Review/swatches Essence 2 in1 eye shadow & eyeliner

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog, In today's post we are going to talk about Essence 2 in 1 eye shadow & eyeliner in the shade go bro'nze (waterproof)

So let's get started

I got this eye shadow not just a month ago and yes posted a picture of  all of the haul including this and I'm already obsessed with this thing. So I need to pick this up because for eye makeup in general I have a weird obsession with any thing which says bronze, I'm always like "That's mine"

The Product
This is an eye shadow and eyeliner stick which was launched by Essence earlier this year. this stuff is super pigmented, creamy, easy to apply and you just need 1 swipe in total and you are done. The fact that they are claiming it to be waterproof is actually true, you need to use a waterproof makeup remover to remove it I actually even once tested this under the water and you guys it didn't came off and 1 thing iI also want to add here that this stuff is also smudge proof I mean once you apply this then it will not smudge even if you touch your eyes. Now with this stuff they have used a very unique technique like once you apply it on your eyelids just give it a minute this will set completely on your eyes just like an liquid eyeliner which I feel is very interesting

 How to use it /how I use it?
So as I mentioned earlier here that I have an obsession with bronze shade, so let me tell you why?
I'm blessed with green eyes and If you guys know or if anyone who is reading this post who is also blessed with green eyes will know that the way bronze or brown pop?compliment green eyes no other color can (its like you are drawing a tree lol). So now enough the blabbering let's discuss how I use it now I'm not a eye shadow girl when it comes to everyday makeup but this you guys I apply it just like a swipe and then add a transition shade and I'm good to go, on special glam days I create a halo eye effect or use it as a base underneath another eye shadow or even for a smokey eye but for that you need to blend it extremely fast

The only ConNow I'm 100% satisfied with the product and I don't have any regrets buying it but the fact that the product itself is very big do make me think that they should attach a shaping tool underneath it so that you can use it as a liner and I do feel that they should also introduce these sticks in their slim versions

Final Take
I will give 4.5/5 stars
you guys should definitely check this out
this costed me for Rs 475
I got mine from Mall of Lahore but you can get yours from daraz.pk online

I hope you guys enjoy the review 

Untill next time

Let's get started

So 1 day I was going through all my lipsticks and while swatching them I found 2 colors extremely similar which were L'OREAL Color Riche in the shade 238 Orange After Party and SILLY18 lipstick in the shade 12 lavish instinct then I was like let me try it on my lips side by side and I did that and both of them were 100% identical.

RDizz Beauty Glitter Mousse

Hi everyone welcome back to the blog and I hope you all are well

So In today's post I'm gonna take you guys to a beauty product which made my life 200% easier dealing with glitters. So as you guys know glitters are always a hot thing or always is the best product to complete a glam look and as makeup junkie we all know how tough It is to work with loose glitters and girl don't even get me started on if one of your glitter decides to slip from your vanity to the floor, there is just no come back for the glitter itself



So let's talk about a product which is a life saver which are the RDizz beauty glitters. So Its a girl who started this whole set up of glitters in  a mousse form and now she have introduced various product after these initial glitter mousse success So today I'm going to review her "Golds and silvers" glitter palette because I feel like they can go with any and every outfit. So let's get started
Packaging
It comes in a transparent box with a paper thingy inside which as "Beauty's mousse creamy glitter, inside the packaging there are 12 individual container and the ingredients which are use in the making are not harmful In fact 1 of them is aloevera gel is one of them

The texture

So these glitters has a Creamy/Mousse texture, easy to work with because it's not just glitter in the container but it's a mousse in which all the glitters are stick to each other through the texture of the product So that is why there is near to no fall out which usually is not possible with the normal glitters

The best way to apply them is to use your fingers instead of brushes and then you can pack them on to your lids or anywhere you want to and the glitters will not go anywhere Until you remove it Yourself and I will suggest using a waterproof makeup remover and another thing is that you can apply it with no eye shadow or with no primer underneath, this thing is super easily to apply and a great tip I want to give you guys is that you can mix the glitters up I did actually wore these like that

A great thing I would say is that they can come out as individuals that means you are not bound to take the whole entire bunch of shades whenever you are travelling you can just take one or more with you depends on whatever color you needed and another thing is that because of the texture the product is not going to mess your makeup bag

Here are the swatches of All 12 shades in the palette/box of "Golds and Silvers"

Important thing
 I wanted to mention that when I was ordering mine 2 month back I actually ask her if we can choose any 12 shades from all the 6 palettes and that time this thing was not available but now you guys can have it like that

FINALLY
I will rate this 4.5/5 stars
These are available only in Pakistan and Dubai

Pakistan price: 900 from b.world1122 on Instagram
Dubai price:45 AED from PerniaZ MUA

Until next time:
STAY BEAUTIFUL!!!

2 in 1 Review + Swatches Essence Velvet/Glossy sticks

Hi everyone welcome back and Eid Mubarak to all of you who are celebrating
So I need to post this review earlier in this week but got really ill and still I'm super ill but need to post of coarse and then I did tried to post one it just automatically got deleted So now again trying to post the review

So today we are taking a look on the "Essence Velvet & Glossy sticks" which were launched in Essence Spring/Summer collection earlier this year so I need to pick these up because if you have been following my blog from the beginning you would have known mama loves her lipsticks so much so I decided to grab both the formulas and we are talking about both today but first lets start with the matte version

Essence VELVET STICK

Claims~ claims to be a semi matte finish

Product Itself
So I have 2 of these ones So they are calling these the "Velvet stick" that simply means that these will be matte but not over the top like they will not feel uncomfortable or anything like that the color is very pigmented creamy and easy to apply just in 1 swatch

They really have awesome colors to choose from As I did swatched all of them.There is no patchiness what so ever and they are amazingly pigmented for the price you are paying for
But there's only one bad thing about these is that if you  try to apply and build the color up They will start looking a little bit glossy after 3 to 4 layers which obviously you can blot with the help of a tissue. Other than that I really love everything about them especially how comfortable these are

I will give them 4/5 stars

Now Lets talk about the 2nd type of the product

Essence GLOSSY STICK

Claims
~ Now these sticks claims to give you a glossy finish or in other words we can say its a satiny finish

Product Itself

So I have 2 of these sticks as well and the both fulfill the claims. Both the colors are pigmented enough in 1 swipe

But only the lighter colors like nudes or pinks perform extremely well Once the color get darker there is no serious pigmentation left which for me is really shocking because mostly in lipsticks we see the color pay off is not great in the lighter color which is some how acceptable but in these sticks normal colors are extremely creamy and very pigmented but the darker color is greasy, not so pigmented, opaque plus you cant get the color payoff in one swipe and if you try to build the color up the last swipe will get removed by the glossy stick itself

                                                                                                                                                            Here I am showing you Swatches of Brilliant Burgundy from top to bottom 2, 3, 5 swatches

Overall I love the color luminous rosewood but not a fan of the shade brilliant burgundy

So I will rate it as 3/5
Got all of them from Mall of Lahore
You can also get them from daraz.pk
I'm sorry in advance If I sound off beat to you guys its just because I'm not well at all

Until next time
STAY BEAUTIFUL!!!

Rivaj UK Color Art lipstick pencil (waterproof/long lasting)

Hi my girls iI hope you all are well

So today I'm gonna talk about one of my favorite thing in makeup world obviously its lipsticks but today in particular I'm here to share some of my favorite lipstick formula which is Rivaj Uk's pencil lipsticks
Now I first buy 3 of these last year (at that time I use to think only expensive makeup can work) I got these and gradually fell in love with the formula, the pigmentation and what not. So now I currently own 9 out of so many shades, 

So let's discuss what this product has to offer

PACKAGING

They come in a full black packaging with white printing on it and the lid of it is also completely black but only the very lower portion of the lipstick itself shows the particular lipstick shade and they smells like typical lipstick

The claims of the product
~ Waterproof 

~ Long Lasting

Actual take 

Most of them are matte in my collection. There is only one which has chunks of glitter in it but the texture of that is also matte

 

The wear of this stuff is 7 to 8 hours which is very good for the price of it but even when they completely wears off It still gives slightest tint to your lips
Even the nude colors are super pigmented and can perform so well. none of them are patchy sticky or anything. Every color do fulfill the claims

They looks gorgeous on your lips. they go on very smoothly. Even They give a plumping effect on your lips some of the colors reminds me of kylie jenner lip kits which I think is amazing 

They are enough creamy they goes on beautifully and they can perform on their own and even if you use them underneath your liquid lipsticks, lipsticks in form of a bullet or even with lip gloss they just work brilliantly. Seriously You guys they always stay in my everyday bag and everyday drawer. Even I have purchased the backups of the colors I love the most

For me these are all rounder honestly the color selection is fab the staying power is ridiculously amazing and then they are extremely budget friendly. 1 can compare them with maybelline color drama lipstick pencil Its just that those don't stay on your lips for this long and for me they are a little bit extra creamy which can make them melt 

some of my all time favorite:

         

Skin Tone and Fire brick are my most favorites from the favorites 

Fire brick is a 100% dupe for Mac's Ruby Woo do compare them side by side

The other shades:

 I don't like the 007 because of the glitters but I do often use all the others


The Downer 

The only down side for me is that Some of them have names with the numbers on it but some of them only have names Whereas I prefer names more But That fact haven't stopped my love for them

Recommendation

I highly highly recommend these If you don't want to get so many like I do just get At least 1 or 2 shades I'm sure you girls will never get disappointed

My Rate: 5/5 (hands down they deserve)
Price: on some shops they retail for 70 and on the other 85 to 95 rupees
I usually get them from Rahat Lahore 

Until next time:

Review Fair & Lovely BB cream

Testing/Reviewing Fair & lovely BB Cream

Hi Beauties
I hope you all are doing well

So in today's blog post we will be discussing fair & lovely bb which is new to Pakistan's makeup world but it was launched in India way before Pakistan
Its a BB cream which claims to be a foundation + fairness cream 2 in 1

It claims to give you a flawless makeup effect without actually wearing makeup and at the same time it will lighten your complexion or make you look fair then you actually are which with all the respect to be honest I'm against the trend. If you are fair then you will be considered beautiful in Asian society but I feel like one should feel comfortable in their own skin tone instead of trying out different ways to change it 

Packaging

It has a shiny/glow tube with plain white lid and It has "YAAMI GUATAM" face on the tube like every other fair & lovely product and the packaging says Instant fair look, makeup finish

The Product Itself

So firstly it smells like other fair & lovely products and It just comes in 1 shade which might not suit most of the skin tone I feel like if Fair & Lovely wants to step their game into the makeup they at least should have 3 shades to choose from ( light, medium and dark) and for my skin tone this shade is medium because this is so much darker then my actual skin tone
Plus this stuff is super yellow. there are no pink or olive undertones I have a skin based on pink undertones I will not mind it being slightly yellow but just extremely yellow
If You have yellow undertones this might suits you

As I have sensitive skin and this BB makes my skin itchy and had to face allergic rash with it and as my skin is extremely sensitive but my skin type is normal/combination but sadly in Monsoon my skin is more on the dry side so this stuff is extremely uncomfortably matte If you are oily this might save you from greasy/oily skin

The Coverage 

In terms of coverage it did not cover any redness in 1 go so i would say it has light coverage but it is build able in 2 layers   

Overall it was a meh product for me
i will rate it as 2/5
This retails for 350 to 375

I hope you guys are enjoying reading my reviews
Until next time

Nivea After Men Shave Balm

Nivea After men shave balm

Hi everyone I hope you are all well
So today I'm here with a review of Nivea after men shave balm which can also be used as a primer 
As we all know "NikkieTutorials" first tried this stuff as a primer in one of her videos then she also mentioned it in 2015 early favorites
So I'm here to test that how it works with extra hot weather in our country during summers So I tested it for like a complete month because I wanted to see will it perform as good as it did on people who don't live in a humid country So I got the silver one because sensitive one was not available 

What it says?
* Fast absorbing and Non sticky formula
* Latest skin care technology
* Contains silver Ions (specifically in this one)
* Contains chamomile & vitamins
* Anti bacterial
So I am hands down a huge fan of this stuff. It makes your makeup stick to your skin 10 times more than a usual primer which is super shocking It doesn't even meant to be a primer. It controls a decent amount of oil and  I feel like on the days when I am using this primer my skin even feels flawless it even helps covering any redness on my face and that way I don't have to use a color corrector (green) I use this primer even when I am going for a glam look and even when I have to wear natural makeup

This now lives in my everyday makeup drawer. It has glycerin in it which makes your makeup stick to your skin I am seriously obsessed with this stuff  It can make your makeup stay even in a super humid day or in a rainy/stormy weather and the best part is that you need the tiniest amount (not even a drop) to cover up your whole face and neck and the bottle contains 100 ml which is seriously insane
I completely recommend this thing as a primer this stuff is beyond awesome
I rate it as 5/5
Got it from Green Valley (M all of  Lahore)
Until next time
STAY GORGEOUS!!!
