i will try to make a long story, short.

when i was still heavy in the club scene i had a friend, in india, that would send me egyptian kohl (i know, its a bit confusing but it was easier for her to get egyptian kohl in india than egypt lol). this was so perfect (well except for the burning and stinging for the first few minutes) and i havent been able to find anything remotely like it. does anyone know a good place to find some or something comparable?

for those that arent familiar, you take the kohl and put it in your eyes and it disperses to the edges of your eyes. it takes days to dissapate and a little goes a long way. for a goth, these are requirements lmao

i have tried every single brand of manufactured eyeliner and nothing works as well. i would love to find a source for this.

If you have an Indian grocery store near you go , they practically always have it. Ask for Kajul (can't remember spelling but you pronounce it that way, lol)

Do you put it on the inside ridge? Do you think that's bad for your eyes? It sounds beautiful.

just an update -
i hadn't gotten my order so i emailed the company, and emailed and still didn't hear anything. i then emailed and told them that i was going to file with paypal, if i didn't hear back within 3 days. they wrote me tonight to tell me my order had gone out. i will update if i receive it.

Have you tried the eye liner?

Would it be appropriate for a almost 13 year old that wears eye liner anyway? I can stand the smudging right now - this seems like ti would prevent that?

no ma'am i have to wait until i am off all surgery meds (you can't be on narcotics and use eyeliner inside of your eye or it causes problems). if your 13 year old can stand the burning from putting it directly in their eye, then it should would really well for them
