Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. It's seen in the eyes & defines attitude. Kajal in women's eyes simply magnifies it all. Some prefer it and some do not.I got it for one of the female members of the family. Was initially skeptical about the genuinity reading other's comments but it turned out well. Relevant details below.••••••••••••••••••••🎁 INSIDE BOX••••••••••••••••••••→ Lakme Kajal Pencil- 2 nos→ 0.35g each••••••••••••➕ PROS••••••••••••1. Long-lasting kajal pencil with long kajal lead.2. Smudge-free application. Unlike local kajal, it does not smudge much after application.3. Rotate to extend kajal lead prevents wastage as is the case with wooden kajal pencil where you need to sharpen it. Lots of kajal is wasted with the sharpener.4. One pencil may last for months based on moderate usage.5. Dual pencil pack with extra savings.6. Kajal is waterproof & safe for eyes.•••••••••••••➖ CONS••••••••••••••I did not find any cons as such in this Lakme kajal.So a 5-star ★★★★★ product.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••✔ GENUINITY & DAMAGED PENCIL ISSUE•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Again, as i always say. Be proactive and research well before ordering from any seller to avoid the issues. Check seller ratings, Amazon fulfilled tag, etc. Not every seller here is there to dupe you. They too source material from retailers and wholesalers.And if you are unfortunate, contact Amazon with your issue. Its mentioned on the website "This item isn't eligible for return. However, if you've received a damaged, defective, or different item, you may contact us for the next steps."But since this product is directly non-returnable due to its nature, be proactive and avoid troubles in the first place.One thing that may help everyone is to make a video while opening any item received. This will act as proof (in case there's an issue) that it was sent to you that way while making a request to the care person. A minute video can save you troubles later on.▶ In my case pencil was intact with no damage to kajal lead or outer casing. Also, it's the same as the one sourced from the local shop. I have attached genuine hologram pics to compare. The fake ones have a different hologram.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••📊 CHARACTERISTICS OF GENUINE LAKME HOLOGRAM: (visible in pics)•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••1. Small lettered LAKME written all over horizontally.2. Central region had the 3D effect of a hemisphere with LAKME written on top and bigger font EYE CO NIC written in 3 separate lines.3. A big L visible in the central region surrounding hemisphere.4. Pacman type figure covering two sides of L in point 3.5. The hologram is under lamination and so is not removable.If you don't find the above characteristics, don't even open it from the back and contact Amazon.▶ A genuine hologram is authentic because its exact design is not at all easily reproducible. One needs the costly master die to reproduce the hologram while hologram manufacturers do not manufacture any brand-specific die or hologram without sufficient documentation authenticating the ownership of the brand name.••••••••••••••••🏆 VERDICT••••••••••••••••Its no doubt a wonderful product which eases the application of Kajal for Kajal lovers. Moreover, it's smudge-free and waterproof too. So it's highly recommended. I hope that you receive a genuine product. Be sure to check the genunity based on the above criteria and report to Amazon if it's not.
