LATEST LAUNCH: Maybelline The Colossal Kajal Super Black

Kajal is like an absolute necessary item in every Indian girl's vanity. No makeup kit is complete without a good kajal. And while we've been loving Maybelline's Colossal Kajal for quite sometime now, the brand has now come up with a newer more intense version of their well beloved kajal: The Colossal Kajal Super Black. 

Product Description

Maybelline The Colossal Kajal Super Black is the newest addition to Maybelline's Colossal range. According to the brand: 
'It gives you a 2X blacker look in one smooth stroke that stays intense for up to 16 hours! With light absorbing pigments, the formula delivers 2 times more blackness* for double the intensity. Enriched with oil for super smooth application, it glides on effortlessly, adding a rich, glossy sheen color that stays waterproof and smudge-proof for up to 16 hours.'

Packaging

The one thing that I'm loving about this product is it's packaging: Black and Bold, one that completely fits its image and gives this feel of intensity and boldness.

• The product comes in a retractable black pencil form, similar to the previous Colossal Kajal.

• It is convenient to use unlike the typical pencil or cone shaped broad kajals that smudge easily and require constant strokes to get the right color.

• It costs Rs.300/- for 0.35g of product.

My Take

The Colossal Kajal has been my holy grail since day one, and I was super excited to use a newer more better version of my favorite kajal.

The intensity of this kajal was mind-blowing. I did not expect such a wonderful color payoff.  It was jet black like the brand claimed and went on with a matte texture. It glided on smoothly and I only had to apply 2 strokes of the pencil to get that amazing black color. I've been using this kajal for a week now and It did not clump or break which I loved. It is waterproof and smudge proof. 

Maybelline The Colossal Kajal Super Black Swatch

I don't know about their 16 hour claim, but for me, the kajal lasted for 9 hours throughout the day after which I had to take it off with a makeup remover, which is amazing. So, if you're going for an all-day look, this baby is your life savior. This kajal is definitely blacker and more pigmented than their previous one. This is the black every kajal lover dreams of. It works well on the lower water line and just as awesome on the upper eyelid as an eyeliner too. 

Comparison: Left Eye - The Colossal Kajal Super Black, Right Eye - The Colossal Kajal. The difference is evident.
(Note: according to reader's perspective) 

Another wonderful thing about this kajal is that it is scientifically tested which makes it suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens users. 

Pros

• Super jet black and stays on throughout the day.

• Smudge-proof, easy application.

• Excellent matte finish.

• You need only 1-2 strokes to get that intense color.

• Long lasting and brings out the brightness in your eyes.

• Attractive packaging.

Cons

• Costlier than the other kajals available in the market.

Would I Recommend?

Yes, definitely it's a must have. For all of you who've been in love with The Colossal Kajal are definitely going to love this kajal. I love the color that it provides for my eyes. But the price is a tad bit too high as compared to the previous Colossal Kajal which prices at Rs. 200, or for that matter any other kajal alternatives available across the counter. Otherwise, it is a good quality kajal and has lived up to its name and image again! :)
