Rimmel Scandal Eyes Water Proof Kohl Kajal in 001 Black-Review, Photos, Swatches

It's one of the company's most talked about products and I finally had the chance to give it a try. But I have a mixed review about it.
Rimmel Scandal Eyes Water Proof Kohl Kajal is an extremely soft, super black eye liner that is supposed to stay on the eyes for long hours. To quickly review, I'd say the pencil is very professionally packaged. The formulation is very creamy and it glides on the eyes like a dream. It is super duper black. It's great for creating faded eye makeup looks or can be worn alone. I don't think I have seen any pencil as black. Stays on the lash line for long but fades away from the waterline within an hour. It's partially water proof as it does smear around the eye a bit after it comes in contact with water. It can't handle hot weather as I have panda eyes by the end of the day (lets say after 5 hours of wear). I'm scared of sharpening it and the tip is extremely soft and may break. So still need to figure that out. Lastly, It is very hard to get off. I have to rub my eyes rigorously with my face wash and yet it does not come off the lower lash line. Then I have to rub it off with a mild tissue. The Rimmel Scandal Eyes Water Proof Kohl Kajal comes in 7 shades and each pencil contains 1.2 grams of the product. With a price tag of Rs. 795/-, a lot of people may find it expensive.

Rating: 3.5/5

Conclusion: The black is amazing and so is the formulation but the bleeding part is a turn off for me. An alternative to this one is the Rimmel Soft Kohl Eye Liner, which I have used personally and it is cheaper. Recommended? Worth a try!
