|
| Extra Feature | No thing extra. | Comes with an in-built sharpener to sharpen the tip of the eyeliner.
|
| Shades available | Black, Jade, Sapphire, Purple, Slate. | Black, Glitzy Brown, Sapphire, Aqua green. |
| Texture of the eyeliner | All with creamy texture. Black and Sapphire are completely matte. Jade and Slate are little glossy. Purple is Smokey and has silver shimmer to it. 
Lakme Sapphire (matte) |
All with creamy texture. Black is matte, Aqua green is glossy, Sapphire is with silver glitters and Brown has glossy finish with very less glitters… 
Lotus Sapphire (glittery) |
| Color Pay Off | Quite intense but it is build able to intense, light, single-winged, double -winged looks. | Less pigmented than Lakme one but application would be intense with strong hand application. |
| Staying Power | Stays Nine to five as it says, but does fade too after 4-5hrs. Priming of eyes is required if you like thick lines, nor it will start to deposit in creases due to blinking of eyes. |
Quite good but starts to fade after about 4 hrs. Priming of eyes is required if you want thick lines for this too. |
| My Experience with it |
|
|
| Swatches |
Left sapphire, right – jade |
Left to Right Black, Sapphire, Brown |
| My Preferences | If only I compare Sapphire, For day time I will choose Lakme sapphire coz it is matte. Within rest others, I will re-purchase Jade | Lotus Sapphire is glittery so I will choose it for night outs. Here too I will repurchase Brown and Black. |
Which one is your favourite?
Wow. Lovely haul. Pity Lotus did not agree with my skin. Now, I’m tempted to give it a second try. Lovely colors and btw, very useful format for the comparative review

Another fantastic comparison Prerana! (Although, the top most pic have been swapped) I love posts like these. I’ve never bought the lotus liners, but I think I’ll check it out. Seems reasonable at 199 bucks.

As I mailed u..was out of station for few days for my cousins marriage..missed blogging alot
and now we will be meeting daily 
how was the marriage by the way?
I have heard gud thgs for lakme 9-5..bt lotus is a little harder in texture na..means it doesnt glide on easily..
have u used both of the BHumika?
Yup Bhumi, you are right, lakme is much more creamier…but then you will have to be very careful while gliding on skin, the more creamier and soft the eye pencil is, the more it is prone to breakage!!
i so agree now i am use to c breakage of my eye pencils..don feel the pain that much
