced at 275 INR. The color I got is a jade green with golden shimmer. I plan to use this with very simple eye makeup look with  Groundwork paintpot and just this liner for a pop of color.
