Lotus Herbal kajal Vs Shehnaaz Hussain

I picked up the lotus Herbals kajal from health & glow, city center, Banjara Hills.

Instead of going all crazy writing long paragraphs I will pointer the positives and the negatives:
Positive:
1. Doesn't smudge as much as the Shehnaaz Hussein Shaeyes Kajal. I wouldn't say it's completely non smudgy, but it's much better.
2. The packaging might be a little more fun in terms of colour, for some. It feels quality too. The shaeyes has a rather cheap, and light plastic feel which might bother some.
3. The kajal when seen itself is not shiny and better to carry along even in the sun it wouldn't melt a little and get the oils to the surface. Hence, reducing smudging.
4. The molded cone of the kajal has a longer point for precise application in the inner corner of the eyes, this would also enable the point to last longer.

Negative:
1. There is a very tiny description of the contents, and I don't think it has all the goodness that shaeyes possessed. When applied I didn't feel the soothing cool effect that shaeyes gave.
2. Packaging according to me was not at all practical, the cap is super tiny and transparent. For something that I'd use so often, and is so important, losing the cap would not be fun!.
3. No mirror on the case!. Shaeyes had a very practical mirror which made applying on the go super easy, especially since both these kajals are in the cone shaped lipstick container you need your fingers free to pull down the lower skin for application on the lower lash line.
4. I found the content of the lotus herbals kajal lesser than that of the shaeyes. But I may be mistaken on that because I didn't have the wrapping of the latter to read. Will update when I do find out.

All in all I am not disgusted or saddened by the purchase. But I will however repurchase Shaeyes over Lotus Herbals because even though it smudges I personally like my kajal smudged and super dark. Lotus Herbal I will keep for occasions where I need a more clean eye.

  2. I think it will be available in any beauty store that stocks products of various brands. Here we have health and glow I'm not sure if there's an outlet of that there. It's an indian product so shouldn't be much of a problem. Do let me know how it works for you, best of luck...

  4. I know you could get shehnaaz hussain one in any indian stores out there, or even online, there was a youtuber who's also in the UK who showed it on on her channel i can't find that video, but thats how i came to know of it....whereas for himalaya or even lotus herbal i don't know if they sell outside India. Himalaya might.....
