Cafe's Star Product - Maybelline 24 Hr Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in 'Fierce and Tangy' Review and Swatches
October 04, 2012
This is the story of a love triangle. The story is set around 2 weeks back in time when I went in quest of Kryolan products to the only store in town that would probably have them. But all they had were some palettes (which I did not want) and the TV Paintstick (which I already have). I was just about to leave when the SA dragged me to the Maybelline counter and kept forward all the Color Tattoo eyeshadows. I vaguely remembered hearing about them in the distant past but since they were cream-based, I had already made up my mind not to buy them. There was this one color, though, that attracted and distracted me - and that was the 'Fierce and Tangy'!. By this time, somehow, the SA had managed to swatch all of them on my hand. I do not remember the other shades as I was all eyes just for the 'Fierce and Tangy'. It so happened that the mind that was obsessed with Kryolan while going in, now came out of the store with the 'Fierce and Tangy' haunting it. I did not buy it that day....
Four days back, on a Sunday, I went to the nearby mall, this time for the Baby Lips lip balm. I glanced again and decided to buy this time, no not Baby Lips but the 'Fierce and Tangy' Color Tattoo!!! How far does this story go? Does it end in tragedy or was it a happy ending? Want to find out? Keep reading...

Kohl(ed) Cafe - Maybelline Colossal Kajal versus Lakme Eyeconic Kajal Review and Swatches
September 21, 2012
After ruling the Indian kohl world for nearly a year now, Maybelline Colossal Kajal is witnessing a new competitor in the form of Lakme Eyeconic Kajal. A similar wave has hit upon the makeup market with most online and offline stores declaring a 'Sold-Out' on the latest Lakme eyeconic kajal.
As for me, the Colossal has been and continues to be a favourite since an entire year. Too much of a good thing can sometimes get very uninteresting. So if you think that my comparison between these two kohl pencils is going to be biased, then you are mistaken. For as much as I still love my Colossal, I am also eagerly waiting for an another brand that can replace it. You see, I am starting to get a little bored using the same kohl for over a year now. The Colossal is still great but it is time now for a change. Let us see if the Eyeconic can meet the high standards set up by my Colossal or if it actually fares better....
Haul posts are my favourite kind of posts. Irrespective of whether the haul is small or huge, it never fails to attract me. If you ask me, it is an extension of retail therapy. A strange and special kind of happiness takes over me when I see a haul, even if it is someone else's. Hope you like my haul too. Here are more pictures...
