REVIEW "Beautify by Amna" (24K gold and roses Serum and Porfade Primer) (Part 2)

Hi everybody I hope you are all well so today I'm here to talk about the products that are left from the Beautify by Amna Range which is the 24k gold and roses serum and the PORFADE Primer So Lets get started

24K GOLD & ROSES SERUM:

This is the product that took me the most time to test it and to see how it worked because this is one of the most hyped up product from their range and I was not liking it and it claimed to be an all skin type product which I was not actually accepting but then 1 day I actually applied it without any moisturizer or any thing else on my face and honestly I really liked the finish it gave me even with the more full coverage foundation because my skin is feeling beautiful underneath it does give a curtain luminosity and it really helps your foundation not to get cakey I really like this serum whenever I have to do a full glam makeup it does make your skin extremely radiant which I really like

How to use:

So I was first applying a moisturizer and then applying this but the right way to apply it is just apply a drop on your forehead and a drop on both cheeks each and then gently massage it on your skin but make sure you take your time applying it nicely and you can also use it as a lip oil which is a plus overall I really like this primer

PORFADE FOUNDATION PRIMER:

So once the serum step is done you can go ahead and apply this primer now what I really like about these products is you can apply them step by step or you can use them separately you don't have to follow the a curtain rule with them but if you do it performs like a dream

now the primer is silicon based primer which honestly I generally don't like but with this one it turned out to be opposite I really like this primer and I do use it everyday when I get ready for my college my skin does feel nice right after applying it and it does make my makeup last and does prevent oil so I really love this for everyday as well as glam makeup days

How to use:

Take out the primer rub it in your hands and apply it starting from your T zone to other areas its as simple as that


I will rate it as: 3.5/5

Honestly I got really impressed by MINISO All the stuff  is super cute and girly I really liked that it was pastel themed I'm pretty sure that I will be going there a lot

Please excuse how I took all the pictures because I was extremely restless and wanted to open every thing as quickly as possible
The one thing I was most excited about was the ULTRASONIC because I really wanted to have something like that in my skin care section and I was a little unsure of getting something like that Online but finally I found one and it's pink which is a plus

Another thing I wanted to mention is that you do have to pay Rs 8 for the shopping bag plus their prce range starts from 249 rs

Lastly Please let me know if you guys want me to review anything mentioned above. I know I didn't got much makeup because I already have so much new to try and I'm currently on a no buy when it comes to makeup

Review of "Beautify by AMNA" Collection (Part 1)

HI everyone how are you today so I'm here today to share my review on the beautify by amna range about which I asked you guys on my Instagram handle yesterday so here I'm

In today's blog I will only be discussing about the brush set they have and I will briefly tell you guys how I feel about them. First I'm going to insert a picture of the brushes from their website so you guys can get an idea on how to use them

PLEASE NOTE: that this product was not sent to me and I purchased it with my own money so I will be definitely giving you my true thoughts about these

First of all I am honestly super impressed with the gold glittery brush box that i got it's super chic and I love to travel with it but actually before this brush box people use to get a pouch look like a clutch with 8 brushes but now we have 10 brushes in the box and they have 5 eye and 5 face brushes so let's discuss them separately

FACE BRUSHES: 

Okay so first I will be telling you the brush I don't like which is the contour brush which is like a spoon brush I don't like using such brushes over all which is a personal preference but other then that I really like the  bunch 

I actually never thought about liking the highlight brush but honestly I can see a huge difference between this brush and other highlight brush honestly with this brush you need a little amount but on your face it will show up as you have applied at least 3 layers just with the first layer because the bristels are so closed to each other

Then we have the blush brush you can use it as a blush or a powder brush as well and honestly this is good for both it is super soft and it can blend the product beautifully it is an ultimate blush brush for me 

The foundation brush is the one that was the most unexpected for me I thought that it would be a gimmick but it actually impressed it is nothing less like a synthetic brush it does blend the foundation effortlessly and honestly it is my best friend when it  comes to quickly doing my makeup in the car  

The bronzer brush is a dupe for a sigma brush but I'm obsessed with the brush ever since I got it now it does bronze beautifully on the places where you should bronze  you can be very messy with it or you can also be calculative with it In both the ways I'm sure you with love the end result 

EYE BRUSHES:   

First thing's first  I would like to address the fact that for the eye brushes they need to expand their range I don't see a pencil brush or a fluffy blending brush but other then that I do like them

1 thing I will be saying that I do like the face brushes more than the eye brushes but let's separately discuss the eye one as well 

I really am obsessed with their tapped blending brush which is the exact dupe of sigma one it kind of make even the shadows that are extremely hard to blend work magically I mostly use it when I have to do a smoked out crease 

On the other hand I think the actual crease brush is just an average crease brush but harder on the eyelids but if you don't mind that it is good

I really like the shape of the eyeliner brush and for all the eyeliner junkies out there this is definitely a must have in their collection 

now let's discuss the eyebrow brush I really like the spoolie end of the brush but the angled end is a little thick if you are going to do your brows with that but I use it as a eye shadow primer brush and it works fine

the last is the blending brush which has 2 different sides 1 is synthetic and the other is hair now I really don't like it. it doesn't even pick any product nicely or blend anything nicely both the side are really bad

ISSUES I HAVE:

So it is definitely a great set as the price point is concerned but the brushes from the actual stand breaks really easily I have not pull them or anything but my foundation brush and my eyeliner brush broke okay fine I get it maybe I'm using the foundation brush way too much but I only used the eyeliner brush twice or maybe thrice and it broke even badly now I know I can fix it with a hot glue gun but I actually preferred to show that to you all first

FINAL VERDICT:

Overall I do think it is a decent set for bridals or people who are beginning with their makeup journey it is definitely something you can get away with 

I will give it 3.75/5

You can get it from beautifybyAMNA

REVIEW/SWATCHES "Rivaj UK Color Fusion Lipsticks"

Hi everyone how are you?

Today I will be reviewing the Rivaj UK color fusion Lipsticks as you guys seem to really like all the Pakistani brand base reviews So here we go

So I actually had these lipsticks for almost a year now but I have never given them a good shot but now I started using these 

Packaging:

It comes in a basic white packaging with the golden writing on it and on the very bottom the shade name is written but when you open the lid inside it is a golden color packaging

The color pay off and the longevity:

 So the lipsticks are extremely creamy and honestly you only need 1 swipe to get the full color pay off which I'm really impressed with but the duration of these lipsticks are something that I'm not a huge fan of because of being something extremely creamy and comfortable they almost feel like a gloss but not the sticky one so that's why they will last for like 3 4 hours if you don't eat anything but lets say if you are eating something like a burger these babies will definitely fade away or i would say shift and I think for such a lower priced lipstick you cannot expect that it will be perfect

However I would like to say that it is a great option for college going girls who like to look good but at the same time don't want to spend their monthly pocket money on just 1 makeup item

Quality:

Quality wise I'm pretty impressed by the color pay off, the hydration plus the balmy feeling on the lips 

One thing is for sure that it will not make your lips dry at all

My Trick:

My trick to make this lipstick last is that I apply foundation on my lips to make it last more than the usual and if you want to make it further long lasting you can apply a translucent powder on top and blend it but it will at the same time make your lipstick matte and that is completely on you if you feel comfortable in a curtain finish

THE SHADE I DON'T LIKE:

The shade number 12 is the one that swatches very nicely on the hand but on the lips it honestly washes me out and considering that I'm pretty fair I think it will not suit most of the skin tones but other than I really like all the other shades I have 

SWATCHES:

I got mine from RAHAT Lahore 

They are priced at 160 rupees each

You get 2 grams of product 

You can also purchase them www.rivaj-uk.com

"Foundation Routine" for Dry Skin

Hi everyone I hope you guys are well
And I know I'm posting after ages because of my study and stuff but let's start again

So if you guys know me you would know that I suffer from extreme dry skin problems and obviously it is even harder to do your foundation/base with such skin problems but now i do have a routine which can make your skin look beautiful personally and in pictures as well So let's get started

Please note that I will only be discussing the foundation portion but if you guys want to know what primers I use or what skin care steps I take please feel free to ask

My Foundation Routine:

First things first I like to take my Makeup Revolution Strobe cream then I mix equal amount of Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in the strobe cream and dot it on my face
now I would like to mention here that I know that if you have textured or pigmented skin then you would have to mix more foundation as you go

Once I'm done with the mixing and applying I like to take either REAL TECHNIQUES buffing brush or SIGMA F80 flat top kabuki or BEAUTIFY BY AMNA Foundation brush depends on which one is clean that day but honestly I love them all but still if I would have to choose then hands down I will be choosing the SIGMA one

Just before buffing my foundation I like to spray my brush with some of Makeup Revolution Pro Fix Illuminating Spray to further make my foundation look more illuminating and natural at the same time and then I buff my foundation away then just after that I like to set the face with my Essence Cosmetics Strobing Highlight powder which is a satin finish powder and will not cakey at all

Trust me my foundation does look beautiful and I have received a fair share of compliments because of this trick which I have been using since 7 8 months on every special occasion

So if you have dry skin please do try this and let me know your thoughts
