Hi,
First of all - it's my first post on English Sambla forum, so hello to everyone... I have passed by your forum during research of any informations about kohol. I live in Europe where it is almost impossible to find. There's only one european product that is similar to oryginal - that is Guerlain, Terracota Khôl Intense Poudre Libre, but it is much, much less effective.

I was wondering if there's anyone could help me to find the way to buy it. I could send you money in advance by bank wire transfer. I would buy at least 10 pieces of oryginal Kohol or maybe more... But it should be a safe Kohol - the one that you use, with a stamp with ingredients, of course without lead...

By the way, do you know it is allowed to send Kohol by mail?

I would appreciate any help, or any advice...

Send to Poland?

Most of the kohol has lead, except those arabic ones would most likely the badwains make. Or those who make them specifically.

their price would range but each could cost maximum to 1 R.O = 3.84 $US

-------

I've been told they sell them in Salalah (Thats a place in Oman)

Are you interested in any Kohol without lead or only the specific one you mentioned?

and about sending it by mail, I dont think it would be a problem. Will have to double check, to be sure.

I don't use the traditional Arabic kohl which you apply using your fingers or a special silver device. I use eyepencil. It is easier to apply and some brands give excellent results. However, the natural kohl is healthier and is good for the eyes. Are you looking for dark black or brown?

I'm looking for a black kohl. I have read that this type of kohl is used to do a special type of make-up, a "hinduism" Bollywood style. It makes eye look bigger. Is it true?

Alpine, welcome to sabla! :)
Actually, you can't find the REAL, genuine arabic kohol anywhere, except for Makka. Even if you buy it from Oman, Matrah or wherever, there has to be a bit of lead in it. So it's not 100% pure.
Isn't there a M.A.C or a Bobby Brown in Europe?! :lift:
They're good enough and look amazing when applied.
