Maybelline Kajal VS Lakme Kajal
The two most used Kajals in India are Maybelline Colossal Kajal and Lakme Kajal if I take drugstore barnds into consideration. I believe there is not one woman in the country that has not used the Lakme Kajal at least once and since the Colossal Kajal is so hyped and raved about, I think it is the same with Maybelline Colossal kajal as well!

I personally consider the Lakme Kajal to be the best budget kajal and that is a completely personal choice.
I am testing two of these most used kajal from Maybelline and Lakme on a few grounds and let us see how these perform.

Maybelline Colossal Kajal (MCK):- Stays for 4-5 hours on the waterline and stays on the eyelids for almost the whole day without smudging.

***I skipped out on testing how water proof these two are  but if you would like to know that let me know in the comments and I will update that as well. 

So, I like Lakme Kajal for my everyday use, especially when I am in a hurry and Maybelline when I know I am going to be out for a long time and need the kajal to last a long time.
Which one would you pick for your everyday use??
